Historical Commission <br />Minutes <br />May 15, 2019 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />No advice sought <br />C. Museum Coordinator's written report: <br />In addition to her written report, Bridget informed the Commission about the <br />Movie Night on June 1st at the old Sam's Club Parking lot. Two hours before the <br />event, there will be informational booths from the City. The Museum will have a <br />table set up about phones and has activities for kids. The Taste of Louisville is also <br />on the 1st and Bridget asked the Commission for volunteers to be at the Museum <br />during the event. Also, with the two new Museum employees Bridget's office will <br />now be in the Jordinelli House, and they are in the process of interviewing for a <br />new oral history intern. <br />D. Updates relating to Museum campus plans and operational funding: <br />The work on the Tomeo House basement that was delayed due to the <br />retirement of the previous Facilities Manager and hiring of a new one is <br />now starting up again. The new Facilities Manager is following up and <br />starting to get a RFP for proposals from contractors to do the work. The <br />operational funding for the Museum this year and next will be about the <br />same until the new two year budget cycle. <br />VII. Report from Sharon Nemechek, Director of Library & Museum Services: <br />Update on group working on exploring funding options for Museum building <br />addition: <br />Sharon reported that the working group visited the Longmont Museum and <br />learned how that museum worked on its capital campaign. They had a Planning <br />Committee and Steering Committee that were separate entities from the 501c3 <br />group. Also, for most capital campaigns there is usually one big donor, which helps <br />for others to contribute to the campaign. The group is also planning to look at <br />another area museum about how it handled its project. The working group <br />decided to get the fundraising committee from the Louisville History Foundation <br />together with the working group to come up with the talking points that the City <br />staff, Commission, Museum volunteers, and Foundation should all use, for <br />consistency. <br />VIII.
