Present: Merle Moore Celine Lebeau Dewain Lockwood Terry Rustin Ronna Boles Also Present:Greg Muhonen, Director of Public Works Bob Holcomb, Trustee Liaison Kevin McEachern, Public Works Operations Manager Brian Berg, Parks Division Supervisor Jen Imber, Public Works Administrative Assistant Sam Phillips, Contract Administrative Assistant Bob Brunson, Rotary Absent: Two Board Vacancies Chair Lebeau called the meeting to order at 11:08 a.m. GENERAL BUSINESS It was moved and seconded (Lockwood/Boles) to approve the September 18th meeting minutes and the motion passed unanimously. Bob Brunson began the meeting by discussing the green apple statue outside the Library and the history behind it. With the help of the Noontime Rotary Club, the statue was donated but presently does not include the story behind the statue nor why Herb Mignery, the sculptor, created the statue. Bob put forth the idea to add a Rotary plaque at the bottom of the statue that tells the story behind it along with the artist’s signature at the base and the rotary symbol at the top. Concerns were raised by PAB members in regards to the installation cost coupled with the plaque and also for the size of the lettering in reference the specific cost associated. The Noontime Rotary Club will pay for the plaque and the installation. Brian Berg also wanted to clarify the language of the plaque. Chair Lebeau requested to see a final review before it is placed onto the piece and reiterated that Brunson needed to fill out the appropriate AIPP form and email it to the Public Works department. Upon initial approval from the Parks Advisory Board and Public Works, the proposal will be presented to the Town Board for final approval. Brian Berg stated the Town will sell the curtain burner due to safety concerns associated with using it. Light and Power, alongside the CEO of Art Collective and James Frank, are working on artwork for the green electrical boxes and are trialing wallpapers to see if they can withstand the winter. Upon inspection after winter, they will present this idea to the PAB for further product placement. Rotary has given blessing to reconstruct the Library reading area on the north side of Town Hall. Brian Berg reminded members that the Open Lands naming policy will be next on the docket for PAB to consider and create ordinances and guidelines. Parks Advisory Board – October 16th, 2015 – Page 2 OVERVIEW OF TUNNEL PRESENTATIONS Brian Berg asked thoughts and input from PAB members regarding the tunnel presentations given during the last two meetings. Regarding the laser light idea, Terry Rustin voiced concern over the “grey” lighting in fear that the concrete would absorb more light than wanted therefore changing the desired effect. He recommended that the tunnel possibly be painted to reflect the light better. In response to the tile presentation, Brian suggested using the tiles in storage to fill vacant tunnel spots and fill in the rest of the tunnel as additional tiles are created by the school students. PAB members were curious over the installation costs of the tiles. Ronna Boles suggested that fundraising be used to cover half of the funds rather than placing the responsibility of the entire bill on the Town. No contact has been initiated with CDOT on the issue of the property as of yet. Chair Lebeau reiterated that in order to move forward, the proper forms need to be filled out alongside installation costs and expectations from the town. REVISIONS TO AIPP POLICIES Merle Moore and Terry Rustin began the dialogue by discussing their process of taking pictures for inventory. The concept and details for the brochure were discussed as a sample brochure was passed around for review. Members discussed the classification of pieces as art or landscaping, with the decision that mass produced pieces do not fit the guidelines for art and would be considered landscaping pieces. The board also discussed handling approval of plaques and decided the donor would be required to present a final proof showing plaque design and wording. In the future, presentations to PAB will only take place after the AIPP process has been followed and the proper forms have been completed and submitted to the board for review. With no other business to discuss, a motion was made and seconded (Lebeau/Boles) to adjourn the meeting at 12:08 pm, with all voting in favor.
