Mr. Carlson asked the Commissioners to put together some ideas on what to present. Ms. Moss asked if the Commission could discuss the historic ditch interpretative plaque project. She asked how and when the Commission should follow-up with UDOT regarding the monument design. Mr. Carlson noted that the Commission had approved the plaque content.

The Town would review the responses to the RFP and choose a consultant to conduct the Intensive Level Surveys (ILS). Ms. Carlson encouraged the Commissioners to familiarize themselves with the next steps in the process for the property owners, which, she explained, would potentially be a nomination to be accepted into the National Registry. Mr. Burns asked if there was funding for both the ILS and any nominations that would come from the survey: Ms. Carlson responded that so far there would be funding provided by UDOT to complete the ILS. She suggested that the Commission s budget for the next fiscal year could potentially be tapped for any additional funding needed for the nomination process.

2 Update on Canyon Ranch Property as a Town Museum: Mr. Carlson said that he had still not received word from Mr. Ence regarding the possibility of the Town to use the building as a museum. He had requested that the Mayor and Town Manger call and ask for a status update and had not yet heard back. Discussion on offer of Native American historic display items from Majestic View Lodge: Mr. Carlson had received a call from Sam Patel from the Majestic View Lodge who offered to donate items from their current Native American display. Mr. Burns was skeptical that the items would be authentic to southern Paiutes specifically. Mr. Carlson felt it was important for the Commission to promote historic items that were truly authentic. He encouraged the Commissioners to visit the Majestic View evaluate to see if the display would be a good addition to historic items that the Commission hoped to collect over time. Mr. Burns suggested Harriet Callahan as a potential source to help determine the authenticity of historic items. Mr. Carlson offered to reach out to Ms. Callahan and ask if she could view the collection and report back. Project Prioritization: Mr. Carlson reviewed the subjects that had been discussed over the last few months and asked the Commission to prioritize the items and assemble a shortlist of initiatives that could be assigned to specific Commissioners to spearhead. 1) Historic Preservation Commission Logo: Ms. Moss reported that she had spoken to Sandy Bell of Sandy Bell Design and received a bid for a Historic Preservation Commission Logo. Ms. Bell estimated 3 months to produce the logo. Mr. Carlson thought it would be prudent to receive a few mock-ups of the logo before agreeing to move forward. He asked Ms. Moss to spearhead the request. Ms. Moss said that Jordan Hebner was another local graphic artist that she would reach out to for a bid. Ms. Giardina asked what was included in the quote from Sandy Bell. She spoke on the importance of clarity in regards to design standards, particularly sizing, to ensure that the Commission could use the logo in a variety of different applications. Mr. Carlson asked the Commission to list offline what they would like to convey with a logo so they could provide potential graphic artists with clear guidelines. Ms. Hollis mentioned that Ms. Moss was an amazing artist and felt she could come up with a logo quite easily. She also offered to reach out to a relative in Cedar City who had a graphic design background. 2) Mission Statement: Ms. Hollis had crafted a mission statement that Mr. Carlson had forwarded to the Commission prior to the meeting for review (Attachment #1). Ms. Carlson offered to set aside some space in Town hall wherein the Commission could display their logo and mission statement. Ms. Giardina expressed that the mission statement would provide a foundation for the Commission and was therefore a high priority on the list. All members agreed that the mission statement was the top priority for the Commission. 3) Town Museum: Mr. Carlson felt that the outcome of the Canyon Ranch property for use as a Town museum was beyond the Commission s control. He mentioned that in past discussions, the Commission had agreed that regardless of the Ence ownership group s final decision on the use of the building, it would still behoove the Commission to solidify a priority list and diligently work towards the agreed upon initiatives. 4) Folk Life Festival: Mr. Burns sought clarification on whether or not the Commission was going to be solely in charge of organizing the Folk Life Festival or just play a supporting role. Moss reported that the organizers had met and discussed the festival but no assignments had been made or solidified. Approved Minutes of the Historic Preservation Commission October 30, 2017 Page 2
