WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:13.220 We'll open the meeting for March 4th at noon and let's go over the item one of the minutes 00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:31.800 for January 28, 2021. 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.040 Motion we approve the minutes from January 28, 2021. 00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:43.820 I think I'm the only one who can second so I'll second. 00:00:43.820 --> 00:00:45.920 All in favor. 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:47.880 Aye. 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:49.880 Aye. 00:00:49.880 --> 00:01:00.040 All right, next item on the list is receive report and hold discussion and give staff 00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:04.400 input regarding the status of the following public art committee projects. 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:10.720 One the North Lakes dog park to the G Villa complex three the tennis center for their 00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:16.680 fire station number three, five the foundations of our history mural six MLK Jr. recreation 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.160 center sculpture and seven the interracial women's fellowship. 00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:30.160 Able to aid John Whitmore here and I will be sharing my screen to be able to cover that. 00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:35.280 Okay, that should all be great. 00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.960 All right. 00:01:37.960 --> 00:01:42.680 Sometimes it takes a second to be able to move. 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:43.680 There we go. 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:48.200 All right, North Lakes dog park, we've been working a little bit more than we're on our 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:54.280 third time that we have gone out to try to get some proposals for this, I know that we've 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:59.680 had a couple of proposals in the past, but they were not leading to the scope of work 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:00.860 very well. 00:02:00.860 --> 00:02:06.640 And so what we've done is we've now listed those on a variety of different of the local 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:13.360 as in Texas based sculpture associations, and we've already received one proposal so 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.120 far and they've got another couple weeks to be able to get those in. 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:23.720 So we'll, once we got those in, we'll meet with the subcommittee, evaluate those, and 00:02:23.720 --> 00:02:30.120 then be able to have those brought forward to the whole committee. 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:36.840 Okay, I'll keep moving along unless anybody has any questions. 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:43.840 Okay, the Vela athletic complex is the Vela monument. 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.760 What we have is it's under fabrication right now, and they're going to complete the fabrication. 00:02:48.760 --> 00:02:56.120 We've already issued the second month, the second milestone check to them. 00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:00.560 And we're currently working on the redesign of the base area. 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.480 So that's going to be a little bit softer for it. 00:03:03.480 --> 00:03:07.040 So also to have people so that they're not going to be touching it if it gets a little 00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:09.880 bit warm, let's say in the heat of summer. 00:03:09.880 --> 00:03:11.480 So we're going to have something around there. 00:03:11.480 --> 00:03:14.000 We're still in the design phase of doing that. 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:22.180 I did have some communication with the artist yesterday, and they sent me some pictures 00:03:22.180 --> 00:03:24.440 of progress, which is great. 00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:31.120 So for those that haven't seen the whole upper area is in shape of a soccer ball. 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.840 And inside that soccer ball are quite a few different spheres. 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:40.800 And so if you can see one of those brackets that you see where the soccer ball is made 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:46.760 of, that's in the center section, and you can see progress on making multiple of those 00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:50.400 in that third photo to the right. 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:54.280 Looks very substantial. 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:55.280 Looks very cool. 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.280 I like this. 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:03.320 And the whole thing is supposed to be done right about June, and we're trying to make 00:04:03.320 --> 00:04:06.560 sure we get that timeframe. 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:15.000 Again, if anybody has questions, we can stop and deal with those. 