TO: M E M O R A N D U M Historic Landmark Commission members FROM: Cara Bertron, Senior Planner Housing & Planning Department DATE: June 25, 2021 Preservation Plan Working Group selection SUBJECT: The Preservation Plan Committee recommends that the attached list of people be appointed to the Preservation Plan Working Group. This group will develop the draft equity-based historic preservation plan between July 2021 and June 2022. Nearly 150 people applied to participate in the working group, reflecting widespread interest in celebrating and preserving local heritage. The selection process was conducted by members of the Preservation Plan Committee and City staff. Considerations in the process included: • Ensuring that members represent the key stakeholder groups identified in the working group’s creation; • Valuing a range of lived experiences, particularly from groups that have historically been underrepresented in or excluded from public processes. These groups include BIPOC people (Black, Indigenous, and other people of color), transgender people, residents of the Eastern Crescent, and renters; and • Recognition that strong community affiliations and geographic diversity will bring essential perspectives into the working group and help communicate outward about the planning process.
