4. Old Business
a. Cataloguing the files to be more user-friendly—Sally asked about getting into History House.
for certain blocks of time. Town purchased scanner and laptop. Need new projector.
b. Town may decide to disband the History Committee. Courtney Corrigan thinks that the
committee is unnecessary. Hopefully it won’t be an agenda item on consent calendar. Need to
watch it. General Plan talks about history, so we may be necessary to process.
c. New Members Needed.
d. Reschedule date for March walk is up in the air.
e. Fall Presentation—“Tales of Page Mill Road”—Proposed dates Sunday, October 4 or 11 at 2
PM. May have to be by Zoom.
i. Foothill College Meeting—Carol had meeting with historian. Has a lot of photos of Foothill
College. Perhaps have a 30-40 minute Zoom meeting with him as an event. Carol will contact
him.
5. New Business
a.Plaque has been identified, probably buried under brush for decades at Bullis, which
commemorates a child from Bullis who died in a car accident. Jitze found a Town Crier
article which quoted a boy with the surname of Sigua talking about his friend. There is a
flagpole at ball field with plaque to a Sigua who died in Iraq? Same person?
b. Suggestion made that a plaque be placed on the Bufano bear sculpture at Bullis school.
Since LASD owns the sculpture, Town would have to coordinate with them.
c. Denise will look for plaque on Josefa bridge.
d. Need to make inventory of archives, digital and physical items (boxes in Town storage
building).
Next Meeting—July 21, 2020
