city citizens and who shall be appointed by the city council. The
term of office of each committee position shall be two (2) years calculated
on a calendar year basis, except for the initial members, whose terms

council. The members of the historic preservation committee shall
not be entitled to compensation for their service on the committee.
The committee, at its first meeting in each calendar year, shall from
its members, select a president, vice-president, and secretary to
