Town Seeks Board Members
Posted January 25, 2018 at 5:48 am by Tim Dustrude
The Town of Friday Harbor is looking for two people to fill immediate vacancies on the Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB).
The best candidates are people who appreciate Friday Harbor’s history and historic sites, and are willing to attend two meetings a month to help preserve Friday Harbor’s rural character. At least one of the positions must be filled by a Friday Harbor resident. The other position is open to anyone living on San Juan Island.
The five unpaid citizen board members who make up the HPRB are appointed by the mayor to help guide the Town and the owners of historic properties toward the common goal of sensitive preservation of historic buildings for contemporary use. It is nuanced work that also requires a willingness to collaborate and the desire to serve the community.
And above all, the HPRB is the advocate for historic buildings that have no voice of their own, except in our memories.
