Callahan House Board Meeting – May 2024
0:00
go through our first couple, you know, regular little things and then you guys are up first on the agenda.
0:06
So let’s call this named order twig. I call for the approval of the agenda. Comments.
0:21
recruiter. I make motion to approve the agenda.
0:26
Second, all in favor? Aye. You should say if you don’t agree. Okay. Approval of the previous minutes.
0:38
Quick thing on that. I just corrected her name. The rest of that is, right. How you originally had it. In the minutes was right. It was just a matter of correctness
0:58
is epi and
1:01
so that’d be item three a one. Yeah. It’s
1:05
just just the rest of what was done.
1:11
With this one. I thought they look beautiful. Anybody else? That with those corrections? All in favor? Hi.
1:32
Okay. public is invited to be heard.
1:36
I really don’t have that. Exactly. Okay. Let’s move on to can we just switch a TV and do the updated video? Yeah,
1:51
there’s no update on the scrapbook right now. Okay. We’re just waiting for rolling and then we’ll go back to
1:58
the updated video.
1:59
And your honor. Yes. So I mean, I’ll let I’ll just introduce myself. them all. Everybody kind of follow suit matter. I’m balling Koi. Great to meet you
2:09
all. And I’m sure.
2:12
Yes, like you’re here. Yeah. Um, but yeah, I’m, I’m here with Blackstar. Media. This wonderful gentleman over here, Jamal page is our freedom director and Callahan over there. But she can convinced herself my role. I am the Communications Coordinator for black Sparrow media. And in this specific production, I’m second assistant director, and production manager. So I’m relating with you guys in terms of any information that you kind of like in this film and all kinds of passes and paperwork. In a second turbo let Jamal connect tape to me.
2:48
Yeah. So hi, I’m Jamal. It’s good to see you guys. It’s good to be here. You know, we’re very excited to have to work on this project for you off. Yeah, as Molly was saying, you know, we’ll be here on the day, we’ll have probably a lot more people doing a lot more things. Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to be here today that we filmed. So they can all process and see just the kind of fun circus of filming things. But in that regards, yeah, so we have a couple forms to pass out just so we can get everyone on the same kind of creative vision, what my thoughts we’re not going to wrote out my creative pitch with Brittany and everything. But our thoughts for what the project will be is, you know, kind of a supplement to the original videos out there. And we’ll have a little bit more, I’m gonna say just Modern uses of the camera techniques that probably weren’t available last time this was made. So there’ll be a lot of fun to kind of bring this to the modern, modern lens. Yeah, and that’s all I have to say. And then this wonderful demon over here is Callahan. I’ve explained to her already.
4:14
So I need to do a little bit more digging. So my the Callaghan that is my main segment he was talking with Barry is JW Pelican, who is a riverboat captain in South Georgia. So not necessarily, you know, they’re all everybody. So it’s obviously it’s great. Yeah, um, I am Assistant Director for this project. I’m really excited about this, not only because of my name connection, so it’s fun to see on my calendar. But also because I in my previous career before I moved over into film, production, I was a I worked in nonprofits and specifically at a historic house museum in Tennessee, and I oversaw a restoration project there. So this is really good. Totally, I can’t wait to see what all you’ve done. And I would love to compare notes about how that process works, because ours was
5:06
bananas. But I’m really excited to see the Callahan house and and and share your story. We’re in Tennessee, Nashville. So I was at Cheekwood. Oh,
5:20
I think everybody saw the email, but Boxborough was awarded based on their vote. To do any further process based on criteria. Obviously, we’re super excited me that you guys were passionate about the project anyway, so it all worked out. But that was the reason we didn’t have to go any further is because they returned in the last month or so.
5:40
Okay. Can’t carry the clarification of stuff. So yeah, this is a add on to the other film, because I thought we were kind of trying to go for something that would be good enough that we could possibly get put it forth to be on the Colorado Experience with TBS. Yeah.
6:02
Both options are are viable. Yeah. So whichever the board is comfortable with Yeah.
6:08
And I think what kind of Jamal is saying in terms of add on is not to something that we’ve been using a lot is a supplement, but not replace, which is we want to acknowledge the quality of work that was done with the original film by also kind of reiterating some of those historic aspects that were brought up in the initial film, not taking away any of them by any means. But by if anything, adding additional historical facts and additional quality to it to be a nice sister film. Yes, yeah.
6:42
I think based on I mean, the nature of what we’re doing and information we want to share, naturally, some of the information is going to be repeated. But again, the intention not to replace but to, you know, via continuity.
6:56
Yeah, absolutely. And to utterly also kind of be able to pinch on to PBS, which I know is something that you guys have all mentioned.
7:06
Yeah. And hopefully, we’d like to do sort of a viewing at the museum also, obviously, you know, kind of worked
7:12
through that. That’d be really cool. And I’m in connection with Eric. Yeah, like, this entire process
7:19
was super cool. Yeah. Yeah. So I think he just wanted to get some input on the board. Page, and
7:31
we’re creating the script. So the plan for what the video will actually like visually look like and you’re watching it is, we have a lovely host actress that we hire. And she’ll kind of be like the tour guide that takes you through the house, as she does that will go through different rooms and areas. And we’ll be talking about the history of it, the significance of set area, as well, as you know, where applicable, we’ll talk about like how it’s used today. So that would be true for both the interior of the house. And next year, we’re going, we’re doing the whole whole thing, whole thing. So in that sense, we’re writing the script, and we want to make sure we get all the historical facts, right. But on top of getting everything right when they share everyone’s voices and input is hurt. So what I have here is not the script, per se, but an outline of the script. So this is like a work in progress, if you want to think of it that way. So this will kind of run through. I’ve got bullet points here. It says, you know, gardens, the house exterior, the automobile house, and each one kind of has just bullet points of things that we’re going to touch on. Whereas the actual scripts, of course, be a lot more filled out and detailed. So this will give you an idea of where the project is going. And it will allow you to add your own bug which Molly has pointed to that as well. So I’ll go ahead and start with that it should be good in Chapman.
8:58
And as you guys are passing that out. Once it looks that looks like I’m kind of goes around all hanging out with these, which is some short little survey. In general, I’m gonna have you put your name your email that way. If I have to ask any additional follow up questions I can. But we just kind of want to know what your overall images for the documentary. Do you have any specific events or features regarding the home that you believe must be included that are not already on here? And is there anything that you do not want in this film that was maybe previously included or has not been mentioned? Or is maybe something that is important to present date Longmont that, you know, we just should not include for specific reasons, etc. I think that it’s important to note that as well. And any additional comments or critiques I did last week kind of extends over so feel free to go over to the back page. And Brittany will kind of be relating back to me. So feel free to send this to Brittany and then she will send it back to me. Thank you so much for coming next up Yeah, yeah.
9:59
And what Got your time, I think we want it bring us around fairly quickly. You guys even back by
10:05
next week if we can, um, we could just do next Wednesday, that would be amazing. Talk to you, right.
10:15
So we have to get these into the by late Tuesday is that give enough time? I know it’s a quick turnaround. But
10:21
I honestly think that between Kenny and Karen,
10:26
they’re our biggest history. Karen’s art historian. And so she’s going to have a lots of information on there in the past. Phil, do we have anything that she that was incorrect in the past?
10:49
Tuesday and then August?
11:07
You’re able to answer it for this for the statues, the Greek statues on the website, it was one of them as part of this. And then on the other documents and household dockets, we have it listed as Venus. So I just wasn’t sure. Yes. Yes.
11:31
As part of the stuff on the website, that’s like I said, they’re inaccuracies? Yeah. Okay. So wrong information that we can definitely clarify
11:44
all of that. Website. Gotcha. Okay,
11:54
so I’ll send out an email to say, with a calendar reminder to get the surveys back into me by Tuesday, and I’ll send those to us on Wednesday. Okay.
12:11
Free opinion both. But is there any way that we can get these two people?
12:14
Um, no, I can absolutely send a digital copy. Absolutely. Brittany and I have discussed it and we have bought a physical copy might be a little bit easier. But I can absolutely send out a digital copy to you immediately after the shooting. I said.
12:36
Look, absolutely. I will email that to me. And I will. Yeah, I’ll put it in a specific form that kind
12:43
of is great. If you want those digitally.
12:53
digitally, how do we get this? That?
12:56
We have to have it forever? Yeah.
13:00
Yeah, it’s a great picture. Yeah. Yeah. You
13:02
say to me, integration out. Yeah.
13:08
Yeah, bring it over to Pinterest. Tomorrow.
13:17
candidates.
13:18
Great. Is there anything else you guys want to discuss specifically or point out that you’re looking for in terms of information from the board input or not
13:28
quite a decision? I mean, that kind of just want to make sure that everyone is aware of just like the process. And of course, like, again, invite everyone to be present if they choose to be present. Whenever we film this, those dates,
13:41
did you have those dates set? Yeah, we
13:43
do. But we’re waiting on some contractual stuff to go through the city, which
13:49
Yeah, it was unfortunately not sure how TBD
13:57
penciled in? Yeah. Yeah. For like a service agreement or something. Yeah, it’s because the quote, because of the amount of the quote, it has to go through legal and risk and this whole thing, so. Yeah, so we’re working on that. On the back end. Pam running through purchasing is trying to get that push through for us as quickly as possible. But you know, so we’ve got some penciled in. Do we have a bunch?
14:21
I think our Yeah, so our initial 20 Yes,
14:28
I let me get the exact dates for you right now.
14:31
So it
14:32
is May 21. Through the 23rd was our initial dates and those
14:37
were for the interior. Yes,
14:39
only interior because of the exterior flowers and gardens are obviously going to have an overflow. So we had exterior dates for 16th and 17th of July, and that at this point, if the contract is not approved by May we will probably push to July that is our yeah
14:59
yeah. Free. They just need a clue. Absolutely. Yeah, trying to get the ball rolling as soon as possible. But right, yeah,
15:08
I do have a question. Assistant Director, one of my my roles is going to be making sure that our people are where we need to be and doing the things that we need to do and staying on time. Who is my best point of contact in this room, we’re not in this room for actual physical materials in the house, what we can
15:28
touch what we can move, we’re in Britain, I’ll be present during all the filming wonderful. And I’ll be your point of contact or setting up dates and all that stuff if we need to make changes or whatever
15:37
it is. And this is the thing that we also discussed with Brittany, in our previous meeting, which I apologize for not kind of relaying to you how Hannah’s she was you were going to give us a list of all materials that cannot be like photographed, or you don’t have any videography just because of like, yes,
15:52
well, that was something we were wondering is like a lot of the photographs, you know, in here if we if we have any concerns about those being photographed, or there’s a way that you guys can do it without direct flights or something? Or yeah, there are thoughts about that. So think about, obviously want them included,
16:12
yes, we can absolutely do things without direct light sources. And that’s something that we’ve talked about as well. But it would depend on the time of day. So we have to be in here when the house is well lit.
16:24
And speeding up is when you guys are going around today because they’re they’re gonna go around and set up shot lists and stuff. There’s no curtains on anything because they’re being washed. So nice. Goes back in. And also I mentioned to all that we’re getting a new piano, that’s not going to be for a few months. So it’s being shipped to our like piano person on May 24. But then he’s gonna have it for two or three months here. So just FYI, that scan a little bit later.
17:02
See the one that’s in there? Now that’s not workflow? Yeah, that was
17:12
and get footage of like the cow. It’s not like a It’s not like a full room. It’s nice.
17:23
You only had a question I have as we had talked about doing. Sorry, doing the
17:36
Oh, the QR codes.
17:38
We talked about that specific pieces are going to be
17:43
included? Yeah, we’re figuring out like what the best arrangement for this. Yeah.
17:49
I know. We’re not going to do it on everything. But yeah, we don’t want them all over the place. Now. They seem like maybe two or three, like maybe one for interior one of the garden, one for the autumn house, something like that. Just because we don’t aesthetically. But yeah, right.
18:08
I would also try to do like something clear, something that was not noticeable kind of, well, not not noticeable, but not taking on.
18:17
Something non intrusive. Yeah,
18:20
that would be amazing. That’s so and then the link to I think we talked about kind of portioning out. Anyhow, so that like your selection on the gardens? Sections? Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Yeah.
18:34
That’s exactly what I’ve always wanted to be.
18:36
So that’s exactly. Great. Great. Cool. Anything else that you guys wanted to learn? Okay, God I had is, you know, of all the events that take place here. One that is the most beautiful and high profile is the wedding parties outside? Yeah. I’m just wondering if there could be, you know, like a 10. Second, a cut to some B roll.
19:10
down the aisle, there might be a wedding happening here, which of course, they’ll have their own videographers and people but they might be kind enough to lend us some of that footage.
19:21
So long that public media is working on like a virtual venue tour, which is meant to be more of a sales and marketing item for weddings, and private rentals and ATVs or in connection with them. Right. So we’re getting even Hey, my, you know, yeah, like a little bit of that footage to this video. is, yeah, Rachel Moyer, who’s getting married here at the end of this month, who’s our marketing person from city long mile is having lpm out to her drone footage, and they’re working so there’s a lot that can be interconnected once
19:59
done Thanks for bringing that
20:02
up. But yeah. I guess coffee and tea in this room right here. So but yeah, and then he’s just gonna like just around. Okay. Any questions? Yeah.
20:23
I’m glad you guys are so excited to do this contest? Yeah. I don’t know if I’ll see you later. Good meeting. Yeah. Cool. Okay. Any ideas and questions or whatever? Back to Brittany by
20:50
Tuesday? Yeah. And I’ll send out an email like, a calendar invite. Just as an update reminder. Thank you. Oh, love that. That helps me. Yeah.
20:59
I really, I know, it’s probably a
21:01
pain in the butt. But
21:03
it’s so helpful to have this. And
21:06
just for the agenda whenever Rachel shows up, because she’s supposed to be here on 1015 1030. I think whenever she shows up, we’ll skip to branding, if that’s okay. Okay. Okay. Sorry.
