Item 2.
part of their mitigation process. The Corporation is looking to partner with the
Commission on content for the signs. A. Belnap asked for Commission feedback in
participation on this project through funding and content creation. B. Johnston
pointed out that grant funds would not be able to be used for this project, however
the grant funding will free up other commission funding to use for this project. B.
Johnston also stated he thought it was a good option. J. Nary mentioned that the
title on the drafted sign is from Lila Hill’s research and requested that Lila get
recognition for that. A. Belnap will report back on any progress on the project.
REPORTS [ACTION ITEM]
4. Report: State Historic Preservation Office's Evaluation and Feedback of the
Commission's Certified Local Government Status
B. Johnston reported that the Commission’s Certified Local Government Status was
renewed with the State Historic Preservation Office with some recommendations.
Those recommendations included doing an intensive survey of North Main Street
and to ensure that the Commission is attending conferences.
5. Report: History Competition for Students
D. Hart provided a report on the History Competition and what could be done
better next year, including reaching out to groups and parties outside of West Ada
School District. J. Nary informed the Commission that the last time they did the
competition, J. Nary and Hillary Blackstone went to all WASD schools and did
presentations. J. Nary also suggested that working with PTAs might be more
effective. J. Ault suggested starting earlier, like two months in advance.
6. Report: Preservation Month Scavenger Hunt
J. Nary reported that the participation was not as high as she hoped- there were 14
individuals participated in the Scavenger Hunt and those that participated enjoyed
it. She suggested this probably had to do with the Commission’s lack of posting in
the last year and things could improve in future years as there is regular content
and relationships are built with the City. A. Belnap noted that she has only given
away 3 gift cards due to lack of response by selected winners.
7. Update: Social Media Efforts for June
J. Nary informed the Commission that she will be creating the June calendar,
highlighting Dairy Days. A. Belnap noted that the creation of calendars will be
spread to other commissioners since J. Nary will be leaving soon. J. Nary stated she
would be happy to share resources and knowledge.
