VIII. Public Art a. Public Art Committee Update - Mark and Beth will continue to determine some possible good sights for a mural in and around town. Kim asked about public art funds. Katie said we have $33,000 for public art. Funds can be rolled over if we have signed contracts before Dec 31, 2020. Adam said we have time to get things in place before the end of the year. Kim will head this and Debbie will help. Adam, we need a proposal from the artists to evaluate, get public comment and have approval from the city. Katie will ask city council if they are ok for the LCC to determine appropriate artists without the 45 day wait. IX. Changes to the grant application to include artists compensation for the first time. Kim asked about project budget artists submit for the grant. Artists enrichment should be separate. Debbie suggested 2 different budgets for different categories, project budget for enrichment or for the projects needs. Recipients should fill out for one application for grant money. Kim agrees. Leah inquired about outreach for artists that may not know they can apply for grant funds for enrichment purposes. Katie said information is listed on several city websites/emails/social media. DBA and Chamber receive all communication from the council. Katie requested proof read of final application, Kate will do that. b. Crosswalk Beautification Project - Kim, does public works still want our help, very little interest in the process. LCC has decided to focus on our budget and projects for the rest of 2020. c.