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.400 Tennis center, lots of work happening out there. 00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:25.180 It's not ready to pick a site yet until they finish some of the other work. 00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:27.160 So we're still holding off on that. 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.520 Still the same budget, next steps. 00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:34.000 We just have to have the subcommittee kick off meeting once we have a general location 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:41.220 of where we think that will end up going out there. 00:04:41.220 --> 00:04:46.320 Fire station number three, they're getting quite a bit of work done out there as far 00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:50.640 as they've really built the whole other one, and now they're going to demolish the old. 00:04:50.640 --> 00:04:56.300 And once they've got the demolition done, that's when they start to put in their landscaping. 00:04:56.300 --> 00:05:01.660 And with all the other issues due to COVID and other things, they're a little bit behind 00:05:01.660 --> 00:05:07.480 on some of that, but it'll be very quick once they do the demolition from what I've talked 00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:14.380 to the project managers over that. 00:05:14.380 --> 00:05:15.380 This is done. 00:05:15.380 --> 00:05:16.380 And you won't see this one. 00:05:16.380 --> 00:05:22.440 It's just the official slide to say that project's been completed and looks great. 00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:25.920 We were really pleased with how it turned out. 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.360 We've had quite a few compliments from people in the community. 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:33.680 I think the best compliment we ever see is when people slow down and drive by it real 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:40.040 slow to that, and probably clog up a little bit of traffic, but it's a great compliment 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:45.840 to that particular project. 00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:47.440 This is moving right along. 00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:53.740 They're still in the stage where they are taking those large pieces of stone and getting 00:05:53.740 --> 00:06:01.140 it all roughed out, and then the final artistries, it'll be done by Madeline Weiner for that. 00:06:01.140 --> 00:06:05.880 And that, she says, is all on track, so we should be good. 00:06:05.880 --> 00:06:10.920 Drew has been working on site preparation and things out there. 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:16.560 Quite a few things have to be done prior to when that stone actually gets here, but they're 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:22.120 going to be improving the front area and some of the other side areas around that and moving 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:26.520 the flagpole, that type of thing, before they can actually install this particular piece. 00:06:26.520 --> 00:06:29.640 Drew, did you have anything to add? 00:06:29.640 --> 00:06:36.920 No, other than we are working with the artist, and we will start the base construction, like 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:37.920 what John said. 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:42.400 We need to move the flagpole and some other landscape features just to be able to add 00:06:42.400 --> 00:06:45.760 the enhancement of that sculpture that's going to go there at the Martin Luther King Rec 00:06:45.760 --> 00:06:46.760 Center. 00:06:46.760 --> 00:06:50.760 So, more to come really soon. 00:06:50.760 --> 00:07:01.400 DWIF monument, Michelle has been working very diligently with the artist, gathering information, 00:07:01.400 --> 00:07:05.280 verifying, fact checking things about the DWIF. 00:07:05.280 --> 00:07:10.200 I see some of it because I get copied on quite a bit, and so they're really quite into it. 00:07:10.200 --> 00:07:16.440 They've now involved our public information, a public affairs group for some of the historical 00:07:16.440 --> 00:07:24.520 photos and also the library, the library archivist has been involved and is looking for different 00:07:24.520 --> 00:07:26.480 materials that will help them. 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:33.160 So they're really trying to put together pictures and then of course text and parts of the story, 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:40.020 but also they have recordings of some of these folks talking about their experiences at that 00:07:40.020 --> 00:07:43.240 particular time and kind of what it meant to them. 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:47.880 So they're in the midst of being able to gather these things, so it's kind of a fun project 00:07:47.880 --> 00:07:55.340 to be able to see it all happening. 00:07:55.340 --> 00:07:58.120 And so, we open it up to questions. 