Cultural Council Agenda DATE Page 4 of 7 - Leah says that the date for the fire is coming up and wonders if that is part of the calendar. Emily says there is a website on the City website called Louisville Rebuild. - LCC is included in cultural services meaning that the LCC events can be included in the Library Communications and Cultural Services Newsletters, catalogs and the monthly e-newsletter. - City Council work plan recommendation: Leah asks about where this is in the process. Emily notes that we are still waiting on responses from other boards. Leah explains that this sounds like if we wanted to have a tax that applied to go to LCC we would make a proposal. Mark says in the past the LCC talked about an art on -loan program. Mark says that the LCC needs to decide the big programs we want to put on and go from there. Lisa says that she wonders if there is a way to change a policy in relation to ticket sales or the LCC and how to go about that. Emily says that would probably not rise to the City Council but more of a procedural task. Lisa also agrees that an LCC retreat would be good to bring up as well. 10. 2022 Budget Update (Treasurer, Grace Gee) - No change in the budget. Ava Hamiltion event payment is pending. Keely says that she just received her contract. - Leah is fine with not receiving a plaque gift as a departing LCC member and thinks that the money could go to LCC for other necessary supplies. 11. Public Art Information Item: Public Art Subcommittee Update (Grace Gee/Keely Taylor) Marshall Fire Public Art sculpture - Jury finished reviewing application. Winning sculpture was "Community Resilience". Public notice has been made. After public notice, LCC special Zoom meeting to recommend public art to City Council: Zoom 11/22/22 at 6:30PM for approval to send to City Council for final vote. Mark asks how do we decide about where the statue will go? Grace says that we are in conversation with Public Works and will narrow down due to multiple reasons. Fahey ask the two proposed locations: Memory Square Park and south side of City Hall. Fahey ask why this was not considered in the area of the fire. Grace says that on Main Street would be more visible and more interactive. Keely speaks to the sculpture being on Main Street as it feels like a way to honor all fire survivors in the context of our greater community. Keely says that the jury process and voting was a very positive. - Information Item: South Street Underpass totem installation and funding update
