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.

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.

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.
