The
Historic Preservation Commission consists of nine members who are appointed by
the Village President to serve three-year terms.
The purpose of the Commission
is to assist the Village Board in the preservation, protection, enhancement, rehabilitation,
reconstruction, or use of historic structures, sites, or areas in the Village,
and to educate the residents of the Village regarding the importance of historic
preservation.
The Commission reviews and recommends to the Village Board
requests for property to be designated as a landmark or the creation of an historic
district. The Commission also issues certificates of appropriateness for exterior
alterations to building designated as landmarks or located within an historic
district.
The Historic Preservation Commission meets on the second Tuesday
of each month. Special meetings are scheduled as needed.
