Mission
In May 2006, we formed the Citizens Emergency Committee to Preserve
Preservation to focus attention on our city’s landmark emergency and to
implement a campaign to aggressively address the three causes behind
it. The Campaign will:
- Ensure Fairness: LPC needs new procedures to improve openness and
responsiveness to the public. No more deals behind closed doors!
- Reestablish Commission Independence: Landmarks commissioners
should be properly qualified when they are appointed to the job. Once
appointed, they should be free to make the decisions that they think
are right.
- Secure Appropriate Resources: the LPC needs more staff and
funding to meet the mandates spelled out in the Landmarks Law.
