Cultural Council Agenda DATE Page 7 of 11 to Public Notice this year. The sculptor (Greg Fields) has been updated about this. - A sculpture is being commissioned by a community group, Marshall Rising — it will commemorate pets that were lost in the Marshall Fire. This sculpture can't go on Open Space (includes Dog Park) without rezoning Open Space through a public vote. Marshall Rising is currently working on fundraising, and are looking at potentially putting the sculpture in the Arboretum. Once Marshall Rising gets further in the process, the art will go to Public Notice. A sculpture designed to go South street Underpass. Area initially chosen is along the right of way of Burlington Northern Santa Fe. Currently trying to get insurance for railroad to work with us for approval, one of the last steps. Funding will come from the LRC. Sculpture has not gone through public notice. - Library mural on the plaza update: two entries were received and it's going through the process and will be presented to us next month. Funding will come from outside LCC. Community Resilience: Another piece of public art is the "Community Resilience" sculpture that the LCC put a call out for in 2022, reviewed entries with a jury of community members/fire survivors/first responders/business owner that overwhelmingly selected this piece. The LCC reviewed that, and the piece went to public notice. There were no comments during public notice, and the LCC voted to recommend the piece to City Council. City Council has provided direction that we need to provide more locations and find a way to survey the opinions of more of the community, a process that will happen this year with Neighborhood Liaisons, and potentially engaging leaders from Marshall ROC, Marshall Together, and Louisville Rising. It is possible that "Community Resilience" will still move forward. If City Council/the community decides on a different piece of art and/or a different location, the call for entry and public art process will have to start over. If that happens, it's possible it will be beyond the scope of LCC. -JR asks if we can explore an extension to use the 2022 funds for the Marshal Fire public art piece. Beth is against giving funds back. Sharon says a budget amendment can be requested to carry the 2022 funds forward. Mark directs is that we carry forward the 25k in the budget. Erica states that during the Feb 7t" meeting they will present choices for design and location and it is still possible that this piece will be completed as intended. Beth asks why the city council does not suggest a place of placement for the sculpture and then have the LCC (and the public) decide on whether that is appropriate or not. Pat can see that if it doesn't happen as written, she can see an artist suing the city.
