Shannon Bush, program coordinator in Community Development, told commissioners the internship was re‑marketed as a GIS‑focused placement with historic resource emphasis. Staff and the commission plan to interview finalists early next week and to make a hiring decision by the end of that week so the intern can begin work within two to three weeks.

Funding for the internship comes from the Certified Local Government (CLG) grant. Staff told the commission that CLG funding is scheduled only through June 30, and asked the commission to treat the internship as a short, deliverable‑focused engagement. Staff proposed that one useful product for the internship would be a story map (an interactive, web‑based GIS narrative) that dovetails with the county driving‑tour booklet; the story map could host additional photographs and blueprints the printed booklet cannot include.

Commissioners and staff agreed the internship should prioritize completing verifiable driving‑tour entries, assembling digitized historic photos, and preparing the story‑map or web assets that could be expanded after the grant period.

No formal hiring action was taken at the meeting; interviews were scheduled. Staff said the internship start date and exact scope will depend on the selected candidate and the available grant period.","County staff said the HRC internship attracted 16 applicants.

Staff reported that ODOT has prepared files — including CAD‑based materials meant for visualization — and that those files were expected to arrive by mail. County and city staff said the materials will help develop a visual exhibit for either an in‑museum touchscreen, an online presentation or an on‑site interpretive sign linked by QR code.

Commissioners discussed multiple display delivery options: a permanent physical kiosk in a museum or public building, an online version hosted on the county or city historic resources pages, and QR codes on‑site that would link to an augmented‑reality or web presentation. Staff noted those design choices affect user experience, accessibility and cost.

The commission also heard that ODOT is soliciting public feedback on the display and that a survey tied to the project remains open; staff agreed to re‑circulate the survey link to commissioners and interested stakeholders so local partners can submit comments before ODOT’s stated deadline.

The transcript records technical questions raised by commissioners about user experience, audience segmentation, and whether the exhibit should be a permanent installation or tied to specific events. Funding sources and responsibilities for construction or long‑term hosting were not specified in the meeting record.

Sections of the exhibit described by staff include CAD‑based visualizations for display layout and possible historic photos to contrast past and present conditions. Staff indicated that once ODOT’s files arrive they will provide them to local graphic staff to explore layout and presentation options.

This discussion was informational; no formal action, appropriation or contract award was taken at the meeting.","Commissioners were briefed on Oregon Department of Transportation materials for a proposed Van Buren Bridge interpretive display and were told the ODOT public survey is open; staff will reissue the survey link to commissioners.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6603923,"Benton County HRC narrows plans for Preservation Month, assigns driving‑tour routes",341,596000,937000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2996691-10a45a32f7d3631690504933416eee97&start=596&end=937","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2996691-10a45a32f7d3631690504933416eee97/thumbnail_596000.jpg","/articles/6603923/Benton-County/Oregon/Benton-County-HRC-narrows-plans-for-Preservation-Month-assigns-drivingtour-routes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603923-5dd5413275fdedbe0e5e65a9d130f1ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1770712015&Signature=iJtGbGeaYjq1vzvaypCikYmzMz8I57d18nwymWTmO5U3UpV8t1he3b~-Sm35qvWgNlRolnMNuuVICLzLEVlMbo4FiTmtrV13gipNLDSKr1vNcSGyG-kd-KzC-DLlWtmawur6bEkhgnt5~tIf61zdykY0Impqr8~yS2ryyFKz0f1RT~sWNRNKeWEN~ZkBTH23c1md67Yts4Er9jOTWV8d7~XpEAqLGTbZ7KTwkcDkuBzG4R5U47rraA~vLtMIwlYfqnEnY8qtSkTXEnxXyhJ2Ch106eg8ZdORCAmFSUfmiPUguoZuJWvl8cbj7~ZeyzNkExUE0dHzXoepE6LXnDVGZw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Benton County Historic Resource Commission agreed on a schedule and next steps to finish a countywide driving‑tour booklet and to coordinate Preservation Month programming.

Commission Chair Autumn Peterson and staff described a plan to split the county driving tour into routes and form small working groups to check locations, imagery and text. Commissioners volunteered for route review: Jay Sexton took the South route, Bob Hamaker and others are working on the Northeast route, and commissioners agreed to split the large Northwest route so it is manageable for volunteers.

Why it matters: the driving booklet and the Preservation Month calendar are the commission’s primary public outreach tools for the year. The group said the booklet should reflect current, verifiable information about each building and include historic photographs where available.

The commission asked volunteers who will drive assigned routes to verify that listed properties are visible from the road, in the correct sequence on the map and worthy of inclusion. Staff said some list entries lack basic research and recommended removing lower‑priority properties if space is constrained. Commissioners instructed volunteers to note missing or incorrect addresses and to flag properties that lack clear historical justification.

Commissioners agreed to use a Doodle poll to set two or three small working‑group meetings the week after the session so members can report back with edits. Staff advised consolidating notes into a single PDF of annotated entries that graphic staff can use once text and map locations reach roughly final form.

Staff and commissioners discussed where a printed booklet and related digital content might live. Options mentioned included the Benton County website’s historic resources page, local museum displays with kiosks or continuously available screens, and QR codes on interpretive signs that link back to a story map or gallery. The commission asked staff to coordinate with municipal partners (Corvallis and Albany) about placement and event programming.

Several practical details were recorded: one route was reported to include about 15–20 properties and may be split in two; volunteers should prioritize and mark a clear “cut line” to leave room for higher‑priority entries; OSU and the University of Oregon were identified as photo/archive resources if digitized historic images are needed; and staff suggested a story‑map (interactive GIS) as a complement to the printed booklet.

The commission set an internal expectation that a consolidated draft (one PDF of cataloged notes and proposed text) be ready for review by the next monthly meeting so volunteers can finalize corrections and the graphic work can move forward.
