OLD BUSINESS
• Nina Nikolova, Staff Liaison Alternate, introduced Angela Wong, Community
Services, Operations Manager.
• Angela Wong stated that Kara Irwin, Growth Management Administrator, AIPP
Staff Liaison, along with Nina Nikolova, will be the staff contact persons for
discussion of finances involved with projects.
• City Council must approve all projects before monies from the Art Impact Fund,
which has a balance of approximately $575,000, can be spent.
• Eric Jablin, Council Member, Council Liaison, explained that he board should
go forward and develop a plan for a sculpture garden and then ask staff to
review and develop the costs involved, after which the proposal can be brought
before Council.
• Lee Bickford, Chair, opened the floor to public discussion.
— Lee Bickford explained she visited the green area directly adjacent to City
Hall and felt it would be a good site for the sculpture garden, citing the
mature trees providing shade and the area not being too close to the road,
thus avoiding fumes from passing vehicles.
— Diane Capella sees the project as a done deal and believes the board should
move forward with it.
— William Leizman, Vice Chair, inquired about the acreage available. Eric
Jablin estimated 2 to 3 acres.
— Eirc Jablin suggested a rotating sculpture garden where artists could display
their work for a limited time.
— Lee Bickford would like a water feature.
— Angela Wong suggested putting the sculpture garden on the next agenda so
appropriate staff could be invited to attend. Ms. Wong will bring
information on site dimensions and an aerial photograph.
— Board members agreed they would like to pursue the idea.
— Myra Davis suggested that use and function be addressed.
• Angela Wong reported the repairs to the PGA Boulevard flyover are in
discussion at this time. Ms. Wong will advise the board when a final resolution
has been reached.
• Lee Bickford mentioned continuing discussion of art around the lake at a later
meeting. William Leizman inquired if the art around the lake project could be
combined with the sculpture garden project?
• Discussion ensued regarding parameters of the two projects and possible
expenses.
• Lee Bickford suggested discussion of the Call to Artists for the art around the
lake be placed on the January agenda, to which all board members agreed.
IX. NEW BUSINESS
At 5:50 p.m. Ellen Dukes left the meeting. Lee Bickford invited Jennifer O'Brien
and Cable Neuhaus to join the regular board members on the dais.