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:03.920 Hey John, before we open up to questions, I did have a couple of comments just based 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:09.400 upon the sculptures that are still in progress, or more or less the sculptures that haven't 00:08:09.400 --> 00:08:10.400 started yet. 00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:19.400 So the tennis center, the fire station, to be exact on those two, please be looking for 00:08:19.400 --> 00:08:20.640 some emails soon. 00:08:20.640 --> 00:08:24.920 We'd like to set up subcommittees, so we'd obviously want to get your input on who you'd 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.080 want to be on those subcommittees as those get started. 00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:29.080 They are in the works. 00:08:29.080 --> 00:08:33.440 We hope to get the construction of the tennis center started this summer. 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.320 So in conjunction with that construction, we would obviously want to pick out a sculpture 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.520 so all that could be completed around the same time. 00:08:40.520 --> 00:08:47.880 And then with the fire station, with its demo in the works scheduled, hopefully that should 00:08:47.880 --> 00:08:54.120 be demoed sometime this summer for us to be able to pick out a pedestal and an art piece 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:57.280 so we can get that in really as the landscaping is going in. 00:08:57.280 --> 00:09:03.440 So everything really seems like it's being finished at the same time versus pieces by 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.760 pieces, so a piece milled together. 00:09:07.760 --> 00:09:16.920 And then we'll open it up for questions. 00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:17.920 Just a quick question. 00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:21.560 I know that you're talking about the Denton station, you know, starting their demolition. 00:09:21.560 --> 00:09:22.560 They've already started their demolition. 00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:26.340 Does that speed up the timeline at all? 00:09:26.340 --> 00:09:33.320 All I know is that Chief Boots, he said that once they start that, it'll go pretty quick. 00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:35.760 I spoke to him about a week and a half ago. 00:09:35.760 --> 00:09:40.320 And so if they started already, then we're getting in better shape. 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:41.920 It's okay if we do build it later. 00:09:41.920 --> 00:09:43.840 It's just, it always looks nice. 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:47.640 You know, I know we had talked about some different options before with fencing and 00:09:47.640 --> 00:09:48.640 that all went away. 00:09:48.640 --> 00:09:53.520 So we would like to possibly start getting our ideas together on what you would like 00:09:53.520 --> 00:09:54.520 to see there. 00:09:54.520 --> 00:10:01.660 That way we can put out the request for proposals to have a nice piece put in that location. 00:10:01.660 --> 00:10:13.160 Thank you. 00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:17.160 Any other questions? 00:10:17.160 --> 00:10:33.760 Okay. 00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:38.600 Monet before we do that, I know Gary's remote at the moment, but he wanted to make sure 00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:45.040 that we welcome back all our past representatives from the public art committee and welcomed 00:10:45.040 --> 00:10:47.160 our new representatives. 00:10:47.160 --> 00:10:48.480 So we appreciate your time. 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:53.040 I know it's been a little different us having to meet, you know, in the middle of the day 00:10:53.040 --> 00:10:55.640 versus what our normal hours used to be. 00:10:55.640 --> 00:10:59.960 And hopefully we can get back to some normality really soon. 00:10:59.960 --> 00:11:05.880 So we all appreciate your time and we enjoy working with you and look forward to enhancing 00:11:05.880 --> 00:11:15.480 the beautification of the city in the future. 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:19.000 So, sorry, I'm probably taking this one. 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.040 So, yes, you are. 00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:24.640 So Eddie Valdez, management analyst. 00:11:24.640 --> 00:11:29.520 So annually all boards, commissioning committees, they approve a meeting schedule throughout 00:11:29.520 --> 00:11:31.080 the entire year. 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:36.040 So in your attachment, you'll see the meeting schedule for this year for 2021. 00:11:36.040 --> 00:11:42.480 However, I do want to point out that the meeting schedule prior to May, we are all meeting, 00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:47.280 you know, virtually, you know, so the assumption is after May, yeah, we will try to go back 00:11:47.280 --> 00:11:48.520 on a normal schedule. 00:11:48.520 --> 00:11:54.700 And I think I believe I put it on the first Thursday of the month. 00:11:54.700 --> 00:11:57.760 But before that, I know that we're trying to kind of work around that schedule. 00:11:57.760 --> 00:12:05.560 So if any case, it depends on how post-COVID, you know, if we will all, you know, meet in 00:12:05.560 --> 00:12:14.120 person, then we can probably update the meeting schedule. 