21:15
Sounds great. Okay, let’s carry on to club fair, because I’m on the agenda. We met
21:23
after the last regular meeting, upstairs. And at that meeting, I revised the letter that had been used in the past. And we discussed the fee that should be charged. And we also talked about our list of clubs to contact and added some to that, including Maria was going to get in touch with committee.
21:53
I haven’t had I have spoken to her briefly, but I haven’t I don’t have more information to bring back on that. But I do have out and I also have gotten a contact for the AAUW was all the people that
22:14
worked on that to his Yeah. So
22:16
we’re still kind of fine tuning those contacts and stuff. But we need to get, we need to set a meeting. We didn’t do that. What I’m thinking is that right after immediately after this meeting, because I know we have another meeting. But right after this meeting, if the four of us an offer this can discuss a future meeting, but next week, maybe even at my house, so they’ll be working. And we could, for sure, get the letters ready to go.
22:47
More information by that point.
22:49
That means you actually. So we’ll talk about that. At the end of the meeting. One question I do have, we talked about the fee. And initially, when we did this, the first two tiles, the fields connected to the size of the table. And we asked them what size they wanted them. So we kind of mulled it over and decided, maybe you don’t need it too. And maybe we just decide once they register, whether we’re outside or in a carriage house or in the dining room, or just what their club was conducive to instead of saying, for your this fee is amount, you can rent a car cable, instead of saying that being that specific, we would kind of assign this this case, it might include a table in a moment. And then our price that we the fee that we came up with was $40. We had charged 25 in the past. So because of inflation of ever increasing that. I don’t know, what do you think? Does that sound reasonable to sound too steep?
24:00
What are affordable to me and people people can pay a 50 to $100 for a table at like, convention or an art fair or things like that. So I think I think it’s very reasonable for a person. The
24:11
other thing that we
24:14
noticed in looking at this letter is we were providing like refreshments for everybody who participated attendees and the club people as well. So that $40 would have to include that type of thing.
24:30
Is that something that we still want to offer?
24:36
That’s one of those things I still think wouldn’t be totally astronomical if we $40 just seem so minimum to me. Yeah, I don’t know that we don’t make it 50 And then do the light refreshments that gives us an additional I know I keep on creeping the numbers up. I don’t need to but You can’t do anything for that price
25:02
you really can’t Yeah, I mean yeah how many how many people would we be talking about providing food for? We helped a lot. Well I mean waterpark What do you think? Kind
25:14
of think enlightened free freshness to me means cookies to the crackers and cheese crackers and I think I’ve never been to this but I know food is like a really it’s a draw
25:27
yeah people snack when they walk around.
25:29
But this would just be for the club people not for the general public. Yes No that’s very expensive.
25:43
That’s hard to hard to differentiate
25:49
yeah
25:54
you don’t have one cookie you can’t have because we didn’t want to make money on this event. I mean, the purpose is also to get clubs in the house and future funds and routes and put ourselves out there as a what if
26:08
What if we got donations? Like from the local grocery stores for package cookies, I mean, we could get some sugar free cookies and regular cookies and then we’re just supplying water and lemonade or something?
26:23
Yeah,
26:24
I do that all the all the grocery stores these King kings and Safeway they will give you a certificate like a $20 gift certificate and you can spend it on their sprouts maybe we’ll do a six weeks then
26:44
you take them get them out of here with an arrow just the boy there bagels at the end of the day, then sometimes you’ve got big grocery sacks full of bagels.
26:55
I think we need to think about somebody like that because providing food for I mean, we hope to have several 100 People come to this right.
27:05
But I’m not sure about bagels
27:07
well I’m not sure about just the fact that people are eating and wandering to the house makes
27:11
me yes, yeah, well that too. There’s that that makes me kind of cringe What about
27:19
I don’t know what if we got some food trucks to come and like you know, people can have food for purchase if they want to you know, it’s gonna be a several hour event the earnings come and check so how you are comfortable food truck was so that people can purchase their own food but there’s still right available, that’s a good get out there. And we could sometimes when you get vendors like a food truck vendors, they might give like a discounted ticket price to like the people that are participating in clubs and things like that they might offer a discounted meal for those people. And we’re setting them up to kind of giving them a lot of business. Isn’t that something that
28:01
they do down in Prospect Park
28:03
during the day but
28:08
I must fortunately
28:11
see food trucks they know it’s an event and yeah, good food.
28:17
Or offering them like cookies. It’s a great idea and then not paying for it. Right? You
28:25
want that food to come into the house so
28:30
we should be I think that would be fine to manage. You know?
28:34
You create the garden. So then if we could just provide water bottled water
28:39
for our
28:42
water? I don’t I don’t know
28:44
much about bottled water but to the people who set up
28:48
yeah, we provide like coffee and tea and water for those people. Probably not bottled water just water water. Ecologically but yeah, we water say we do a water station. That inconveniente Yeah, yeah. And then have the food trucks. I don’t know though. We
29:05
even need to do coffee but cold beverages I think is what really
29:09
iced tea and water. Yeah, I was taught. Yeah. Yeah, I think let’s store you
29:16
signatory them
29:22
really reasonable in my opinion,
29:23
but I looked at like talking to the cultures International, those little ladies $50 a lot of money to them. They don’t pay a bunch of money into their club quilt and they’re gonna go, I’m gonna give me $50 So I could sit in the house. I could. I mean, okay, I know,
29:40
Peggy and no, that’s, that’s good insight.
29:44
I’m just saying. Some people are gonna say no.
29:47
Even though it’s a fundraiser, I think it does a lot of good for cow henhouse and for the community if it’s not so restrictive in terms of the fees, I mean, you might be shooting yourself in the foot if you make it too much, even though it should be, you know, even though the going rate might be more because you really want a lot of pizza dollars, we stick to the 45. What is like a
30:19
suggested fee? Pay what you can kind of a thing like a donation sort of basically suggested donation is $50. But if that doesn’t work for you, that weekend, that’s a really good, that’s yeah, that’s nice. But I also pay more than Yeah, where we get more from some people, but then it’s more accessible for clubs that can’t pay it or whatever school
30:43
suggested.
30:46
But just to fee is $50. minimum is?
30:49
Yeah, maybe a minimum minimum of 30. You’re here. What were you saw your face? What were you thinking? Your face? I
31:01
think you’re on the right track. Now. We’re just a donation that while this is a fundraiser, this is really unlike fundraiser support. Have some serious fun? Yes, sir. It is really about community outreach and support. And
31:23
I think we we addressed all that in the rewriting of the letter that we were sending out. And I also am happy to report that the clusters are very excited that we were talking about having is as a state state organization can go present. We’re just starting there really jazzed about it, sharing house would be a good place. Maybe for them, possibly, that’s that’s one of those things that they have all sorts of flyers and stuff that they’re very excited about.
31:59
So if we just had suggested donation would be Yeah, 30 to $50.
32:08
suggested donation 50. minimum, minimum. Minimum. Okay. So suggested suggested donation. suggested
32:19
donation means they can pay that if you pay a little less than that. Yeah. Okay.
32:24
So should we even stay the bar? No, I
32:27
will not listen. Because at that point, you’re saying yeah,
32:32
yeah, donation base is just
32:37
whatever so but in the letter we said, Now remember, this is a fundraiser. So we it’s in there. So we’ve already addressed it. So we’ve we just put in what we had just spoken about is a suggested fee. I think $50 is good.
32:54
Because that’s what they can afford. That’s what we believe. Cuz that’s not good. Yes.
33:01
It as inclusive as we can. Yes, yes. Yeah.
33:04
The food trucks food trucks. With all her connections for her events, okay, that whole process you know, like who’s Sam’s gonna be your grocery for that.
33:21
Okay, why don’t I work on that?
33:24
Okay, yeah, she’s our event coordinator. Yeah, we’ve we’ve met Sam before she’s been here but one
33:33
two or three? Yeah, three Miami
33:36
a lot for your state too. Because there’s like the passport one that goes to all of our events and they’re like their food is all over the place. Yeah, that’s why it’s called passport.
33:44
Okay, ours to
33:48
be ours were 10 to one so let’s push off to be here early like nine just set up and then to to take down but 10 to one she run. There is a biscuit. Joe’s or something I’ve seen something like that.
34:09
Popular yet. Okay. I will work on that. And we’ll see if we can get that we’ll get like a discounted ticket renders to do a special okay. Yeah, there’s
34:20
probably yes. Nice.
34:24
There’s always this
34:26
little potential meal or just for the present hours. Yeah.
34:31
That’s a great idea. So
34:34
yeah, having that rhythm on Roosevelt and everything.
34:37
So Brittany, a question about being able to use house stationery. We have specific paper we can move it off on letter. Thank you.
34:56
I can look Do we have some
35:00
To use an official stationery, it would be the new branding, right? Yes, yes. Well, no, actually it was the either the letterhead used? Or it would be what? Recently Used with the gate? Colors? Yeah. At the top. So
35:21
I’ll see if we have something. If not, we could get something from Korea, maybe there’s
35:26
maybe some kicking around, we can just use up there might be
35:30
there might be something and
35:35
so there might be some papers that
35:36
we use. Okay. Another thing is mail merge. Can we do that with this kind of
35:41
thing? Constant Contact? Yeah. Because
35:45
our letter said, Dear members of and we had handwritten in each question for whatever,
35:52
yeah, we can set up a new constant contact list for this. Oh, that would be so you wouldn’t be individualizing? It
35:58
would be one general. You know, I
36:00
mean, like it wouldn’t have there
36:01
wouldn’t be each individual organizations. So what would be
36:07
wouldn’t be put in couldn’t we could put in put in names and email addresses Mail Merge list. Right.
36:14
But that content of the constant contact? Oh, wouldn’t be individualized. Unless you created individual constants? I don’t think
36:25
it’d be is that a letter or?
36:26
Well, it’s an email.
36:29
Who was it to? Whoever
36:30
we need it to be to? i The letter can be the same to each each
36:35
club. But it’s not been broad. Right? It also needs to be an email, right? Because I found in the past and the letters get lost, and we have to send an email anyway. But
36:44
it’s the same letter.
36:50
Just the overall game of the introduction last year, question is yes, we are to come
36:58
up with a turn. It’s all encompassing, dear participants, or
37:04
Yeah, like, well, we can put it I mean, when I would like upload a list of emails, it would be their name and email so we can put in Okay, so
37:13
we just want to verification that that’s okay. Something possible. Yeah. Those of us who don’t?
37:20
Okay. So definitely want to get this out. I can do it before the end of May. Yes. Students?
37:27
Do we want do we need a hardcopy letter? In addition to an email? You all know, these groups is that
37:35
you know, I think there’s a bear. Appreciate that. In the older clubs, I think yeah, and then there’s some
37:43
neck. When I think about this,
37:46
I’m thinking Questers Yeah, maybe longer. They’re still feeding both. Yeah. Both sections that we want to catch, so. Okay.
38:01
Great, great. Hey, anything else on cloudfare one
38:08
as far as the painfulness how the pastor’s always check me able to check in,
38:17
do it through setup. Waveland online, I think we could create, yeah, Turriff track like a registration. So yeah, they can pay online, they could also send a check if they prefer. So I think we can take it
38:32
can we do both options? Yes, that would be great. Yeah. And so, so So the, that will need to be stated in the letter that right.
38:46
Here, I’m gonna they can either
38:49
bring this up and send the committee a copy of you a copy, and then you can write up for me better than I. Okay. That sounds good.
39:04
And I think we’ve done really well to be honest and really hard on yourself. What if we could just send if you could just plop it in this basically.
39:14
She can go work with a magic wand. Okay. Okay, the next item on the agenda is called selection criteria.
39:22
Make it so on April 24. Uber, was presented. But in the process, we had separated out that Nigeria into what would be more of a questionnaire or something that the club would fill out, like an application and then a separate page. That will be just helpful direction for the board members to be able to generate information And after that meeting, we’ve since got some feedback from legal about a couple of pieces of material. And so held off on the together that survey or questionnaire and direction because of that. So legal, I think y’all can see that on the it’s included in the packet. Page five. So is really need to number one eight of the criteria
40:41
requiring that these three highlighted items need to be removed.
40:49
Do they need to be removed or this is a suggestion, maybe to
40:53
revote? What they’re saying that it’s a federal level issue? They’re very black and white, that these items cannot be included?
41:04
And there’s a federal, yeah,
41:06
just like in terms of protected classes, and like, we don’t want to have any potential for discrimination issues or anything of any kind. So
41:18
just don’t say it. Yeah. It’s
41:20
just they just need to be to be removed.
41:23
But they acknowledge that the warranty deed is a legal document. It’s recorded. Yeah. The Boulder County? Yes. And so but language in this in the recorded deed? Yes.
41:33
Yeah. And that team 38, you know, and with respect to the deed, and as we talked about in the last meeting, more than likely, it will continue to be a lot of women’s clubs, you know, I just naturally catering to that, but but in no way should that be reflected here, or the DB included in a criteria for selecting people to use the house, not
41:58
your criteria. So the fact that you’re a woman? Yeah, that sounds
42:03
pretty cut and dry. Yeah.
42:08
Yeah, so the question is, does the city have an online form that it would like the format of this to be put into? How would you like the format? Because with the criteria, we’ll look at that? Yeah, well, I
42:27
think what your question is what’s best for the clubs? Because we can we can do it online? We can also have, you know, I think it’s, how do we make it most accessible for the clubs? Online would certainly be easiest for a coming in. Like I a application process for clubs that want to use their house, that’s what I was thinking. Yeah, so like an online intake form, basically, like we’re interested in, in the house for club space, and then it goes through a process, you know, okay. So it can be whatever is most accessible. I
43:04
think, for people, I’m trying to get my head wrapped around that, that the fact that the kind of diversity is represented within club members, I can understand is it the way we asked it? Is? I know, when we do grants, that’s one of the first things what type of diversity you have. That’s one of the things they ask. Sure. And we’ll how do we answer that question, if we aren’t even allowed to ask or clubs, what they’re doing as a diversity,
43:35
it’s the matter of using this as a criteria for except, yes, that’s, that’s the thing. So it’s not that in a survey, maybe of clubs that we if people want to fill out that information, but using it as a criteria to say who intercepted and using the house is not an appropriate place for these questions. Okay,
43:55
that doesn’t make sense.
