Leah asked is it considered public art, Katie said it would be, especially as a temporary thing. Kate asked about resources, Eric replied it is self funded, he's wondering if he would just need permission from the city. The LCC can help Eric get approval for his project, and introduce him to the members and Katie Zoss. Mark motions to approve Erics project to be on main street through the road closure, Kate seconds.

The Art center is still capped at 10. BVSD is working with the city to use city space to help with home learning by creating programs for kids on Monday's when there is no online learning.
