Heritage Preservation Commission Minutes <br />March 21, 2024 <br />6.1 HPC at the Farmer's Market <br />Page 2 <br />Mr. Carlton stated Karen with Parks and Recreation has proposed either June 20 or August 29 for the HPC <br />to attend the Farmers Market. There were September dates available as well. It was the consensus of the <br />HPC to choose June 20 as the date to participate in a booth at the market. Mr. Carlton will email last year's <br />list of questions to the HPC members to review and rate as easy, medium, and hard, and he will also ensure <br />that the HPC posters have the QR code on them to direct folks to either the documentary or history <br />minutes on the city's website. He stated they will also have the Plinko board and candy. Commissioner <br />Campbell suggested having a list for people to sign up to volunteer to provide an oral history. <br />Commissioner Mauren suggested having the history video also playing in their booth. Mr. Carlton stated <br />they will finalize any last-minute details at the May HPC meeting. <br />6.2 Other Business <br />Chair Lindberg asked if any of the commissioners had read the oral histories. <br />Commissioner Mauren stated he does not know where to access the histories. Chair Lindberg stated he <br />could email them out to anyone interested. He stated he has read them all and noted it might be helpful to <br />read them in order to properly condense them. He stated some of them are life stories and was not sure <br />how to condense parts of them into highlights. <br />Mr. Carlton asked when people sign the waiver, what does that allow the HPC to do. He wondered if it <br />allowed the right to compile parts of the stories into a book. <br />Chair Lindberg stated he understood the waiver allowed the city and the Sherburne History Center to use <br />the interview any way they wish. He stated some are more detailed than others and included different <br />content about their lives, families and employment, and their interests. He thought he had about 20 histories <br />of various lengths. <br />Commissioner Mauren felt it would be more engaging for viewers to produce an audio file to be placed over <br />photos to create a video element rather than written words. He felt smaller bits of audio with historical <br />photos would be a better way of distributing these history stories. <br />Chair Lindberg stated most of the interviews are recorded audio. <br />Mr. Carlton stated he would think Steve Rohlf would be a good interviewee. <br />Chair Lindberg agreed, along with Steve's siblings. <br />Mr. Carlton stated Chair Lindberg should email him and he would email out the transcripts. <br />Commissioner Campbell wondered if any of the interviewees were veterans as there was a Veterans History <br />Project by the Library of Congress. She wondered if there was a way to access the stories in the Library of <br />Congress. Chair Lindberg stated he knew of several, one being Jack Bade who was a veteran that grew up in <br />Elk River and served as a fighter pilot in WWII. <br />1 <br />I`rIATURE <br />
