The Clark County Historic Preservation Commission is a joint city/county commission. Five members are appointed by Clark County Board of Councilors and two members are appointed by Vancouver City Council.

The seven-member citizen advisory body is responsible for:

• reviewing nominations to the National Register of Historic Places

• reviewing nominations and designating properties to the Clark County Heritage Register

• conducting design review for changes to buildings and sites on the local register

• deciding on applications for the Special Valuation Tax Incentive for historic properties

• overseeing education and outreach efforts

Council Committee 2 recently reviewed applications for this commission, and the nomination letter from the sitting commissioners. They recommend accepting the commissioner's nomination by appointing Heidi Mandler-Huff. That appointment would begin immediately and expire June 30, 2023.
