TRUSTEE LIAISON UPDATES
Trustee Younglund introduced herself as the new Town Board liaison to the PAB, and
members briefly introduced themselves.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES DATED APRIL 21, 2022
It was moved and seconded (Papineau/Berry) to approve the April 21, 2022, meeting
minutes, and the motion passed unanimously.
NOLA CREATIVE COMPANY
Presenter DeAngelis of NOLA Creative Company provided a brief overview of her
personal and professional background, and distributed a sample brochure of a Sculpture
in the Square exhibit, which was produced by her company’s Sculpture on Loan program.
She described the program’s exhibits in Fort Collins, Wellington, Johnstown, and
Windsor; the enthusiastic collaboration she enjoys with fellow artists; and the overall
support for art in most communities. Discussion points included how the artwork is
solicited and its location determined; average space requirements and methods of custom
installation for smaller (2 x 2) and larger (3 x 3) sculptures; the hosting organization’s
function as an art gallery; typical cost for the program (15k for start-up labor and materials;
1,500-2,000 stipend for artist; 15-17k to feature six artwork pieces for one year; minimal
insurance paid by customer); contract coordination; and the general timeline for launching
a program. NOLA would be a private contractor paid through the Art in Public Places
(AIPP) program, and prioritizes working with local artists when possible.
ARBOR DAY RECAP
Supervisor Berg and Vice-Chair Poggenpohl reported that all 350 blue spruce saplings
were given away during the April 21 Arbor Day Tree Giveaway. It was agreed that the
event would continue next year, and that better and heartier trees could be considered.
ARTS MASTER PLAN UPDATES
Vice-Chair Poggenpohl distributed a memo to the PAB regarding possible University of
Colorado Denver support in developing the Arts Master Plan (AMP). A student team,
under faculty direction, could complete the AMP in one or two semesters, with
reimbursement for certain expenses. Member Wilcocks will review this option with the
arts community, which is fully committed to volunteer its time. It was emphasized that the
Town Board has already expressed support for an AMP but needs assurance that staff
would not be responsible for its development; the PAB should be the official liaison to the
AMP’s development until its ultimate adoption, similar to the role of the Transportation
Advisory Board (TAB) in projects it supports and formally recommends in a letter of
support to the Town Board. Further discussion points included the potential for grant
funding this summer; the AMP’s need to define ownership policies and curatorial

responsibilities; the role of the AMP as a tool and guide for the Town and the arts
community; encouraging the public to vocalize support during Public Comment at Town
Board meetings; and the nature of Estes Park primarily as a recreation destination. It was
agreed that the PAB would present and discuss, at its June 16 meeting, how to prepare
the AMP development plan for formal presentation to the Town Board.
PARKS UPDATE
It was moved and seconded (Poggenpohl/Papineau) to approve the chainsaw work
on the stump in the Sensory Garden, and the motion passed unanimously.
OTHER BUSINESS
Trustee Younglund advised that three applications have been received thus far for the
two PAB vacancies.
There being no further business, Chair Elliot adjourned the meeting at 8:59 a.m.
