OLD BUSINESS Public Art Projects, Administration and Conservation Reba gave a brief update on several projects. • Six and Seven Flowers: Tai Pomara will be submitting a new restoration plan as his original proposal called for sand blasting and the current TCEQ permitting requirements will cause significant delay in the work schedule. • Bromeliad: The airport will be relocating their rental car parking lot to where Bromeliad is currently located and they do not have another on site location that would be appropriate to move the sculpture to. They are requesting that it be removed from the airport. City Staff is putting together a team to make a recommendation as to the feasibility and the cost of restoration & relocation of the sculpture. 4:18 Paul Duke entered the meeting • The Oso Bay Blue Herron piece is still scheduled to be installed the week after Thanksgiving. City Staff is looking into the necessary lighting. Brad recommended Jerry Culminano and Cathy agreed that he is highly qualified. Arts Grant City Staff gave a brief review of the funding available for the 2016 Arts Grants and requested consideration of setting aside funds to print the redesigned Public Art Book. The Commissioners discussed the scores and scoring process. City Staff presented the Commissioners with a tally of their scores both in raw scores and in ranked order. The Commissioners chose to fund the qualifying applications based on a curved score so that the highest ranking applicants received more funding than the lower ranked applicants. Stephen moved to approve the scores and funding as proposed and to set aside the remaining balance for the printing of the Public Art Book. Cathy Harrison seconded. Motion unanimously passed. City Staff will contact the 3 applicants who did not meet the minimum score for funding on Wednesday, November 11th. All three applicants will have the option to make an appeal and will have until, Wednesday, November 18th to do so. If an appeal is made the Commissioners will meet again on Thursday, November 19th to discuss the merits of the appeal. 1 VI.