44:00
The question to ask for that can just be something that we know that knowledge is provided by us to the best of our understanding?
44:11
Yeah. And there are very easily give that information because it’s often something to be proud of, like, your
44:22
club. Yes. To be the purpose of their group is celebrating a certain aspect of that. And so, you know, it’s very obvious, but it just can’t be part of a criteria for
44:33
use. There are other ways to find out the evaluation. Sure.
44:38
Yeah, yeah. So yeah. Okay.
44:43
So what we do is, we like to schedule Well, we already have guidelines, we’ll just move them a bit. With these, and can
45:02
I make a suggestion that we just amend them with these, and then you sent it out, we look at it, and then we get moving forward, because we’ve worked on this pretty diligently in regards to this point. And if that’s kind of where it’s at, I don’t know that we can make any more changes than those and we just move forward.
45:23
So we want some kind of intake form, correct.
45:28
So I can, like read to all of our somethings, any members that we’re working on this task to the examples of what they look like, and then the depths that lie to you. But the survey or questionnaire application, I don’t know the right word. Yeah. application into whatever format the city would use. Yeah, and electronic purposes,
46:01
I think we can make it we could potentially make it available on the website, like an online form, which will take some time, because when we look into our website person to put something together like that, or it could be often when clubs are interested, they end up just reaching out to me via email, and email. Yeah. So that will probably get us that the most right. And actually, that might be on the website, directly to that email here. And then I can send them the form. Now I’m easiest. I like it. That’s exactly what we’re thinking. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Because then they can either print and fill it out if they need to, or fill it out online. digitally, the club a fair,
46:44
hopefully, there’ll be a lot of questions along those lines. And we should either are prepared to handle them. website or board. Yes. Yeah. Yes.
46:54
Great. Is on one page. Yes. It is.
47:01
Yeah. Great. Great. Great. Thank you.
47:04
Thank you for that work. Anything else on product selection criteria? Okay, the next item is club survey. Creation.
47:23
Obviously, with that, so
47:30
original survey. Okay. Yeah. So I think what we need your parents,
47:34
right? Because it actually is going to be different than what the original was. Yeah, yeah. Right, because we did it originally. With the exception of the three clubs that are new, we may want to ask them original one.
47:55
If we’re going to have the clubs, do a simplified one moving forward, or just have everybody do that one at the same time.
48:02
There may be information, that’s what I’m trying to get at and that was gathered in the original survey. That won’t be
48:13
the next regularly in what’s that moving forward? Like if a new club were to enter, we wouldn’t have everybody do this survey. So I think
48:21
because it’s ever gathered from Syria, like, right, so
48:25
so when I see you’re saying
48:27
your criteria, so if someone maybe if maybe if some way we can just so that
48:32
you have as you started to just give us information
48:35
from the what we previously gathered from that. Yeah. And then going forward, everybody is using the same
48:42
criteria and we surveyed the criteria and
48:46
tried to simplify it so people aren’t overwhelmed and feel like they have to write everything else. So that was yes, yeah.
48:55
So should we set a task meeting to come up with that paragraph simplified? Probably. What we should
49:10
I got chips on next Wednesday.
49:13
Wait, is that work? Is that for this? Or is that for you? It’s for The Hobbit. Yeah, I was gonna say yeah.
49:31
This is before become aware that you’re doing a survey or a meeting. Every committee
49:37
right, separate but related. Yeah.
49:49
We want to look in next week or the following week.
49:52
I can’t do it. Well, I’m going to Ireland So if we do it the first part of next week, I can do it. But usually, I leave on the 23rd you can’t Wednesday. I’ll be here Wednesday. Coming for Wednesday. I gotcha. Okay, so but I can’t do it after that.
50:19
See you next wednesday the 15th.
50:22
Yes. So actually, I can do it until so the 22nd No, like, forward, backwards or whatever you want to say I can do it, but that’s gonna be tricky. So I could do get I could do the 16 or houses up on 16. You can our what works for you here that can work. It just seems to work for anyone interested in are you having a morning or afternoon? We can? We can. Okay, so
51:06
I have a meeting that you have Thursday. I can start as early as 11. Golf.
51:14
So So So what would work? I can do Singleton’s I could do the 17th. Or the 20th 17th is
51:28
open at the house. 20th is not sort of shoot that day was open. Anytime
51:40
this morning or afternoon? We’re looking
51:45
good. Either time. How about we do that? 10am?
52:02
Today, yeah,
52:04
sure. eautiful. So then I’m like doubling up going,
52:08
wait a bit. Here? Yes. So really quick. How long do you want me to set aside for that? I think
52:23
if we take more than that, alright.
52:35
Moving right along another opportunity for meeting, gala and house membership program. Well,
52:42
we did have that test meeting on April 24. Yes. And so we actually made good progress. And you can see on page six of our packet here to help the results of our progress on that meeting. Chest, check with everyone and see if there’s any
53:06
feedback or about what I really liked that we said about patrons. Right. I’m really happy to
53:25
find my friends. I noticed that you’re okay. with it. But other than that, the tear levels? How are you feeling about value levels that we’ve kind
53:43
of because anybody is just to this. It gives everybody an opportunity. You can donate as little as 50 or $100, or as much as 1000 more.
53:58
I think that’s, that’s the whole thing is we wanted to make everybody feel like they can say, Okay, I know I can only budget this right. But they still feel good.
54:08
Right? They felt she’ll feel included.
54:11
And what about the calendar?
54:14
Is it January through December so that it’s updated here? We’ll take what’s what’s happened over the course of this year, for example, and then again, we can even do monthly and add them up and put them in a frame in front of the house. We wanted to be at the close of the year. We can do 2024 patrons of the Catherine house with the full complete list, right? Because that list will change and it will change from year to year.
54:46
But we didn’t want to make it overwhelming to acute right.
54:49
That was the big question we
54:51
talked about where it would be that it might be displayed somewhere
54:56
on the donor list recognition wherever it was It was online on the city’s website page for Callahan house, in the Callahan house in the glass covered frame new the front door. And then in the city, the civic center where the countin house advisory board monthly agenda.
55:16
And that’s what she said. So so people can see. Yeah. And that’s exactly what it’s there for. Okay, so let’s use it.
55:31
As this is going to pertain then also to like, community partnerships, like, for example, for the art and science that we’re doing this summer, the st. Britton cidery is like, offering us discounted product, you know, or if we get donations for an event or something like that this would be they would put a monetary value on whatever they’re donating and then be at this level of donorship.
55:57
Yes, yes, that’s what you’re thinking. And then, in addition to that, so if we’re dealing with somebody like the cidery, or somebody like that, that has a logo. That’s something we didn’t discuss with, we put their logos on.
56:12
Yeah, I think we have one for like private donors and one for community partnerships, because we can use their logo, you know, that because that’s something that you kind of trade in value is like marketing on your behalf and letting the public know that you’re a donor, or you sponsored more of a sponsorship,
56:30
it’s a way that we can get more funds to Yes, I think would that be the same thing? I mean,
56:38
we’d see the same thing. There would just be like, two sections on the list, but same same tiers, right. For private donors and for community sponsors. Yeah. But then the lows maybe on the bottom for the community sponsors, same thing, but just just
56:55
listed on the bottom. Yeah, you can see two locals. Yeah. But can a partnership going? I think that’s a great idea. But it wasn’t, we didn’t discuss that.
57:05
But it’s a great idea. Yes.
57:08
But yeah, I mean, that’s very easy to just incorporate that element to it. So
57:12
wonderful. And then those benefits are, you know, along with the recognition, the newsletter access with Constant Contact, and then an annual patrons only event. kind of simple. We have to keep in mind that this is a donor program, not a membership program, and so they’re not receiving something in return. So these benefits are yes, recognition. Yes, you get information. And to get them invited to patrons. It would be something very nice, nice to acknowledge all the donors to come and meet each other. But it’s yeah, it’s not writing them any kind of serious value offensive back,
57:58
right. acknowledgement. Your point? Thank you. So
58:04
we just with respect to outreach and advertising strategy, these are the four that are listed, the fourth one being the most, while we added the designated communication dates. So we have constant contact other appropriate city resources in Britain, you can kind of leave review, find out what would be the best approach there. But in house posting, of course, is easy here in the house. And with the designated communication dates, that’s a January letter. That would be here’s our program, this is the donor program, this this was for Germany, Japan, October, send out a reminder letter. Because the timing of that is good. It’s starting to wrap up the year and catch people as they’re finishing up their year end. Budgeting and determining who they need to donate to. And then at all December Open House events, which definitely catches everybody, not just anyone who’s been doing this, or who we’ve had contact with, but anyone who comes in the house.
59:22
And that would be just what is there all the time that set up the list in the front or how would you be advertising or
59:31
when when they come in and entered and by the way, you can here’s that you can send it via emails, or we also have the opportunity, okay, so you can join us. So whoever is the greeter, she then say, I’m going to point out this, this is our donors, that are our patrons right here. And you’re welcome to sign up and be one of the patrons by the way, and, you know, so catch people, you know, I’m just wondering
1:00:00
if it would be better if that were done after they’ve walked around a little instead of the minute they walk in the door. Yeah, hit.
1:00:12
So hard, though, because everybody leaves a different way.
1:00:15
We just may have to have two people, we may have to have agreed or you might have to have a departure. From stairs. Stairs, the nice thing about downstairs is I’ll be able to see the list.
1:00:28
Yeah, that’s true. So the station.
1:00:32
So yeah. Yeah,
1:00:36
I don’t see it as any different than when put our little box out there that people shove money in? I don’t see that as any different. I understand. You don’t want to overwhelm people. But you know, and if you want more information, don’t hesitate ask me. And questions are one of the other members.
1:00:57
That Well, a lot of people doesn’t know much, maybe they haven’t been here before. So they wouldn’t know whether they be interested until they’ve gone through. And then maybe if there isn’t somebody to catch them on the way out, they’ll forget to, you know, stop with the person, the greeter could
1:01:17
be my upstairs my station for it, or it’s part of the handout, or
1:01:24
that’s what I was trying to hand up with that. And then
1:01:30
I don’t know, you want to be a patron
1:01:31
of the Callahan gals will signage. Here on the table.
1:01:39
I understand what you’re saying, Cindy, it’s not like I’m trying to. It’s just when you go through any other museum, any other house and the art museum, any anything? They always have their patron thing. First thing as you go, Oh, yes, that’s good. I think the listings good, but also growing attention to it. And then if it’s in the in the flyer information as here’s, by the way, here’s the information of the house. And included with that is would you want to be pager? I don’t and then we’re not trying to catch them on the back.
1:02:15
Yeah, I think we can flush that out. Everybody’s thinking about that. And we don’t get the decision today. So I’m saying let’s think about that and figure out in our own minds what, what feels comfortable, comfortable most
1:02:27
and whatever, embrace but I think we
1:02:32
set a follow up task meeting to come to with anything that we can flesh out and
1:02:40
be able to be present to the board and people were
1:02:43
more prepared for it. Essentially able to roll it up in July
1:02:51
July open house or at least for public fair, we get a ton people here for Artwalk. Yeah, well, one it still and it’s pretty much some
1:03:00
action items that you can do right now.
1:03:02
Yeah, can you I mean, it’s pretty, pretty ready.
1:03:06
And Constant Contact would be a good place to send something out to
1:03:11
Yeah, knew about Yeah, Options Program. Yeah. Made program.
1:03:17
Language now, you want to piggyback off of the club’s survey test meeting at the end of the hour or less on that and then come up with language and
1:03:27
let’s pick it back and do it so we can move forward with this.
1:03:30
Yes.
1:03:33
All right. So we’ll just right after the
1:03:41
73 want
1:03:43
to set aside like I was doing two hours forgot total? Yeah. You said you said two hours in total with that, but I said club survey and the donor program Yes.
1:04:03
Got it. Right. Okay.
1:04:06
Moving right along. Anything else on clubs served on the membership programs. Auto house revamped. And
1:04:20
there’s a page here in the back. It was a little overwhelming, but
1:04:30
I just went ahead and copied an email from Kevin because I thought it was great part of it had a lot of information and so I just Yes, throw it in there. So and it just, you know, kind of people that have napkin drawing here. The idea for the storage unit. So where we’re at right now is is meeting storage with tables and chairs that we have in house now which we’re very excited about and options being either building a new storage unit in the auto house and kind of you know, as part of the revamp of that Phase, or potentially using the garden shed, which would require, you know, some a little bit of augmentation to that, and then potentially a paved pathway so that the dollies can get through that area, or something that can be laid out as needed to get to that space. So I think we kind of want some feedback about people are interested in Autohaus are interested in the garden shed. Okay, a couple
1:05:29
of thoughts and ideas. First off the size of this in house, I don’t like I think that the house is better used as a storage structure, rather than storage facility. So I think we need to scrap the idea of using auto house to have storage inside, we need to be able to access the user, which
1:05:54
is the purpose because right now there’s storage in it, regardless of storage units that are in there are really not used for anything that needs to be in there. And they’re really not functional for our purposes. So the idea of this is to make it a functional space, but when the space is in use for rentals, or whatever it may be, it doesn’t feel like a storage space, because it’s, you know, looks
1:06:18
just like a hiding place
1:06:20
to tables and chairs behind some screens. And you can obviously see that they’re there. Right. The other thing I want to mention is that all of the new items will not fit in the garden shed the way that it is. Right. So
1:06:35
my next thought is this rather than what’s in the garden shed, or in which case, actually,
1:06:41
I mean, if we were to take up the whole space, so
1:06:45
and I think it might be wise, since we’re meetings, the ability to access and roll things in is considered the pad of concrete. That’s right back there. Just to guess the fence in the corner. Yeah, behind the fence that kind of covers to where the garden is up a new structure there and make it look nice. But that can be the official storage structure that will provide
1:07:19
the option? I think
1:07:20
it is out easy roll on that concrete that’s already there. Yeah,
1:07:25
I don’t know how easy that is to get an additional structure builds or how accepted that might be? Well, it’s an option. Potentially,
1:07:36
it would be better than having it up against the historic structure.
