April 22 marked the changing of the guard at the Historic Landmark Commission. Although Emily Hibbs, Matt Jacob and Terri Myers were absent, officer elections took place per the requirements set forth in the commission’s bylaws. Both Myers and Emily Reed were nominated for the position of chair in a unanimous vote. Commissioner Reed took the seat and now presides over the body, and Commissioner Beth Valenzuela was voted into the position of vice chair without any contest or contention.
