The Landmark Advisory Commission

Our Mission & Vision

The Landmark Advisory Commission was started in 2009 to effect and accomplish the protection , enhancement, perpetuation and use of historic resources located within the City.

The Commission consists of 5 members, including one City Councilor, one Planning Commission member, and three citizens. Two of the citizens may live outside the City limits, but must be within the urban growth boundary.

Each member will have at least one year residency and knowledge or interest in historic preservation.

In May of 2023 the LAC got together to set goals for the commision to focus on. The goals were approved at the June 20th, 2023 meeting. If you would like to see what their goals are for the future please click below.
