Recommended changes will be reviewed at the extended June meeting. 1 VI. NEW BUSINESS Selena Memorial Commissioners discussed the damage done to the tile portion of one of the columns at the Selena Memorial Mirador and the possibility of adding a sign or art element to the tile inset of the columns. By general consensus the commissioners made the following recommendations: • Custom order 3 x 3 tiles to match as closely as possible with the current color and replace all the tiles in the broken section. If the color is noticeably different then the recommendation is to replace all the tiles in the two columns that are side by side so that they match. The color should be close enough to the rest of the tile in the Mirador, and far enough away from the other columns, that the average person would not notice the difference. Or • Use the tile from the back of the water fountain to replace the broken tiles, install a wood form in the back of the water fountain and paint it to match the rest of the tile. The Commissioners formally request that if a decision is made to disregard the recommendations above that the ACC be given another opportunity to review the matter. Arts Forum Agenda Discussion centered on what information to present to the Arts Organizations that attend the 2016 Arts Forum. Item was tabled until the May meeting. Public Art Work Plan Item tabled until May meeting. VII.