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:16.680 We don't need to do any approval or anything in the long term. 00:12:16.680 --> 00:12:21.760 It's just, you know, we just want to have something scheduled and we can always update 00:12:21.760 --> 00:12:25.280 that and let you all know if we're going to be meeting in person. 00:12:25.280 --> 00:12:31.120 But as it is right now, that's where we're meeting right now between now and May. 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.200 You'll see the list that you'll see out there. 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:38.120 It doesn't include the time, just the day that we're going to be meeting. 00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:41.680 And then hopefully by June, we'll have some normality. 00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:44.160 But again, we'll have to just be flexible. 00:12:44.160 --> 00:12:50.080 But on another note, before we approve that, I know that I received a couple emails from 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:55.840 members and I know this has been a very big challenge for everyone trying to meet during 00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:56.840 business hours. 00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.400 And, you know, it's a challenge, you know, for everyone, including staff, because I want 00:13:01.400 --> 00:13:09.320 to make sure to make everyone happy in terms of trying to provide a day and a time that 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:12.080 works for not only members, but also staff. 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:14.440 And I know that the business hours is really, really tough. 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:20.000 So hopefully, it will have some normality really soon post COVID. 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:29.000 But as it is right now, if you have any objections on the days, I think I put it down for Thursdays 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:30.000 for now. 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.400 We can always, you know, move it on a Friday between now and May. 00:13:33.400 --> 00:13:37.800 Also, if you have any objections on times, even though I did not schedule a time, maybe 00:13:37.800 --> 00:13:42.280 there's a good opportunity that we can talk about the time we can all meet because we 00:13:42.280 --> 00:13:45.680 have it said during the lunchtime, but I know not everyone can make it. 00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:52.560 So twofold question before we make an approval of the scheduled meeting. 00:13:52.560 --> 00:13:59.880 One is any objections, you know, on the day between now and May, if Thursday still works. 00:13:59.880 --> 00:14:07.340 And also, let's talk about the time as well, since most of us, you know, are here. 00:14:07.340 --> 00:14:15.360 So we've already we've already lost one member because of the time frame, so it's not necessarily 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.360 I don't know about anyone else left. 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:23.280 I'd hate to see anyone else drop out because the person that we did lose was a valuable 00:14:23.280 --> 00:14:25.600 asset to the committee. 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.800 Who did we lose? 00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:34.560 Nick 00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:41.360 Nick was unable to meet regularly during this time, so he had to drop out. 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:49.560 Didn't we also lose Alicia? 00:14:49.560 --> 00:14:54.800 Well, I missed I missed last meeting. 00:14:54.800 --> 00:15:01.000 Unfortunately, I had a client that I was unable to reschedule again, not the best time. 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:04.280 But I did I only knew about Nick because I talked to him personally. 00:15:04.280 --> 00:15:05.920 I didn't know about Alicia. 00:15:05.920 --> 00:15:12.400 Jodi, I believe, had some sort of conflict with her place of business or I can't speak 00:15:12.400 --> 00:15:13.400 on that officially. 00:15:13.400 --> 00:15:14.400 I don't know. 00:15:14.400 --> 00:15:21.760 Well, Alicia did tell me she had a class that conflicted, so she was not going to be participating. 00:15:21.760 --> 00:15:24.240 I saw her last week. 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:25.360 We didn't lose her. 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:27.640 We just she can't participate in the meeting. 00:15:27.640 --> 00:15:35.560 And this is what kind of drove this this opportunity, you know, to talk about meeting, you know, 00:15:35.560 --> 00:15:42.200 times and dates so that we can try to accommodate everyone between now and May. 00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:44.800 Obviously, we can't really meet after hours. 00:15:44.800 --> 00:15:51.720 I mean, we can just because of staffing reasons, we want to try to do it before five p.m. 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:56.360 So I know this is open for discussion and it's not going to be forever. 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:59.400 I'm hoping there's going to be normality really, really soon. 00:15:59.400 --> 00:16:01.040 I'm not sure how that's going to look like. 00:16:01.040 --> 00:16:04.200 I don't think any staff knows how that's going to look like as well. 