Historic Landmarks Commission re-elects Bob McNary as chair, names Forrest vice chair
Summary
At its Nov. 20 special meeting the Historic Landmarks Commission unanimously elected Bob McNary to continue as chair and confirmed Forrest as vice chair by unanimous ballot after nominations and a motion to cast a unanimous ballot.
The Historic Landmarks Commission held nominations and confirmed leadership for the coming term during its Nov. 20 special meeting.
A commissioner nominated Bob McNary to serve as chair and another member moved that the secretary cast a unanimous ballot. The motion to cast a unanimous ballot was approved and the commission confirmed McNary as chair. Later in the meeting members nominated Forrest for vice chair, moved for a unanimous ballot and confirmed the nomination by voice.
Why it matters: The commission relies on elected leadership to run meetings, shepherd goal-setting and coordinate with city staff and council. Members said the continuity of leadership helps maintain momentum on long-term preservation projects.
Procedural details: The nominations and unanimous-ballot motions were handled at the dais; the commission did not conduct a roll-call vote for the leadership positions beyond the unanimous-ballot motion, which commissioners described as effectively closing nominations and confirming each slate.
What’s next: With officers in place, staff will proceed with drafting the commission’s prioritized 2025 goals for review and subsequent transmittal to the city council.
