In July, 1998 the City Council approved an ordinance which established a Historic Preservation Commission. The Council recently appointed seven Commission members, who conducted their first meeting on September 28, 1998. Some of the Commission's duties are:

To initiate, develop and supervise surveys to identify historically and architecturally significant properties;