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:08.960 But we're hoping that we can get some normality and we want to make sure we accommodate to 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.520 all members the very best we can. 00:16:11.520 --> 00:16:20.040 So right now, we've been meeting every six weeks, Thursdays at about noon. 00:16:20.040 --> 00:16:21.520 Do we need to change that? 00:16:21.520 --> 00:16:27.000 I guess that's what my first part of the question. 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.460 I can make anything work, really. 00:16:29.460 --> 00:16:35.400 So unless it's just a one off thing. 00:16:35.400 --> 00:16:43.120 So whatever works best for everyone who has a less flexible schedule, I'm fine with. 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:48.360 Do we have to revisit this and talk about meeting on a Friday? 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:52.680 I'm not sure if that would be more accommodating to Alicia. 00:16:52.680 --> 00:16:59.040 And should we transfer the time instead of noon to 3 p.m., maybe like Friday at 3 p.m.? 00:16:59.040 --> 00:17:00.040 I'm open for discussion. 00:17:00.040 --> 00:17:02.000 I mean, I want to make it easy on everyone. 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.840 And again, you know, there's other days of the week. 00:17:04.840 --> 00:17:06.080 Mondays are a little tough. 00:17:06.080 --> 00:17:11.680 A lot of city council members want to have a meeting at that time, Tuesdays as well. 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:14.240 We also had the Parks for Christian Beautification Board meeting. 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:19.500 So it seems like the Thursdays and Fridays are like the most open, but I kind of want 00:17:19.500 --> 00:17:21.640 to hear all of you out. 00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:28.200 So Thursday or Friday, noon or 3 o'clock or later time. 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:32.120 Eddie, this is Gary. 00:17:32.120 --> 00:17:35.120 Our typical meeting was Thursdays at 4 o'clock. 00:17:35.120 --> 00:17:42.480 Now, granted, we would go possibly past 5, but could we try to go back to the 4 o'clock 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:50.840 start, back to the original schedule, if everyone is that works with our schedule? 00:17:50.840 --> 00:17:51.840 Sorry. 00:17:51.840 --> 00:17:55.760 And and just try to keep it to an hour until we go back to in-person. 00:17:55.760 --> 00:18:10.720 Go with you, Mary, does that work with you, Mr. Stuhl? 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:24.320 That works fine with me, Miss Franklin, it works and it works for you. 00:18:24.320 --> 00:18:26.940 Still want to meet on a Thursday, your schedule. 00:18:26.940 --> 00:18:27.940 We did set a record. 00:18:27.940 --> 00:18:29.080 Our last meeting was 30 minutes. 00:18:29.080 --> 00:18:31.760 So I did let Gary know that he was gone. 00:18:31.760 --> 00:18:33.000 So and it went really well. 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:34.000 We make good decisions. 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:38.720 So we just wanted to make sure that we accommodate everyone, you know, like, like what you said 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:44.720 before, we don't want to lose members because it it's in conflict with with your day to 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:45.720 day. 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.560 It was it was brought up prior, so I'm a little disappointed we're only just having this discussion 00:18:51.560 --> 00:18:58.400 now that we actually had to lose someone and potentially a second person for this to be 00:18:58.400 --> 00:18:59.920 a pain point for it to be discussed. 00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:07.120 So maybe next time we can actually address this in a more timely fashion would be great. 00:19:07.120 --> 00:19:13.680 I think we did on September last year's meeting. 00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:21.880 But I think it it still was kind of on a beta test doing this every six weeks meeting at 00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:22.880 noon. 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:27.720 And you know, I apologize that we didn't rectify that a little bit earlier time. 00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:31.600 You know, we really hated that we ended up losing one or two members. 00:19:31.600 --> 00:19:38.840 But on that note, since if four o'clock is the best time for everyone, do we still want 00:19:38.840 --> 00:19:43.000 to keep it on a Thursday or do we want to move it on a Friday between now and May? 00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:46.720 Because I'm assuming that we're still going to do virtual for now. 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:49.440 So we can put it down for four to five. 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:54.240 I think we were able to do it in under an hour for most of the meeting. 00:19:54.240 --> 00:20:00.280 It seems like that's been the average time. 00:20:00.280 --> 00:20:01.840 So four p.m. to five p.m. 00:20:01.840 --> 00:20:03.640 Is that all OK with you? 