Board accepts business recipient for 'Witness to History' award; personal nomination tabled until application received
Summary
The board moved and seconded to accept the business category recipient for the Witness to History award and deferred the personal nominee until staff receives the formal application and can present it in January.
The Historical Preservation and Restoration Board voted to accept a business recipient for the Witness to History award and deferred action on a personal nominee until the formal application is provided to staff.
Board members discussed whether Carol Dingman’s application for a living-history/personal award had been submitted; several members said the committee had met and the nominee had accepted, but staff indicated they had not yet received the official paperwork. "I do feel uncomfortable voting on somebody who hasn't actually submitted the application," one member said, and the board agreed to table personal nominations and reconvene the matter in January.
On the business award, a motion to accept the nominee was made and seconded; the Chair called for and received unanimous assent with no recorded opposition.
What’s next: staff will gather the missing application materials for the personal nominee and bring the matter back to the board at the January meeting or another date before the council presentation, which staff said is scheduled for Feb. 18.
