3 4. UPDATE BY STAFF LIAISON
4 Brad Wiseman, Planning Manager, Staff Liaison, provided an update to the Board.
5 The City Council denied the flag benches for Garden Station. The applicant was
6 asking for a reduction in the art impact fee which was also denied and this money
7 has been placed back into the art impact fund. The staff inspected Donald Ross
8 Village and found that several pieces of art are not being adequately maintained.
9 This matter has been turned over to Code Enforcement who will notify Donald Ross
10 Village of the code violations in reference to the maintenance of the art work. Brad
11 will provide the Board with updates as they become available.

13 5. OLD BUSINESS
14 Charlotte Presensky, Interim Development Director, provided an update on the PGA
15 Flyover. Currently, she and Angela Wong, Operations Manager, are working on this
16 project. They have accepted a proposal from a company to conduct a professional
17 analysis. An agreement has been drawn up and it is awaiting signature from the
18 consultant. Then it will be reviewed by the legal department and given to the City
19 Manager for final approval. There is no structural damage, it is only discoloration at
20 this point. Charlotte will keep the Board informed with further details as they
21 become available.
22
23 6. NEW BUSINESS
24 Charlotte Presensky also addressed the Lakeside Art project. She informed the
25 Board that they do have the ability to purchase art directly from an artist rather than
26 a call to artists. There is an artist who is interested in designing a piece of art for the
27 City and this would be an original art piece. The Board expressed interest in this and
28 requested that Charlotte provide the artist's portfolio and resume for review. This
29 will be done at next month's meeting.
30
31 Lee Bickford asked the Board if they would be interested in purchasing a piece of art
32 in memory of Marilyn Spungin. She suggested that it could be placed in the Burns
33 Community Center. Everyone agreed that this is a wonderful idea. Charlotte will
34 make sure the fiords are available for this purchase and let the Board know.

Gardens Commerce Center Art — A presentation was made to the Board by
Lucy Keshavarz, Arts Consultant to Pishon Partners. An overview of the project was
presented to the Board. Gardens Commerce Center is located at 10415 Riverside
Drive, approximately one block South of Burns Road. It is a light industrial zoning
with surrounding areas of light industrial zoning. There is a landscape buffer located
along the property line. It is comprised of three buildings, building one houses Thies
Distributing and buildings two and three will house executive and medical offices.
The certificate of occupancy is scheduled for the end of 2007. The proposed location
for the art would be at the main entrance. The budget is approximately $50,000. The
art piece is a contemporary piece with a vertical height of approximately 10 -15 feet.
Building three would act as a visual backdrop to the art piece and the landscaping
would be designed to also enhance the piece. The Board was then given the
opportunity to provide their comments. They would like the art piece to possibly
interact with the building itself and requested resumes for the artists being
considered. The resumes should be available for review with two months' time.
