Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting <br />Elk River City Hall <br />January 19, 2017 <br />Commissioner Jordan questioned if our state or county representative is on board <br />with the water tower project in order to bring more voices to the table. Mr. Carlton <br />stated the project is dependent on dedicated capital funds by the legislature. Both <br />would be good resources to inform them on the progress being made. <br />5.2 Historic Walking Tour Webpage <br />Ms. Simon provided an overview of the webpage created for the History Walking <br />Tour. Content from each of the four walking tour brochures created by students at <br />St. Cloud State University and comments from Commission members was compiled <br />and assembled into an interactive online format. <br />Staff asked Commission members to review and provide content on functionality, <br />content, pictures and anything else that may be beneficial. The following comments <br />were provided during the meeting: <br />• Provide a dropdown menu of locations or next button to move between <br />locations. <br />• Have locations on walking tour navigable with a next button then add a <br />"Notable Places in Elk River" section. <br />• Add walking distances between locations. <br />• Would like to see the app provide verbal content as well. <br />• Commissioner Mortensen will provide content for Kemper Drug. <br />Staff also showed drone footage of the water tower and River Park Commons. <br />Commission members stated they would like to see drone footage before and over <br />the painting of the water tour. <br />5.3 Salk Middle School History Fair <br />Ms. Simon provided an overview of the Salk Middle School History Fair and <br />expectations of volunteers. A signup sheet to volunteer to help judge the fair was <br />distributed to Commission Members. Ms. Simon also stated there seem to be <br />additional opportunities to partner with Salk Middle School in other future if <br />interested. <br />5.4 2016 HPC Annual Report <br />Mr. Carlton summarized the contents documented in the 2016 HPC Annual Report. <br />No questions or comments were presented after reviewing the materials. <br />Moved by Commissioner Lindberg and seconded by Commissioner <br />Mortensen to approve the 2016 HPC Annual Report. <br />Motion carried 3-0. <br />
