III. WORKSHOP
A. Banners — Dreyfoos School of the Arts.
Amy Stepper presented to the board the possibility of incorporating the City's
banner program with hanging painted banners at the Green Market. The
Green Market runs from October 17, 2004 until April 17, 2005. The location
is just east on City Hall, next to the ball park.
There was much discussion as to whether the board wanted to use the City's
banner program for this purpose. The board agreed that they did not want to
do banners for the purpose of advertising the Green Market. Amy Stepper
asked if the board would support the banners if they were art banners, as
opposed to advertising banners. She felt that the banners would get a lot of
exposure because hundreds of people visit the Green Market weekly. After
more discussion the board said they would support the banners at the Green
Market if they were art banners. The board agreed to pay for the art banners
but any banners that were done for advertising would be paid for by the Parks
and Recreation Department.
Amy stated that Marcia, the teacher at the Dreyfoos School of the Arts, would
like the fabric cut and stitched before the students start painting the banners.
She also suggested that instead of giving $25.00 to the students, the money
should be given to the school. The board felt that they were purchasing art
work and they would pay the school however they wanted it to be paid.
r
Caren Hackman asked Amy Stepper to make sure the wind slits on the
banners are cut properly. They have been cut wrong two years in a row and
she wants to make sure they get it right this year.
The board agreed to OK the project. Amy Stepper will come back with the
budget and the number of banners for final approval.
B. City Hall Lobby and Contiguous Currents lighting presentation given by Paul
Morgan.
On July 27, 2004 Paul Morgan set up a lighting display at the Contiguous
Currents art piece. All board members drove by that evening to see the
display. They all felt the lights looked great and wanted to move forward with
the project. The lights will be placed in a concrete base so they will be easy to
access and protected from the weather.
Paul Morgan will put the plan together along with pricing and send it to
Angela Wong. The board agreed that Paul will give them a quote on a finish
that will last the longest so they do not have to change the fixtures on regular
bases. They suggested Paul give them prices on bronze and stainless steel.
Mark Wilson said he is not sure if the installation will be done in house or if
they will contract it out.
With regard to the City Hall Lobby lighting, Paul Morgan, showed a sample
of a fixture and lighting tract. The board asked Paul to do a plan with specs
and drawings for approval. Mark Wilson stated that the wiring should be
done by in house electrician. The deadline for the lobby lighting is October
20.
III. OLD BUSINESS
None
IV, NEW BUSINESS
Caren Hackman expressed concern because she thought she might not be able
to apply for a new term on this board. She thought there might be a conflict
between the work she does and her membership on the board. David Porter
suggested she write a letter to the City Attorney and express her concern.
Caren agreed to contact the City Attorney and also submit her application to
reapply for membership.
