III. NEW BUSINESS
Return
Artists Bill Wilhelmi and Greg Reuter met with Commissioners to discuss the restoration of "Return".
After discussing the options presented in a letter from Dykema Architects, Inc. the artists decided that if
the Commission decided to pull up each piece of tile, clean it, repair the subfloor, then reinstall the
artwork they would be willing to serve as advisors to the process. If the Commission decided to remove
and replace the artwork with an entirely new mural they would be willing to re-create the artwork. After
further discussion Sharon moved that the Commission pursue the first option of preserving the original
artwork. Paul seconded. Motion was unanimously approved. By general consensus the
Commissioners requested City staff look into having the artwork appraised to determine the value of the
restored art.
