Historic preservation advisory board re-elects Juanita Sep�falveda as chair, approves minutes

The Compliance and Technical Advisory Board re-elected Juanita Sepfalveda as chair and Jason Ve1zquez as vice chair during its Jan. 23 meeting and unanimously approved the minutes from Dec. 19.

The re-elections were handled by nomination and voice vote after Sepfalveda nominated herself for another term and named Ve1zquez as vice chair. The board then moved to accept the Dec. 19 minutes as written and recorded an affirmative roll-call vote of all members present.

The chair opened the session by describing the board's advisory role on certificates of appropriateness under the City's Unified Development Code and reminding attendees about Spanish interpretation services and time limits: representatives have 15 minutes to present plus two minutes to respond to public comments, and public commenters have two minutes each.

The action keeps the board leadership in place for another year and sets the procedural framework for hearings to follow. The board did not take other substantive policy actions during this item.
