Summary
The Farmers Branch Historical Preservation Board accepted a slate of officers for upcoming terms, confirmed a temporary voting assignment for an alternate member and recorded motions to approve the minutes and nominations during its November meeting.
The Farmers Branch Historical Preservation Board opened its meeting at 6:31 p.m. and moved first to housekeeping items, including approval of the Oct. 23, 2025 minutes and officer nominations.
A board member (Speaker 1) listed the offices — chair, vice chair, secretary and liaison to the Friends of the Historical Park — and said the current lineup included Jenny as chair, Kristen as vice chair, Jenny as secretary and Theresa as liaison. Following discussion about members— upcoming absences and term lengths, Speaker 1 formally moved to accept the slate "as set"; the motion was seconded and recorded as accepted by the board in the meeting minutes (the audio records the motion and second but does not include a numerical roll call in the transcript).
Speaker 3 raised that an alternate, Helen, should be made a voting member for the night; Speaker 1 confirmed Helen was a voting member for the meeting and the board amended tonight—s appointments accordingly.
Separately, the meeting included a motion to approve the Oct. 23, 2025 minutes. The motion was seconded; the transcript documents the motion and second but does not include a formal roll-call tally in the recorded segments.
The board set follow-up steps for officer transitions and volunteer recruitment, noting several members will be unavailable in July and that the group will need additional volunteers to maintain staffing continuity. The board also agreed to finalize officer roles at the next meeting if needed.
The board adjourned at 7:04 p.m.; its next regular meeting is scheduled for Jan. 22, with a board-chair strategic planning session set for Jan. 13 at 5:00 p.m. at City Hall.
