TWO PRESENTATIONS. 
          AND FIRST, WE ARE GOING TO BE HEARING ABOUT THE TRUE HEART OF PETALUMA AND OWED TO THE FAIRGROUNDS. 
          UH, NUMBER ONE, A PHOTO MURAL INSTALLATION. 
          AND WE'LL BE HEARING FROM, UM, ACT OR, UH, STAFF MEMBER, UH, PUBLIC ARTS SPECIALIST. 
          MELISSA AUBREY CROMBIE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          IT'S A PLEASURE TO HAVE A FULL HOUSE. 
          I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR EVERYBODY WHO APPLIED FOR THEIR POSITIONS ON THIS COMMITTEE, AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO WORK WITH ALL OF YOU. 
          SO I KNOW IT'S AN INTERESTING MEETING TONIGHT. 
          WE HAVE A LOT THAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED IN THE MONTHS THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO MEET, AND I THINK IT'S PRETTY EXCITING AND WE'LL SET A TONE FOR HOW WE APPROACH MOVING FORWARD. 
          SO I'LL BEGIN FIRST WITH, UM, MICHAEL DARLINGTON'S PIECE, WHICH IS CALLED, UM, IT STARTED OUT AS THE FAIRGROUNDS ART PROJECT. 
          UM, IT CAME OUT OF A REQUEST FROM THE CITY MANAGER TO WANT TO BEAUTIFY THE FAIRGROUNDS. 
          IT WAS OUTSIDE OF THE PUBLIC ART FUNDS PURVIEW. 
          LIKE WE DIDN'T PAY FOR IT FROM OUR FUNDS, BUT IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DO A PROJECT HERE. 
          UM, AND MAINLY OUR ROLE IN IT WAS THAT STAFF SUPPORTED IT. 
          UM, WE CREATED A BUDGET THAT WAS LEAN AND WE FOUND AN ARTIST MICHAEL, WITH DARLINGTON, WHO WAS WILLING TO WORK ON THIS PROJECT. 
          IT ENDED UP, THE TITLE IS THE TRUE HEART OF PETALUMA OWED TO THE FAIRGROUNDS NUMBER ONE MICHAEL. 
          UM, OUR, I GUESS I SHOULD START BY SAYING OUR GOAL WITH THIS IS, WAS MULTIFOLD . 
          UM, WE WANTED TO CREATE A VISION AND A WORK OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND COLLAGE THAT WOULD HONOR THE RICH CULTURAL HISTORY OF THE PETALUMA FAIRGROUNDS. 
          ITS USES OLD AND NEW, AND THE PROMISE IT OFFERS FOR THE FUTURE OF PETALUMA. 
          OUR MISSION WAS TO PROTECT, PORTRAY A HOLISTIC VERSION OF OR VISION OF PETALUMA FAIRGROUNDS THAT INCORPORATES THE ARTS CULTURE, HISTORY, SAFETY, AND GATHERING THAT TAKES PLACE THERE THAT WE MAY ALL NOT BE AWARE OF WHEN WE JUST LOOK AT OUR OWN LIMITED USES. 
          SO IT'S KIND OF TAKING A REALLY EXPANSIVE LOOK AT LIKE ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLAYERS THAT HAVE LIFE THAT COMES TO AND FROM THE FAIRGROUNDS. 
          UM, WE WANTED TO CELEBRATE PETALUMA BY ACKNOWLEDGING THE VARIETY OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO MAKING IT THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY. 
          WE WANTED TO DEMONSTRATE OUR COMMITMENT TO KEEPING THE GROUNDS OPEN AS A COMMUNITY ASSET AND ASSURE THAT THE FAIRGROUNDS OF THE FUTURE IS FOR EVERYONE. 
          THESE ARE EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE PHOTOS. 
          I ALSO HAVE COPIES OF SOME OF THE IMAGES, IF YOU WANNA TAKE A LOOK AT THEM AFTER THE MEETING. 
          NOT ALL OF THEM WERE USED IN THE MURAL, BUT I WANTED TO SHOW YOU WHAT, WHAT WE'VE PROVIDED. 
          SO THE PROJECT SCOPE, UM, MICHAEL GARLINGTON PHOTOGRAPHED SUBJECT PORTRAITS WITH A SUPER GRAPH FLEX FOUR BY FIVE FORMAT CAMERA. 
          IT'S KIND OF OLD TIMEY AND IT WAS A REALLY INTERESTING EXPERIENCE. 
          I THINK EVERYBODY GOT PRETTY EXCITED, BUT IT WAS A ONE SHOT. 
          SO WE WENT UP, TOOK A PICTURE, AND IT WAS OVER WITHIN A MATTER OF SECONDS. 
          AND 
          [00:05:01]
SO EVERYBODY WAS KIND OF SURPRISED TO SEE WHAT THE OUTCOMES WERE. 
          IT REALLY FELT LIKE A, A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE OF A DIFFERENT ERA FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. 
          UM, I PROVIDED ADMINISTRATION, COORDINATION OF PARTICIPANTS AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT. 
          THE ARTIST TOOK APPROXIMATELY A HUNDRED PORTRAITS OF OVER 150 COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 
          WE ATTENDED LIKE, VARIETY OF RIDE AND DRIVE CLUB EVENTS. 
          WE WENT TO DIFFERENT EVENTS AT THE FAIRGROUNDS. 
          WE MET WITH INSTRUCTORS, STUDENTS. 
          IT WAS VERY ORGANIC HOW WE HANDLED IT. 
          WE KNEW WE HAD SOME KEY PLAYERS WE WANTED TO HAVE INVOLVED AND WE DID REACH OUT TO FAIR BOARD MEMBERS TO PEOPLE WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THE INCARNATION OF THE FAIRGROUNDS. 
          A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAD WORKED ON SITE FOR DOZENS OF YEARS. 
          IT JUST KIND OF, IT DOESN'T CAPTURE EVERYONE, BUT WE WANTED TO REALLY TAKE A HOLISTIC APPROACH OF THE, THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT US TO WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY. 
          UM, WE TALKED ABOUT THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY WITH THESE IMAGES, THE FAIRGROUNDS HISTORY, LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, THE RACING COMMUNITY, THE STUDENT POPULATION, THE TEACHERS. 
          SO WE DISTILLED IT ALL DOWN TO A DIGITALLY COLLAGED SEVEN BANNERS. 
          SO EACH BANNER IS 16 FEET IN WIDTH BY 20 FEET. 
          UM, THEY'RE PRINTED ON, UH, 18 OUNCE FINAL WITH UV INK. 
          WE WORKED WITH A PRINTER OUTTA SANTA ROSA WHO COULD GUARANTEE THE QUALITY OF THE INK FOR A MINIMUM OF TWO TO THREE YEARS. 
          SO WE RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A TEMPORARY PROJECT, BUT WE'RE HOPING THAT IT LASTS FOR ENOUGH TIME TO ENJOY IT. 
          AND IF WE WANT IT, WE CAN REPRINT IT. 
          WE NOW KNOW HOW TO DO IT ALL AND IT'S CREATED AND WE MAY WANNA EXPAND IT AT SOME POINT IF WE HAVE THE RESOURCES TO INCLUDE MORE MEMBERS. 
          AND IF YOU HAVE TIME TO GO TO LIKE, UH, TOBY'S, UM, FEED IN, UM, POINT RAISE STATION, YOU'LL SEE THAT HE DID A SIMILAR 300 FOOT LAWN PROJECT AND IT STARTED AS A HUNDRED FEET AND THEN PEOPLE WANTED TO BE INCLUDED AND MORE PEOPLE WANTED TO BE INCLUDED. 
          AND IT JUST GREW AND GREW. 
          AND SO WE'D LIKE TO HAVE THE DOOR OPEN AT SOME POINT THAT THIS COULD BE SOMETHING WE COULD GROW. 
          LIKE WE'VE GOT A BIG FAIRGROUNDS WITH A LOT OF FENCING AND A BIG TOWN THAT LOVES IT. 
          SO WE RECOGNIZE THAT THAT COULD BE SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE WE MIGHT WANNA DO. 
          UM, WE HAD BOOM OPERATORS ASSIST ASSIST IN THE INSTALLATION OF THE VINYL BANNERS ON THE RARE WALL OF THE SPEEDWAY GRANDSTAND. 
          SO THAT SPOT WAS CHOSEN BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZED IT AS JUST A GIANT WALL, AND WE HAD ACCESS TO STUDENTS AND PEOPLE COMING AND GOING ALL THE TIME. 
          SO IT WAS JUST THIS WALL THAT NOBODY REALLY RECOGNIZED AS OF CONSEQUENCE. 
          BUT THE MINUTE WE PUT THE MURAL UP, IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS OVERWHELMINGLY OF CONSEQUENCE. 
          AND RICK, UM, FAITH WHO RUNS THE SPEEDWAY, LIKE HIS IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WAS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE. 
          LIKE, WE PUT IT UP AND HE WAS THE ONE GUY THERE LOOKING AT IT WHEN WE WERE DONE. 
          AND HE JUST HAD LIKE, HIS LIKE TEARS. 
          HE WASN'T CRYING, BUT THERE WAS TEARS IN HIS EYES. 
          AND HE JUST SAID LIKE, I LOVE THIS. 
          LIKE, THIS FEELS GOOD. 
          AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT REALLY FELT LIKE IT WAS THE RIGHT MESSAGE FOR THE FAIRGROUNDS. 
          UM, SO THEY'RE SECURED WITH THESE, UH, CRUIN. 
          THEY'RE LIKE SPECIAL ANCHORS THAT KIND OF BUTTERFLY BEHIND, AND WE HAVE WASHERS TO SUPPORT IT SO IT WON'T TEAR. 
          UM, WE WORKED AROUND THE LIGHTING, SO JUST FOR AN IDEA OF THAT SCOPE, UM, WHO'S IN THE MURAL? THAT WAS WHAT I ALREADY COVERED WHEN I WAS BABBLING. 
          BUT F WE HAD LIKE FIVE DIFFERENT FFAS AND FOUR HS AND TEACHERS. 
          WE HAD PICTURES OF WHOLE CLASSROOMS OF STUDENTS FOR PETALUMA HIGH, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, LIKE THE SCALE OF IT DIDN'T FIT INTO WHAT WE COULD DO HERE. 
          WE WANTED TO KEEP IT WHERE IT WAS READABLE FROM OUTSIDE OF THE RACING GATES. 
          UM, IT WAS FUNDED FROM THE CITY, SO IT WAS A DIRECT PROJECT FROM THE CITY AND WE HOPE IT LASTS TWO TO THREE YEARS. 
          THIS IS A REALLY BEAUTIFUL DRONE IMAGE BY SCOTT HESS. 
          SO HE WAS GREAT. 
          HE SHARED THIS WITH THE NEWSPAPER AND WE'VE BEEN REALLY LUCKY THAT IT'S HAD AN OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE RESPONSE. 
          I HAVE NOT HAD ANY NEGATIVITY TOWARDS THIS, SO THAT FELT REALLY GOOD. 
          UM, SO HERE'S EXAMPLES OF THE IMAGERY AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE PARTICIPANTS, IT'S SEVEN PANELS AND THERE'S BETTER HIGH QUALITY IMAGES ON THE WEBSITE AND YOU CAN CLICK ON THEM AND BLOW THEM UP. 
          AND I ENCOURAGE ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO SOLICIT, UM, COPIES OF IMAGES OF THEMSELVES TO REACH OUT TO ME. 
          I'VE CONTACTED ANYBODY OVER THE PHONE AND THROUGH EMAIL THAT I HAD THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION. 
          UM, AND I HAVEN'T GOTTEN A HUGE RESPONSE YET, BUT MICHAEL'S PRINTED EIGHT BY TENS OF EVERYBODY WHO PARTICIPATED JUST TO REALLY CELEBRATE THEM. 
          AND THEN, UM, HE ALSO OFFERS THE OPTION OF ORDERING MORE. 
          SO PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME M ABERCROMBIE@SOOFPETALUMA.ORG IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO PUT YOU IN CONTACT WITH ME. 
          AND MICHAEL WILL ALSO COME BACK AND BE DOING A PROJECT FOR US, HOPEFULLY FOR LUMA ICE, WHICH I WILL GET TO LATER. 
          SO YOU MAY RECOGNIZE HIM. 
          IT'S A MUCH SMALLER SCALE PROJECT. 
          AND THEN I WANTED TO JUST TAKE A MOMENT. 
          THIS 
          [00:10:01]
IS SOMETHING I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO, UM, LIKE KIND OF AN, A REFLECTION OF WHEN WE FINISH SOMETHING SO THAT WE CAN ALL TALK ABOUT THAT WHEN WE COMPLETE A PIECE OR WHEN WE HIT A MILESTONE OF SOMETHING COMING OFF OUR PLATE. 
          BUT, UM, THIS WAS KIND OF MY TAKEAWAY, WAS THIS PROVIDED A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO MERGE PUBLIC ART WITH THE VALUES OF THE CITY. 
          UM, THE SUBJECTS WERE SELECTED THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT THROUGH DIFFERENT EVENTS FROM MAY TO JUNE OF 2024. 
          DURING THE PROCESS, PEOPLE SHARED THEIR STORIES OF THE FAIRGROUNDS AND THE VALUABLE SPACE IT PROVIDES FOR THE LOCAL AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY, EDUCATION, JUDO, RACING, MUSIC CELEBRATIONS, CRAFT SHOWS, FUNDRAISING. 
          AND I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT NOT ALL THE PHOTOS TAKEN WERE USED IN THE MURAL AND THAT SO MANY MORE PEOPLE CONTRIBUTE TO THE CULTURE FOUND THERE THAT WE HOPE ONE DAY TO CONTINUE THIS VISION. 
          SO I JUST WAS GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY AND YEAH, I, I FELT LIKE IT'S SOMETHING THAT KIND OF GOT TO HAPPEN OFF THE BOOKS A LITTLE BIT. 
          AND, BUT IN THE FUTURE, IF WE HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THIS, I THINK IT'D BE GREAT FOR ALL OF US TO HELP IDENTIFY PARTNERS AND GROW THIS KIND OF PROJECT THAT'S MAYBE MORE ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS NECESSARILY THAN PUBLIC ART. 
          BUT IT'S, IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS VALUE. 
          ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO US. 
          THIS IS A REALLY GREAT, THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST LARGE, UH, COLLABORATIONS WE'VE DONE WITH THE CITY, I THINK, UM, ALONG THESE LINES. 
          SO IT'S EXCITING TO SEE OPPORTUNITIES COME UP AND BE ABLE TO A, BE INVITED INTO THESE OPPORTUNITIES, UM, AS A PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE, BUT ALSO, UM, MELISSA, YOU WERE SUCH A STRONG FORCE IN GETTING THIS OFF THE GROUND, SO I APPLAUD YOU FOR THAT. 
          UM, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS OR? NO? I HAD ONE QUESTION AND UM, I SADLY MISSED THE OPENING CEREMONY, EX EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT I'M WONDERING, I KNOW IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY, IT WAS A BLANK WALL, WHICH IS GREAT. 
          HOW IS, HOW WILL THIS SPACE BE ACTIVATED? ARE, ARE THERE ANY PLANS FOR, YOU KNOW, EVENTS OR ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE OF SPEEDWAY OR HOW, WHOSE PURVIEW IS THIS TO SORT OF REALLY LEVERAGE THIS AND SHARE THIS WITH THE PUBLIC? WELL, THIS IS A PARKS, SO PARKS HELPS MANAGE THE FAIRGROUNDS. 
          NOW CODY IS OUR LIAISON NOW FROM THE RECREATION, MUSIC AND PARKS COMMITTEE, AND THAT'S ONE OF HIS PARKS THAT HE CAN SPEAK TO. 
          BUT WE HAVEN'T, WE HAD INITIAL IDEAS OF HOW WE SAW THIS GROWING AND IT, I NEED A TEAM , LIKE WE NEED TO DISCUSS FROM THE DIOCESE, LIKE HOW WE COULD HANDLE THAT. 
          'CAUSE I'D LIKE TO REACH OUT TO LIKE WEST SIDE STORIES AND SEE LIKE SOMEBODY WHO DOES A STORYTELLING EVENT. 
          I FEEL LIKE I JUST GOT A PHD IN PETALUMA FAIRGROUNDS AND I WANT EVERYBODY TO, 'CAUSE EVERYBODY CAME TO IT WITH A STORY OR LIKE HOW THEY MET THEIR WIFE AT THE FAIRGROUNDS. 
          LIKE I JUST FELT LIKE I WAS LIKE AVAILABLE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT I WANT EVERYBODY TO SEE. 
          SO I, I'VE ENVISIONED SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT WE CONTINUE TO DO. 
          'CAUSE I, IT ALL HAPPENED SO FACET, SO MANY PROJECTS HAPPENED ALL AT ONCE THAT IT WAS LIKE THE FULL HOLISTIC APPROACH DIDN'T NECESSARILY GET TO HAPPEN THE WAY I WANT, BUT I THINK THAT'S LIKE A PICNIC ON THE GREEN OR OPPORTUNITIES, LIKE IT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. 
          LIKE THE, I KNOW THE RACING COMMUNITY HAS BEEN ENJOYING IT SO MUCH. 
          SO I'VE PROVIDED SOME MATERIALS THERE SO PEOPLE CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT, OF IT, ABOUT IT. 
          AND I'LL BE LAMINATING ONE TO HAVE ON SITE SO THAT IT'S KIND OF ATTACHED THERE. 
          'CAUSE IT'S, IT'S HARD TO LEAVE THINGS, YOU KNOW. 
          AND THE LAST TWO RACES FOR THE SEASON ARE THIS SATURDAY AND NEXT SATURDAY. 
          SO, UM, OR NEXT SATURDAY AND THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S A NICE OPPORTUNITY TO GO OUT THERE AND SEE THAT I, I THOUGHT THAT WAS A REALLY WAY TO ACCESS ART TO AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT COMMUNITY THAT NECESSARILY DOESN'T ALWAYS GET LIKE ART AT THE SPEEDWAY . 
          SO IT'S KIND OF FUN, BUT IT ALSO IN THE SPEEDWAY. 
          ANOTHER THING I LEARNED IN THIS THAT I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT IS RICK WANTS TO BE A PARTNER WITH US ON THE POTENTIAL TO USE THE SPEEDWAY FOR POTENTIALLY ART CARS OR SOME KIND OF CELEBRATION. 
