OTSEGO HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MINUTES— MARCH 12, 2019
Present: Chris Wilson, Gail Anderson, Cara Husak, Mayor Jessica Stockamp, Councilman Corey
Tanner; Guests: Bob Lefebvre, Dan Lefebvre, Mark Lefebvre, and Nancy Lefebvre Fordahl.
1. Discussion with Lefebvre family re Lefebvre Creek Park/Greenway. We clarified ownership
of the land and ancestry of the family landowners for this park. Mark Lefebvre brought a well-
written summary of the land history and the family's intentions of good land stewardship. They
also brought another picture of the family home from 1946 and a copy of a 1916 plat map.
OHPC will combine this information with other pictures of this family line to create the park
sign. That information will then be given to Dan Licht who will consult with the city's graphic
designer to put together a mock up of the park sign. We agreed to let the family review that
mock up.
2. Minutes from 1/18/2019 OHPC were approved without changes.
3. New officers were elected for 2019:
Chair—Toni Seroshek
Vice -Chair — Chris Wilson
Secretary —Cara Husak
Chocolatier — Chris Wilson
4. Discussion of options for Otsego history inclusions in the Otsego View and perhaps on the
city website. Tami Loff had sent examples from Corcoran and Eden Prairie. We reviewed those
as possible options for us. The Corcoran example was an actual narrative or history of the area
that was available on a tab at that city's website. The Eden Prairie example was a shorter
snippet of history that could be placed, in our case, in the Otsego View when there was a little
space available. We would still periodically have larger articles in the View. Commissioners
seemed to like the ideas though no assignments were made. Cara also discussed recording
interviews of Otsego residents that could be part of a pod cast, maybe again being available on
the city website. We would need to evaluate legalities and Jessica said she would mention it at
an admin meeting. OHPC has some taped interviews that the original OHPC recorded as well.
5. Meeting adjourned
