Historical Commission Minutes May 7, 2014 Page 4 of 4 “The mission of the Louisville Historical Commission is to advise City Council in the development and use of the Louisville Historical Museum and to promote public awareness of the history of Louisville, Colorado and its surrounding community, with an emphasis on the coal-mining era, 1877-1955. The Commission establishes and monitors criteria for the collection, preservation, and display of historical artifacts, documents, and structures by the Louisville Historical Museum.” The current mission statement for the Museum was allowed to continue without revision. There was a consensus that the language in the mission statements relating to the emphasis on Louisville’s mining history period is not exclusionary, and the mission statements can be revisited in the future if need be. XI. Taste of Louisville – June 7, 2014 A. PE and Betty Scarpella will make pizzelles in front of the Museum. B. GLP volunteered to help at the Museum from 10:00AM-12:30 PM and PE volunteered to help following the making of the pizzelles. Others indicated that they would check their schedules. XII. New format for Study Session in September with the City Council The LHC will make its annual presentation on September 9, 2014. The format has been revised to make it “more to the point” and to highlight accomplishments. DM will work on the presentation and this topic will also be on the agenda for the next LHC meeting. GLP offered to copy edit the presentation in July. XIII. Louisville History Foundation (LHF) Update A. Foundation director Marilyn Hunt is working on obtaining estimates to start a Foundation website. The city hosts the website for the LHC, but now the LHF will need its own domain name and website. In addition, the LHF wants to bolster the relationship/connections with Business Sponsors and enable on-line donations. B. The Needs Assessment for the new building on the Museum campus, which the Foundation is helping to fund along with the city, will get done in 2014. XIV. Commission comments & discussion items for the next meeting LHC members are urged to come up with ideas for the LHC float for the Labor Day parade. LK is willing to work on the float, but wants help.
