Description/Agenda

APPROVAL OF MINUTES Rebecca made a motion to approve the minutes for Wednesday, January 25, 2023. Arilyn seconded and the minutes passed unanimously. BOARD REPORTS Committee Updates - Time Capsule: Katie presented that it has been decided the time capsule will be sealed on the day of the grand opening of city hall, June 29, 2023. All items submitted up to this point have been cataloged and tagged into past perfect. There is still time to add any additional items if needed. - Park Centennial: Laurie updated that they are still trying to gather more pictures. She has received about 40 pictures from one elderly lady as well as a 6-page story of park memories from Mark Christensen. Katie suggested having a booth for the museum at the Arbor Day event to talk about the history of Murray Park and the role that Arbor Day played in developing the park and printing an in-house program with approximately 10 pages to include a brief introduction on each section that can be handed out. Lori requested information given to Katie by the end of March. This will give Lori time to get the necessary permissions. - Oral Histories: Laurie and Rowan went to visit Shirley Crocker, a long-time Murray resident to make a recording and gather some history about her family's experiences with the city and Murray Park. CITIZEN COMMENTS There were no citizen comments. STAFF REPORTS - Museum: Rowan reported that she is packing and moving a lot of items over to the mansion from the long-term storage. The museum will stay open for the rest of this month and close in April so she can start packing up exhibits. This month's archive for the Utah Preservation Collections webinar is going to be on March 16, 2023, and it is going to be about collections moving. Rowan was supposed to meet with the Abbington last Wednesday, but it was canceled due to the snow and has been rescheduled for April 18, at 1 pm. We will be having our last school tour in the current city hall on Monday with Liberty. - Cemetery Tours: School tours will begin on May 9-11 to include storytelling, activities, and teaching proper cemetery etiquette. This year we have five tours including four second-grade classes and one fourth-grade class. This is an increase of two more tours than we had last year. - Mansion: Lori updated us that we now have our building permit and are holding a preconstruction meeting tomorrow morning. Any help the board can provide to help move would be greatly appreciated. - City Hall: Grand opening will be held on June 29 beginning at 4:00 to include fun activities for the community. Lori would like to do an open house at the mansion that night as well and asked if the board could volunteer with someone in each room to give a short tutorial on what each of the rooms will be and give out taffy and dressing in costumes if they choose to. - Time Capsule: Already discussed BUSINESS - Preliminary Book: Already discussed - Accessions: One item was received from Kirk Erickson who brought Rowan in a very large and heavy ceramic bedpan. Rowan mentioned possibly adding this to the 'what is this display' as most people will not recognize what this is. Rebecca motioned to accession this; Laurie seconded. All voted unanimously to include this in the collection. OTHER No other items to discuss NEXT MEETING At 6:46 pm Rebecca made a motion to adjourn the meeting, and Arilyn seconded it. All voted in favor.