          AND AS WE LOOK OUTSIDE THE BOX ON HOW WE, WHAT, LIKE WHEN WE'RE NOT HAVING COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, HOW WE ARE CREATIVE AND SCRAPPY, I FEEL LIKE IT'S AN EX EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF HOW WE COULD PARTNER AND BRING SOMETHING WHOLLY DIFFERENT. 
          AND WE HAVE PEOPLE MAKING ART CARS AND DOING THINGS LIKE THAT IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          SO USING THE SPACE WE HAVE IN A CREATIVE WAY IS ANOTHER, AND IT'S ANOTHER ASSET THAT WE DON'T ALWAYS ACKNOWLEDGE FROM THE DIET. 
          IT'S, WE WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY, ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD OR ANY QUESTIONS FROM I GUESS THE PUBLIC ON THIS ? OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT, GREAT. 
          WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          UM, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT IN PERSON. 
          AND UM, 
          [00:15:01]
YOU KNOW WHAT IT, HE'S MICHAEL ARLINGTON IS SUCH A HUGE CONTRIBUTOR TO THE ART CULTURE HERE LOCALLY. 
          SO IT'S GREAT TO CELEBRATE A LOCAL ARTIST LIKE THIS. 
          UM, OKAY, LET'S SEE. 
          UH, UH MM-HMM, . 
          AND DID WE RECEIVE ANY ONLINE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS PARTICULAR PIECE PRIOR TO THE MEETING? WE RECEIVED NO PUBLIC COMMENTS PRIOR TO THIS MEETING FOR THIS MEETING ITEM. 
          OKAY, WELL I GUESS THAT, UM, CLOSES PUBLIC COMMENTS AND I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER THREE. 
          UH, PUBLIC ART AND PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT APPLICANT MATERIALS. 
          AND AGAIN, I TURN TO PUBLIC ART SPECIALIST ABERCROMBIE FOR THIS ITEM. 
          OKAY. 
          HOPEFULLY I DON'T TALK YOUR EAR OFF ON ALL THESE PROJECTS , BUT WHILE WE HAD A LOWELL AND MEETING, I KINDA TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO REDESIGN THIS PACKET. 
          IT'S HOW WE PROVIDE AN ENTRY POINT FOR WHEN SOMEBODY'S LOOKING TO CREATE DEVELOPMENT JUST TO KIND OF CREATE A, A MAP FOR THEM. 
          OUR PREVIOUS MATERIALS WERE PRETTY SIMILAR, BUT THEY HAD OLDER PIECES IN THEM AND THEY DIDN'T REALLY DIRECT THEM TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE ANYMORE. 
          UM, I'M NEW AS OF DECEMBER, SO OF LAST YEAR OR SO, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE WERE BROUGHT TO THE RIGHT PLACE. 
          SO BA MAINLY, I JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU GUYS THIS. 
          SO YOU KNEW ABOUT OUR PROCESS, YOU KNEW HOW TO DIRECT PEOPLE. 
          IT'S, IT'S ATTACHED AT OUR WEBSITE AND I JUST WANT THE PUBLIC TO LIKE KNOW THAT THIS IS THERE AS LIKE AN ASSET. 
          SO WE CAN, IF YOU'RE CONFUSED ABOUT PROCESS OF HOW WE GET PUBLIC ART FUNDS, THAT'S A WAY TO LOOK AT IT OR HOW TO ACTUALLY RECEIVE THE ART EITHER THROUGH FUND MONEY OR THROUGH ONSITE REVIEW. 
          THIS KIND OF OPENS YOUR ABILITY TO SEE HOW THAT PROCESS FLOWS. 
          SO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, IT WAS MORE OF LIKE AN INFORMATIONAL BROCHURE AND I WANTED TO SHOW YOU WHAT I WAS DOING TO LIKE KIND OF MANAGE OUR ASSETS A LITTLE BETTER ONLINE. 
          AND SO THIS IS PART OF THAT CONVERSATION AND I'M OPEN TO QUESTIONS OR DO YOU THINK THERE WOULD BE ANY BENEFIT JUST TO BRIEFLY WALKING THROUGH THIS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE THIS AT THEIR FINGERTIPS? YEAH, UM, THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          IT HELPS BREAK DOWN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PUBLIC ART FUND, SO THAT'S REALLY USEFUL. 
          SO WHO PAYS, WHO HITS THIS NEXUS WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? THIS IS PRIVATE DEVELOPER, PRIVATE DEVELOPERS OF NON-RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION OR RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, UM, WITH A CO CONSTRUCTION COST OF 500,000 OR MORE. 
          SO IT'S NOT RESIDENTIAL. 
          SO WHEN WE SEE A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT IN RESIDENTIAL RIGHT NOW, THAT'S NOT PAYING IN THE PUBLIC ART. 
          UM, SO I WANTED TO MAKE A CLEAR OBSERVATION ON THAT BECAUSE I THINK SOMETIMES SAY LIKE, OH, THERE'S, THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON. 
          THE FUND IS MUST BE REALLY PROSPERING FROM THIS. 
          AND IT'S LIKE, NO, WE'RE VERY SPECIFIC THAT IT'S COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. 
          AND SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC WHEN THEY SEE THIS, WHERE THAT'S GOING. 
          WHAT, SO ONSITE PUBLIC ART WITH A MINIMUM VALUE OF 1% OF CONSTRUCTION COST OR AN IN LIE FEE EQUIVALENT OF ONE TO 1% OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS. 
          AND SO THEN THAT'S HELD IN A SPECIFIC FUND WITH THE CITY AND IT ALL GOES THROUGH THE C CITY'S FINANCE DEPARTMENT. 
          SO WE DON'T DIRECTLY, JUST FOR CLARITY, LIKE I DON'T DIRECTLY WRITE A CHECK TO AN ARTIST OR ANYTHING. 
          WE CREATE INVOICES THAT GO THROUGH FINANCE AND ARE REVIEWED. 
          AND THAT'S HOW THAT TAKES PLACE WHERE, SO PROJECTS LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY ZONING DISTRICTS, UM, THERE'S A LOT LISTED THERE, SO I'M NOT GONNA GO THROUGH IT ALL, BUT YOU CAN ALSO LOOK AT, UM, THE IEO SECTION 18.07 FOR MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS. 
          BUT IT'S ESSENTIALLY LIKE THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE CITY, WE CAN PLACE PUBLIC ART WHEN WE'RE SPENDING PUBLIC ART FUNDS THAT'S GONNA BE SPENT ON SOMETHING THAT'S PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLY ACCESSIBLE AND PUBLICLY OWNED. 
          SO WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS, OH, I'D LIKE A SCULPTURE HERE. 
          IF IT'S PRIVATELY OWNED, WE DON'T HAVE THE PURVIEW TO DO THAT. 
          IF THEY CHOOSE TO PUT A PROJECT ON SITE AS THEIR 1%, LIKE YOU CAN SEE ON THE WALL AT RALEY'S OR AT DEER CREEK, THE BENCHES OR THE WHALE, THOSE ARE OPPORTUNITIES WHERE SOMEBODY DID ON SITE WORK. 
          AND SO THAT'S NOT, WELL, WE WILL REVIEW IT. 
          WE DON'T HAVE, WE'RE MORE OF LIKE AN ADVISORY BOARD ON THAT, BUT IT'S, THAT'S HOW THOSE KINDS OF OPPORTUNITIES PRESENT THEMSELVES WHEN THEY'RE IN A PRIVATELY HELD SPACE. 
          UM, SCROLL DOWN. 
          UM, SO WHEN, I GUESS ALSO I CAN POINT OUT THESE PROJECTS THAT I CHOSE TO PUT IN HERE. 
          UM, THE RIVER ARCH WAS THE RESULT OF A $75,000 GRANT TO DAVID BEST. 
          THAT CAME ABOUT AROUND THE SAME TIME THAT FINE BALANCE ORIGINATED. 
          IT WAS LIKE RIGHT AFTER, 'CAUSE THEY BOTH HAD SUBMITTED FOR WATER STREET AND UM, 
          [00:20:01]
THEY WANTED BOTH OF 'EM. 
          SO DAVID BEST PIECE CAME IN AT WATER STREET. 
          WE'RE STILL, WE HAVE ANOTHER 2.0 VERSION OF IT THAT WE'RE GONNA BE SEEING FROM HERE IN THE COMING MONTHS. 
          SO THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL BENCH WE PURCHASED LAST YEAR. 
          THAT'S ABOUT 10 TO 12 FEET AND THEN TWO FRAGMENTS THAT HE GIFTED US DURING THE INSTALLATION. 
          AND THOSE ARE BEING HELD NEXT DOOR AT WIZARD OF METAL ADJACENT TO THE SITE. 
          AND DURING THE LYNCH CREEK TRAIL CLEANUP WE DID, I DID GRAFFITI REMOVAL ON THOSE PIECES AND THE VOLUNTEER CREW THROUGH REBUILDING TOGETHER DID THE GRAFFITI ABATEMENT ON THE RIVER ARCH. 
          SO IT'S ALL CLEAN AND READY FOR WHEN WE CAN PUT ALL THAT IN. 
          SO IT'S PRETTY EXCITING. 
          UM, THE PLUG THERE BY, UM, BASAL GANGLIA STUDIO AND SEAN THORNS, AND THAT WAS A PRIVATE PROJECT THAT THE ARTIST DID DIRECTLY WITH PG AND E BUT IT'S SOMETHING WE ALL ENJOY. 
