Creation of Cultural Heritage Panel Urged
Two Ventura County supervisors want to establish a countywide cultural heritage board to advise local officials on historical preservation.
Supervisors Maria VanderKolk and Vicky Howard are calling for county and city leaders to set up the panel to oversee efforts to maintain historical landmarks.
“There is a tendency for some communities to think (preservation) is not important at all,” Howard said. “I think this will be a help.”
Howard and VanderKolk will present their ideas to the Board of Supervisors Tuesday as part of a study they conducted on the county’s citizen committees.
If approved by the supervisors, the recommendation will be sent to the Ventura County Council of Governments for consideration.
