DISCUSSION ITEM: Update on Historical Video Production: Ms. Faryce Goode-Macon, Staff Liaison, addressed the commission. Ms. Macon stated she spoke with Quadrant Productions regarding status of the historical video and was told that the video production was in its final stage and was approximately 90 percent completed. Ms. Macon went on to say that the production team leader relayed to her that there were some minor adjustments to be made, but he would be ready to give a presentation at the Landmark Commission's next meeting in April so commissioners could view the video. Mr. Phillips asked what was the Museum's role in the video production and Ms. Macon answered that initially the Museum was providing information on the 1919 hurricane for their hurricane display. SCANNED 4110 rP Landmark Commission Meeting March 27, 2003 Page 2 Ms. Tinker asked how will the videos get to the school districts and Ms. Macon answered that the videos will be made available to the schools, but all of the logistics have not been worked out. Ms. Tinker asked who would actually see that the videos were received and Ms. Macon responded that Dr. Sharon Brower, former commissioner, would be the initial contact person in coordinating the video distribution to the schools since she is in the school district's administrative offices. Dr. Brower is now with the Museum Board and it is still possible that she could be the person to coordinate this task. Ms. Tinker asked if the Museum contributed money for the video production and Ms. Macon answered that the money the Museum Board received went towards their special display project. Ms. Macon continued that at that time, the Museum wanted a video to go along with their display, not necessarily a full historical video as outlined by the Landmark Commission. Ms. Tinker stated the production team filmed a segment of the video at the Centennial House. The segment filmed was of Maria Von Blucher playing the piano and also included a clip showing her opening a bread box with a rattle snake on it. Mr. Grossman stated if the video could be placed where it needs to go, it would seem that there would be a contact person in the district that could make sure that the videos were distributed. Ms. Macon added that a copy of the video would be kept in the library and it would be catalogued. Mr. Phillips asked if the video would be used by CCISD only or would it be available to other school districts and Ms. Macon answered that the video would be available to all the school districts. Dr. Moore stated he thought the video was to be included as a public relations tool for the City in addition to the school districts. Ms. Macon stated that a copy of the video would be given to the Chamber of Commerce for them to use in any way possible in their marketing campaigns for the city. Dr. Moore suggested that a copy of the video be sent to the Lexington to be shown to the tourists that come to the city. Dr. Moore went on to say he thought there would be more money available for the video production and Ms. Macon explained that initially, the Sesquicentennial Committee was trying to do major further raising, but that goal was not achieved. Mr. Grossman stated the Landmark Commission should write a letter to the community to let them know that the videos are available. Mr. Grossman continued that a lot will be determined upon what the final production of the video looks like. Ms. Macon reminded commissioners that the original cost of the video was between $50,000 and $60,000 and that amount of money was not raised. The video production was based on the $15,000 grant that the Landmark Commission received from THC. After all comments and discussions concluded, the meeting was dismissed at 5:30 p.m. Lin a Williams L Faryce G de-Macon, City Planner Recording Secretary Staff Liais n to Landmark Commission in WORDWxM\uNDXARK MIHVTESWAR27MINSO3 oaq fie SUMMARY SHEET LANDMARK COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 27, 2003 1.
