Historic Resources Board Staff Report (ID # 7852) Report Type: City Official Reports Meeting Date: 3/9/2017 City of Palo Alto Planning & Community Environment 250 Hamilton Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94301 (650) 329-2442 Summary Title: City Official Report March 9, 2017 HRB Meeting Title: Election of Officers, Discussion by HRB Subcommittee on Governance, Resume Retreat Discussions including Prioritization of Items on Potential Projects List From: Hillary Gitelman Recommendation Staff recommends the Historic Resources Board (HRB) elect officers; resume its discussions from the February 23, 2017 retreat regarding governance and prioritization of projects. Background On January 26, 2017, the HRB continued the election of officers to a date uncertain, given that the Council had not yet appointed members to serve in the three seats in transition, and modified the HRB bylaws to keep October as the month for such elections, but also add wording regarding holding elections ‘as soon thereafter as possible’. The HRB members became finalized and the new HRB member seated as of February 23, 2017. The HRB held a retreat on February 23, 2017 and formed a subcommittee to explore the governance topic and requested to discuss this on March 9, 2017. The HRB also reviewed the list of potential projects and requested to resume discussion regarding prioritization. The HRB may request to postpone this discussion to a future meeting.
