IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS AND POSSIBLE ACTION:
• Discussion and action on Urban Vision: Enhancement to La Retama Park—A poll of committee
members indicated the project was worthy of some type of support and it would be used by the
community. It was also determined that many thought the park project will not bring in tourists
and that it won't be used by that many people. Question: How many people would use it?
"Wouldn't want the project to conflict with Cole Park.
Anne Stewart moved and DeAnne Gould-Lancaster 2"d, to send a letter of thanks to Norma
Urban for the presentation and to request the following:
What's been done; what else is proposed and what does Ms. Urban want from Arts and
Cultural Commission; a timeline of the project; a copy of the Power Point; and what other groups
are supporting the project. Motion passed unanimously.
Decision about what to do was tabled to the next meeting.
• Discussion and action on determining late arrivals to Commission meetings being considered an
absence - Some Bylaws indicate that if you miss 1/2 of the items on the agenda, then you are
considered late. An Ad Hoc committee will be formed to pursue this issue.
• Artist for Northwest Library-The Peer Panel met at Heritage Park to consider two proposals.
One from Aloe Tile and the other from Sheila Rogers. The Peer Panel decided it needed more
input on the designs, so Joe Pena is formulating an email to be sure the Peer Panel concerns are
met. Then the artists can resubmit a design. There is a tentative meeting scheduled for July.
