l-:leritagePresetv'iltionComrni>:sion April 3, 2007 Page 4 Rebecca discussed putting together a power point presentation for Chair Lindberg's presentation. She will work on one for him. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER NADEAU-PETERSON AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CHRISTIAANSEN TO ADOPT THE POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS WITH MINOR CHANGES AS DISCUSSED. ALL IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED. 6. Archaeologjcal Dig- Dr. Rothaus has chosen the weekends of June 28 - 30d1 and July 5 - 7th. Rebecca stated that the July weekend would not work (too many people gone for the fourth of July). Discussion followed that the month may need to be changed. Rebecca informed the commission that Dr. Rothaus wants to do some in depth studies (i.e. ground penetrating radar) so the costs are higher than before. The City has given $10,000 to go forward with the dig and SCSU will match again. The weekends listed were best for Rothaus and J oe McFarland. Discussion followed that residents may need to be charged to participate. Food costs were discussed and more money could be requested from the City Council. Dr. Rothaus is checking with Joe about what weekends work best. Only offering the dig for one weekend was also discussed. A comment was made that this is the only non-project driven archaeological dig being conducted right now. 7. Other Commissioner Nadeau-Peterson discussed that the National Preservation Conference is going to be held in the Twin Cities this year from October 2 - 6. Scholarships are available through MHS (MN Historical Society) and the Council pays for two people to attend. If interested in attending, please let Rebecca know. Commissioner Nadeau-Peterson discussed the Preservation Leadership Training being held in Owatonna from June 23 - 30. She commented that perhaps Chair Lindberg would like to go. Commissioner Rohlf questioned whether the Economic Development staff might go. Coucilman Farber expressed his opinion that Commissioner Rohlfs suggestion was a great idea. A comment was made that with the National Conference coming to 11N, a statewide event will likely be held as a one day only event. It will most likely happen in June. More information will be forthcoming as it is received. 8.