1:07:40
Yeah, I’m that’s over here behind the mansion. Because
1:07:44
as it is, I don’t know where to place there. But it does block the ability to care for the structure and
1:07:54
the structure of that. And that was something that we brought up. And
1:07:57
so rather than continue with that, that isn’t going to fit everything in any way. Build a structure on a concrete pad that’s already existing can support the size and weight and rolling things in and out of it. And it’s even more convenient. And then that way, you’re not having to build another structure over there, maybe put concrete or concrete in there or put a temporary rolling map that you can take out and put out when you need to roll something in and out. It’s like when you give it you know, I’m also cookie. How much more simple can we make this rather than have one thing that creates a need for something else and then a need to do something else? And then that potentially piles into this bigger mess. For lack of a better word. Why don’t we simplify it? Keep it to what we know is that the pad is there. There is no parking back there. There’s no cars or anything that you need for anything there. It’s it’s already concrete. It’s solid, it’s stable.
1:09:19
So it’s certainly alter your
1:09:24
mentally Yeah. Obviously it is completely a storage node is not historic, but it can complement. Yeah.
1:09:32
Well, I think it’s a price possibility. Well, and that’s, you know, this is not inexpensive. I just I failed to include a quote here, but it was not it was not inexpensive.
1:09:47
But compared to building something, it’s but
1:09:53
yeah, well, I think it’s something you know, we’re tossing around all the different options. So I think that’s something we could see if I don’t know in terms of fair like restrictions and adding structures within the city. So talks about when he gets back, but yeah, I mean, basically, you know, here’s this quote, We requested a quote for paving and augmenting of a garden shed. And then we could see what this looks like also, and just compare all of the options, right? The other option is up out of house as is and how much tables and chairs behind the screens in there is not, you know, it’s not original, no, it’s not functional. So that was the other thing is kind of replace something that’s not aesthetic, or original or functional, or something that is that would match the cabinetry that’s in the kitchenette, right? That is thought to be original, or at least period appropriate, was something that looks
1:10:54
Yeah, and see what we can come up with this. I think this is good idea for concrete wise and and also simplifying. I think if we put it on the concrete, you don’t have to pass out or anything, when you’re rolling it around, you can you can roll things out pretty efficiently there. Unless you’re planning on using a concrete path for something else during the functions which I can’t,
1:11:17
I can use tearing uses itself, but they would certainly would still have enough space for that. So
1:11:23
so this is one of those things that this might be the long term fix of doing it without additional expenditure in the house, in the auto house
1:11:35
or use of the space, that’s a significant change, you’re going from like foot and a half to six feet. That’s significant. That’s too much space, in historic structure. I think that space, and that’s that building is better used for clumps, events, story,
1:11:56
and that’s the purpose is used for those things. It doesn’t look like it’s trying to throw tarps
1:12:03
over. No, I recognize that we have to do something to say
1:12:07
Tommy, there. I mean, it really does tell a story about the chauffeur and his life in this separate room. And I was like, well,
1:12:19
if anybody’s available after this, it would be nice to go out and just kind of visualize and see the tables and chairs now how much space are taking up? Like how it would help benefit that space? But it’s not the only option. Right? I
1:12:37
I personally am not completely against this. I just want to flush out this other option.
1:12:41
Yeah, there see there’s a choice.
1:12:47
Knowing how much space we need to store whatever
1:12:50
story Yeah, to visualize. From there, but so I’ve got a question. So if this work with this helps, absolutely everything you need.
1:13:02
Yes, and and the existing tables and chairs that are there. And so it would have to leave.
1:13:09
And we wouldn’t have to do any put anything into the ship. Correct? what’s stored in the ship now?
1:13:16
Parks gardening items, and I checked with them and they don’t need as much space as it’s in there. A lot of it is like over winter seasonal staff that can go in the basement of the house. And they would just need a little bit of space for you know, a few things that they’re using during the season.
1:13:33
So So keeping, keeping that structure, there is a necessity, the current ship sounds like it’s, you know, keeping
1:13:41
it to a string.
1:13:44
It sounds like the ship is not necessary.
1:13:46
How necessary is the ship? Because personally I can’t stand it.
1:13:53
Remove it and then build another structure for this additional storage. Okay, is that what you mean? Yeah, let’s go out and say okay, make sense to remove it and then build some more storage? If anything, we would augment it to be this storage? Yeah.
1:14:10
Could it then be shifted, moved
1:14:11
to the parts does use it, but they could potentially shift to use the basement. But they do need some storage in there. But the question is, tables and chairs is and what they need, but possible. I hear what you’re saying. What I’m saying is
1:14:28
you can move it away from historic structure.
1:14:32
Yeah, can you if all of the tables and chairs do not fit in the shed, okay, fine, but it should be a separate, it’d be can’t be quite can’t be moved or built on to to be the bigger space that you would need, like tables and chairs. That’s where you build out the concrete.
1:14:59
I don’t know That’s what it’s a possible. Sure.
1:15:02
I mean, it’s,
1:15:03
it’s worth looking into, because a lot of options here are saying that’s, am I correct. And that’s what you’re saying is you wandered away from the structure. And then it eliminates that that space right there for the homeless people. There’s
1:15:19
a lot to it takes on. So
1:15:24
they’re back there regardless, which is another issue that we’re doing work on the screen. Anyhow. Well, that’s another separate issue. I think
1:15:36
the most, the best idea, I think, is that, take that ship and move it over onto the customer can often add on to it, whatever you need to alter it, however you need to. But it’s on the concrete pad there in that corner behind the fence, and it’s no longer up against them or up against the Harry Giles character. Well, it actually serves a purpose of, of truly storing things that you store the tables and chairs. And if
1:16:06
there’s any that any of how you alter it, it could be used as garden chair, storage shed,
1:16:14
it can be moved. I mean, you can put it on pipes and roll it over and shut it off. It’s it’s can it’s not, it’s
1:16:23
worth looking into just switching something else. Well, I mean, we want to look at all the options.
1:16:31
Absolutely. So I asked
1:16:34
that question. I don’t have to
1:16:38
worry, the show’s really not over. I know it seems like it is, but I’ve done it.
1:16:55
Okay, let’s go on to Item G, the UV protection, the library and the drapes. Yes.
1:17:03
So I met with Leslie. And she was very helpful in showing what it would look like if we paired the material down. And, and then we both were looking at it, she said, you know, here’s the thought you couldn’t just go ahead and remove the drapes, go ahead and take them down, you know, neatly pull them up and store them and see how they how it looks just without them the summer and see what you all think. Because if you can, if you get them down, you realize this is fabulous without anything, let’s just get over that, then that might be your decision she’s at or if you get them down and you’re like, you need a little something there, then we can go ahead and bring the troops back out and we can modify them then. And we can make it so that it’s not shy. We’re showing up the windows personally,
1:18:01
that it’s really showing windows, the windows themselves were beautiful. I love the space. And it feels like it brings the gardens, right? Oh, yeah,
1:18:14
all of these are fantastic. What we’re simply having a separate library, right. And that’s I will have to walk in there and take a peek. So So I think her suggestion is a good one that we could take the drinks down for the summer and see how it looks with
1:18:38
just coming back today, so we can just take those off and just put that back on for now. Next
1:18:45
concern is that you need protection. Yeah, not going to happen into September.
1:18:49
Well, well, so where we’re at with it right now is the company that’s going to actually doing the film is looking into whether they can remove the storms and get that done, or at least most of them. Because Originally we wanted Empire who created the storms, to remove them for Scottish to be able to put the UV on but they can’t do it until October. So we’re looking at having the company that’s doing the film, remove them sooner or at least do pursue that which they feel confident that they can do Scottish glass.
1:19:27
So I
1:19:29
think we might try to move forward with that they’re they’re augmenting their quote to see what it looks like for that initial work. And I also requested a quote from Empire to see how much they would charge us to do it. So we’ll compare it that way. Okay, so we’re seeing about trying to get it done sooner, but if not, at least we shouldn’t be in October. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And the curtains. I don’t know if anybody heard the curtains are just being cleaned right now, which is why they’re awful.
1:19:53
I just think it looks great. I’m
1:19:56
sorry, but just walk through there. The library It’s like, oh, yeah, it’s really
1:20:02
beautiful. And that brings the gardens. Right. And right, it really makes it the Callahan House and Garden. Yes. I mean, particularly this time of year is so beautiful.
1:20:18
Man, right? In agreement who I had to end, yeah, and take the drapes down and we need a vote.
1:20:27
I’ll make a motion, a motion that, that, that that’s what we do as vote was suggested by my Karen, unless that would take the group’s down for now.
1:20:41
And see how it looks.
1:20:48
Okay, can I second that?
1:20:52
All those in favor? Aye. Anybody didn’t? Okay.
1:20:56
Let’s carry on, Nick. China’s future restoration enrollment.
1:21:01
I’m very worried. Sorry. I’m moving.
1:21:07
The next time is future restoration and preservation.
1:21:10
I don’t know if that’s all you. Now I think can we just
1:21:16
get into? Yeah, because I do think that it is something that we need to stay on
1:21:37
you identify what needs to be
1:21:41
updated, which everybody has. The follow up also is that for CIP again, they they turned in for the reporting. And that’s the only thing I’m hoping that that means you know that it might get approved.
1:21:55
or clarification. CIP is really more of a five year
1:22:01
projects is fine here.
1:22:04
But it’s but but the other one is the annuals. One that’s in the budget, right? That is well put in there. If you have to use it for something else. It’s acceptable.
1:22:14
Yes. They’re both that so there’s the capital improvement projects, which is where we’re putting it, which is a larger, larger ticket items. Right. So that’s where we’re putting in the reporting again, right. Yeah, that
1:22:25
will get approved. And if it doesn’t, that it shows that we’ve asked several times, and we can go for Yeah, eventually, hopefully.
1:22:31
Right.
1:22:34
And the other one is the public building fund, PB 145, which is something those are large, but smaller than CIP kind of ticket items. And that is still on a five year basis. But like, let’s say we allocate, you know, in 2024, we want to choose PB 135, for such and such, but we ended up using it for this other thing, and that money does roll over from year to year. So but it has to be used for specific things that enhance the public use of the facilities, for example, this year, like the tables and chairs, it’s one of those things that we’re I hate to do you want to perfect the piano, like that. So So yeah, gentlemen, our problem, right. supplies would not only be 145? Yeah, it’s a public building, fund PBS 145. It’s already in place for you know, the one that needed to be turned in this year for 2029. But just identifying in general things that need to be done, which we’ve have done over the past few months, and are all on that list, right? I guess it’s maybe thinking about, like, what their what are their priorities? What do we want to be thinking about doing in 2024 2025? Right, so maybe has ideas on that? I guess we just keep our future agenda items. That’s update things are being worked on or if there’s things that you have, you know, that you want to prioritize them, let me know.
1:24:07
Okay, so that’s good. Okay, go to the next one, which is the past and present. Board faulty, we’ll have a meeting right after this meeting. Anybody wants to it will be
1:24:23
short and sweet. Okay, talking about the food talking about the language of day on invitation. But it’ll be really concise.
1:24:32
Yeah, I would like to, I guess, revisit a little bit like last year, it was kind of a scramble, and we ended up just purchasing food from jamais.
1:24:44
So that was rather pricey wasn’t it was
1:24:49
and so having, I guess, a plan in place this year, so that it’s important. Yeah, just so whether it’s, you know, we end up catering in house or Whatever that plan is going to be, but the Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. One idea is not a
1:25:12
labyrinth expensive thing.
1:25:13
Yeah. And ideas that are already have a major cost for that patient. Right. So
1:25:19
that’s always been in
1:25:21
for the board, ideally, to manage that, if
1:25:26
you could, with whatever help I can provide. I think one of the things that was a concern is, we’d always wanted to donate, or mentioned that we could bring in items that we personally made. Shut down. So
1:25:42
we’ve found information about our food license, and that is something that we can do. Okay, so we found out, you know, right, last year, but yeah, so you didn’t shoot him? Right. It’s
1:25:58
very, and that will make huge
1:26:00
differences, because it wasn’t like a storm, and I made it. I
1:26:07
got clarification on the way that our license works. So from Boulder County Public Health, so So yes, that is a possibility. That’s
1:26:22
wonderful, thank you so much for
1:26:24
clarifying during the meeting. Now, when we discuss it. Right after this. We’ll be moving along. And
1:26:30
then Rachel’s here. So if we’re done with the McFaul teacher now we also if you want to join us, please and then we can skip to branding to being here.
1:26:57
To see visualized.
1:27:05
Packets Good luck look like implemented in materials. Yes for you guys. Yeah. Hi, everybody. Hello. My name is Rachel, and we’re brand manager for the city of Hong Kong. I have a presentation, but we can just talk
1:27:22
for like, the old days. And a little bit about I mean, I gave some information about like what this process has looked like. But basically, you know, Rachel and I decided that we would like for Callahan to have its own brand since it’s so such an original facility within the city. And then Rachel had to go through the process of getting that approved by the city manager to move forward with a separate brand, which is a really exciting thing. And yeah, and then basically, and like I mentioned, I saw the branding for the first time when you all saw it, share it with you. So being worked on, it’s in the process, but this is an opportunity to provide feedback to Rachel for what she sees.
