Responsibilities:
The Matthews Historic Preservation Advisory Committee focuses on the preservation of properties and artifacts, education of the community, and partnerships with municipal and civic organizations, including the Matthews Historical Foundation and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission, to advance the cause of historic preservation.
The Committee is composed of twelve members appointed by the
Matthews Board of Commissioners, three of whom are board members of the Matthews
Historical Foundation. A member does not necessarily have to be a resident of the
Town of Matthews. A staff member acts as liaison to the Committee.
Meetings of the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee are held on the
third Wednesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall. All meetings are open to the
public and conform to the North Carolina Open Meetings Law.
Members of the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee serve
two-year terms, without a limit on the number of terms a member may serve.
Any member, who shall fail to attend at least 75% of the regular and
special meetings during any one-year period, may be removed. The Chairperson shall
notify the Matthews Town Board of Commissioners of any member who shall so fail to
attend. The vacancy can be filled, upon recommendation of the Committee liaison and
Chairperson, by the Matthews Town Board of Commissioners.
