Cultural Council Meeting Minutes DATE Page 3 of 6 Clarification needed regarding the booth fee processes. VII. Discussions/Decisions Introduction of Jean Morgan: Jean has a proposal for the Cultural Council to create a Pocket Park. The Northwest Corner of Highway 42 and Pine, there is an old coal car, and it would be interesting to do something to restore that coal car and make the park a City of Louisville. Discussion ensured regarding the feasibility of restoring the old coal car and putting a statute in front of it. Ms. Morgan was thanked for her idea and this proposal will be placed on a future agenda for discussion. Ms. Morgan was asked to provide any information about interested parties who might be recruited to assist in this project providing either time or money to help create this park. John Kinkade has made a recommendation through his consulting company to create a public arts policy. Another interesting project suggested was on Lee Avenue, by Spruce, east of the railroad tracks. There are two (privately owned) cabins that were built by Emmett Trott in the 1930s. Discussion ensued regarding whether the Cultural Council could assist in preserving these cabins.
