Forms and Applications
Bylaws
Bylaws provide a format and guidance for the operations of the Historic Preservation Commission. The information is gathered from the historic preservation ordinance and written in a way that is easy to understand. It also gives the HPC an opportunity to elaborate on policies in the preservation ordinance.
Bylaws include membership requirements, establish a regular meeting time and place, determine what constitutes a quorum and contain a conflict of interest policy.
