HPB to consider earlier meeting time; staff to update web page and leadership change planned
Summary
Staff asked members to consider moving the Historic Preservation Board meeting from 4:30 p.m. to an earlier time, announced a planning team will update the board's web page, and said Chair Lowenberg intends to step down as chair in September while remaining on the board.
Staff asked the board to consider changing its regular meeting time from 4:30 p.m. to an earlier hour within typical business hours to avoid meetings running past 5 p.m. and to reduce after-hours staff time. "Would you consider changing the meeting time from 04:30 to either an earlier time so that the board's business could be conducted, 9 to 5," staff asked, noting the request aims to make meetings more accessible and reduce staff burden.
Bill Gray also said the planning department has assembled a web team to refresh the planning and Historic Preservation Board web pages and asked members to review the current historic preservation page and send suggested improvements. Gray announced that Chair Lowenberg has requested to step down as chair in the fall (September) but intends to remain on the board to complete her term; the board will appoint a new chair and vice chair at the September meeting.
Staff asked board members to respond to an upcoming email confirming attendance and whether they will join in person or via Teams, to ensure quorum and clarify which alternates may be elevated to voting members.
