The Historic Preservation Commission consists of nine members who are appointed by the Village President to serve three-year terms. The Historic Preservation Commission meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 5:00 p.m. Special meetings are scheduled as needed.

The purpose of the Commission is to assist the Village Board in the preservation, protection, enhancement, rehabilitation, reconstruction, or use of historic structures, sites, or areas in the Village, and to educate the residents of the Village regarding the importance of historic preservation.

The Commission reviews and recommends to the Village Board requests for property to be designated as a landmark or the creation of an historic district. The Commission also issues certificates of appropriateness for exterior alterations to building designated as landmarks or located within an historic district.
