Mr. Rankin meets the requirements for commission membership <br />as outlined by the Certified Local Government (CLG) program; he resides within Orange <br />County's planning jurisdiction and has relevant education and experience. HPC members <br />and Historic Preservation staff have been in contact with Mr. Rankin and he is interested in <br />serving on the commission. <br />Only one other candidate for the Orange County Historic Preservation Commission, Michelle <br />Kempinski, meets the CLG requirements. Ms. Kempinski is currently serving on the <br />Commission for the Environment, the Planning Board and the Efland Small Planning Area <br />Taskforce. <br />Please convey this to the Board of County Commissioners for their consideration in early <br />2006. Mr. Rankin would fill the seat of Jack Bernhardt, who resigned in November due to <br />other commitments. Mr. Rankin's knowledge in architectural history and archaeology will <br />lead to a more well-rounded preservation board and will serve as a logical replacement for <br />Mr. Berhardt whose expertise was also in archaeology.