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:05.840 That's fine with me. 00:20:05.840 --> 00:20:06.840 They're safe. 00:20:06.840 --> 00:20:07.840 Four to five. 00:20:07.840 --> 00:20:08.840 Yeah, that's fine. 00:20:08.840 --> 00:20:16.560 Thursday, four to five. 00:20:16.560 --> 00:20:27.880 One question is if we're at risk of losing Alicia or I don't know if Nick leaving was 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:34.720 finalized or whatever, but should we check with Alicia or both of them just to make sure 00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:41.640 that if we're all open to Thursday or Friday, just to kind of make sure until we're in person? 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:43.760 Yeah, that's a good question. 00:20:43.760 --> 00:20:47.440 Or does it have to be decided now? 00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:53.480 Yeah, well, I mean, what we can do is we can make the decision now. 00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:57.800 If you guys are all OK for Thursday, I will reach out to Alicia. 00:20:57.800 --> 00:21:03.000 I'll also try to reach out to any members that aren't here, like Michelle. 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:09.600 And if it needs to be brought up, we can also amend the schedule so we can do all the amendments. 00:21:09.600 --> 00:21:13.620 And I just had to put a cancellation ahead of time or I could speak to the city secretary 00:21:13.620 --> 00:21:18.000 and ask if we can just bring this up in the next meeting and you guys can re-approve another 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.840 meeting schedule time because or I'm sorry, if you look at the actual attachment, it doesn't 00:21:22.840 --> 00:21:24.200 show the time. 00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:26.120 So we're flexible with the time. 00:21:26.120 --> 00:21:28.040 It's really the day that you need to choose. 00:21:28.040 --> 00:21:30.640 You know, it could be Thursday or Friday. 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:34.820 So for an example, if Alicia says, you know what, Friday is going to work best for me 00:21:34.820 --> 00:21:38.680 at four o'clock, then I could probably send out an email. 00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:42.580 And if we had to re-approve this on the next meeting, then we can do that. 00:21:42.580 --> 00:21:45.360 Does that work for everyone? 00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:47.520 So can we just go in and make the approval right now? 00:21:47.520 --> 00:21:51.080 Are you all OK with the meeting schedule as it is? 00:21:51.080 --> 00:21:54.680 And then if we had to revisit that in the next meeting, we can do that. 00:21:54.680 --> 00:22:09.980 Yes, yes, yes, yes. 00:22:09.980 --> 00:22:17.280 And let's make a motion that we keep it as proposed by Eddie with the ability to change 00:22:17.280 --> 00:22:22.080 it based on the new information that he's going to gather. 00:22:22.080 --> 00:22:25.240 And I'll second. 00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:33.720 Everyone in favor? 00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:49.680 Aye, aye, aye, aye, yes. 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:53.400 And item D is received for nominations and elect chair and vice chair for the Public 00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:54.400 Art Committee. 00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:55.400 All right. 00:22:55.400 --> 00:23:06.480 So on an annual basis, very similar to the calendar. 00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:12.400 I know we're a little bit off on how members were on board. 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:20.280 Basically, normally they would be on board around August or September, and new members 00:23:20.280 --> 00:23:21.560 would start around September. 00:23:21.560 --> 00:23:24.520 But since COVID, everything got pushed back. 00:23:24.520 --> 00:23:33.200 So on an annual basis, we had to elect a new chair or vice chair. 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.840 And I don't know if you've all seen the attachment. 00:23:35.840 --> 00:23:38.640 I believe it's on the second attachment. 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.520 I believe it gives you a little bit of a guideline. 00:23:41.520 --> 00:23:49.040 So if we're going to start with the chair first, and then once when the nomination everyone 00:23:49.040 --> 00:23:51.480 approves of, we'll go to the vice chair next. 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:58.760 So anyone can nominate, anyone you can nominate yourself within this meeting right now. 00:23:58.760 --> 00:24:02.000 And then we're going to do it by the order by nominations. 00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:07.760 And once when we get the majority vote, then just assuming, I don't remember how many members 00:24:07.760 --> 00:24:13.280 do we have in here, but to say we have five or six members, if we have way beyond three 00:24:13.280 --> 00:24:19.760 or four votes, then that would be the majority vote, and we can stop from there. 00:24:19.760 --> 00:24:33.680 So once we identify the chair and a vice chair right prior to the conclusion of the meeting, 00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:38.040 the chair will be taking effect immediately, and they're going to close out the meeting 00:24:38.040 --> 00:24:40.240 from here on. 