Interpretation Plan Update Consultant Vogel provided the Commission a memorandum that outlined what some of the potential discussion items for the upcoming joint meeting with the Park and Recreation Commission should be. The main reason for having the joint meeting is to discuss utilizing the City's parks and open space for heritage interpretation. The Commission should start to talk about what the message is actually going to be,regardless of what the outcome of the joint meeting is. Need to look at traffic counts,where people are coming from. This would be useful information to integrate into the plan itself. The Commission was comfortable with the points of discussion as outlined by Consultant Vogel •I b.

Planning Manager Wippler stated that the prospective church that has been working with the owners of the building to potentially occupy the building had just reached out to the City to provide an update. The deal is still in the works. They are now looking to potentially buy the building outright versus doing a contract for deed. f. Farmers'Market • Commission member Mohlis inquired how the Farmers'Market went this year. Consultant Vogel attended one date this year,he did not attend the second date due to weather. The Commission stills feels it is valuable to have a presence at the Market and that the HPC should continue to pursue it however,one time throughout the season is probably adequate. 6.

The Task Force held its first meeting on October 7,2015. At the beginning of this meeting the consultants(HKGi)gave a presentation that introduced the project team, the proposed schedule for the plan, purpose and goals for the plan, and opportunities for public engagement. For the remainder of the meeting the task force provided input about downtown's current condition,opportunities for improvement,and the development of a shared vision for downtown's future potential. On October 22, 2015 a design charrette was held at City Hall between the consultants and City staff. Through the charrette process and information obtained in the first task force meeting,two concept plans were developed. These concept plans were then shared and discussed with the task force on November 18, 2015. The concepts will be refined by the consultants and displayed at an open house that is tentatively scheduled for December 15,2015 at City Hall from 5 pm to 7pm. All are welcome and encouraged to attend the open house. Staff will provide additional information to the Commission once the date and time for the open house are officially set. One aspect that has not been formally discussed as part of this plan is heritage tourism. Consultant Vogel will provide the Commission with information regarding heritage tourism at the meeting. It would be beneficially to have a discussion on how heritage tourism can possibly be incorporated into the Downtown Redevelopment Plan. ACTION REQUESTED No action is required;however,the Commission should discuss heritage tourism and how it may be incorporated into the plan.
