Janesville historic commission organizes booth, materials for Taubman Arts Festival
Summary
Commission members confirmed staffing, storyboards and distribution of a historic street‑address map for the Taubman Arts Festival booth, and discussed sale of neighborhood guides and printing logistics.
Members of the Janesville Historic Commission reviewed staffing and materials for the commission booth at the upcoming Taubman Arts Festival during the June 17 meeting.
Commissioners confirmed a preliminary staffing schedule based on member sign-ups and asked staff to make modest adjustments as needed. The commission has received Photoshop files for the booth storyboards; commissioners discussed options for converting those files for printing and noted OfficeMax as a low-cost printing option. One member volunteered to check with a relative who has Photoshop access to make small edits.
The commission also discussed displaying a large historic street-address map dating to 1907. Staff said smaller printed copies are available for distribution and that an electronic copy will be sent to members to facilitate printing on foam board for the booth. Members agreed that a mounted print would be adequate and discussed inexpensive local printing options.
Commissioners also confirmed the festival guide price from last year at $2 and noted the commission's registration has been confirmed; they have not yet received booth assignment details from the festival organizers. The commission scheduled its next regular meeting for Tuesday, July 1, and expects to return to the council chambers then.
Staff was asked to circulate the electronic files and updates to the staffing schedule ahead of the festival so members can finalize booth preparations.
