Council reappoints and appoints members to Historic Preservation Board; one Boca Raton Historical Society designee reappointed
Summary
Council votes reappointed Edward Graves to the Historic Preservation Board (5‑0), appointed Dr. Susan Schultz to an at‑large seat (3‑2), and reappointed Elaine DeCastanzo as the Boca Raton Historical Society designee; council discussed remaining vacancies and need for AIA/architect representation.
The Boca Raton City Council completed several appointments to the Historic Preservation Board on Tuesday. The council reappointed Edward Graves (incumbent) by majority vote and appointed Dr. Susan Schultz to an at‑large seat. Elaine DeCastanzo was reappointed to the board as the Boca Raton Historical Society designee.
Council discussion covered board composition and the requirement for certain seats to be filled by AIA‑affiliated architects; councilmembers noted one vacancy remains for an AIA member and encouraged qualified applicants to apply. Councilmember Thompson moved to reappoint Graves and put forward several additional applicants; the roll call vote results showed Dr. Graves received five votes in favor and Dr. Schultz received three votes, which secured both appointments.
DeCastanzo was reappointed to a designated seat for the Boca Raton Historical Society without contest. The council thanked all applicants for their interest and urged others with appropriate qualifications (notably licensed architects) to apply for the remaining vacancy.
The appointments were recorded in the minutes and staff will process the appointment paperwork and terms per standard practice.