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:45.360 So I guess the first step is for Monet to ask if there's any nominations, and then everyone 00:24:45.360 --> 00:24:46.520 will start voting on them. 00:24:46.520 --> 00:24:58.640 There's not going to be a second or someone meets you second, you know, or it at all. 00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:04.460 It's just everyone just kind of votes yea or nay. 00:25:04.460 --> 00:25:06.280 Any nominations for chair? 00:25:06.280 --> 00:25:08.240 I'll nominate myself. 00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:10.720 I'll second your nomination for yourself. 00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:16.680 You don't need to second, just. 00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:25.080 Okay, well, I guess Monet nominated herself. 00:25:25.080 --> 00:25:29.560 I vote Monet. 00:25:29.560 --> 00:25:33.540 Are the current chair and vice chair, are they present? 00:25:33.540 --> 00:25:38.120 Forgive me for not knowing. 00:25:38.120 --> 00:25:49.600 Michelle isn't here, she's vice chair. 00:25:49.600 --> 00:25:52.560 So it's round robin, we all go round vote? 00:25:52.560 --> 00:25:53.560 Yes. 00:25:53.560 --> 00:26:01.960 If there's no other nominations, there's no other other nominations than a day you can 00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:07.960 ask one more time, then you can go out and close it out and ask for everyone to vote. 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:08.960 Okay. 00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:25.660 Are there any more nominations for the chair? 00:26:25.660 --> 00:26:29.760 We just need a vote from everyone now. 00:26:29.760 --> 00:26:31.360 All in favor for Monet? 00:26:31.360 --> 00:26:32.360 Aye. 00:26:32.360 --> 00:26:33.360 Aye. 00:26:33.360 --> 00:26:34.360 Aye. 00:26:34.360 --> 00:26:35.360 Aye. 00:26:35.360 --> 00:26:36.360 Aye. 00:26:36.360 --> 00:26:39.360 All in favor? 00:26:39.360 --> 00:26:40.360 Aye. 00:26:40.360 --> 00:26:41.360 Aye. 00:26:41.360 --> 00:26:42.360 Aye. 00:26:42.360 --> 00:26:43.360 Aye. 00:26:43.360 --> 00:26:44.360 Aye. 00:26:44.360 --> 00:26:45.360 Aye. 00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:46.360 Aye. 00:26:46.360 --> 00:26:47.360 Aye. 00:26:47.360 --> 00:26:48.360 Aye. 00:26:48.360 --> 00:26:49.360 Aye. 00:26:49.360 --> 00:26:50.360 Aye. 00:26:50.360 --> 00:26:51.360 Aye. 00:26:51.360 --> 00:26:52.360 Aye. 00:26:52.360 --> 00:26:53.360 Aye. 00:26:53.360 --> 00:26:54.360 Aye. 00:26:54.360 --> 00:26:55.360 Aye. 00:26:55.360 --> 00:26:56.360 Aye. 00:26:56.360 --> 00:26:57.360 Aye. 00:26:57.360 --> 00:26:58.360 Aye. 00:26:58.360 --> 00:26:59.360 It wasn't my preference. 00:26:59.360 --> 00:27:08.640 Well, Fred, you do have the option of not accepting the nomination. 00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:11.760 I think I will decline the nomination at this time. 00:27:11.760 --> 00:27:12.760 Okay. 00:27:12.760 --> 00:27:17.640 But thank you for the consideration. 00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:24.720 Do we have any other nominations? 00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:38.640 Do we need to nominate -- I was going to nominate Meredith Bowie if she would be willing to accept. 00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:41.280 I was too, I declined. 00:27:41.280 --> 00:27:46.360 I tell you what, I'll nominate myself if Monet promises to never miss a meeting. 00:27:46.360 --> 00:27:47.360 How about that? 00:27:47.360 --> 00:27:48.360 I should. 00:27:48.360 --> 00:27:49.360 At home working. 00:27:49.360 --> 00:27:50.360 Meredith, are you interested? 00:27:50.360 --> 00:27:54.920 Meredith, are you interested? 00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:57.560 I was going to nominate you as well. 00:27:57.560 --> 00:27:59.560 Hold on for a second. 00:27:59.560 --> 00:28:01.560 Meredith, are you interested? 00:28:01.560 --> 00:28:02.560 Meredith, nominated? 00:28:02.560 --> 00:28:03.560 No, thank you. 00:28:03.560 --> 00:28:06.600 I would -- Ed would be lovely. 00:28:06.600 --> 00:28:07.600 Thank you. 00:28:07.600 --> 00:28:11.120 But who nominated Meredith just for meeting purposes? 00:28:11.120 --> 00:28:12.920 I did initially. 00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:13.920 And then I, Georgina. 00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:16.120 We're playing hot potato here. 00:28:16.120 --> 00:28:17.120 Yes. 00:28:17.120 --> 00:28:22.200 All right, so we have Ed Steele as the nomination for vice chair. 00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.640 Do we have any other nominations? 00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:33.760 I was thinking Jody, but she's not here. 00:28:33.760 --> 00:28:35.880 My understanding is Jody's no longer on the committee. 00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:36.880 Okay. 00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:41.080 And you can still nominate any members that are current right now. 00:28:41.080 --> 00:28:44.160 So if they're not here in this meeting, you know, for example, Michelle, you can nominate 00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:45.160 her. 00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:54.360 Well, since we do have Ed Steele as a vice chair, we'll give it a couple of seconds. 00:28:54.360 --> 00:28:58.360 Do we have any other nominations? 00:28:58.360 --> 00:29:00.560 Thanks for the vote of confidence, by the way, Monet. 00:29:00.560 --> 00:29:02.680 I'm going to vote for you. 00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:10.920 All right, do we have a -- let's take a vote on the vice chair, everyone, for Ed Steele. 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:11.920 Aye. 00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:12.920 Aye. 00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:13.920 Aye. 00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:14.920 Aye. 00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:15.920 Aye.

