Mr. Vegter asked if we should the high schools involved.
Mr. Mahlum inquired about historical photos and if they could be put on display at the Municipal
Center.
Ms. Breuer suggested having a photo contest where people bring in their old photos.
Mr. Nordquist said we have a good sized atrium and could have free standing display boards.
Mr. Adamini commented there should be boxes of old photos stored at the City and we need to
go to the private sector too for photos.

Ms. Breuer suggested, to reduce the work for staff, that the request should be put out there for
others to help.

ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Authorize appeal for photos and video planning.
2. Provide direction on City logo "Celebrating 50 years".
SUMMARY:
There are three items to address on Tuesday, April 24 at 6:00 p.m. We again meet in the
Regent Conference at the Municipal Center:
1. Appeal to City Departments to assemble 50 years of photos and leverage City
videographers to tell historical and present day stories. The 1 minute and 30 second
stories would be filmed in 2018 to be shown throughout the year in 2019. The
spreadsheet already developed by the Committee would be shared with departments as
an outline of desired topics and the encouragement to add more.
2. Authorize an appeal to residents and businesses to share 50 years of historical and
present day photos. Attached with this memo are samples of photo contests used by
other cities and business to further discuss. Each example deals with themes and
present day photos. Our outreach could be both also, to result in decade groupings.
The collected images would be sorted for 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010, and placed on
display, perhaps starting at the Municipal Center atrium and on-line. Be prepared to
talk about guiding rules and submission requirements, whether it is a contest with prizes
or not, and deadlines.
3. Have further discussion and offer direction on the 50 year "logo". Attached are two
versions generated by staff. Staff has reached out to Chamber members graphics
professionals at the local Alphagraphics, Image360, and GR Promotions. The work by
graphic professionals is not scheduled to arrive before Tuesday and what is received
will be brought to the meeting.
