Minutes - 2004 - Historic Preservation Commission - 09/01/2004 - Regular
The Eagle Historic Preservation Commission
MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF: September 1, 2004
Lois Kunkler brought the meeting to order.
Commission members present at the meeting were: Diane Scott, Lois
Kunkler, and Terry Steach.
Terry Steach approved the minutes of the last meeting.
Diane Scott reported that the telephone had been installed. A new
telephone had been purchased and a recording was made on the
answering machine.
We need to make mention of a telephone meeting held to vote on the
purchase of the very old May tag washing machine in the amount of
$300. Everyone was reached and it was approved. Weldon Fisher and
Diane Scott went to Caldwell to pick up the machine. We also
purchased a small wood cook stove for $25 from the same place.
We decided to table the discussion on the Museum Software and
AASLA Membership until all members could be present.
Diane Scott reported that she has taken histories from Weldon Fisher,
Lois Kunkler, Thelma Taylor, Ray Lewis, Jerry Potter, and Betsy
Marshall most are cooperative in using the camera. Everyone has
provided photographs of their family, which have been scanned into the
computer and put on disk. The people that do not want their picture
taken are recorded and transcribed. The camera equipment is working
very well.
One additional piece of equipment and digital video/still software are
needed to enable us to take the raw data and complete the cycle of video
taping histories and then editing and transferring them to DVD. The
Commission approved the purchase of a video capture card for $779.00.
(see attached copy of specs). This card will enable us to input the raw
video to the computer.
The second item that the Commission approved was the purchase of the
Adobe Video Collection for approximately $750.00. This software
package contains programs that will enable us to edit both digital video
and digital photographs and ultimately produce a professional DVD.
We plan to purchase the above and submit receipts for reimbursement.
The discussion of the photos of Old Barns was tabled for next meeting
because Weldon was not here to give us an update.
We discussed our plans for a new group of exhibits for the museum.
We plan to build a barn display out of old barn wood. This will look
similar to the Blacksmith Shop in design. It will be on the opposite side
of the room from the Blacksmith displa)r. We plan to show dairy on one
side and a chicken coop on the other. Along with the barn we plan to
build a small "Prune Shed" next to the barn. We plan to display stories
and photos about the Prune Shed and have wooden boxes to represent
the way it would have been. This project will be planned for the winter
time. We voted on going ahead with these plans and looking into
someone to do the construction. We will present the costs for this
project after we find someone to build. The main costs should just be
labor. We have two sources for barn wood that will be free.
Lois moved to adjourn and Terry seconded. Meeting adjourned.
