MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL UPDATE The Centennial Committee joined the Mountain Festival Meeting on February 16, 2017 to coordinate initiatives for this year’s celebration. There will be an educational tent as well as a student innovation corner (3D Printer, Robotics Club, etc.). Friday will be geared more toward education and Saturday will be more for family.

DECORATING UTILITY BOXES [DUB] PAB members reviewed and commented on the Request for Qualifications Member Boles drafted targeting local artists (EP Light & Power service area) that have been residents for a minimum of 6 months. The selections will be made based solely on the art provided, and not on the artist. Sample art submissions will be sent to Megan Van Hoozer, Public Works Adm inistrative Assistant, no later than March 10, 2017. These submissions will be compiled and brought back to the PAB at the March 17 meeting for a group decision. The PAB would like to get three to five utility boxes decorated in Summer 2017. Parks Advisory Board – February 17, 2017 – Page 2 Member Boles presented a photo array of submissions for the vinyl wrap testing of the utility box located near the police station. The PAB selected both Captain Eric Rose’s photo of two elk on the mountainside, and Member Boles’ photo of Mills Lake. The two selected photos will be mocked up by Bill Slater to show how they’d appear on the utility box and will be sent to members for review. The wrap selected will be applied to the box in late May or early June, 2017. PARKS DIVISION UPDATE Supervisor Brian Berg presented the new dismount decals (bicycles, skateboards) to the PAB. The decals will be applied to the sidewalk pavement using heat for better adherence. Each decal is 3’x3’ and is approximately $150 each. The Parks Division is determining the best way to provide future sidewalk clearing (snow, ice, etc.) without damaging the decals. A few other items being address by the Parks Division are relocating the rocks residing at Bond Park, tunnel lighting, and glow-in-the-dark footprints throughout the tunnel. OTHER BUSINESS With no other business to discuss, Co-Chair Moore adjourned the meeting at 12:04 p.m.
