Farmers Branch historic board approves minutes, postpones officer nominations and award picks
Summary
At its Oct. 23 meeting the Farmers Branch Historical Preservation and Restoration Board approved previous meeting minutes and voted to postpone election of board officers and selection of the annual Witness to History award until next month.
The Farmers Branch Historical Preservation and Restoration Board approved the minutes of its Sept. 25 meeting and voted to postpone both board officer nominations and the selection of the Witness to History award at its Oct. 23 meeting.
Board business began with a motion to accept the Sept. 25 minutes as posted; a second was called and members signaled assent. A board member then moved to suspend nominations for the board’s officers (chair, vice chair, secretary and liaison) until the next month’s meeting to allow more members to participate; a second was recorded and the motion carried. Later in the agenda the board considered nominations for the Witness to History award (one business, one person) and voted to postpone that decision until members had formal applications to review.
Board members cited the need for more candidates and time to secure nominees’ consent. A board member asked that nominees complete the application form in the packet before the board reconsiders the award.
The postponements mean the board will delay selecting officers and the Witness to History award recipient until its next scheduled meeting; the board noted it typically forwards the award nomination to city council in February and needs lead time to prepare materials. The board also confirmed it has no meeting in December and plans to provide a year-end presentation to the city council on Dec. 2.
