Interviews with residents who applied to serve on Town Boards and Commissions were held during the Special Council Meeting on May 11, 2021, and recommended appointments were ratified on May 18 and June 1, 2021. The Design Review Board is comprised of two representatives each from the Downtown Development Authority and Historic Preservation Board, and one representative from the Planning Commission, as well as two downtown property owners.
Based on unanimous vote by the Historic Preservation Board, the following appointments to the Design Review Board are recommended as Historic Preservation Board Representatives:
• Mike Borgelt
• Annamarie Engelhard
Based on unanimous vote by the Downtown Development Authority, the following appointments to the Design Review Board are recommended as DDA Representatives:
• Stuart Butler (reappointment)

The Downtown Development Authority Board Interview Subcommittee recommends that Town Council reappoint John Manka and Nick Hier to fill the two vacancies on the DDA Board. These vacancies were publicly noticed, posted on the DDA website and announced at the DDA Board meeting in June.
