<br />Historical Commission <br />Minutes <br />June 16, 2010 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br />The Commission approved the Treasurer's report. <br /> <br />VII. Report from the Director of Library & Museum Services: <br /> <br />Lafayette Miners Museum - Beth Barrett gave an update regarding the Lafayette Miners <br />Museum. She noted that the Lafayette Museum differs from Louisville's in that the <br />collections are owned by a private organization, the Lafayette Historical Society, and there <br />had been concerns about finding leadership for the organization. The Society recently <br />elected new officers and it appears that the organization will be able to continue. Diane <br />Marino also volunteered information relating to the current status of the Lafayette <br />Historical Society. <br /> <br />City of Louisville 2011 Budget - Beth Barrett reported that it appears that the City will have <br />level budgeting for 2011. There will likely be no new programs, no new staffing, and no <br />large projects in the budget. The City Council is considering placing a use tax on the <br />ballot. <br /> <br />Louisville Public Library news - The summer reading program at the Library has gotten off <br />to a good start. <br /> <br />VIII. Museum Coordinator's Report <br /> <br />A. Deeds of Gifts - Bridget Bacon presented four Deeds of Gifts. After discussion, it was <br />moved, seconded, and carried to accept the following items: <br />1. Monarch High School- 2010 yearbook <br />2. JoBelle Fischer Orvis - items from the Fischer family consisting of a hand plow, <br />knife, fork, and meat tenderizer <br />3. Aline Steinbaugh - four historical photos <br />4. Mark Zaremba - 1967 schedule for Jefferson County midget football league, in <br />which Louisville participated <br /> <br />Bridget Bacon noted that some larger items were recently offered, but she declined to <br />ask the potential donors sign Deeds of Gift because of the Museum's limited collection <br />storage space. <br /> <br />B. Former Historical Commission member Bob Enrietto has donated $300 to the <br />Commission. The Museum was very busy during the Taste of Louisville open house, <br />with about 110 visitors. <br /> <br />C. Superior is hosting a meeting with area historical organizations on Saturday, August 7 <br />at the Superior Town Hall, to be followed by a tour of the new Superior Historical <br />Museum. All Historical Commission members are invited. Bridget stated that she will <br />bring this to the Commission's attention again at the July meeting. <br /> <br />D. Shelley Angell of the Chamber of Commerce contacted Bridget about wanting to do a <br />silent auction during the Fall Festival. The Commission will not be doing a silent <br />auction during the Fall Festival and has no objections to the Chamber organizing one, <br />and members expressed that they would be willing to let the Chamber borrow <br />clipboards and potentially lend other assistance. Sally Burlingame asked that Shelley <br />Angell get in touch with her regarding the Chamber's auction. <br /> <br />IX. Review - Historical Commission Study Session with City Council <br />
