OLD BUSINESS [ACTION ITEMS]
3. Discuss: Planning for May 2022 Preservation Month Activities: Updates from
P. Jagosh on Sluice Box Demo, Possible Presentation Topics from Owyhee Museum
Director (see Memo), Other Activities (Walking Tour? Social Media Posts?)
P. Jagosh stated she did contact the Farmstead and learned the sluice box demo
that is there is built into the farm so it is not movable.
C. Schiffler encouraged Commissioners to review the memo included in their
meeting packets from the Owyhee Museum Director on possible topics on which
he could present and/or bring a historical school bus to City Hall and that there
would be a $150 cost but the Commission’s budget could be used to pay this fee.
B. Johnston stated this historical bus was used in the past to give historical tours of
properties in Meridian. B. Johnston inquired of C. Schiffler if she knew whether or
not the Owyhee Museum Director is licensed to provide historic tours.
C. Schiffler stated she believed the bus would be a stationary presentation but she
would ask him if he could provide a driving tour.
B. Johnston stated the Commission needs to decide when to hold activities in May
and that he is open to suggestions.
J. Dinger suggested hosting activities the week of May 16th as the week of May 23rd
is close to the end of school/graduations.
P. Jagosh agreed with J. Dinger’s suggestion of hosting activities the week of May
16th.
B. Johnston confirmed the Commission would plan on hosting activities the week
of May 16th.
B. Johnston suggested putting out A-frame signs in front of historic properties that
support the walking tour app and asking for assistance from property owners to
put signs out and take them back in each day during the week of May 16th.
C. Schiffler stated she will ask the Owyhee Museum Director if he is available to
bring the historic school bus and give a presentation during the week of May 16th.
C. Schiffler will also look into what meeting rooms are available in City Hall the
week of May 16th for a presentation.
B. Johnston stated that the most applicable presentation on the Owyhee Museum
Director’s list would likely be the History of the Southwest Idaho Railroads to
compliment the May 2022 Preservation Month theme of the History of Mining in
Idaho.
C. Schiffler stated that the Meridian Parks and Recreation Special Events
Coordinator is including the Historical Walking Tour in the City’s Unplug and Be
Outside list of activities in May but if a Commissioner was available to give a
scheduled tour this could also be listed in the event guide and coincides with
Historic Preservation Month.
4
Item 1.
B. Johnston asked C. Schiffler to confirm with the West Ada School District and
their volunteer group of docents if Pine Street School would be available to tour
during the month of May.
J. Dinger stated he would be interested in helping with walking tours in the future
so requested to be a shadow if B. Johnston gives a tour in May.
C. Schiffer requested that B. Johnston send her his cheat sheet for the Historical
Walking Tour.
B. Johnston confirmed he will look for it and forward it to C. Schiffler if located.
B. Johnston requested C. Schiffler to start posting next month about the activities
scheduled for the week of May 16th.
C. Schiffler requested that a Commissioner send her an outline and/or content for
the desired Historic Preservation Month posts and she would design and post
them.
B. Johnston stated he would provide C. Schiffler post templates/content.
REPORTS [ACTION ITEM]
4. Update: Meridian Speedway Nomination to the National Registry of Historic Places
B. Johnston stated today was the deadline for TAG Historical Research (TAG) to
submit the Meridian Speedway nomination.
C. Schiffer stated she confirmed yesterday with TAG that the nomination would be
submitted today.
B. Johnston stated the State Historic Preservation Office will discuss the
nomination in June and then a final decision will be rendered at the national level
this Fall.
FUTURE MEETING TOPICS / DISCUSSION
5. Discuss: Next Project for the Virtual Historical Walking Tour
B. Johnston brought up the possibility of adding the Ridenbaugh Canal to the Tour
Buddy tour app based on Karen Brewer’s presentation at last month’s Commission
meeting and that K. Brewer offered to pay for adding the canal to the app if this
was feasible.
B. Nary stated he wasn’t aware of a way for a private citizen to pay for something
the Commission elected to do and was not sure if there would even be a cost
associated with adding something to the app.
B. Johnston stated he would confirm with Josh Evarts how adding material to the
Tour Buddy app works and then the Commission could discuss this more next
month.
C. Schiffler inquired as to the difference between the Tour Buddy app walking tour
and the online walking tour Brian Hull was contracted to do.
5
Item 1.
B. Johnston stated the addition of the Ridenbaugh Canal could be for either
walking tour and K. Brewer should be consulted to see what her thoughts are on
this.
