ISSUE STATEMENT
The council is asked to reappoint Richard Danemiller to fill the last remaining vacancy on the Historic
Review Board.
BACKGROUND
Each year, the council makes appointments to boards, committees and commissions. The last major
recruitment and appointment process occurred in October 2008. Chapter 2 of the Eugene Code addresses
standing committees to the City Council and the appointment process for those. For most standing
committees created in the Code, the council is the appointing authority.
The annual recruitment for boards, committees and commissions was initiated on July 14, 2008, and
concluded with appointments on October 27, 2008. The recruitment was publicized on the Internet, through
press releases, council newsletter items, City offices, and at City-related meetings and events.
For the Historic Review Board, the Mayor nominates and the City Council appoints. There were four
vacancies on the Historic Review Board. Five applications were received, and four applicants were
interviewed by the Mayor and Planning Commission President. Of the four persons interviewed, only three
were appointed to fill vacancies; Mayor Piercy and staff to the Historic Review Board recommend
reappointing Richard Danemiller to fill the last remaining vacancy.
