The Staunton Historic Preservation Commission opened its meeting with a welcome for new member Annie Matat, whom the chair identified as a local architect with Bluebird Designs and formerly with Frasier Associates. The chair called the meeting to order after resolving brief technical difficulties.

The commission then observed a moment of silence and heard a reading of the commission's historic preservation preamble by Mr. Lovely, which summarized the commission's role under the city's historic preservation ordinance and the zoning code. The preamble noted the commission's responsibility to issue or deny certificates of appropriateness for changes to properties in historic districts and described preservation goals including promoting tourism and stabilizing property values.

The chair also reminded the group of procedural matters for the evening and noted she might need to hand the gavel to Mr. Brown later if she needed to leave early. No formal action was required for the introduction of the new member.
