7. Reports
a. Heritage Resource Interpretation Plan-update
Consultant Vogel stated that his group will ultimately write the plan. Part of the discussion
should focus on historical markers and if we want them where they should go and what they
should look like. Additionally,technology has changed and a discussion needs to happen on
how that will be incorporated. The work will take place this summer. These types of plans lend
themselves to tourism,which the City should begin to think about.

April 29th to go over the upcoming Preservation month items.

a. Commissioner Mohlis inquired about the interpretation plan and where the potential
plaques/markers could go. Consultant Vogel stated that is one of the areas that needs to be

{
addressed in the plan. It is easier to put them on areas that the City controls or owns. The
plaques should also be placed in an area where most people are going to see them.
b. Commission McMillen inquired if the Scouts would be interested in attending a Parks and
Recreation Commission meeting,that is if any of the other troop members need to attend a
meeting.
Commissioner McMillen inquired if the Commission would be interested in having a booth at
the Expo next year. Planning Manager Wippler stated that if a Commission member wished to
attend in the coming years that they could certainly share a booth with the Planning Department.