1:28:12
So this is the brand you guys have the brand guide that I’ve created. I’ll talk a little bit about what you have to go through to get a brand new exception for the city of Longmont. I have some examples of what the city branding is. And so basically how this started is that I am celebrating with my wedding reception on May 26. Here, congratulations. Thank you. And I, but I first before Bernie got here started talking to folks at the Callahan house, I received materials that were hand drawn and a little not exactly what we would want it to be. And I’m a graphic designer, so I could not help myself
1:29:04
like, Okay, well, this is not going to do it for me. And then this is the city branding, and so has that bright orange color and was designed to reflect the demographics of our community and not necessarily reflect the historicity of historic common llama. So this brand doesn’t feel right. I think we can all agree with that. But this doesn’t feel like a cow henhouse brand. It’s a fun little challenge for me, because how do we take this very modern organic brand, which most people don’t like, which most people don’t like? Most people do not like it. Yeah, I like it. If they go back to the reference point, right. It’s better than the old one. But a lot of folks it’s I mean, it’s blue and orange since the choice that we made before. apologize, because I should. Most people that have lived here prefer I know. Like, I have non stop that is so blah. Yeah. And it’s not historically accurate. And they, they go like the old seal better. I think I’ve heard that a lot throughout my job here. We can’t get this. So we’re making it work and how that happens? Well, I’m curious, how did that happen? Because did they get a lot of community import? I guess I don’t know. Yeah. Cuz that was that was a it was several years ago. But I have heard none stuff complaints about it’s 20. Right. So it was implemented in 2019. And there was, so I had, so that was like my first two months on the job was reading through all the documents on how they got to this point. So basically, they made the brand. And they were like, wow, this is a full time job for somebody to like steward this. And so I like learn how they got here, I went through all the focus groups, and line by line, figured out how they got there, the imagery for like, the valleys, and the mountains and the rivers and all that kind of stuff. And so then my job was basically just making it work work for us. And so there’s, yeah, there’s a huge process to get an exception from the brand. Because the number one thing with branding is consistency. So if we’re giving every department and every buddy who wants one a different logo, that kind of defeats the purpose. So we only had two until the Callahan house was let’s say, I wrote this. Okay, so there’s only next slide in the museum before Callahan house conversation started. And so in order to do that, I am the steward of the brand, I make sure that everything is implemented property properly, the city manager is the final person to say, Yay or Nay. So just even go through city council? No. It’s totally directed by the city manager.
1:32:17
Yeah. And Rachel had to put together you know, an idea for the brand in order to take it to Harold and get that approval. So that’s the process.
1:32:25
So what you have to do is you have to kind of prove that you need a different brand, which we did for Callahan house, because we have weddings here. The home is historic, our branding doesn’t match the city. And so we prove that to him. And then the second step is he need some examples before he can give a thumbs up or thumbs down. He can’t just be like, do whatever you want, right? Yeah. And so this is what I came up with. And you’ll see where we are in the process later that this is not final. So if you guys have revisions that I can make, and so some I can’t make, so if it’s not ADA compliant, there’s some rules around contrast, colors, fonts, that I can’t change, because that’s the law. And then also, it has to stay within the brand family. So I think 50. So that’s where we are. So I did the research. And I put all this stuff together and be like, This is what wedding venues do. And this, what we’re doing right now, is not good. And so the other component of my job is that the materials that we were using, not the ones that you’ve created, and also the ones that you’ve created. We’re not. We’re not they’re not ATA compliant, and they’re not branded. And so therefore, it would have been my job to be like, No, you need to use city branding. And I said, I don’t like that. So I did this. So
1:33:51
but coming from what we had, which was hand drawn, and the information
1:33:58
that was given was to read Aryan
1:34:00
veteran so we can get Rachel to do this great stuff.
1:34:11
For us, because I’ve been all over the place around the museum. Yeah, museum is the newest one. And they went through a very extensive process of trying to prove why they needed a new logo. They were denied at first, and then yes, and they were taken by, yeah. And they, they kind of just asked and didn’t put the oomph behind it that they needed to. And he was like, Well, if you’re just going to ask no. The whole research process that they should have gone through. And then they came up with this. And so you can see that this is a city planning that’s slated the museum and what I’m proposing for Callahan, though, certainly.
1:34:53
I can see it. You can see though, that’s good. Thanks. Yeah.
1:35:01
And so a part of the brand family means that they have to have some visual link, that you have to be able to tell that they belong to one another. In this case, it’s the color palette and the fonts are all the same fonts. And so they have different thicknesses, but the sorry, getting all designing the stroke, and the curvature. And the kerning is all the same. So there’s that visual consistency that goes around. They highlight different parts of our brand palette. So like the city is using the dark blues and the orange is the museum’s also using dark blue. So they have the green out front. Next slide has that teal color. I don’t like. So for Callahan house, we’ll just keep it with the blues on the logo. But then there is this pink color that I’ve also included. That’s kind of like a persimmon palette, which I thought was great. Yeah. Which I mean, yeah, we got
1:36:05
a pinkish something. Yeah,
1:36:07
something that wasn’t as harsh and yeah, and then I also included the cream. The cream is not in our brand palette for the city of Longmont. But I figured no, we would need a softer for weddings. Yeah, it’s a necessity. So these are kind of have to look like they belong together. And that’s what the city manager is looking for. When he wants to approve different things. He wants to make sure that we are not completely removing the city from this organization. And I think it’s more obvious with things like the museum and Max slate. If city taxpayer dollars are going for something, it should be obvious that it’s a part of the city. Like no question about it. They’re right for transparency. So
1:36:50
Rachel, came in hand through the gates and then turned into was there so
1:36:56
this is the these are the Callahan beats. Yeah. So this west gate over here, where there’s the French style
1:37:10
ones, and I thought that was really cool. Yeah.
1:37:12
So very cool. Oh, my, god bless my husband, he just walks around with me, I’m like, I’m gonna draw this fence.
1:37:26
We start with, okay, we need a new brand. It has to match the city branding, what else is it needs to be at and compliant, which means the contrast works. And folks with most types of sight impairments can read it. So we’re not talking about blindness, obviously, because that’s not what we’re but folks who are color blind and all kinds of stuff, cameras will still be able to see this level of contrast. It needs to be clear and concise for equity purposes. We don’t want crazy, fancy taglines that are going to be hard to translate into another language or doesn’t come across in the same tone or voice in a different language. So clear, concise language. We need alignment with the city grant I talked about in a compliment to these other logos, which was a challenge because we’re taking a Victorian house and trying to put it in a modern brand family. Yeah. Yeah. Which is, which is, yeah, yeah. So she did it. So this is what we came up with. And so I’ve been calling these the wallpapers. These like intricate designs that we used. In backgrounds essentially, were to fill space, kind of like you can see, at the beginning of the brand, we have our palette, we have the logo with the gates. And we can also use the logo. This is the linear version, it’s called without the gates. So you can have Callahan house, if you want to have it on a letterhead or something and you don’t want it like chunky the way it is. And we also have different elements that are not on this slide. But they are in the brain packet of like, that are a little more soft. There’s teapots there’s flowers saw that there’s elements that take it away from that modern bringing, but we use delicately and not as the main elements, but they can be there to soften a very modern brand.
1:39:21
would those be not necessarily near the logo, but somewhere in a communication?
1:39:28
Yeah, they’re elements. Exactly. So if you’re making a flyer, you know, you would have a logo at the top or at the bottom or something and then all these other elements can kind of fill in. So what your eye is being drawn to is the softness and not people kind of glaze over when there’s logos on the bottom and things most of the time when it’s just supposed to be like this is who it’s with. So if most of the stuff is soft, yours. So that’s what we’re going with and then here’s where we are in the process. We identified a need I know I handwrite things. And I was like, yeah. And we collected data, we went through a lot of other wedding websites. And I sat down with the city manager and showed them what they looked like, and what they did not look like the city branding. And also the fact that the branding couldn’t stay the same, because it wasn’t ADA compliant. And the materials were aging. So that’s what happened. We produce a design proposal. That’s what you’re seeing. Currently, city manager said, Yes, house manager said, Yes, input from advisory board. That’s where we are right now. And then we do revisions, if I can, if the fonts work, if the contrast is good, whatever, all that stuff. And then I have to approve it. Again, that’s easy. This time I’m doing it. So. But if you outsource that, like if you’re hiring somebody, and then we implemented so that we change all of our materials over to this new brand. And so the wedding stuff is actually almost done. And all of this is easy to tweak. So this is what Brittany would send out to her clients. And they say, Well, what’s going on? What do I have to know? And then they have these different promotional stuff, and I just stapled them on them. But the last two pages are actually two separate flyers, too. So okay, sounds very
1:41:24
impressive.
1:41:28
isn’t amazing to the city of Denver, are packed.
1:41:44
Let me get my notebook and then I’ll write down sorry.
1:41:49
Just other people’s habits that they can add on so that they can add.
1:41:53
I love to Yes. So these are things you’re working with.
1:42:01
Which is wonderful, which we had
1:42:03
Yeah, super cool way to make those connections within the community and then offer you know, that discount to our clients, it gives us more opportunity for rentals, and it gives these vendors more opportunity for
1:42:14
I guess in the past, just bringing which you may or may not be working with the vendors always came in, we improve which vendor we’re going through or on the board. Is that not true? That they were put forth
1:42:32
that you’re not limiting people to
1:42:34
just Oh, no, it’s just a special offer for our clients if people want to utilize this
1:42:42
offering that sort of thing to somebody who just wants folks are like, these are the ones we’ve worked with. Yeah, so there’s you don’t have to and they know what the systems better and therefore you’re not. Yeah. And I have daughters. Let me tell you, it’s overwhelming to like find a cure, you know, but he’s helped our clients
1:43:05
make their planning easier. And with a photographer, her like sort of trade for being her preferred is doing the styled shoot for us for free, which is huge. So to get you know, some updated material on things like that. So it’s, it’s really cool.
1:43:22
Personally, I want to thank you, I think so far, I love the flowers and certain things I understand a little better about all the hoops you’re jumping through and I these are so much better than the hand drawn things that you’ve done. But, but and the cow hen house and garden, I really liked that as the cow hen house and garden. But it’s missing the historic aspect. Okay. And that was something you know, like the city of Longmont, Colorado, and then it says, Callahan could we put historic Callahan house and garden somewhere historic somewhere in that that was one of my suggestions that branding wise that you know, even if it’s a little more flaunt above it, I know it makes it bigger, but and I liked the fact that the of the gate, but what about what was is there any way that we could incorporate the old the gate that you walk through that we’ve used in the past kind of twice but
1:44:35
I love what you did an excellent job and actually when it is out there something that has been used just for well, it’s just it has not been on a city bases like what’s your material? Color? Yeah, I don’t know if that’s even a possibility to include Have something like, color.
1:45:04
For us it is each night I find the version that I was playing around with this. I think what I came to was that it looks bad. With the monitoring, it just doesn’t go with it doesn’t go with producing a
1:45:20
lot of materials. Yeah. You know, something’s stylistic is easier to use.
1:45:24
What is this has a little because it’s more like three dimensional. Yeah, yeah. cannot be used so easily within a small plane. Let me that was the only thing I was thinking I was like
1:45:45
I don’t know, that’s the only the only thing otherwise I think I love the palette, I think it’s great. I have a better understanding now that you’re here and have spoken with us of how many hoops to jump through. And that this is something that has been needed for a long time. And I just love that it is so much cleaner. And when somebody comes in, they can hear this is it looks much more professional. Right? And the fact that we can. So you mentioned one other poops, that I’m like, what you gotta do what? That we meet all the criteria? What What was the standard that you saw, like? I said, there’s ABA compliance, that’s not negotiable. That’s all there is it has to be inside the brand family. And that is a internal thing that the city manager will not approve a brand exception if it does not exist in the brand family. And so that means that it has to keep this monitor distinct, which is, if I was just making something up, it would look very different. But since it has to be in this brand family, this is kind of what I want. There’s clear and concise for equity, we want something to translate easily. And it just has to look good with the other ones too. So you have the same college and can have the same font. But if it doesn’t look right with the other, it doesn’t mesh. Yeah. And have the clean. Yeah. Okay,
1:47:21
so maybe I just didn’t hear it. But when you’re talking about the pillar, did you say there was a possibility of just simplifying that what was fun about the flowers, maybe it was funny
1:47:34
in the branding, let me see what I can do. So I’m going to suggest that we keep the logo, just the gate, so for simplicity, but then we can add something like this as an element. So we could put it as in the background on the pages or something. So that is still like here for us to use. But then the logo and remember, we’re not blowing the logo up, it’s usually a small place right in the corner, and it can still say part of the brand family. So let me see what I can do with this. And maybe it doesn’t have to be as long as the other elements are because I definitely tweaked it a little bit with our teapots so sideline
1:48:11
just
1:48:14
my only thing is historic. If we can have historic
1:48:19
I agree. I totally agree with that was just the only I also see that the simplicity of this I think is important because we’re talking to a generation of young people involved in you know, and that
1:48:37
that sort of it can it can appeal to all it’s very basic and yes. So so yeah the styled
1:48:51
shoot that we’re doing are very contemporary couples and and styles like that because you want to make sure that you know everybody could use this as a place for anybody so
1:49:04
you don’t have where your Victorian writing dress.
1:49:09
I know I just come back from maternity leave
1:49:10
so I’m new to everything here but my only thought with the his the word historic is is that the language that you were if that’s what you’re branding this house and all your language moving forward. Like I just Googled count house and it says city of one longtail and house it doesn’t say historical and so you add historic to this that I feel has to trickle everywhere and Britney’s new phone messages manager of the historic Helena house historic him like it has to mirror in the last branding
1:49:46
and historic is inherent it’s reference on the Web Store
1:49:56
correct me it tells you when it was built they know who’s the store right
1:49:59
Yeah, maybe it’s maybe it’s there.
