The Farmington City Historic Preservation Commission met on Monday, June 29, 2026, to coordinate preparations for Farmington Festival Days and discuss various preservation initiatives, according to meeting minutes from June 29, 2026.
During the meeting, the commission discussed several items related to the Farmington Festival Days. Baylee Montgomery volunteered to assist Dave Petersen with a historic walking tour for the festival. The commission also reviewed booth materials, including the use of QR codes and pamphlets. While Liz Holmes presented button designs, the commission decided to shelve the idea of using buttons as handouts for the time being. Additionally, Montgomery presented 52 donated prizes from businesses in the historic and Main Street areas, which Steffanie Sanders assigned Montgomery to organize into gift baskets. Other festival preparations included discussions on parade candy and booth activities.
The commission addressed several ongoing programs and administrative matters. Shauna Wadrip reported that she is working on a list of 10 homes to receive grants for free plaques, pending commission confirmation. Regarding signage, Steffanie Sanders recommended that future vinyl banners be reusable to avoid issues with outdated text. The commission also discussed the possibility of creating a Historic Preservation Commission logo similar to other city departments, with Shannon Hansell tasked to research the matter further.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn by Elise Allred and a second from Steffanie Sanders.