          SO I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO SHOW AN EXAMPLE OF OTHER WORK. 
          AND THEN THE RICKY WATTS MURAL WAS ACTUALLY A MURAL THAT WAS CROWDSOURCED ON THE SIDE OF THE PHOENIX AND THEY'VE RAISED FUNDS. 
          AND SO I ALSO, IN THIS, I KIND OF WANTED TO POINT TO EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT WAYS WE GET ART, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF WHERE OUR THINKING NEEDS TO BE IS RESOURCEFULNESS AND OPPORTUNITY WITH PARTNERS. 
          UM, SO IN THESE STEPS FOR DEVELOPERS, THEIR FIRST STEP WOULD BE TO REACH OUT TO ME AND WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THEIR PROJECT AND LIKE WHAT THEIR NEEDS OR WHAT THEIR THINKING IS. 
          SO WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION LIKE THIS AND TALK ABOUT THE OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM. 
          UM, WE WOULD SEND THEM MATERIALS AND THEY WOULD REVIEW THE MATERIALS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR MASTER PLAN, OUR IZO AND ITS REQUIREMENTS. 
          AND SO I'VE SENT YOU ALL OF OUR NEW MEMBERS PACKETS THAT KIND OF HAVE ALL THOSE MATERIALS. 
          SO IF YOU FIND THAT LIKE YOU WANNA LEARN MORE OR HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT, WE ALWAYS COULD LATER, UM, THEN THEY CAN DECIDE WHAT THEY WANNA DO, THEN THEY SEEK A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL ARTIST. 
          AND SO WE CAN HELP GUIDE THEM IN THAT. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF RESOURCES WITHIN OUR AREA AND, UM, AND WE HAVE SOME OLD MATERIALS FOR THAT, BUT I DO, THAT'S SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO SEE US WORK ON IN THE FUTURE IS DEVELOPING SOME FRESH LOOKS AT WHO'S, WHO'S MOVED TO OUR COMMUNITY, WHO'S STILL ALIVE, WHO'S, YOU KNOW, ALL THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN OVER A LIFESPAN OF A PUBLIC ART PROGRAM. 
          UM, THEN WE WANT TO INTEGRATE PUBLIC ART INTO THEIR EARLY PLANNING PROCESS. 
          SO A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU SEE DEVELOPERS STARTING TO SHARE THEIR IMAGES OF WHAT THEY MIGHT PROPOSE TO DO, AND YOU SEE AN ART ELEMENT, IT'S KIND OF A PLACEHOLDER. 
          IT'S NOT SOLID YET, BUT IT'S REALLY GREAT TO SEE THAT KIND OF THINKING THAT LIKE IF I'M BUILDING A WALL AND I WANT SOMETHING SPECIAL, LIKE YEAH, THINK OF US, LIKE, THINK OF THIS OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE I WILL TELL YOU AS WE LOOKED IN THE PAST FOR MURAL OPPORTUNITIES, WE DON'T OWN A LOT OF GIANT WALLS THAT ARE LIKE IN THE FOREFRONT OF PLACES OR WITHIN YOUR VISUAL CORRIDORS AS YOU GO AROUND TOWN. 
          SO THESE OPPORTUNITIES ARE REALLY AWESOME FOR ALL OF US. 
          SO, UM, IT'S PRETTY COOL. 
          AND THEN, UM, THEN YOU WOULD SUBMIT INSTALLATION PROOF FOR YOUR PLANS, DOCUMENTATION, A MAINTENANCE PLAN, AND THEN YOU WOULD INSTALL THE ARTWORK WITH A PLAQUE. 
          YOU'D RECEIVE APPROVALS FROM US. 
          SO THERE WOULD BE REVIEW PROCESS DURING ALL OF THIS. 
          SO I SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE IN THE INTEGRATION PERIOD, SOMETIMES WE'VE HAD PRESENTATIONS EARLIER ON, SOMETIMES WE'VE HAD 'EM LATER ON. 
          I'M HOPING TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DO THAT EARLY ON SO THAT WE DON'T, AFTER THEY'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY WORKING WITH AN ARTIST, WE DON'T COME IN AND SAY LIKE, THAT'S ADVERTISING. 
          WE DON'T WANNA SEE SOMETHING THAT LIKE DIRECTLY REFLECTS WHAT YOUR, WHAT YOUR BUSINESS IS. 
          WE WANNA SEE SOMETHING THAT'S DIFFERENT, THAT'S FRESH, THAT'S PUBLIC ART. 
          UM, AND THEN, UH, WE HAVE A PUBLIC ART COMPLIANCE FORM THAT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED. 
          AND THEN WE WOULD SUBMIT THE ART PROPOSAL FOR PPAC REVIEW. 
          SO I THINK WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TWO TOUCH POINTS ON THIS, WHICH IS WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST WHERE WE GET IN, WE GET TO SEE IT, AND THEN WE KIND OF DO A REPORT OUT IF IT FOLLOWED WHAT WE LIKED. 
          AND I'M OPEN TO LIKE, IF YOU GUYS SEE THIS PROCESS AS SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T WORK, WE CAN RECONSTRUCT IT A LITTLE BIT, BUT I WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL LIKE THEY CAN TALK TO US AND GET SOME FEEDBACK THAT REALLY PUT POINTS 'EM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION THAT'S REPRESENTATIVE OF PETALUMA, UM, BECAUSE WE ALL COME FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS THAT CAN VOCALIZE THAT TO THEM. 
          UM, AND THEN HERE I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT THE PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE. 
          SO IT'S A LOT OF WHAT I JUST SAID, , BUT THAT WE WANNA LOOK AT OUR, OUR PUBLIC ART PROGRAM AS PLACEMAKING AS, YOU KNOW, INFUSING SOME CULTURAL RICHNESS TO OUR COMMUNITY AND LIKE HOPEFULLY ADDING CONVERSATION AND THE CHANCE FOR GATHERING AND CELEBRATING. 
          UM, THERE'S LOTS OF TYPES OF ART FOR OUR COMMUNITY, SO WE CAN ALSO LOOK AT EVENTS AS SOMETHING WE WANNA DO. 
          EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PART OF THIS, SO I THINK, UM, I THINK THAT'S A DIRECTION THAT WE'D LIKE TO MOVE CLOSER IN. 
          AND THEN I PROVIDED RESOURCES IN THIS, SO 
          [00:25:01]
YOU CAN, WHEN YOU GO TO THIS ONLINE, IT WILL LINK TO THE MASTER PLAN, THE ORDINANCE, THE IZO AND THE COMPLIANCE FORM. 
          SO YOU CAN GET A LOOK AT WHAT ALL THAT MEANS FOR AN APPLICANT. 
          THAT'S A MOUTHFUL. 
          , DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I DON'T. 
          THANKS FOR, UM, PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. 
          I THINK IT'S GREAT FOR NOT ONLY THE NEW, NEW MEMBERS FOR THE COMMITTEE TO KNOW HOW WE'RE FUNDED, BUT ALSO FOR THE PUBLIC TO HAVE A RESOURCE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN GO TO ONLINE AND SAY, OH, THIS IS WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM, THIS IS HOW IT'S BEING SPENT AND HERE ALL THE PROCESSES THAT ANY PARTICULAR PROJECT WILL GO THROUGH. 
          SO IT'S GREAT FOR TRANSPARENCY AND UM, THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. 
          DOES ANYBODY ELSE WANNA ADD TO THIS? WE ALL GOOD? OKAY, WELL THANKS AGAIN. 
          AND IT LOOKS LIKE, DO WE, UH, DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? WE RECEIVED NO PUBLIC COMMENTS PRIOR TO THIS MEETING FOR THIS ITEM. 
          AND WOULD ANYBODY IN THE CHAMBERS LIKE TO COMMENT? OKAY, GREAT. 
          WELL THANK YOU AGAIN. 
          AND, UH, THIS TAKES US TO OUR NEXT ITEM NUMBER FOUR, UH, WOVEN STORIES, WHICH I'M REALLY EXCITED TO, UM, HEAR STAFF MEMBER ABERCROMBIE PRESENT. 
          WE HAD AN OPENING, UH, LAST WEEK, I BELIEVE IT WAS, AND IT'S A GREAT PIECE THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR A COUPLE YEARS. 
          SO IT WAS FUN TO SEE IT, UM, COME HOME TO ITS PLACE AGAIN, I WANNA THANK EVERYBODY FOR THE YEARS THAT WENT INTO THIS PIECE. 
          WHILE IT'S, UM, IT'S WAS A LOT QUICKER THAN FINE BALANCE, IT STILL REPRESENTS LIKE A GRANT CYCLE THAT STARTED IN 2021. 
          UM, I WAS A PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE MEMBER THEN, AND SO IT WAS, WE HAD A $25,000 GRANT OPEN UP AND WE HAD A COUPLE DOZEN APPLICANTS AND WE WERE SO HAPPY WE WENT WITH TWO OF 'EM. 
          SO ONE YOU SAW KIND OF IMMEDIATELY ROLL OUT, WHICH IS THE MAKING PROGRESS MURAL AT THE SWIM CENTER BY MJ, LINDA LAWYER AND JOSHUA LAWYER. 
          AND THEN THIS ONE TOOK A LITTLE LONGER BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS OUR FIRST TIME REALLY PARTNERING WITH A SCHOOL. 
