Access to the Speaker's Bureau at SHPO may offer some opportunities. In addition the

contact them for a presentation as well as any contacts for Commission members. Further
consideration will be given to this item for fall presentations.
D. Rooster—Commissioner Nickel: Nickel has further researched this item and has a file
for Design Review. He plans to submit back to the City around the first of June. The group
will tour Merrill Park next month to consider different locations for the rooster. Director
Mike Aho was invited to attend as well.
E. Heritage Conference—September 23-25, 2015: Stafford, Culton and Nickel are all
planning on going. The grant will pay for registration and travel expenses. The Commission
may want to rent a vehicle and all travel together rather than fly. Funds left over from the
grant might be able to be used for more signage for the walking tour. Nickel will check into
that option and the travel arrangements.
F. Walking Tour/May Historic Preservation Month—Commissioner Stafford: Stafford
reported that May Historic Preservation Month is a national occurrence and there has been no
media coverage at all. The new walking tour brochures she just picked up should help get
that information out. She has distributed them to various locations and has a stack for the
museum. She chose the current format to allow for additional sites in the future to be added.
The brochures look great.
