The Historic Advisory Board considers all issues involving historic preservation in the city and makes recommendations to the Council.

The Board is composed of nine members serving two-year terms. A minimum five-year residency is required for membership. 

A five member non-voting subcommittee assists in project development and implementation. Subcommittee members have a five-year residency requirement and attend all Board meetings. Appointments are made in January.

Current members include:  Judith Howard, Karen Esberger, John Holveck, T.E. Baxter, Gary Hayes,  Mary Proffitt, Jeanne Ray, Hester Pender, Sam Hartson, Annette Pierce, Margaret Hill, Kathy Robinson, Kenneth Branscome and Brenda Hayes.

The Board meets quarterly (February, May, August & November), on the third Thursday of the month at 5:00 p.m. in City Hall.

The City Council's policy is to limit membership to one board/commission at a time in order to provide an opportunity for service and involvement to as many citizens as possible. Training is available to all new appointees.
