Mayor Andy Reiter recommended the appointment of two applicants to fill two openings on the Lacey Historic Commission. David Shipley introduced himself, described lengthy service on other local historic bodies and said he looks forward to preserving and educating the community about Lacey history. Gary Montgomery described a background that includes archaeology and training with the National Park Service historic-preservation training center and said he wants to serve the Lacey community.

The mayor noted both applicants qualify for positions reserved for preservation experts. A motion to appoint Shipley and Montgomery to first terms on the Historic Commission was moved, seconded and adopted unanimously.
