Dick DelPizzo – items from the DelPizzo family relating to Louisville, including a Rex <br />Theatre movie schedule <br />B. Advice sought on donations of other artifacts being offered: <br />Bridget informed the Commission of discussions with the DelPizzo family about <br />possibly moving the beehive-shaped ash pit located behind the house at 1133 <br />Main. It is believed to be the last one of its kind in the Louisville area. Dick <br />DelPizzo has expressed a willingness for it to be moved to the Museum campus. <br />Bridget noted that it would not technically be part of the Museum collection, but <br />by having it on the campus itself, it could be preserved and could be part of what <br />is discussed with visitors in terms of what daily life in Louisville was like. Bridget <br />asked the Commission members’ thoughts on Sharon and Bridget pursuing this. <br />Commission members stated that they do like this idea and they recommended <br />that Sharon and Bridget seek advice from the City’s Facilities Manager and from <br />other City staff on how it might be moved. <br />C. Museum Coordinator’s written report: In addition to her written report, Bridget <br />informed the Commission that tickets to the production our “Our Town” are now <br />on sale, the Museum is preparing to launch an Instagram account in August, and <br />Bridget is working with the Oral History Intern to make some of the older oral <br />history interviews that were done on audiotape in the 1970s and 1980s available <br />to the public. <br />D. Update on informal survey conducted for the City in June 2019 to solicit <br />feedback on Museum services and programs: The Commission reviewed the <br />results and comments from the City’s informal survey about the Museum. These <br />were part of the meeting packet for the meeting. <br />E. Takeaways from recent training provided by the City for Board & Commission <br />staff liaisons: Bridget and Sharon recently attended City training for staff liaisons <br />to boards and commissions, and shared the information with the Commission on <br />aspects of Commission functions such as taking of meeting minutes, public <br />comments, work plans, and communication with the Commission. <br />VII.