1:50:04
I understand that would trickle down. I completely understand that. But maybe that’s kind of my point is that there are a lot of people here in town that don’t know about the history of this. And, and again, it sets us apart. So the cow Hen House and Garden, historic Callahan house version, I
1:50:27
think that’s a decent options to incorporate
1:50:36
exactly why you’re talking to the gal that
1:50:38
doesn’t. So that’s why
1:50:42
I understand that might not get
1:50:47
the whole language around again. And so there are different logos for different occasions. So there’s the main logo, and then they’re also different letters, I believe, you may see an example of a different logo usage. Sorry to talk to me. So sometimes the museum just as Longmont Museum, and it doesn’t have these taglines on there, and sometimes it does, depending on what they’re using it for. So maybe we can have over 10 that says historic, DOD 8092 dot whatever we think is appropriate to have underneath there. But it wouldn’t be historic Kalyan house, it’s still read as Kelly would have that element of you know. That’s perfectly when when Yeah. And then that way. So when you think about it, if your letterhead is main logo gets a flyer for a community event that like has something to do with the relevance of the house Tea Party, something like that historic utility to the house? Yeah. Yeah, whatever. So that’s exactly what I’m thinking. Yeah. You said it clarifies it. Yeah. I think if we were to add that historical mishap, yes, we would have to do exactly what you’re talking about. And it will look funny. But if it’s something that you guys are really passionate about, let me pull it. Let me make this and see how you guys feel. And if you guys feel that we can work on it. We’d
1:52:18
love to see what you come up with. Yeah. Yeah, awesome.
1:52:31
job I do. I want to take talent. I just want to talk about how cool it was, I think there’s very few jobs where you like see the immediate impact. So frequently change. So like, I became homeless like a month ago now, where I came for our final walkthrough before the party. And I put these out on the table and the kid was, oh, my gosh, I started drawing and like the bar, I’ll go here and this. I was like, it’s people don’t usually get to have that kind of, you know, you’re just a cog in a machine. Yeah.
1:53:10
So it’s been very, that’s really cool for us, even just like the new graphs.
1:53:17
Is to me is amazing. Again, thank you for all the work. And I would love that idea that we could bring in historic element somewhere. So it ties into the past. Do you have a digital version? Can you send it to Yes. And I understand that it’s not clean, or it is. But but if we can compassus?
1:53:45
sneak a little history in the modern.
1:53:48
Let me clean up the lines. Let me do stuff. Let me make it a vector image. So you can scale it without getting pixelized. And then I don’t have a problem with you. Yeah. And from all you’ve done here, again, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for being open to any. It’s always a part of the process. We just don’t want to be the I have been in meetings where they’re like, What should we do? And then oh, yeah, it’s very hard to like. Yeah, so let me bring something
1:54:34
have the ability to make some quick modifications to the Yeah.
1:54:37
Okay. So
1:54:38
on the first floor. I actually changed entry to foyer because that’s what we call it. I don’t know if you want to make that official correction, because we’ve got parlour we’ve got music room, we’ve got library. I think you may want to put foyer because we call it what we
1:54:56
call okay. Is that is that one of those things that is not modern enough? No, that’s I’m worried about the aesthetic. I’m not worried about the content of things based on what I sent her. So all of this was just a first draft.
1:55:14
So I just thought oh, so the, the using WC as a water closet, right? That’s an actual closet. The laboratory. Okay. Yeah. They’re removed this year. Yeah. Yeah. Enclosed porch is what we refer to it in the tour guide. So if we’re wanting to be consistent, yeah, language, I would recommend that enclosed porch as opposed to sleeping porch, you know, that first floor. So that was just first floor. Laboratory there, and that’s on the second floor. Rather than having rental suite, I think that we decided we needed to go to the restroom. And that was so that we were more appropriate with the language for
1:56:06
today. We can have to know what
1:56:11
for equity, I see. Yeah.
1:56:13
Because we were like what we’re told you can be. Yeah, you identify maybe
1:56:21
one speed. And then you have a version that says guests.
1:56:26
I mean, the guest room is what we refer to it in the tour guide, just so you know. Okay.
1:56:29
But, however, because we want it to be clear that this is Get ready to space. Yeah, right, whoever
1:56:36
and then also just have one that says guestroom for tours, that they’re handing these out to tours, you know, we can have two different versions of like the wedding version and, or if that’s
1:56:46
the origin that it kind of says okay, so we do want people to know like mostly we’re going to be hitting these out for potential clients right? We have correct the other ones that are already on the handout for the open houses. So I want to make it clear that addressing you when you’re up there
1:57:08
with the change happened, it wasn’t my idea. Was that say you have a To Do men? Yeah,
1:57:19
just for equity. So
1:57:20
we why don’t we just say dressing room? Yeah, yeah. So is that mean your communication coming from me? Regardless of what it says? Well, yeah, it could be unlabeled and you’re like this space? Yes. Dressing room or whatever. So yeah. I like dressing rooms pretty generic. Yeah. And then
1:57:40
that works to her like any other type of event that’s not a wedding. Yeah, it’s a private space for whoever so insert
1:57:48
exception for something there
1:57:54
and then and then we refer to this as meeting room but you may be marketing as well. From
1:58:00
Molly Brown I just think like ingrained in my head that it’s long run but I I do refer to it as I like sleeping because there’s no explorers meeting but this was
1:58:21
stairs to the laboratory. This one is a salad
1:58:31
and then the sleeping great
1:58:35
changes easy peasy as recipes
1:58:40
the suggestions are so that I haven’t done anything you
1:58:43
can just say that we made edits to the Yeah.
1:58:47
Okay, yeah, the big ones are historic and then minor vocabulary to add a quick shake. That’s a great question. I didn’t know if what people know what a rectangle there means. So like it’s on this outline up to do folks know, would you if I label this what would I label this? I guess where it go? Yeah, that’s what we refer doing is for me to be labeled as
1:59:19
Puerto che. Por te Si.
1:59:26
Si O si HR
1:59:28
in because she is the historian go with what Karen says that’s kind of where I’m from you that work because for me, because it does tie in.
1:59:42
portico be Italian. Is that what you’re saying? I’m French.
1:59:47
I’m Cecilia but not
1:59:55
well, and we don’t want people using it anyway. So yeah. either my orchard
2:00:08
This is called the gazebo correct SIBO
2:00:23
that go out here and this is right off of the wraparound porch which okay yeah, that should be fine because that’s the library. And then this is like this is that
2:00:43
this is music group and right here you’re to go out onto the wraparound porch this is really where the stairs for sure some people don’t go to change any other feedback for violations are you there that was like like this? Yeah,
2:01:10
I think we made a I made a choice. We so I’m married already. So we had our we had our ceremony we did it justice to and beautiful is lovely. We were on a trip. So we’re done. So like the like emotional this needs to be my special moment isn’t a thing anymore. You know? Right. I have it already. So that was just a party. But then it means I had to do two sets of plans. So now I make at the end of the second day given and I’m tired. And then my mom comes on Friday for two weeks, so I will be more tired. Celebrating hard work. Gosh, yeah. Yeah,
2:01:50
somebody’s got to do it. Yeah.
2:01:53
I’m so it’s so important to get married.
2:01:59
Thank you so much for coming to share. Face.
2:02:07
And feel free to email me it’s Rachel dot Moyer. And I think it’s somewhere somewhere that I can email. And always feel free to ask questions. You can always if you’re like, Is this okay? This is design work. And I can be like, most of us if you’re using this stuff. But, um, yeah, when you go broke, when you’re ready to go broke anymore. So you don’t need to just fly by the seat of my pants. And then if it ever happens that you need a new math you need something comes up or you need some kind of material that you’re like, This is out of my realm, you know, it’s just become students mentioned me because I did it before. And they’ll Yeah, they’ll assign it to me again. Thank you. Wonderful. Thank you so much. This is very exciting. And who knew that we all had to be so modern? Yeah. I know. Some people love it. Some people hate it. And to me, that’s my job
2:03:17
thank you
2:03:25
should do that more often?
2:03:29
And more minutes. 10 minutes. Okay. Okay, you can keep meeting but I
2:03:34
don’t think there’s anything to freeze easy.
2:03:39
really skilled, but pretty fast. Right
2:03:41
here. Yeah.
2:03:42
I think there was any other items from staff that you wouldn’t let go in. We have do you have any yourself? So we’re workers and so what yours? Oh, yeah, no, no, I’m just trying to clean up.
2:03:58
There’s something she needs to do before she leaves. Okay.
2:04:00
Okay. Okay. So.
2:04:03
Okay, for items, nothing stuff. Art will not. But there may be.
2:04:09
Yeah, we’re going back up to new business. Artwalk 2024. So
2:04:14
I already have the musician from for the Mr. Bonner, Otto is going to be doing the music again. And he’s allowing us to piggyback and giving going to help spread the news by using his email list to promote the event as well. So So Montserrado and he they they really musicians from last year they they
2:04:45
did the jazz music and like he
2:04:47
has a quite a huge following of a group of people. And so if we use his email list as well, hopefully our members will be back up. Now. I have been trying to Work on getting artists. As you’re aware, I’m not going to be here for that event, because that happens to be the same day as my niece is
2:05:09
my granddaughter’s wedding setup
2:05:11
helping convenient of her. Yeah, that’s the plan before I got signed up for this one. So
2:05:19
n equals, we want to put together a committee. Yeah,
2:05:21
I really would like to have more people. Besides Karen, I know, you have volunteered that we’re going to work on this. But yeah, I would like more people to input in. I think that from what we have spoken about in the past, we’d really like to have more or less than what we
2:05:40
build the garden. which people can bring the pop ups to, and
2:05:50
let’s make it go big
2:05:51
or go home. Yeah, and I also want a change from recent years is people need to supply their own stuff. So we’re not gonna run pop ups and things like that. Yeah, we have some easels and tables and chairs in the house, we’ve got some tables that could potentially be used, but mostly people need to supply their own stations. So okay, yeah. If whatever we have can be used, but we’re not going to rent additional items. Right. And this event is costing us there’s not a table fee to provide their own stuff.
2:06:23
I think that’s a great idea. And then Britney also shared with me that she contacted the organization person.
2:06:36
Oh, yeah. The firehouse we’ve paid our sponsorship for this year, yes. Things Not just sponsorship level that we’ve done in the past. And then we’ll be featured on the map. As a sponsor, and as a location for artists.
2:06:49
Are we going to reiterate with them, in addition to put their logo on our things? Because they’re working with us on that? Yeah,
2:06:58
I mean, they’re not sponsoring us. We’re sponsoring them.
2:07:03
We’re sponsoring them. But is there any way that
2:07:07
I mean, for us to put their logo on like our donor list?
2:07:09
Have they done anything with
2:07:12
them, as opposed to the other way? Right? So if you use our logo on their stuff,
2:07:18
I know, but is there any way that we can do it as a dual thing where we’re,
2:07:22
Oh, I see if since we’re donating, and they want to be they want to join our donor program? Yeah. Once that’s formulated, I think we could we can send it out to various people that we have partnerships with in the community and see if they’re interested. That’s good. That’s what I want. Gotcha.
2:07:38
And I got on my calendar for September the 14th. Correct sound right. Yeah.
2:07:48
You do. This big wedding when your day? Yeah,
2:07:51
September. It is September in June.
2:07:53
So do we need to get a committee together
2:07:56
to work on this? Yeah. So far, the only people on the committee are you and I, okay. You I in Britain? Really? Not really. So I’ll be helping with stuff. But anybody else that would like to step forward and
2:08:14
dissipating a new member of
2:08:17
the cabinet? Unfortunately,
2:08:19
not. So Rebecca, that joined our meeting? Yeah. Very interested. She didn’t apply. But since she just moved back here from out of the country, she’s not you have to be registered for the only thing keeping good. That’s a bummer. Good.
2:08:41
Just right, turned off by No, she’s
2:08:43
not interested in qualified yet. It’s a bar. So hopefully next year, and that was our only applicant. So
2:08:51
we need to work
2:08:52
is to keep spreading the word. Okay. So at this point, it would be for next year because the application process for somebody starting in June, as
2:09:00
soon as they would open up another window.
2:09:03
It’s it’s, you know, five layer
2:09:05
ahead. I was like begging everybody. Yeah, reach out to everyone you know, you know, ask them to volunteer. We need more volunteer
2:09:13
this point somebody concert in January.
2:09:16
So I should ask, I wouldn’t I wish I didn’t. I wish I didn’t because I would have asked for them at that time.
2:09:21
So I’m sure I’m getting an exception. We get
2:09:24
an exception having a vision for
2:09:29
this year. So anyway, yeah,
2:09:31
that’s about it. So so back to that Artwalk real quick. Yeah. When did anyone to
2:09:37
set a meeting? And then we can join?
2:09:40
Yeah, yeah. This is one of the biggest events of the year. So
2:09:46
one person, I really want to get going on this. Serena, wait, how long are you going to 14 days, so I won’t be back until and you And then I’ve got a hiccup because I’ve got a major surgery in July as well. So so we
2:10:05
need to nab you in June.
2:10:06
Yeah, we need to
2:10:08
work on it probably about you for me when in June.
