activities that enhance public awareness of the City's historic resources. The HRB acts as an
advisory board to the City Council, as well as a liaison to the Council for local, state, and federal
groups and agencies whose interest involves historic issues. The HRB advises on issues
pertaining to the preservation of historic commercial and residential structures and sites. It also
cooperates with the Planning Commission and the Community Services Commission to ensure that
historic preservation and services are considered in the planning for future development in the
community.
Board Members Ronald Knowles, Amy Mason, Kathie Schey (Chair), and Duane Wentworth have
terms that will end on June 30, 2017. Also, Karen McNeil resigned from her position on February 3,
2017. Therefore, there will be five vacant positions on the Historic Resources Board. Ronald
Knowles, Kathie Schey, and Duane Wentworth request reappointment to another four year term.
Therefore, Council Members Hardy and Peterson propose approval of their reappointment to the
