Two unofficial Board members, Vicky Papineau and Carlie Bangs, who are to be appointed in December, were in attendance and introduced to the current Board members. The December meeting will see the Board at its full capacity. PUBLIC ART ORDINANCE Laurie Mitchell, the Senior Services Director, gave an overview of the Senior Center and its activities. She explained that the art is rotated approximately every 1-12 months with new art appearing throughout the year. She requested that certain pieces throughout the Center be exempt in the upcoming AIPP Consideration process. Board members made a command decision that already existing artwork hung for display shall be grandfathered into the inventory. Merle Moore requested that even pieces that are exempt be included in the Town Artwork Inventory. The Board then switched their thoughts from partial exemption for the Senior Center artwork to full exemption since the Senior Center has had good standing with the Board throughout all of its artwork choices. The Board decided that total exclusion will be given to the Senior Center, which is to be added into the policy before the December PAB meeting. Moore made a motion to include the Senior Center in the exemption list which was seconded by Dewain Lockwood. It was encouraged by the Board members that the Senior Center follows the guidelines per the AIPP policy. REVISIONS TO AIPP POLICIES Parks Advisory Board – November 20th, 2015 – Page 2 Approval was sought for the AIPP brochure created by Merle Moore and Samantha Phillips. With minor edits such as correcting the website link, the brochure was approved and will be presented to the Town Board in a future meeting. Attention was brought to the “Wishful Thinking” sculpture in regards to its water flow feature which fails to function the way the artist intended it to. It was inquired on whether Parks Supervisor Brian Berg and Public Works Director Greg Muhonen could assess the piece and brainstorm a way to keep the water flowing while being able to clean it easier and properly. The piece is at an exceptionally difficult location in regards to spring runoff making it dangerous for maintenance. OPEN LANDS NAMING POLICY DISCUSSION Brian Berg gave a brief overview of the Naming of Town-Owned Property Facilities, which was created by Assistant Town Administrator Travis Machalek. Travis gave special attention to the clarifying both 3.a.iii and 3.b.i. with Board members who were concerned over what significance level must be reached by an individual, or business, for The Town to consider naming a facility after that individual. With no other business to be discussed, Chair Lebeau adjourned the meeting at 11:56 am, with all voting in favor.