          SO WE HAD TO WORK WITH ACROSS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND REALLY GET IT MOVING FORWARD WITH A PROJECT MANAGER THERE, LIKE SITE SITE CONSTRUCTION. 
          IT HAD A LOT OF DIFFERENT FACTORS, BUT I WOULD SAY IT WAS, EVEN TO GET IT DONE IN THREE YEARS FELT PRETTY GREAT BECAUSE IT, IT REALLY FELT LIKE A BOON. 
          UM, WE DID END UP ALLOCATING AN ADDITIONAL $6,700 FOR CONSTRUCTION INSTALL BECAUSE WE PRETTY EARLY ON RECOGNIZED THAT THIS WASN'T A $25,000 PROJECT. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT CAN BE A LITTLE TRICKY THAT YOU'LL PROBABLY ALL FIND WITH PUBLIC ART IS WE KIND OF IN, WE KNOW WHAT THE VALUE IS OF THINGS SOMETIMES, BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS REPRESENT THE WHOLE VALUE. 
          LIKE WE COULD SAY LIKE DAVID BES RIVER ARCH WAS $75,000, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT THERE WAS MATERIALS PROVIDED, THERE WERE LIKE FREE CONTRIBUTIONS, LIKE MY SON INTERNED FOR 10 MONTHS WELDING WITH HIM. 
          A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED THAT PROJECT. 
          SO WHEN WE SEE A PROJECT LIKE THAT AND WE COMPARE IT TO OTHER PROJECTS, THE VALUE DOESN'T NECESSARILY, THE PRICE DOESN'T NECESSARILY REPRESENT THE VALUE. 
          THAT WAS LARGELY A GIFT TO OUR COMMUNITY FROM DAVID AND FROM COMMITTEE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 
          AND SO THIS PIECE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THAT WHERE IT'S 96 INCHES TALL BY 26 AND A HALF BY 24, BUT WHEN WE GOT IT ALL INSTALLED, IT'S LIKE FOUR FOOT BY EIGHT FOOT. 
          AND SO, UM, I'LL START GOING THROUGH THE SLIDE SO IT'S A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING. 
          BUT, UM, WOVEN STORIES WAS COMMISSIONED FOR KENILWORTH JUNIOR HIGH, CHERYL COLD IRON I REMEMBER HERE. 
          AND CHRIS SMITH HELPED IDENTIFY THE LOCATION AND THEY DID A LOT OF SUBCOMMITTEE WORK TO GET THIS PROJECT OVER THE THRESHOLD. 
          AND SO I'M, I'M REALLY GRATEFUL TO BOTH OF THEM FOR PICKING SUCH A GREAT SITE. 
          LIKE WE WANTED, WE HAD A PRIORITY IN THIS GRANT CYCLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO ARTS ON THE EAST SIDE. 
          WE WANTED IT TO HAVE NEW MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ENGAGING WITH IT IN A WAY WE DIDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE PUBLIC ART PLACED BEFORE. 
          SO HAVING IT AT A SCHOOL, HAVING STUDENT ACCESS, HAVING IT BE A RELATIVELY SAFE PIECE, UM, IT CAN ROTATE ON TOP. 
          WE'LL GET TO THAT. 
          BUT IT'S, UM, IT WAS JUST A REALLY GOOD CHOICE AND I'M GRATEFUL TO CHERYL AND CHRIS, UM, FOR DOING THAT WORK FOR US. 
          UM, THE SCULPTURES MADE OUT OF NATURAL CALCITE, ONYX, TRAVERTINE STONE, AS WELL AS CERAMIC TILE INLAID SANDSTONE AT THE BASE. 
          THE TRAVERTINE HAS BEEN HAND CARVED IN THE SHAPE OF A WOVEN BASKET. 
          THE CALCITE IS SHAPED INTO A TRANSLUCENT FLAME AND THE SANDSTONE PEDESTAL FEATURES TILE INSET SHAPED FEATURING IMAGERY OF REGIONAL BASKET MAKING LIKE THOSE CREATED BY THE POMO AND ME WALK. 
          THE ARTIST IS GOING TO SUPPLY US WITH THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE REPRESENTED. 
          UM, LIKE ONE OF 'EM IS THE FIRST NATIVE AMERICAN FOOTBALL PLAYER. 
          HE CHOSE A LOT OF LIKE 
          [00:30:01]
IMAGERY THAT WAS RELATED TO LIKE OUR REGION AND WHAT WAS HISTORICALLY REFERENCED IN MATERIALS THAT HE COULD FIND. 
          UM, SO HERE'S THE LOCATION IN CASE YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT, BUT THIS IS THE MULTIPURPOSE ROOM. 
          DID IT LOAD? SORRY, I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S FREEZING UP. 
          OKAY, THERE WE GO. 
          SO THE STRUCTURE YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT TOP IS THE MULTIPURPOSE ROOM, UH, KENDALL WATCHING YOUR HIGH. 
          THIS PIECE IS WHERE THE YELLOW CIRCLE IS AND IT IS, UM, IT'S EASILY VIEWABLE FROM THE STREET, FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          IT'S, IT'S REALLY NICELY PLACED AND THERE'S WHAT'S NOT REPRESENTED HERE IS RELIEF. 
          RECENTLY DID SOME TREE PLANTINGS NEAR IT, SO IT KIND OF FEELS LIKE A MORE ENHANCED SPACE. 
          AND, UM, LEMME SEE. 
          SO THE POMO AND MINOK ARTWORK OF BASKET WEAVING IS WORLD RENOWNED FOR ITS BEAUTY AND HIGHLY DEVELOPED CRAFTSMANSHIP. 
          IT'S A, IT'S A STYLE OF WEAVING THAT'S LASTED FOR HUNDREDS OF GENER, LIKE HUNDREDS OF YEARS, MANY GENERATIONS. 
          UM, THEY REALLY TRIED TO REPRESENT THAT IN THE GEOMETRIC DESIGNS THAT ARE LAID OVER THE TILE WORK. 
          SO IT'S A COLLAGE PIECE. 
          UM, ROBERTO DELGADO IS WHO WORKED ON THE TILE PORTION OF THIS. 
          HE'S A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ARTIST. 
          BOTH ARTISTS ARE, UM, RU CALDERON AND RUDY CALDERON AND HIM. 
          AND THEY ACQUIRED THESE PIECES OF STONES FROM THREE DIFFERENT REGIONS. 
          SO, UM, ONE IS FROM UTAH, ONE'S FROM ARIZONA, AND ONE'S FROM CALIFORNIA. 
          AND HE WANTED TO REPRESENT THE DIFFERENT REGIONS AND THE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE ALL KIND OF HAVE THESE SIMILAR RESOURCES IN OUR NATIVE AND INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES. 
          UM, THE LAYERED ONYX IS SUPPOSED TO, WE'LL SEE THAT IN THE NEXT IMAGE, BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT BASKET AND THE REEDS OF BASKETS. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE STRIATIONS IN THE STONE. 
          UM, IT ALSO HAS THESE CHAMBERS KIND OF NATURAL ORGANIC AREAS IN IT WHERE YOU'LL SEE ALMOST LIKE A GEODE, IT'S CRYSTALLIZED AND BEAUTIFUL AND WHEN YOU RUN YOUR HANDS ACROSS IT, IT'S JUST REALLY LIKE, COOL AND IT'S SOMETHING YOU WANNA TOUCH. 
          IT'S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL. 
          UM, HE ALSO WANTED TO HAVE OTHER TYPES OF REPRESENTATION LIKE THE CALCITE FLAME. 
          UM, PROVIDES AN INTERACTIVE ELEMENT THAT ROTATES TO FOLLOW THE SUN. 
          IT'S CONVEX CARVED ON EITHER WAY, SO YOU CAN ORIENT IT TOWARDS THE SUN AND ALWAYS SEE IT SHINE THROUGH AND ILLUMINATE THE STONE. 
          UM, IT'S SUPPOSED TO. 
          HE'D LIKE TO SEE SOMEBODY CREATE ASTRONOMICAL LESSONS AT THE SCHOOL ABOUT IT AND KIND OF FOLLOW THE SEASONS AND THE MOVEMENTS OF THE ORIENTATION OF THE SUN. 
          UM, ALSO THE CALCITE FLAME IS TO REPRESENT KNOWLEDGE, MEMORY AND A HOPE FOR AN ENLIGHTENED SOCIETY. 
          SO THERE, RUDY CALDERON AND ROBERTA DELGADO ARE A PROFESSIONAL MIXED MEDIA ARTIST TEAM THAT SPECIALIZES IN HAND BRUSHED ACRYLIC FIRED CERAMIC TILE STONE METALWORK. 
          UM, THEY LIKE TO COMPLIMENT THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND SHOW THE CULTURE AND HISTORY OF THE COMMUNITIES THEY WORK IN. 
          ALL THE, THEIR PROJECTS INCLUDE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WHERE THEY CAN DEVELOP A SENSE OF PARTICIPATION IN THEIR PROJECTS, GIVING YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES A PROPRIETARY INTEREST IN THE ARTWORK. 
          AND HERE ARE WHEN THE PIECES WERE NOT YET PUT TOGETHER, BUT YOU COULD KIND OF GET A SENSE. 
          UM, ALL FOUR SIDES OF THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT HAVE A DIFFERENT TILE INLAY AND THE SHAPE IS TO REPRESENT THE SHAPES OF BASKETS. 
