OLD BUSINESS

Summer Celebration 2005

Jane reminded us that our next Summer Celebration meeting will be June 2 at 6:30 pm and will be held at her home. Jane requested payment from the NEA and stated it should be here soon. Lesley created flyers and had them copied at city hall. She will also make sure that flyers get into the local water bills. Jami took flyers to all grade schools and the gallery.

Centennial Arts Project Update

According to Mimi Nears, the artist, everything should be ready for the final installation before the end of the month.

Percent for Art

Katinka stated that the architect for the new library’s floor plan should be completed by the 13^th. And the Arts Commission should choose a selection committee by the end of June. The Selection Committee will consist of one member from the Arts Commission – Angel volunteered; two art professionals – Lesley will ask Jack Townes, Steve Niichel, Sue Dumolt, Catherine Kumlin, or Stevan Allred if any of them are interested in serving; two interested community members; one library person – Katinka volunteered; and one member of the Architect’s team.

Katinka stated that hopefully by July 1^st, we should know where art area sites will be situated in the new library. Our goals are to get the RFP’s out by August 1^st and to have an artist selected by October 1^st.

NEW BUSINESS

New officers were elected: Gloria Polzin will chair the committee, Angel Austin will be the vice-chair, Jami Berry will continue as Secretary, and Mauragrace Healy will be the Tresurer.

This was Katinka Bryk’s last meeting as her term was up and the Arts Commission would like to sincerely thank her for all her very hard work and dedication to this commission and to the city.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 pm.

The next meeting will be held July 6, 2005.
