Background Information:
The Pinellas County Historical Commission advises on matters pertaining to Heritage Village and prospective historical objects, facilities, and records to be displayed at Heritage Village.
This board consists of nine members. Seven members are nominated by the individual members of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) and appointed jointly by the BCC. One member is appointed by the Junior League of Clearwater/Dunedin and one member is appointed by the Pinellas County Historical Commission. The seven members appointed by the BCC serve terms concurrent with that of their nominating commissioner (typically four years). The two members appointed by the Junior League and Historical Commission serve four-year terms starting upon the actual date of appointment. All members serve at the pleasure of their respective appointer, be it the BCC, Junior League, or Historical Society, and may be removed by same at any time. Should a vacancy in membership arise for any reason, a new member shall be nominated and appointed by the same authority that appointed the vacated member to fulfill the remainder of the vacated member’s term. There is no limitation on the number of terms any of the nine members may serve.
