GENERAL BUSINESS
It was moved and seconded (Lockwood/Boles) to approve the July 17th meeting
minutes, with minor amendments, and the motion passed unanimously.
Kristin Hill gave a presentation on the continuation of the art tiles lining the Highway 36
underpass tunnel along the Riverwalk. The project was started over ten years ago and
remains unfinished. The Estes Park Middle School art class has produced tile murals
that were sold to provide seed money to continue the project. A number of local entities,
schools and businesses are highly interested in supporting the project and would like to
make participation free. The tiles would be funded through local groups, supporters of
the art programs and possible grants, with the Town to pay for tile installation and
maintenance. The goal is to include the underpasses along Highway 36 by the dog park
and the Riverwalk. Artwork would make these underpasses more welcoming, colorful
and bright. The group would like to reignite the program and kick it off by installing
previously made tiles that are currently in storage. The possibility of murals was also
introduced to enhance the tile installation. The project would be continuous and growing
for years to come. Director Muhonen recommended a written agreement to sustain
longevity and provide clarification of parameters. A “champion” of the program should
also be identified to take the lead. Staff also remarked that both underpasses were in
CDOT’s right of way and an agreement with CDOT would have to be in place to
continue the project.

PAB members discussed changing the meeting day and time to better accommodate
schedules and parking during the summer months. The board decided to hold off
selecting a new meeting time until new members are on board.
The Town is currently advertising for new members and has currently received one
application.
REVISIONS TO AIPP POLICIES
Brian Berg reported the issue of insurance was still unaddressed for loaned artwork.
Jackie Williamson was asked about town insurance and said she needed CIRSA to
review the AIPP policy. She advised a similar approach to the method the Museum
uses to insure artifacts on loan. The language in the AIPP policy and guidelines was
modified to reflect this change.
The question of where funds would come from for additional premium for insuring art
was addressed. The possibility of capping the liability or judging to accept high liability
on a case by case basis was also discussed. A motion was made, with one piece of
dissenting discussion, to amend policy with no insurance cap for loaned artwork
(Lebeau/Rustin) with all voting in favor.
Terry Rustin presented an example of how current inventory of Town-owned artwork
could be indexed on the web or in a document.
The local art district is putting together an art “trek” through the area, including galleries
in Town. Chair Lebeau suggested collaborating with this effort by including Town-owned
artwork.
With the meeting out of time, an agenda item was suggested for the next meeting to
discuss putting the AIPP policy and forms on the Town website.
A motion was made and seconded (Boles/Rustin) to adjourn the meeting at 12:03 pm,
with all voting in favor.
