Comprehensive Plan and added he felt the Comprehensive Plan was very well received by the
Planning Commission.
C. Arts & Culture Commission Work Plan
Chair Rubin reviewed the work plan and went through the initiatives.
Commissioner Gunness informed the commission the deadline for submitting applications for the
sculptures to have their piece considered to be part of the rotating exhibit was April 20. The
original timeline indicates the selection of the piece would be May 5 with the installation and a
reception for the artist on June 5. However, the timeline of that is complex with Liaison Frey’s
departure since he did the majority of the work on the project.
Assistant Parks & Recreation Director Faus indicated she recently met with City Manager Neal,
Parks & Recreation Director Kattreh and Commissioner Gunness to discuss the timing of the
project. The direction they received was to delay the project. The plan is to reach out to the
ten applicants and let those artists know they don’t feel they have the staff or resources to do it
correctly and would like to extend the deadline to the beginning of August when the new
General Manager will have hopefully been on board a few months.
The commission had a discussion and recommended to postpone it until 2019.
Motion made by Suckow that this year given the change that the professional artist
aspect of it be delayed and the resources be refocused on the student competition and
other public art needs to be identified by the working group and the commission. Motion
seconded by Rubin. Motion carried.
VII. Chair and Member Comments
