far. Claudia Hasbun said we need guidance from the Board, as mentioned it will take a lot of time and effort, if we should begin to revitalize the old books, but the later books are more convenient. Chair Steiger said he thinks we should first evaluate all the original books and when you are going to be ready with this, and then we will continue with it. David said he will continue keeping the history. He has not kept the books completely up to date yet, he is up to October of 2015, and he started at 2014. Dione asked who puts the public channel up, and is there a place for this? What do we do now on the public channel? Liaison Hasbun said not the channel but the website. We know we would have a pretty high audience on the website and so everything will have to be done professionally for a new prime product. An audience member said she would be interested in this project to know what has happened in the City. Steve Trattner said that is what they are discussing to create it into a video format so it can be shared more easily on the internet, and replayed on the cable channel. Natalie Minervina said she thinks the audience member met that people her age would not go to a cable channel, they would go to the website and social media. Dione said then in her opinion the books are great for historical record keeping but then you take the person who is responsible for the Facebook page or the website, and use it as a reference. Then they take what they want that they think is important and create something that is applicable for the social media. And so you are continuing with these books and updating them is great and it should be done because that is really the primary resource for whoever wants to then come in and take that and do more with it, whatever it is going to be. Whether we make it the story of Sunny Isles Beach a book, or a website, or a Facebook page, whatever, this is the primary resource. David said absolutely, by doing that book and having it with a little script, it would be maybe ten or twenty minutes. Ellen Uguccioni said she wanted to let the Board know that the National Register has an ominous requirement for photographs for the National Register and now they have gone to digital, this is acid free paper so it has helped preserve it, but ultimately it should be digitized. Also she was thinking in terms of, and there are so many ways to approach this as was noted, but one way other than chronologically is thematically, for when we were talking about times and that kind of thing. That can be broken up into possible increments that are doable. David said what Ellen just said is very important, once we digitize everything, it will always be there because if you take a look at the color of this paper and take a look of the color of the original book, it is faded. If we digitalize it, it is not going to go bad. Chair Steiger said is there a project for digitalized? Claudia said if you decide to do it, we can break it down into phases, and the first phase will be to redo the older books, and incorporating those ideas and then go on to the second phase. Dione said yes, it sounds like the older ones need reorganization at the least, and then when you are doing that then you digitize it. Claudia said we need to decide in which order we will put it in, chronologically or thematically. Chair Steiger said we don't have much on the old ones, whatever we have is pictures, there is not written items, right? David said there are some newspaper articles, etc., and that is what he is trying to get now from whatever is happening in 2015, 2016, and 2017, and so we can put it in this form. Chair Steiger said he thinks the older book would be more interesting than the new one because that is when the City started. There is more of a story there. City Attorney Ottinot said he thinks the Commission may be inclined to support this Summary Minutes: 2016-0518 HPB Mtg Page 3 of 4
