3. Historic Preservation Board Membership

Historic Preservation Board · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

This item concerns the Historic Preservation Board membership for the City of DeLand. The City Commission is planned to appoint at least five members to this board. The board aims to include individuals with expertise in history, real estate appraisal, urban planning, engineering or building construction, landscape architecture, and archeology. Additional knowledgeable citizens may also be appointed. The board requires a majority of members to be DeLand residents, with a minority potentially being nonresidents who own property or businesses in a Historic District. This is an early stage in the process, focusing on board composition. The work this sets in motion involves the ongoing review and guidance of historic preservation efforts within the city. Local businesses in fields like engineering, building construction, real estate, urban planning, and landscape architecture may find opportunities to contribute their expertise through board appointments or by engaging with the board's future decisions. Reaching out to understand the board's needs and the city's historic preservation goals could provide early insight.