00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:43.000 Any concluding items? 00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:47.800 The one thing that staff has for -- I wouldn't say it's concluding items, but an update that 00:29:47.800 --> 00:29:55.560 we will have for you or we hope to have for you at our next meeting will be the rendering 00:29:55.560 --> 00:30:07.400 of industrial park for the marrying of the DWIF -- excuse me, the DWIF sculpture with 00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:10.760 the reconstruction of industrial. 00:30:10.760 --> 00:30:16.640 I don't know if anyone, if you remember, I remember bringing it to you years ago, I think 00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:21.320 it was two, two and a half years ago, the original rendering of industrial, we had talked 00:30:21.320 --> 00:30:26.720 about maybe some art pieces on the side wall, now we have this beautiful sculpture and art 00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:30.920 piece that will be really in the middle of the park, and if you remember right, you know, 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:37.280 we had that small kind of, you know, one person, two person kind of stage, kind of almost in 00:30:37.280 --> 00:30:38.280 the middle of the park. 00:30:38.280 --> 00:30:43.360 We're going to kind of keep that same concept and really make the art piece the backdrop 00:30:43.360 --> 00:30:48.000 for that area, and I think you're really going to like it, but we definitely want to bring 00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:49.000 it to you. 00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:52.960 It hopefully -- it looks like it will be ready in six weeks, so we'll be able to bring it 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:58.320 to you for your vote on that, so it will really -- I'm really excited about it. 00:30:58.320 --> 00:31:03.400 I know I'm kind of mumbling, but it will really make that area pop and really enhance the 00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:10.440 DWIF sculpture that way people can access it, they can get to it, they can experience 00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:17.000 it, and really it just be a destination for all of us to be able to go enjoy plus everyone 00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:25.680 around and hopefully nationally be able to come see it, so -- and of course be looking 00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:32.120 out for emails to volunteer yourself to sit on those subcommittees for those other two 00:31:32.120 --> 00:31:38.280 art pieces for the tennis center and the fire station. 00:31:38.280 --> 00:31:46.160 >> Any more questions, concerns? 00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:49.760 >> And if you -- I just wanted to give you an update. 00:31:49.760 --> 00:31:57.040 I did speak to Mr. Finch, Carl Finch from Brave Combo. 00:31:57.040 --> 00:32:02.000 We talked about last meeting, and I know, Ed, you had to miss last meeting, but we kind 00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:09.040 of -- we talked about the artwork and the stamp concrete that's going to be in stamp 00:32:09.040 --> 00:32:16.200 columns that are going to be on the new I-35, so when they finish the I-35 merge and I-35 00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:22.880 north and parts of I-35W, instead of hanging medallions on those walls, they're going to 00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:31.000 be stamped, stamped panels like what they have on I-35E along, you know, Lake Louisville, 00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:38.800 so that was thought of as a music theme, and so we are -- you know, I've had several conversations 00:32:38.800 --> 00:32:43.200 and meetings with him, and so we're going to sit down in person soon and kind of go 00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:48.400 over some different drawings, so we'll be -- that'll be a future, granted, that's probably 00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:54.040 about five years out, the construction of I-35 that TechStop is selling us right now, 00:32:54.040 --> 00:33:01.200 so that will be a future task that we'll bring to you on kind of us picking out a artist 00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:08.040 to be able to help us with those stamped concrete and walls, so I just want to give you an update 00:33:08.040 --> 00:33:10.120 that we're continuing to work on that. 00:33:10.120 --> 00:33:13.600 I know five years seems like a long time, but it'll be here before we know it, and we 00:33:13.600 --> 00:33:17.760 need to be prepared, so. 00:33:17.760 --> 00:33:28.160 Any more questions? 00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:29.160 Nothing else? 00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:30.560 We can conclude the meeting at 1233.
