Agenda; Minutes review. Meeting was called to order by Vice Chair Zonja
Matushenko at 7:05pm. Upon reviewing the agenda, we decided to add a sixth
item: Archiving of Commission materials. Minutes of the last meeting were
approved.
Park Signs
Jessica announces that the City Council approved the eleven park signs which
have been prepared. Another two signs need to be prepared: The Lefebvre Creek
sign and one of the original Otsego main street. Toni is working on that.
Festival Project
We favor highlighting the Park Signs in their debut. We will use the large scale
Map of Otsego in our office, adding the parks where they exist on the map and
Extending a string to a board which shows the inscriptions of each Park sign.
We will also have a large you are here sign with a big replica Pin at our booth.
Corey suggested we may wish to either work with the Parks and Recs or suggest
to them that they have a T-shirt build your own with an Otsego theme, name on
back like soccer teams often have. Jessica will contact her supplier and inquire
and talk with Ross about the idea of clothing.
Archiving
We discussed that we need a method by which to archive our collection of
materials. We will table a discussion on archiving until Toni is present since she
has some ideas about a system that would be most efficient. We might want to
schedule times for us all to work on this together or set up individual sessions if
joint sessions don’t work. Article for next newsletter needs to be chosen and
executed.
Meeting adjourned at 8pm.
Gail Anderson, Recorder
