Historic Preservation Review Board Patrick Williams Confirmation Resolution of 2025

This is a procedural confirmation resolution, not a substantive legislative bill. It formally asks the Council of the District of Columbia to confirm Mayor Bowser's reappointment of Patrick Williams as an architect member of the Historic Preservation Review Board for a term ending July 21, 2028. The resolution cites the relevant legal authority (Historic Landmark and Historic Protection Act of 1978) and includes Williams' professional background as an architect. It does not create new policy or affect residents or businesses beyond the confirmation process itself.

MINOR

The document was converted from a Mayor's nomination letter to an official Council resolution, changing the format from a request for confirmation to a formal legislative act. The resolution text was updated with corrected legal citations and a new resolution number, while the attached biography was slightly edited to improve clarity. These changes formalize the appointment process and ensure the legal text is accurate.

TECHNICAL

The document type changed from a nomination letter to a formal resolution, adding a resolution number (26-119) and correcting the citation of the Mayor's Order from 'OCR' to 'DCR'.

The resolution text was restructured to match standard legislative formatting, including the placement of the resolution title and section headers.

Minor edits were made to the nominee's biography to correct typos and improve the flow of the employment history description.
