Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance to expand the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee from 7 to 9 voting members. This committee reviews proposals that could affect historic buildings and neighborhoods in the city. Adding two more members aims to provide broader community representation and reduce the risk of meeting cancellations when current members are unavailable. The ordinance will return for a final vote in two weeks, which is standard procedure for city law changes.
