Historical Commission <br />Minutes <br />July 6, 2016 <br />Page 3 <br />Meeting attendees noted that the Citizen Survey results showed that there <br />is a need to educate the community on what the Museum does for <br />Louisville. The Commission discussed how the results showed that 9 <br />respondents in 10 awarded high marks to Historical Museum programs and <br />the overall performance of the Museum, but also show that just 3% of <br />respondents indicated that expanding the Museum should be considered <br />one of the top three issues for the City to invest in for the future. 53% of <br />respondents indicated that expanding the Museum is at least "somewhat <br />important." <br />The Commission also discussed the results from another recent survey <br />showing that a majority of respondents supported the extension of the <br />Historic Preservation Tax and to have a portion go to the Museum. <br />D. Update on process to have the Museum campus surveyed and apply for <br />funding for Historic Structure Assessments on the Museum buildings: <br />Bridget reported that she is arranging for a surveying firm to survey the <br />Museum campus, which has not previously been done, and that the <br />Planning Dept. is funding the survey. Also, the City is applying for funding <br />for Historic Structure Assessments on the Museum buildings at an HPC <br />meeting in August. <br />E. Upcoming dates important to the Commission and Museum: <br />Upcoming dates important to the Commission are the City Council meeting <br />on the 12th to discuss the results of the Citizens Survey, and the joint <br />meeting with the Historic Preservation Commission on August 3rd <br />IX.
