Oak Bluffs reappoints Historical Commission members and moves to revitalize Sign Review Committee
Summary
The board reappointed Barbara Baskin, Linda Bryant and Kathy Laskowski to the Historical Commission and approved several appointments to the Sign Review Committee, with Baskin describing close coordination with the Martha’s Vineyard Commission on demolition permits.
Historical Commission Chair Barbara Baskin asked the Select Board to reappoint her to the Historical Commission for a three-year term, noting the commission’s coordination with the Martha’s Vineyard Commission on demolition permit review and the effort to update older 'macros reports' for state historic filings. The board reappointed Baskin, Linda Bryant and Kathy Laskowski by roll-call vote.
Baskin said the Historical Commission’s work extends to Cottage City Historic District review and other preservation planning; the minutes state she has worked with the building administrator on archival report updates. The board also voted to revitalize the Sign Review Committee: Baskin described recruiting efforts and the board appointed Baskin as the Select Board designee along with Linda Bryant, Dana Hughes and Marta Van Ranst to terms on the Sign Review Committee.
Minutes record Baskin’s remarks that the commission "works very closely with the Martha's Vineyard Commission" on demolition permits and that she has been updating records for state filings.