          UM, THE STONE AND LIKE THE SAN THE TRAVERTINE AND THE CAL SITE ALL LOOK BEAUTIFUL. 
          AND IT WAS SO INTERESTING TO SEE ALL THIS SEPARATE. 
          I WAS PROVIDING IMAGES TO THIS, THE PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE DURING THIS, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL WE GOT TO THIS POINT THAT IT REALLY BECAME REAL, LIKE HOW AMAZING THIS COULD LOOK TOGETHER. 
          IT HAS A STEEL STRUCTURE INSIDE. 
          IT HAS A REINFORCED CONCRETE PAD THAT THERE'S A STEEL ROD THAT GOES UP THROUGH THAT COUPLES FOR EACH PIECE. 
          UM, HE BROUGHT IN A BOOM AND EQUIPMENT AND THAT IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING TO WATCH. 
          CHERYL AND I WERE BOTH ON SITE AND EACH OF THESE PIECES IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. 
          SO IT WAS REALLY, IT WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL TO SEE IT COME TOGETHER AND BE THERE WHEN THE FIRST LIGHT THROUGH SHOWN THROUGH THE FLAME, IT WAS JUST OTHERWORLDLY AND THE RESPONSE WAS OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORTIVE. 
          SO IN THIS IMAGE YOU'LL SEE AN ONSITE INSTRUCTOR, AARON VAN DEIR, A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE PROGRESSIVE TRIBAL ALLIANCE, DONNA AND THE ARTIST RUDY CALDRON AND RUDY'S IN THE RIGHT IMAGE. 
          HE'S JUST AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. 
          AND THIS IMAGE SHOWS THE RIBBON CUTTING WHERE WE HAD ART STUDENTS AND STUDENTS ON CAMPUS. 
          [00:35:01]
UM, COUNCIL MEMBER KAREN NOW CAME AND CUT A RIBBON. 
          UM, IT JUST FELT FABULOUS TO HAVE EVERYBODY THERE IN CELEBRATION. 
          IT WAS INSTALLED SEPTEMBER 14TH BY RUDY AND HIS TEAM. 
          AND ON SEPTEMBER 16TH WE HAD THE RIBBON CUTTING WITH STUDENTS, EDUCATORS, SCHOOL DISTRICT STAFF, PPAC MEMBERS AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS GATHERED TO CELEBRATE THE NEW PUBLIC ART PIECE. 
          WE ARE GRATEFUL TO ALL WHO WORK TO BRING THIS PROJECT TO FRUITION, BUT WE ARE ESPECIALLY GRATEFUL TO THE ARTIST TEAM OF RUDY CALDERON AND ROBERTO DELGADO. 
          SIGNAGE WILL BE INSTALLED ON SITE IN THE NEXT MONTH AND A HALF OR SO. 
          WE'RE ORDERING IT RIGHT NOW. 
          SO WE WILL HAVE, UM, A LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT INCLUDED IN THIS THAT WAS CONDITIONED AS PART OF THE GRANT. 
          AND WE'LL CALL OUT THE NAMES OF THE ARTISTS, THEIR DATE OF BIRTH, THE MATERIALS, AND THEN, UM, SOME REFERENCE TO THE PIECE AND IT'S TIMEFRAME FOR THE PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE WITH IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. 
          AND I ALSO INVITE CHERYL TO TALK TO HER EXPERIENCE. 
          'CAUSE I, I FELT LIKE IT WAS SO VALUABLE FOR THIS PIECE. 
          SO MELISSA SAID PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT I COULD THINK OF TODAY TO, UM, MENTION, UM, DURING THE FIVE AND A HALF HOURS THAT I SPENT WITH THEM, IT WAS JUST FASCINATING TO WATCH THEM. 
          THEY HAD THEIR LITTLE MACHINE, YOU KNOW, THEIR, UH, WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT? A UM, WHAT FORKLIFT? A LITTLE MINI FORKLIFT. 
          AND SO THEY SCOOPED UP EACH PIECE AND, UM, I WAS TAKING PICTURES, DOCUMENTING IT. 
          I, I KNOW I RAN OUTTA MY BATTERY BECAUSE I HAD IT JUST TAKING SO MANY PICTURES, YOU KNOW, AND EACH ONE WENT OVER AND THEN IT WAS BALANCED. 
          AND THEN THEY WENT AND GOT THE NEXT ONE AND BROUGHT IT OVER AND BALANCED IT. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, THEY HAD CERTAIN SPECIAL EPOXIES THEY WERE MAKING AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS LINED UP. 
          I KNOW A COUPLE OF TIMES THEY WERE ON THE GROUND, RUDY AND HIS ASSISTANT RAMON, AND I'M THINKING, OH, PLEASE, YOU KNOW, NO, NO PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW WITH THEIR HEAD UNDER ONE OF THE STONES OR SOMETHING. 
          UM, BUT IT WAS, IT WAS JUST WONDERFUL TO WATCH IT COME TOGETHER. 
          AND, UM, I TOLD HIM, I SAID, YOU KNOW, THIS REALLY SINGS TO ME THIS PIECE. 
          IT, IT, UM, CHRISTOPHER AND I WERE PART OF THAT SUBCOMMITTEE TWO AND A HALF, THREE YEARS AGO. 
          AND JUST TO WATCH ALL THE STEPS COME TOGETHER WAS INCREDIBLE. 
          AND WHEN I SAID THAT TO RUDY, HE SAID IN SPANISH, UM, HE SAID, , SO, WHICH ALSO MEANS IT SINGS TO MY HEART. 
          AND HE SAYS, OH, YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO, NO, HE SAYS, I'M NOT GOING TO CRY. 
          BUT HE SAYS, I LOVE TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT, THAT THE PUBLIC REALLY APPRECIATES THE WORK THAT HE DID. 
          UM, AND I KNOW IT DIDN'T QUITE GET INTO HIS, UH, FORMAL PAPERWORK, BUT WHAT HE SAID TO ME WAS THAT THE LIGHT REPRESENT THE LIGHT OF THAT TOP FLAME WOULD REPRESENT THE KNOWLEDGE. 
          THE, UM, THE, THE, SORRY I'M NOT SAYING THIS RIGHT. 
          THE FLAME STONE REPRESENTS THE LIGHT THAT KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING BRING INTO THE WORLD. 
          AND HE REALLY WAS HAPPY THAT IT WAS THERE AT THE SCHOOL. 
          AND HE TALKED JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WANTING ART TEACHERS AND SCIENCE TEACHERS AND HISTORY TEACHERS AND GEOLOGY TEACHERS. 
          AND YOU KNOW, HE SAYS, I REALLY HOPE THE KIDS CAN UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH GOES INTO A PIECE OF ART. 
          UM, SO YEAH. 
          UM, WELL I GUESS I COULD MENTION MELISSA AND I DID SOME WEEDING THERE TOO. 
          . 
          YEAH. 
          JUST TO MAKE SURE IT WAS REALLY READY, YOU KNOW, FOR THE, UM, OFFICIAL UNVEILING. 
          SO THANK YOU MELISSA. 
          WELL, THANK YOU. 
          ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PIECE? YEAH, I'D LIKE TO PIG PIGGYBACK ON WHAT CHERYL SAID. 
          UM, I WAS OUT THERE AT THE UNVEILING. 
          I HADN'T MET RUDY BEFORE AND HE'S AWESOME. 
          HE'S SUCH AN INTERESTING MAN AND PHILOSOPHICAL AND ARTISTIC AND CREATIVE AND SO GEARED TOWARDS USING THIS AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS TERRIFIC. 
          AND CASE IN POINT, THEY CUT THE RIBBONS, EVERYBODY LEFT. 
          AND THIS ONE KID, THIS YOUNG BOY CAME UP AND HE WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT ROCKS. 
          AND HE KNEW, HE'S LIKE, THIS IS A SEDIMENTARY, THIS IS AN IGNEOUS ROCK. 
          AND THIS WAS FORMED WHEN LAVA COOLED. 
          I MEAN, IT WAS JUST SO FASCINATING. 
          YOU COULD TELL HE WAS GEOLOGY WAS HIS THING. 
          UM, AND RUDY, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE HOPED THIS PIECE WOULD INSPIRE. 
          UM, EACH ROCK WAS HAND SELECTED FOR ITS DIFFERENT PROPERTIES AND, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THE, THE STORY OF THE ROCK COULD TEACH AND HOW IT WOULD REACT TO EACH OTHER AND THE ENVIRONMENT AND EVERYTHING. 
          BUT IT MAKES ME THINK, WE'VE OFTEN TALKED ABOUT, UM, DOING SOME SORT OF ARCHIVAL, UH, 
          [00:40:01]
PIECE ON OUR WEBSITE AND OR BEYOND WHERE THERE'S SORT OF A MAP OF WALKING PUBLIC ART IN TOWN. 
          AND I'D REALLY LIKE TO TALK ABOUT, UM, GETTING A, AN ORAL HISTORY OF RUDY'S THOUGHTS ON THIS BECAUSE HE IS SO ARTICULATE AND THERE IS SO MUCH THINKING GOING INTO EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF THIS SCULPTURE. 
          AND THIS MIGHT BE A GREAT TIME TO APPROACH A LOT OF OUR, UM, PORTFOLIO WITH AN ORAL HISTORY OR DESCRIPTION TO SORT OF, YOU KNOW, THIS IS KIND OF A DOWNTIME BETWEEN PROJECTS, BUT THIS COULD BE A GOOD MOMENT TO CAPTURE THE ARTIST'S VIEWS. 
