Former Commission <br />member Jennifer Strand was also present. <br />Also Present: Beth Barrett, Director of Library & Museum Services, and Bridget Bacon, <br />Museum Coordinator <br />The attendees met regarding the Historical Commission’s decision in April to pursue the <br />creation of a separate foundation. At a past subcommittee meeting, the subcommittee <br />members signed up to collect information about specific other city museum foundations in the <br />area and how they operate. <br />This subcommittee will be making recommendations for setting up the separate organization. <br />At this meeting, the attendees followed up on last month’s subcommittee meeting by <br />continuing to discuss possible provisions for the bylaws of the foundation board. <br />The attendees also considered whether to work towards a deadline, based on the legal and <br />logistical steps that still need to be accomplished. In connection with figuring out the timeline, <br />Bridget stated that she will soon write to the city attorney regarding some of the necessary <br />steps relating to filings with the state and the IRS and regarding the drafting of amended <br />bylaws for the Historical Commission, which will be needed in addition to foundation bylaws. <br />The attendees also discussed other steps in the process towards creating a separate <br />foundation. <br />Indirectly related to the creation of a foundation, subcommittee members expressed that they <br />would like to promote the idea of Louisville citizens making a bequest in their wills/estate plans <br />for the Museum. <br />th <br />The group decided to next meet on Friday, March 15 at 10:30 AM. The attendees plan to <br />continue to discuss bylaws provisions and how they would like to see the foundation board <br />structured, as well as other steps in the process. <br />City of Louisville <br />Louisville Historical Museum <br />749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 <br />303-665-9048 (phone) 303-335-4550 (fax) www.louisvilleco.gov <br /> <br />
