Without their buy in and participation we may have to go a different route with the plan.

A meeting with the Park and Recreation Commission will happen early in 2016 to discuss interpretation in the City parks. b.

Through this process it was determined that the City's parks and other public spaces could provide a unique opportunity for placement of interpretation(ie.,wayfinding signs,kiosks, etc.). The HPC had requested a joint meeting with the Parks and Recreation Commission to discuss this potential opportunity. Randy Distad,Park and Recreation Director, as well as members of the Parks and Recreation Commission will be in attendance at this meeting. DISCUSSION Below are three points that should be utilized to steer discussion during the meeting: #1: Define Heritage Interpretation-as used in heritage preservation, interpretation refers to the communications process that translates the language of history, architecture, and archeology into stories and experiences that can be appreciated and enjoyed by people of all backgrounds. #2: Identify Goals and Objectives -the following list of general goals and objectives briefly summarizes the results of the work that has been done so far: • Educate residents and visitors about the historical, architectural, archaeological and cultural heritage of Farmington. • Provide engaging and relevant experiences for people of diverse perspectives and backgrounds. • Attract local,regional and national tourists. • Establish consistent interpretive messages. • Build a cohesive group of partners who can effectively preserve,manage and interpret heritage preservation sites. • Improve visitor orientation and wayfinding in the City's historic neighborhoods. • Develop guided and self-guided tours. • Connect visitors to other heritage tourism sites in the Twin Cities region. • Provide opportunities for residents and visitors to participate in heritage stewardship. • Establish measurable interpretive program outcomes. • Ensure the interpretive experience does no damage to heritage resources. #3: Identify Critical Questions -in terms of work plan objectives, the following questions seem to best define the scope of the interpretive plan: 1. Who are the audiences for interpretive programs and how can they be reached? 2. What heritage interpretation currently exists and how is it performing? 3. What is the interpretive potential of the properties currently designated or determined eligible for designation as Farmington Heritage Landmarks? 4. What are the most important interpretive topics, themes or messages? 5. What types of interpretive programs are recommended? 6. What are the relative priorities and approximate costs of implementing these recommendations? 7. Where are the best locations to initiate the program? ACTION REQUESTED Engage with the Parks and Recreation Commission to discuss interpretation within the City. oEFARAI, City of Farmington 430 Third Street Farmington, Minnesota o 651.280.6800 -Fax 651.280.6899 -..Aa. www.cifarrnington.mn.us TO: Heritage Preservation Commission FROM: Tony Wippler, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Update on Downtown Redevelopment Plan DATE: March 22,2016 INTRODUCTION Continued progress is being made with the Downtown Redevelopment Plan.