          I MEAN, MICHAEL JUST DID THIS HUGE PIECE, YOU KNOW, BRIAN DID THIS PIECE, RUDY, IT'S A REALLY, MAYBE IT'S A GOOD TIME FOR US TO BREAK INTO A SUBCOMMITTEE AND TRY AND GATHER SOME, UM, INFORMATION, SOME, SOME STORYTELLING FROM THE ARTISTS THEMSELVES. 
          YEAH, I LOVE THAT IDEA. 
          I FEEL LIKE THIS IS OUR TIME TO KIND OF, WE HAVE A FULL BODY AND I THINK IT'S KIND OF OUR TIME TO DEVELOP MORE MATERIALS. 
          LIKE I, I THINK WE HAVE OTHER ASSETS THAT WE HAVEN'T EVEN BEGAN TO EXPLORE. 
          WE KIND OF JUST DIDN'T HAVE PROJECTS FINISHED FOR A LONG TIME. 
          AND SO WE GOT USED TO JUST STRUGGLING TO GET IT OVER THE FINISH LINE. 
          AND NOW WE'RE AT THIS PLACE WHERE IT'S LIKE, WOW, WE CAN ACTUALLY START DEVELOPING ART WALKS MATERIALS. 
          LIKE I LOVE THE IDEA OF MAYBE HAVING SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE CAN JUST TAP INTO AND LIKE, I'M ON A WALK, WHAT CONNECTS ME HERE? 'CAUSE WE DO, WE'RE DEVELOPING A LINKAGE IN ALL OF OUR ART THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO I THINK WE'RE AT A POINT WHERE WE CAN REALLY START DEVELOPING THINGS THAT ARE RELATED TO THAT. 
          YEAH, AND I'D LIKE TO ADD ALSO THE ART CENTER HAS AN INTEREST IN PUTTING TOGETHER A WALKING MAP OF PUBLIC ART. 
          SO, UM, THAT MIGHT BE A NICE GROUP OF PEOPLE TO TAP IN TO HELP GET THIS GOING. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW HOW WE GO ABOUT FORMING A SUB SUBCOMMITTEE ON THIS IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW FORMALIZING WHAT THE PROCESS IS. 
          AND JUST OUT OF TRANSPARENCY, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME AS A ACTING CHAIR UP ON THE DAIS, SO, YOU KNOW, I KIND OF STEAMROLLED INTO THIS MEETING. 
          UM, BUT, UH, YEAH, MAYBE, UM, MELISSA, YOU CAN SHED SOME LIGHT ON HOW WE, YOU KNOW, IF, IF WE NEED TO VOTE ON THIS OR WE, HOW WE MOVE IT FORWARD. 
          NO. 
          UM, WE, WHAT WE CAN DO IS WHEN WE GET TO COMMITTEE COMMENTS, LET'S HAVE A LITTLE MORE OF A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT. 
          WE'LL CLOSE OUT THIS ITEM AND ALLOW PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          AND THEN WE CAN KIND OF BRING UP OUR INDIVIDUAL IDEAS DURING COMMITTEE COMMENTS. 
          LIKE AT DURING COMMITTEE COMMENTS, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE REPORT OUTS FROM SUBCOMMITTEES, BUT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR NEW MEMBERS TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEMSELVES AND LIKE WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING WITH THEIR LIVES OR WHAT THEY'RE EXCITED ABOUT. 
          AND YOU CAN SHARE WHAT YOU'D LIKE, BUT IT, IT HELPS US KIND OF START TO KNOW YOU AND KNOW WHERE LIKE, WHERE YOU MIGHT BE STRONGEST ON OUR TEAMS. AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR US, LIKE I'LL MAKE SURE YOU ALL HAVE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR EACH OTHER. 
          UM, WE JUST HAVE TO ASK THAT. 
          LIKE, WE DON'T HAVE, IF YOU'RE HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEBODY, IT'S BETWEEN YOU GUYS OR LIMITED AT THREE. 
          THERE'S UM, WE DON'T WANNA HAVE BROWN ACT VIOLATION. 
          SO IF, IF YOU'VE READ ABOUT THAT IN YOUR MATERIALS. 
          AND WE ALSO DON'T WANT SERIAL MEETINGS WHERE SOMEBODY'S HAVING A CONVERSATION AND THEN THEY GO AND HAVE A CONVERSATION AND IT'S LIKE TELEPHONE. 
          AND THAT, THAT ALSO IS A VIOLATION. 
          SO WE ALWAYS WANNA BE TR TRANSPARENT IN WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          AND THESE MEETINGS, LIKE THEY ALLOW US THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO START TALKING ABOUT THINGS. 
          AND IF YOU'RE LEAVING THE MEETING FEELING LIKE I HAVE IDEAS, SEND THEM TO ME AND WE CAN CREATE OPPORTUNITIES TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS FROM THE DIOCESE. 
          SO, SO THANK YOU. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          WE'LL, WE'LL MOVE THIS INTO, UM, COMMITTEE COMMENTS LATER ON IN THE AGENDA. 
          UM, WERE THERE ANY COMMENTS SUBMITTED REGARDING WOVEN STORIES WE RECEIVED? NO PUBLIC COMMENTS PRIOR TO THE MEETING FOR THIS ITEM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND IS ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC INTERESTED IN COMMENTING ON? OKAY, SOUNDS LIKE NO, IT'S A LOT OF PRESSURE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          LET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 
          [APPROVAL OF MINUTES]
FIVE, APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM THE MAY 30TH, 2024 MEETING. 
          UM, FOR CLARIFICATION, WHO WERE THE MEMBERS THAT ARE STILL PRESENT ON THIS BOARD? 'CAUSE I WANNA MAKE SURE I WASN'T SURE IF WE WERE ALL IN ATTENDANCE OR ALL OF OUR MEMBERS WERE IN ATTENDANCE. 
          'CAUSE WE HAVE FOUR ACTIVE. 
          YEAH, JENNY, WERE YOU AT THE MAY MEETING? 'CAUSE I WANNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO VOTE ON IT. 
          I THINK SO. 
          I THINK SHE WAS. 
          UM, ALSO, UM, I BELIEVE THAT THE ACTING CHAIR AND THE CHAIR HAVE THE ABILITY TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS IS. 
          UM, IF THERE ARE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE EDITS NEED TO BE EDITED IN ANY KIND OF WAY, UM, IT COULD BE APPROVED WITH THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS AS WELL. 
          UH, LET'S SEE. 
          I GUESS I WOULD INVITE THE COMMITTEE TO PROVIDE AMENDMENTS IF ANYBODY HAS ANY. 
          NO, IT LOOKED ACCURATE TO ME. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          LOOKED ACCURATE TO ME AS 
          [00:45:01]
WELL. 
          AND SO, UH, I GUESS THE MINUTES ARE APPROVED AS PUBLISHED? CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I WILL NOW CLOSE THAT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE AND WE WILL MOVE FORWARD TO, UH, PUBLIC HEARINGS. 
          NO, I'M SORRY, COMMITTEE COMMENTS SECTION, IS THAT WHERE WE'RE GOING? OKAY. 
          COMMITTEE COMMENTS SECTION,

          UM, LEMME SEE IF I CAN PULL IT UP AND SHARE IT. 
          WOULD YOU LIKE TO JUST LEAD US THROUGH THAT THEN? I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF SUMMARY. 
          YEAH.

          WE'RE ALMOST THERE. 
           COMMITTEE MEMBER COLD IRON HAS A COMMENT. 
          UM, WELL WE'VE DISCUSSED WOVEN STORIES, SO I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING ADDITIONAL TO THAT. 
          KEVIN AND I ARE BOTH ON THE RIVER ARCH COMMITTEE AND THE KENNELWORTH PARK PUBLIC ART, AND WE DID NOT HAVE THE NEED FOR ANY MEETINGS SINCE OUR LAST MEETING. 
          SO THOSE THREE ARE COVERED. 
          OKAY. 
          OR IF YOU HAVE DISCUSSION ITEMS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO BRING UP FOR A FUTURE MEETING, THIS IS A GOOD, OR ANYTHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO REFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITY, THIS IS KIND OF YOUR CHANCE TO SHARE WHAT, WHAT YOU'VE SEEN OR WHAT YOU'VE WANNA POINT OUT. 
          LIKE, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING YOU'VE NOTICED OR THAT'S PERTAINING TO ART OR THAT YOU THINK LIKE THE COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT. 
          IT'S KIND OF A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THINGS FROM THE WORLD YOU'RE SEEING IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, MAYBE THIS WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM OUR NEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS. 
          WOULD THIS BE AN APPROPRIATE PLACE FOR THAT? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          SO I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR JOINING THE PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE. 
          UM, WE HAVE BEEN DOWN A FEW BODIES FOR A WHILE NOW. 
          UM, YOU'VE COME AT A TIME, WHICH IS GREAT BECAUSE WE'RE DEFINITELY BETWEEN PROJECTS, WE'VE JUST CLOSED THREE PROJECTS THAT YOU'VE JUST HEARD ABOUT. 
          AND, UM, IT'S A REALLY GOOD TIME FOR YOU ALL TO BRING YOUR, UM, EXPERIENCE AND YOUR, UH, UM, CONTRIBUTIONS. 
