Discussion among LCC members: Mark Cathcart's presentation and statement about the LCC and the public art process for "Community Resilience" made at the Jan. 9, 2023 City Council meeting. Keely notes that she would like more comradery in the LCC and that she felt "undermined by comments made by Mark" at the Jan. 9, 2023 City Council meeting. She notes that it is challenging to go through the LCC board meeting without addressing Mark's presentation (mentioned above). She expresses that the board and the 2022 Public Art Subcommittee put in hundreds of hours working on the Marshall Fire commemoration sculpture, and that it is difficult to work with someone who chose to go in front of City Council and make statements "to undermine the work and the process". This has created a "disappointing and difficult space" to work in. Beth suggested that LCC members' grievances should be worked out in the LCC monthly meetings, rather than being taken directly to Council.
