I strongly support Catherine Johnson's appointment to the HB Historic Resources Board.
Besides being native to HB, she has a brilliant mind, loves history and her hometown and would be a wonderful addition to the Board.

RE: Consent Calendar Agenda Item 12, 22-485 - Proposed appointments to Historic Resources Board The Consent Calendar on June 7, 2022 (Agenda Item 12 22-485) includes proposed appointments to the Historic Resources Board (HRB).
I am asking the City Council to postpone action on these appointments and consider the long-standing practice and recommendation from the (HRB) to perform their review regarding qualifications and provide their informed input regarding potential candidates to that board. There are credentialed historians on the HRB and professional standards and practices developed over many years of improvements that they wish to uphold.
HRB member Amory Hansen provided supplemental communications to the city council (in your agenda packet) about the HRB's procedural review of candidates' applications and interview process to determine qualifications. This public appointee participation is being ignored by placing this on the June 7 agenda. I question why an HRB review process that has been in place for eight (8) years has been changed without notice. At whose direction is this transparent process being changed over the protest of HRB members?
I also note that as of June 4, 2022, the City of Huntington Beach has already posted on the City website the names of these individuals (Catherine Johnson, Austin Edsell) as appointees to the HRB as a "done deal" prior to the City Council taking formal action on the June 7 agenda item (See Attachment embedded with this letter).
It is not urgent to immediately fill these positions and there is no reason to disregard the HRB review, which has been an 8-year practice. Again, I urge the City Council to postpone this action and allow the HRB to conduct their normal and historically precedented review of candidates.

Subject: City Council Meeting 6/7/22 Comments
The following is for Public Comments for the City Council Meeting scheduled 6/7/22 Agneda Item 14: (22-486) Rodgers site naming to 17th Street Park Huntington Beach City Council:
I would like to support the compromise as proposed on the naming of the former Rodgers Senior Center Site to use the historic name of "17h Street Park" and recognize Michael E Rodgers by naming the building on the property after him.
I just want to emphasize that the building on the property was approved as a community building that can also serve as the American Legion Post. The building was not approved as a Veteran Hall or solely as the Legion Post. Naming of the building after the Legion or Veterans would convey that it is only to be used by those organizations. The building was approved as a community facility that can be utilized by all of Huntington Beach.
I would also support naming some part of the new senior center after Michael E Rodgers. His support of Seniors is his legacy. With the City Council approval tonight to the proposed naming will be the final approval needed to complete the journey from the old Senior Center to parkland! Looking forward to the park opening! Agenda Item 12: )22-485) Historic Resource Board
I would like to support the appointment of Catherine Johnson to the Huntington Beach Historical Resources Board (HRB). Catherine was instrumental in the support and research on the history of 17t Street Park through the years. She would be an asset to the HRB
Sincerely SUPPLEMENTAL
