APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The minutes of the November 7, 2007 Eagan Historical Society meeting were approved as
presented.
FINALIZE TOWN HALL SIGN
The Committee discussed the Old Town Hall sign. Wachter noted that two of the photos
needed to be fully rotated from the current placement. It was noted that three of the photos were
from the book “The Face of Minnesota” a copy of which the Historical Society has. It was donated
by Ted Wa chter. Knight made a motion to have Ted Wachter’s book at the February 2008 meeting
for Wachter to sign; Voracek seconded the motion. All members voted in favor.
Knight noted that Joe Polske will contact Joanna to coordinate a pick up of the Lost Spur sign
which he will be donating to the Historical Society.
REMAINING BUDGET ITEMS FOR 2007
The Committee discussed items remaining to be purchased on the 2007 budget. Knight
volunteered to purchase picture frames and miscellaneous items. Another purchase suggested was
window film for the Old Town Hall.
MINNESOTA 150 CELEBRATION PARTICIPATION DISCUSSION
1858-1860 Eagan Map – The Committee suggested bringing the 1896 map or any earlier
maps to the February meeting so they can determine if there are families that were here in Eagan at
that time, that still remain a part of the community today. A list of these families can be generated
and an event of some sort can perhaps be considered as a part of a sesquicentennial celebration.
Per the request of the Committee, Foote will contact Jane Leonard regarding a booth on the
Capitol grounds on the date in May that they have scheduled for the State Sesquicentennial
celebration.
Foote will bring a Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area map to the February meeting for the
Committee to examine for park/art spaces.