2:10:12
And is June too late? That’s so I’m gonna put out there right now. Start. If you have artists or any friends that are artists that would you think would be interested, please reach out to them for it with that date for September, and let them know that there’s availability so we can start bringing artists in because we have to have, I’m like with Britney, I like to fill the space. So people we get a much bigger crowd here. Yeah. And we’re talking
2:10:44
visual only or visual music. Well,
2:10:50
music is taken care of, unfortunately. Okay, so that’s our setup. So music or fortunately, yes. You
2:10:57
say fortunate. Fortunate. Right. He’s
2:10:59
really good. And and he’s so dynamic in the sense that, that he was abandoned structures. So he’s got large volume people. But jewelry or artists in any kind of medium that you can
2:11:18
vending, you know, something, I guess it is a product that can be sold. Right? Okay, so yeah, exactly. There’s a place I mean, even that has to do with art in the community that sells like a membership or something like that is still a commodity that can be
2:11:35
purchased, too. But we’ve also, we’ve also talked about people that that do, visually, like sculptors and stuff like that don’t necessarily have large pieces to sell, but could put a display instead show is how, like Tim Kane’s good example. He has been sculpture pieces for the schools and for both schools here in town. He’s personally under contract and see if maybe he could set up and discuss how he goes through the process and an educational piece type of thing. Yeah, that’s interactive with the community is key. But mostly for selling purposes. If we found shown, you’re planning to
2:12:16
contact, do we have a list of the people that we’re here to contact the people from previously? That’s, with the exception of maybe we talked about not including stores any longer than this
2:12:30
other red door? The right door was difficult to use a lot of space didn’t sell a tremendous amount. Yeah, I
2:12:38
think trying to focus on individual or SOC better. Yes, very. So that would be my suggestion, I would contact everybody that’s been here before that would be interested. And
2:12:49
I am reaching out the East border County Arts Alliance group is having their big open houses where they they have artists at different houses and walk through so I got that whole list and I’m going to contract. Almost everybody was Yeah, that’s great.
2:13:07
That’s good. So
2:13:09
but again, so looking at calendar wise
2:13:18
are the so we’ve got the committee meeting for the club’s survey and the donor program for Bretton wood, this maybe take priority over some of those things and change change some of that time to what it is I go to this instead. Like maybe the club survey, because we want the membership or the donor program to be available for the July open house. Club survey. Could be the same day time or Yeah, add another.
2:13:51
Yeah. Does that
2:13:55
open all day? So
2:13:55
if we could do that, but if he cannot really everybody about sharing information on what it is and what we’re going to be doing and that
2:14:03
type of stuff? Does that work the same, so add another add four times to the three hours for three topics next day. Next Friday, May 7,
2:14:17
which we’ve already put time on the
2:14:20
web survey, the donor
2:14:22
program and Arbok if you’re not coming back for another meeting, it’s all on one shafts if you prefer to do that
2:14:27
kind of one camera, that would work better for
2:14:31
my schedule as well. Okay,
2:14:32
if everybody’s okay, Karen,
2:14:35
are you alright with that? Or is that
2:14:36
2017 is Sam’s Yeah, so it’ll be that three I
2:14:42
honest that day, I’m feeling a little overwhelmed.
2:14:46
So first meeting will be closer to a second meeting. First task will be closer my second task will be dollar Donor Program. And the third task will be our walk for registering gun in your backpack starting
2:14:59
at 9am Am
2:15:00
I think at this point we should?
2:15:03
Nine to noon instead? Yes, please. Okay
2:15:12
I’ll be here. I’m gonna go. I’m sorry. I have to leave. No, thank you but I want you to know for let everybody know what you want. Yeah, that was on my loudspeaker in your Yeah, so bear with me here for the June meeting. I will not be here. Okay. Are you getting something fun? My cousin’s wedding in North Carolina?
2:15:35
Okay, that’s good. Cool. Thank you for staying outside Raleigh. Yeah. So in Carrboro. So, thank you. Thank you guys. And I am. Oh, okay. Good to know. No worries. Yeah. Thank you. Okay, I’m so glad that we’re gonna do that all in one meeting.
2:16:01
That’s the cool thing. Thank you. Okay, on to the next thing, which is the piano.
2:16:07
Yay, piano. Yeah, so it’s the purchase is the cheque is on its way to BB Lewis, who is the seller. And she originally posted it for $3,000. But offered it to us for 750 was the fun. Yeah, it’s all set up with the movers. The folks that did all the hard work for us to get this oven into the house. Also have done historic piano moves. So they’re going to do that for us. They’re picking it up from BB on May 24. And delivering it to Fred Gogi. Who’s going to do the restring and just also see if there’s anything else that it needs? Yeah, so very excited that he’s involved in that.
2:16:53
His outfit.
2:16:56
Go VPN? Oh, yeah, go, Hey, go. Hey, Gio h e n, okay.
2:17:01
And humans are slimmed down, or,
2:17:03
yeah, he’s, it takes care of assignment for us and all that. So he’s gonna have it for probably two or three months. And then we’ll have the same company, move it to Callahan house, eventually, what’s happening to you? Great question. Right now it is up for there’s something within the city called up for grabs. And he’s basically an email that goes out to all like city administrators, to let them know that this is available. And there’s kind of a three tiered process, but right now, it has to start by going through up for grabs, which means it has to be used somewhere within the city. And realistically, the chances of anybody wanting it within the city, I can’t think of least use it. You know, it’s just been on there for a week or so. I think after it’s on for two weeks, then I can move it to being available for auction. So the city does an auction process, which is like a wider open space thing, just and then there’s like a third. If it doesn’t sell function, I can’t remember what that is. But yeah, so we’ve got a few months to try to get rid of it. Thank you, Brian. Hopefully, well, yeah, hopefully interested in it. If they’re not, I asked the movie company if they might, if it if the other one is coming in, and this one’s still here. They’re gonna move it into the auto house for us for now. I hate to just like throw stuff in there, but you have to do something with it. So that’s it. We have several months to happen. But that’s like, worst case scenario. Worst case, you know,
2:18:38
so could happen because well, we’ll see. There’s no way that we can donate it to somebody will see the problem. They want
2:18:49
restrictions with this city about just That’s my general donation, which is a bummer. But then
2:18:55
is through what are the restrictions that we could
2:18:59
just say? Yeah, like I can’t just post it on Craigslist right now or something. You can
2:19:03
send it out on the sidewalk and say no, free.
2:19:06
You can’t bring it on. Big item day.
2:19:11
Maybe, I mean, that just feels so wasteful. But yeah. This is what I knew was going to be a challenge. Yes. So
2:19:21
consider reaching out to one 800 got junk. And the reason I say that is because while they don’t just take these they repurpose things and so that oh is worth yeah yes. But
2:19:41
yeah, they don’t all do them. No, they don’t. But one of the local one does does
2:19:51
a good way to do it. So yeah, we’ve got some time to figure it out. Luckily, but it needs to go through this process first and then we can’t get rid of it through the city process. Since then well
2:20:03
sell everything or something.
2:20:07
You can call them and talk to them. They’re great user services before and they are fantastic.
2:20:17
They’re great. And then did they sell it? I don’t
2:20:20
really know what? Donate it. Yeah. Yeah. Great. Is
2:20:25
it a nonprofit? No,
2:20:26
it is a for profit business. But
2:20:31
they repurpose it.
2:20:33
So you pay, you pay them to take it away. That’s
2:20:37
typically acceptable. Yeah, yeah. Right.
2:20:40
Here’s the deal. But if we’re gonna move in anyway, that seems like a better Yes.
2:20:47
To the auto. Yeah. There’s a little plaque. It was donated by a group.
2:21:00
But are they okay with the fact that we’re going to it doesn’t move? Yeah, I know. I’m just curious, do they have a reason to change it?
2:21:12
I don’t really want to go there. I think no, I’m not saying
2:21:15
that we would make a point of telling them but if they already kind of knew or will know. I’m just asking if I don’t know
2:21:23
what their involvement is with that. I mean, they’re not
2:21:28
well, they know like, oh, good says, Yeah, I’ll do it. Just wanting to get rid of it. Getting you know, donated. It’s just pictures of it. Yeah. I grew up
2:21:41
in like 1965. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And per hour now is as soon donation agreements, trying to be more stored, do whatever.
2:21:53
I really didn’t think it would stop us from doing anything. I’m just curious. Yeah. And everything else we think about. And yeah, and be sensitive, just like it softens.
2:22:08
Don’t really like the house anymore.
2:22:09
They do. Yeah, they do. I don’t know what it is. So we’re not reaching out right now. They’re not on our list for club affair. So I Yeah. Yeah.
2:22:19
So So that’s
2:22:20
whatever. Okay, excellent. That sounds great. We are moving down to Item eight items from the board. Staff. We are Yeah, I already asked them in line
2:22:34
with Kristen just discussed, okay. I wanted to share stats from the open house, which was very successful. 117 people attended, which is great, because last year, we had 17 people attended.
2:22:55
That was more people. That’s amazing. And in
2:22:58
defense last year, there was no advertising, which we banned managers and you know, what was the Senate when he sat down for the for the open spring open house on April 25. And I advertised it in pretty much every way that was possible, including the chamber Visit online and the woman downtown district Furbo. Like what can happen when we
2:23:22
work gets out?
2:23:23
So there are 85 people in the first hour 28 in the second hour and four in the third hour. So the dates and times for the rest of this year are kind of already set but I’m thinking next year we might want to think about just doing a two hour time slot and save three hours. Yeah. So yeah, for July it already is what it is. But we’ve been just just have our back or, or Yeah, whichever way Yeah. And maybe you know, maybe that’s just for the spring open house in July is busy for all three hours. But good information for the guy. Yeah, well, it’s the city has a lot of avenues that make it really easy. So it’s good. We got $25 in cash donations, $65 in merchandise sales, and 34 new email signups great. So
2:24:15
that’s amazing. Thanks for coordination.
2:24:21
Just couldn’t was hitting the wall. Yeah, no worries. No, it was I mean, it was certainly plenty manageable with
2:24:28
at first, but yeah, it moved along. It was good. Yeah. Thank you.
2:24:32
Um, exciting news. That happened very quickly. I did not expect to this but the gazebo now has electricity. Yeah, it’s so happened that we had put in a request for a quote for it. And they actually the company that the city uses Rosa electric had to come out to do some electric because we had to get a new water heater, which is also in place. And so they were able to just do that at the same time so there’s a little outlet box on the gazebo now cool, which is exciting.
2:25:05
Oh my gosh, are we gonna purchase lights to
2:25:07
go that leads into my next thing. Oh. So the last page of the packet is within context on page deck is about lights for the garden. That’s what that is. grill so yeah, so there’s going to be lights in the gazebo which is not pictured here, but we’ll there’ll be like something Zeebo. And then we are going to be which is really exciting. It’s very much needed for weddings, and garden events in general, but putting market streetlights out in the main garden. In the south,
2:25:45
I’ve always wanted that. It’s like you’re reading my mind out there and said, oh, we need lighting. So what it really looks like
2:25:53
is going to be streetlights kind of in a zigzag here. So the pink is the existing lampposts. And what we need to do in order to make this happen, because we don’t want anything wrapped on the trees for the health of the trees, so I don’t want to attach a wrap anything on the trees, as requested by Parks and in person want to go along with that is they’re going to install two more posts, the blue
2:26:19
ice is two additional posts,
2:26:20
or they just play surf weights.
2:26:23
Well there go. So at first they’re going to be posts. But eventually, maybe next summer, I think, or maybe the fall, they’re going to match the existing lamps. And they’re going to be so it’s going to be a replica replica, right to use this. For now just post but then eventually get them electrify. So they’ll hook it up so that they the electric is there. And they can add the lamp heads later, only because that’s going to take them some time to source it. And we need to is done by original studying, which is in a few weeks. Right. So yeah, with your blessing. This is happening next week. Open every single word, but it’s really exciting. I mean, I think
2:27:08
it’s timing
2:27:09
the weddings to know, but
2:27:13
felt like last year there was a wedding on September 30. And you know, and I’m o’clock at night people were trying to look at their stage and it’s very, very needed. It’s very exciting. So this will be the market lighting and then if Zeebo So, yeah, and we got a couple of different quotes for that a couple of different ideas about how to put it together and these folks could do it without using the trees. And it’s going to be a permanent installation and they can, you know, do maintenance on it as needed. And they could do the whole thing that installed electric the whole shebang. So
2:27:50
we didn’t have any issues during
2:27:52
winter months or anything there so the lights that they’re using are all weather all season of course you know, there’ll be maintenance over time which I can help us with right so yeah, it’s beautiful. And I think with most minimum impact to like existing you know, nothing is attached to the house
2:28:13
it’s not
2:28:14
gonna affect the fountain or area No,
2:28:17
it’ll all be over had back here area Yeah,
2:28:22
I’m very it’s very needed
2:28:24
honestly like as a venue
2:28:29
set walk in the garden last summer. That was one of the things I’m like we might think it’ll help with
2:28:36
security and some like issues that we’ve been having like unhoused persons you know, I tried to make encampments dual benefits a couple of the brides are like just beyond ecstatic about it and so it’s very exciting doing a lot to kind of leave work on upgrading our venue status while still you know, maintaining and highlighting the historic
2:29:01
aspects of
2:29:02
sojourn
2:29:06
that’s going to call attention to people coming around who we have even noticed the how exactly the lighting lighting right away sort of looks like for ya, venue store.
2:29:27
And we’re also the company that does the lighting for Roosevelt Park for the holidays is looking into adding Callahan house to their list and we checked with the historic preservation commission and also with Anna cleave from History Colorado about the best way to go about doing that, you know, like what they can use that protects the structure and doesn’t make any permanent alterations of any kind. And there are some good options for that so Oh, that’s amazing. For Christmas, just for the holidays, you know, to like I My accent the gables and everything.
2:30:04
Beautiful, just like oh great. That’s amazing. No, I’m gonna laugh because mind blowing the Galba always wanted to have the do our stuff over
2:30:29
who’s the past board member and I’m blanking on her name. And, and and when love that. Would we could could we do lighting on the on the auto house as well?
2:30:40
Sure. Yeah. People
2:30:45
just weren’t she always wanted to see in the auto Oh on and off of it. No. So they go in so
2:30:57
she always wanted to do we could do cash it would be well we’ll see what
2:31:05
we’ll say, well, that’s wishful thinking. Okay, we got to think moving forward, positive.
2:31:12
And then started real quickly, the postcards that marine brought that were from the friend of yours. I’ve sent the I’ve sent an image of those to legal to see what we need to do or can do to make reproduction to sell at the open houses. That’s
2:31:27
amazing. And that was a year back. That was some cells of wife
2:31:33
fairly. She’s she’s she’s
2:31:35
looking at legal. Okay. Yeah, she does.
