ST. GEORGE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION

St. George, Utah

HISTORY

The St. George Historic Preservation Commission was established on April 15, 1999 by adoption of Ordinance 4-4-1999. Its duties are defined in Title 10, Chapter 24 of the St. George City Code.


ORGANIZATION

The St. George Historic Preservation Commission consists of seven members who are residents of St. George. They are appointed to staggered four-year term by the mayor of St. George. At least two members of the commission are from the professions of history, architecture, architectural history, archaeology, planning, urban planning, American studies, American civilization, cultural geography or cultural anthropology.

Officers are selected by the commissioners who also establish rules for conduct of the commission. Meetings are held at least twice a year and are open to the public. All resolutions, proceedings and actions are documente in minutes which are available for public inspection.

The Commission helps determine if a building is eligible to be a city landmark site. It also helps preserves landmark sites and historic buildings by making recommendations on what could be done to a structure to fit the owner's needs rather than demolishing it.
