Preservation Board

The Preservation Board is a nine-member panel made up of eight citizens and design professionals appointed by the Mayor for four-year terms, and the Chairman of the Aldermanic Committee on Public Safety, or their appointee.

Six of the eight other positions have specific requirements: at least two must be registered architects; one a practicing art or architectural historian; one a practicing landscape architect or planner with experience in urban or civic design; one a licensed real estate broker; and one a registered engineer.

The Board acts as an administrative law judge, governed by State law. The City Counselor represents the Board and the Cultural Resources Office serves as its staff.