2:31:39
archeological digs and stuff. And she was wondering, you know, where the original outhouses and stuff are here. Yeah. She She said that she might volunteer to help us figure out certain things on the property. Amazing. And that so through historic context, she got that would you know whose we’re building this this? And she said, Absolutely. We just Yeah.
2:32:05
And they’ll I mean, that kind of stuff sells like crazy used to do ones like historic postcards of Chautauqua. And they just sell like they sell
2:32:12
those things, because they really do
2:32:15
a little keepsake, you know. So anyway, looking into how to go about doing that. Thank you. Yeah. And then just as Kristen said, I’m not going to be at the June meeting. So you know, obviously, we get the packet and all of that stuff. And Christina will be here. And I’ll send along some notes for any of the items that I’m working on. can just go Yeah. Is that it? That’s it. Yeah.
2:32:37
No, you’re good. Okay, then we now we’re moving on to Item eight. I do from four. I’ve got something
2:32:48
I do. I’m very excited about this. So as you know, I’m on the Questers, my vice president of our chapter, and they’ve reached out our State Board has reached out to us with historic funds. And we put out a large grant that would be open for different projects, and what would we be interested in? And I propose that we could use those funds to redo this table and chairs. And so I’m going to be writing for that grant. And hopefully, we can use it for the historic restoration of the table. Right? So
2:33:34
I’m certainly in conjunction with Sansa ray that. Many months ago, they came in said that they had some money that they wanted to donate to Callahan house and blood project would be something that we want to do. So I just suggested the dining set. And I think that Connie, and I’m blanking on the president of the other chapter, but they wanted to work together to pool funds to
2:33:59
pay. And the bottom line is it’s one fun. Yeah, it’s coming from the the overall state p&l historic, because questors has certain funds that we do, and it’s all for historic preservation. And we have funds in the state fund that has to be used for preservation. So they were trying to figure out where we’d like to use those. And so I’m going to grant Thank you, I don’t know that it’s conflict of interest, but because it’s all for the historic preservation of the house. But I’m very excited about that. And I’m going to be looking into we did some historic chairs, and that was done through Denver, and seeing if I can, you know, get some ideas on how much money and I’ve asked Karen’s help, as well. So for ideas, yeah, because I’ve written grants, but she wrote the big one for this house and she’s got all the info. So that’s I’m very excited about that
2:35:07
request a quote, you know, so you have an idea about how much we need for it. I don’t know that if anybody has an idea of a vendor, that would be helpful, because empire, you know, we kind of go through them and then see who they know and can reach out to you. But I don’t suffer, I haven’t really gotten any better benefits on that
2:35:26
I have a vendor that we use for the chairs, he’s rather slow. So I’m gonna keep on trying to reach out to him at the historic award and pitching
2:35:36
ideas, send me information of vendors, so I can reach out for quotes so that we know
2:35:43
how much there’s a list. There’s a list of vendors that the historic History Colorado recommends. And that’s what all the Okay, well just use those direct vendors.
2:35:57
Okay. Is that means that we can get like a, I can reach out for an official quote, that’s the state pond? Is that History Colorado?
2:36:07
No, it is. It’s Questers. And there’s also a notice state
2:36:12
questors organization.
2:36:15
OBS is called the p&l for preservation. And it’s all we use funds, we’ve restored buildings throughout Longmont and we’ve also restored the museum piece in birth it and throughout the state. There’s various different buildings and the Stanley home, we donated for their dining room to be redone. The wallpaper and everything. It’s all about historic preservation.
2:36:48
That’s great. I just didn’t know what the organization was.
2:36:51
And then I’m hoping this might open the door for possibly more funding to come from the national community. We’ll
2:37:00
see what we can do. Thank you. Yeah. So I really have an impact on that. And I would like to.
2:37:14
Yeah, and I’d like to mention also like, I’ve kind of changed some procedural things so that this space is getting used less for rentals, because I think it’s important for the overall preservation of it. So especially for weddings, we’ve changed the way that we just do sort of like the cake cutting and things like that. There’s no reason that this space needs to be used for that, like, you know, outside. Yeah. Because we were moving in now all the time, like the bottom, you know, has got a lot of problems. You can just it’s getting too much use so I’m kind of trying to change things procedurally for it to not be used as much during private rentals. Just to help with all that especially after restoration. Yeah, so
2:37:55
So that was my my, who was
2:37:58
very, very one.
2:37:59
You might later so newts, antique refurnishing. champions on Caroline road.
2:38:07
KB n u.
2:38:08
T. E. S.
2:38:10
Taman House news. Yeah,
2:38:12
I think I have. I have to I have demand right.
2:38:19
Now, I wonder if he’s still restoring Well, that’s
2:38:21
why just Google that came out. He’s only he was
2:38:25
he was getting older. And I think he was slowing down. I don’t know if he’s still restoring. So that’s
2:38:31
one of the things is fabulous if he
2:38:33
if he is or maybe can refer us to someone else’s rise, admire, see
2:38:40
and say I want to I’m having my historic law, freedom. It’s
2:38:45
calendar clock and
2:38:46
the gentleman that used to do it here in town to anyway, he had health issues, and he stopped restoring clocks. And so he recommended to place up in Superior, not as passive superiors. Up 70 in the mountains someplace, and but he’s a wonderful person that I’m working with. So yeah, that’s the problem. Some of these people that are we do have restore things for years. There
2:39:17
might be a time and to try to find people. And I also reach out to Elise sets. I was just dissatisfied with the st. Grand Historical Society because they have people who mentors who come in for that. Could you contact just cheering for Congress
2:39:38
with no, that would be great. The one morning I can’t remember Oh,
2:39:46
I apologize. But what I’m getting my point is that they’re aging out and trying to find people that
2:39:54
that yeah, the vendors that come into the store at festival and pumpkin pie days. None of these would be the one would have all of their contact. So should they go get perfect?
2:40:09
Next weekend, I believe, Saturday and Sunday
2:40:13
that fairgrounds oh my gosh, it’s happening. I’m and I’m Sarah escaping my whole front yard moment and through resource and I just got all my plants picked up for grabs in the box, and it’s going really well, but I’m a little overwhelmed. So are
2:40:36
you getting grass? Completely
2:40:38
to grass? That is a lot of work. At least on the front. That’s great. My puppies would hate me and Richard
2:40:49
can throw a Frisbee one more agenda item. So yeah, sorry. Word board. Yeah, it’s the stones roof. This week, just this month because it’s sort of on topic. I chose the autumn house. Yeah, yeah. So knowing that the autumn house was built in 1904 included a turntable built on the floor ceiling was decorated 10 apartment above the auto pass provided to room living quarters, which were originally connected to the lower floor by an interior staircase and also had a call button who also the chauffeur could be summoned from the main house. And then of course, after being gifted by time analysis in 238, the auto has served men and first off starting on or about making use of Manchester United City Council approved plans allowing the committee to proceed with work so this addresses the whole question of who is the truth. So this is from also the castle minutes and they approve plans allowing a committee to proceed with work to modify the automobile house for museum modifications including removal of the turntable floor and installation of oak flooring, the interior stair moves the window in the rear East really remove all of that out get this Tuesday. Okay. Remove all the original double doors on the west side of the building and installation of a CD store. That was as of the honor about May 27 1939 Best Women’s Council previous plans to now as of March 26 1948. It was done remodeled, redecorated, and the floor covered with linoleum. So anyway, going forward and July 15 of the same year 1940 Longmont Pioneer Museum was the first museum open to the public for the first time. So and in 1954. So basically, 14 years later in the space, we became a problem that museum was growing, and so the museum moved to the basement of the Sainte Marie Memorial Building. So thereafter, it’s kind of late 50s 60s. And definitely, as of March of 1971, it was the home to the landmark Chapter of the American Red Cross. Then in 1978, Boulder County legal aid offices, held the building as an office until 1982. Then thereafter, the building was vacant for three years due to a quote read tad on boiler,
2:43:38
some sort of
2:43:41
issues that may cause that to go no more anything in that building. But then in the summer of 1985, the state green Historical Society undertook extensive renovation of the building in return for a 20 year lease to use the building for an office. Renovation included removal of the linoleum to reveal oak floor. The 10 ceilings were preserved and attempt to preserve the Victorian flavor of the building and furnishings followed students that it looks unfinished table once used by the Callaghan’s was rescued from the basement of the house and restored which and then chauffeurs records at work on some of the later vehicles were discovered and preserved. And then after the sacred Historical Society that could the building. After the end of the lease, the automobile house was remodeled in May of 2005. To date, so little history about the house.
2:44:43
Do we have a picture of the turntable? No, I guess that’s what people over and over. Yeah.
2:44:55
I asked. I asked Eric Mason, you see Yeah, because they were the first and no, I’ve looked through old city records, you know, I looked for, I don’t even look for permits to try and see if there was a permit pulled in and you know, anything to attach, you know, so that was so so sadly
2:45:18
or any disobedience given
2:45:27
what do you mean, for any designs given to city council on what would what I hope removal?
2:45:35
So I was really sad about that the only thing I have is a picture from another example of a turntable. And I don’t know that. I mean, I can certainly keep looking. I can certainly keep looking. But no, nobody, you know, nobody pause to to capture history and say, Okay, before and after. And I think we’re better at that nowadays, obviously.
2:46:11
Fortunately, that because, honestly, on my wish list if we could ever locate one, because that’s what people would like to see what it looked like. Yeah, yeah. When when we do the tours here. That’s one of the things I’m asked over and over again, can we see it? Yeah, and unlike, unfortunately, no.
2:46:33
Like to have smart and general things around that talk a little bit more about the history of the house. They are not a museum. But I think we can incorporate some of those elements in a sort of a more permanent way that doesn’t affect the aesthetic of the home. But yeah, people visiting can get some information without having to take an official tour. I guess just posting something like that information that hearing is shared in our house. And some photo there was a photo, I guess at one point, like the original fireplace, just so yeah, words around
2:47:04
original fire, fireplace, and then we have a tile that was removed. And we have the tile
2:47:11
if Yeah, put it together, put some like, yeah, it’s more of like displays around long term goals, is to have some things like that. And then that helps us to get out some people
2:47:26
you’re going to. So here’s it, here’s a it’s like my it’s just a copy from the ledger from 1927. And this is an example of what a turntable look like and in that time to know Callahan but that
2:47:50
that’s better than including something says an example of the time.
2:48:00
Anyway, in doubt, yes, I will. So at least we can direct them to it and say this is what it looked like. Because I think their mind they’re thinking, Well, how would that work? If you had a turntable? Where’s, where’s the Barlet turns in that they can’t visualize it. So beautiful significance? fighting to keep it
2:48:22
usable? You’re some enemies. And that’s also my purpose. And I
2:48:29
don’t want to make it storage either like that. The point is, it is storage right now. And we do need to have some storage in there. But it is, yeah, we want it to not feel like a storage space, and it is tracking.
2:48:45
You want to look around and go, Oh, this is kind of what you know. And, you know, maybe we can come up with a way that we can put together a little map that we roll out that has like a drawing the turntable for so that it’s like so that it’s a map that people want to step on and walk on set, but at least no more than about three hours, days, and then people could stand in there and look and go.
2:49:13
This wouldn’t work. Yeah, my goal is definitely to return things to their historic aesthetic, while being functional and making that space more usable than it is now. It’s just so stiction, to me, that would be a good place to put the
2:49:30
I am having so many issues with cords today. And I’m so sorry. The little graphic thing that you clicked with are some fun on one camera. QR code. That would be a great thing to put all that information. Yeah, but she just had with the QR code right on.
2:49:47
Yeah. Yeah, that’s helpful. It is everybody.
2:49:52
Thank you for your patience.
2:49:56
Great information.
2:49:57
Interesting. Yeah. My project today around the room is getting that stuff all around, you know, in an appropriate way but available for oh, he’s just having a birthday party educationalist
2:50:11
I think in without having the official tour, that’s one of those things. Okay,
2:50:17
so Okay, well, you more item look at one more item, which we just read this camera Hornbook writes in the future just
2:50:28
a year, from the last meeting, it was requested. Some I’m not going to remember who was thinking I’ve met, somebody thought that they might be able to get contact information for the nephew or whoever it is.
2:50:41
I can ask again, but I haven’t posted them or saying I don’t know. So
2:50:47
it’s legal actually did get back to us about that. Oh, yeah. And basically, we need to reach out to family or their PR attorney or whoever I work in, I see what they will allow us to do one of the improved
2:51:01
elderly ladies that I need to speak with should be at the meeting tomorrow. Okay, well, thank
2:51:06
you. So yeah, that’s, you know, I’m waiting on contact information for somebody associated with them so that we can at least make an attempt to reach out to them if they’ll give us permanent printing rights or invest one time print and then make a very large order. By then the eventual if we don’t get permanent printing rights would be to work with the museum or whomever to create a new version
2:51:32
on our on our annual report to the council, we included them. Ideally, one of our future goals in this year would be to create a booklet that could be sold and the booklet would be more information about the tour detail room wait till all of that and it can also include other details that perhaps aren’t included in the rulebook and so it would serve an additional purpose of
2:52:10
the museum write a book in regards to doing stuff about
2:52:13
this the long history he
2:52:15
just a couple years holiday released history along the way, but that didn’t highlight it
2:52:22
was an overall it was just the decision overall it that’s my thought but yes, but I did somebody a bit within it has have a contact information on how we
2:52:30
went about it. Yeah, you know, there have sources that can help. And it also can be heavily like divorced
2:52:43
Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, that’s where we’re at with that. It’ll remain a future agenda item for a while. Sounds good.
2:52:51
I will try to appreciate
2:52:53
it. I know he’s got a he’s a jazz but I every
2:52:57
every chance I get I’ll just keep on like intellect. Yeah,
2:53:02
you never know. Something’s gonna come up. No more information. Okay, is there anything else anybody wants to bring up? Can we entertain them for your time? Oh
2:53:19
yay. I’m sorry to meet our second meeting here or