          YOU ALL HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THE ARTS. 
          AND UM, I THINK YOU'RE GONNA HAVE SOME REALLY INTERESTING PERSPECTIVES, UM, THAT MAY SHAPE THE FUTURE OF PUBLIC GARDEN PETALUMA. 
          SO, UM, I'D LOVE JUST TO WELCOME CO CODY FROM UM, PARKS DEPARTMENT AND IF YOU WANTED TO JUST SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOURSELF AND HOW YOU CAME TO THE COMMITTEE AND UM, WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO. 
          SURE.

          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          I'M THE LIAISON FOR RECREATION PARKS AND MUSIC, I BELIEVE IS THE RIGHT ORDER. 
          UM, THE COMMITTEE, UM, HOPEFULLY I CAN BRING SOME OTHER EXPERIENCE AS WELL. 
          UH, I'M A GENERAL CONTRACTOR, SO SOME CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE THERE. 
          AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING LATELY ON BIG METAL ART, PUBLIC ART INSTALLS, BIG ONES. 
          SO I HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE THERE. 
          MAYBE IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TECHNICALITIES OF INSTALLS. 
          I'M ALSO A ARTIST ON THE SIDE. 
          I'M A BLACKSMITH AND A, A CARPENTER, SO, UH, MAY HAVE SOMETHING THERE, UM, TO YOUR COMMENT ON, UH, QUESTION ON THE FAIRGROUNDS. 
          SO, UH, YEAH, PUBLIC, UH, PARKS AND REC RECENTLY TOOK IT OVER AS THEIR PURVIEW. 
          VERY NEW. 
          UH, OUR COMMISSION JUST TOURED IT, UH, AND OUR FIRST MEETING OF THE YEAR IN JULY. 
          UH, SO THERE'S A, I THINK ALL THE CURRENT LEASES ARE STANDING THE WAY THEY ARE UNTIL, AT LEAST FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS. 
          UM, BUT IN THE MEANTIME I KNOW PARKS AND REC IS TRYING TO ACTIVATE THE SPACE MORE. 
          UM, BUT IT, IT'S VERY NEW TO US. 
          SO ANY IDEAS THAT THIS COMMITTEE HAS FOR ANYTHING ON THE FAIRGROUNDS PLEA OR OTHER PARKS, PLEASE UH, TELL ME AND I'D BE HAPPY TO PASS IT ON IN OUR MEETINGS. 
          AND THEN WE HAD A MEETING LAST WEEK AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE SWIM CENTER. 
          THERE WAS A PUBLIC COMMENT ASKING ABOUT, UH, THEY, IF WE COULD GET MORE SIGNAGE EXPLAINING THE, THE MURAL 
          [00:50:02]
AT THE SWIM CENTER, WHO DID IT AND WHAT THE BACKGROUND IS ABOUT IT. 
          I'M JUST REMEMBERING THAT THAT WAS SOMEONE IN THE PUBLIC BROUGHT THAT UP. 
          SO THAT'S IT FOR ME. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          HAPPY TO BE HERE. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND GOOD FEEDBACK ABOUT THE SWIM CENTER MURAL. 
          AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING, UM, AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT FROM PARKS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING TO, OR WE'RE STARTING TO LOOK FOR MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO PIGGYBACK ONTO THE PROJECTS THAT YOU'RE DOING. 
          UM, FOR INSTANCE, WE HAVE THIS MARY FULLER MCCHESNEY COLLECTION OF STATUES THAT WE'VE PURCHASED, UM, LAST FALL INTO THE SPRING. 
          AND WE'RE LOOKING TO HOUSE ALL OF THOSE STATUES, SCULPTURES IN THE COMING MONTHS. 
          SO IT WOULD BE NICE IF, YOU KNOW, WE CAN REALLY FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT PARKS IS DOING, MAYBE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING PUBLIC ART TO SOME OF THOSE ACTIVATED SPACES. 
          SO THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND DOROTHY, WELCOME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF. 
          WELL, I THANK YOU FOR THAT AND I, I THINK THAT, UM, THE LIBRARY WOULD HAVE SOME STAKE IN THIS AS WELL. 
          SO I KNOW AT SOME POINT WE TALKED ABOUT, UM, ORAL HISTORY FOR SOME OF THE PROJECTS, THE, THE ART PIECES THE LIBRARY HAS. 
          SO I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO YOU MORE ABOUT THAT AND, AND CREATING A SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          'CAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU, IT WOULD BE RIGHT IN YOUR WHEELHOUSE. 
          YEAH. 
          PARDON? I THINK YOU HAVE A VOLUNTEER. 
          UH, GOOD. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          HAPPY TO HEAR THAT. 
          AND THEN TANNER, THAT LEAVES US TO HEAR FROM YOU. 
          UH, JUST GLAD TO BE HERE. 
          WELCOME. 
          UH, MY NAME'S TANNER BOGER. 
          I, UH, I'M A GRAPHIC DESIGNER. 
          IT'S, UH, BEEN A LITTLE OVER 25, 28 YEARS DOING THAT. 
          UM, ADVERTISING IN SAN FRANCISCO AND KIND OF V UM, I'VE LIVED HERE IN PETALUMA FOR 20 YEARS AND, UM, JUST GRADUATED MY SON OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. 
          AND, UH, SO KIND OF WANTED TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY THAT I'VE BEEN HERE FOR A LONG TIME. 
          AND, UH, OBVIOUSLY CONNECTED TO THE ARTS, UH, THROUGH MY DESIGN AND, AND THROUGH, UM, LOVE OF ART AND PUBLIC ART ESPECIALLY. 
          AND, UM, YEAH, I, I KIND OF JUST WANNA BRING IDEAS AND, AND, AND HELP AS MUCH AS I CAN AND GET BACK TO THIS TOWN THAT I LOVE AND ART. 
          SO I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE. 
          THANKS. 
          WELL, THANK YOU. 
          I'M EXCITED TO HAVE YOU AS WELL. 
          I KNOW TANNER FROM, UM, OUR KIDS WERE IN THE SAME YEAR, UH, IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. 
          AND TANNER WORKED ON A LOT OF PROJECTS. 
          YOU WORKED ON THE MURAL LAW AT MCNAIR AND SOME OTHER THINGS THAT I REMEMBER SEEING WITH RECYCLED ART AND REALLY HAS BEEN A, A BIG CONTRIBUTOR TO THE SCHOOL THERE. 
          SO, UM, I KNOW HE'S GONNA BRING A LOT OF ENERGY TO THIS COMMITTEE AS WELL. 
          SO THANK YOU ALL AND, UM, A BIG WELCOME TO YOU AND I LOOK FORWARD TO LIKE REALLY TAKING THIS NEXT CHAPTER OF PUBLIC ART TO THE NEXT PLACE. 
          UM, LET'S SEE, AS IN TERMS OF COMMITTEES, I GUESS, LET'S SEE. 
          UM, MARY FULLER MCCHESNEY IS SOMETHING THAT JENNY AND I ARE WORKING ON WITH, UM, MELISSA, AND I'M GONNA JUST DEFER TO MELISSA BECAUSE SHE'S HAD THE MOST INVOLVEMENT. 
          THERE HASN'T REALLY BEEN A LOT OF WORK ON OUR END LATELY. 
          UM, BUT WE DO HAVE, UH, YEAH, WE DO HAVE SOME MOVEMENT AND MELISSA IS, IS BEING VERY SCRAPPY AND CREATIVE WITH WAYS TO DISPLAY THESE SCULPTURES. 
          SO I'M GONNA PUNT TO YOU ON THIS ONE. 
          DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE COMMITTEE REPORTS? SORRY FOR THE BUDGET, UH, COMMITTEE. 
          I AM, I'VE STARTED LOOKING AT DIFFERENT GRANTS THEY HAVE AND I'VE STARTED REACHING OUT TO PUBLIC ART DEPARTMENTS IN OTHER PLACES. 
          I, YOU KNOW, I WAS IN COOS BAY, OREGON, THEY HAD A BUNCH OF BEAUTIFUL ARTS, SO I EMAILED THEM. 
          I'M HOPING TO HEAR BACK 
          [00:55:01]
HEALDSBURG. 
          A BUNCH OF THE CITIES IN MARIN HAVE A LOT OF PUBLIC ARTS, SO I'M GONNA START EMAILING THEM THIS WEEK AS WELL. 
          AND JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF, IF THEY GET PRIVATE FUNDING, HOW ARE THEY GETTING IT? SO TRY TO GIVE US A BLUEPRINT A LITTLE BIT. 
          GREAT. 
          I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING ABOUT THAT. 
          THAT WOULD, THAT'S A A, A VERY NEEDED NECESSARY CATEGORY FOR OUR COMMITTEE. 
          UM, OKAY, SO DOES THAT WRAP UP COMMITTEE, ANYONE ELSE HAVE COMMITTEE REPORTS? I GUESS WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH 
          [STAFF COMMENT]
IS STAFF COMMENT, WHICH WE'LL HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF OVERLAP, BUT, UM, MELISSA, IF YOU WANNA TAKE THAT FROM HERE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          OUR PUBLIC ARTS SPECIALIST, MELISSA ABERCROMBIE. 
          I WANTED TO START OFF BY THANKING EVERYBODY FOR ALL THE HELP AT THE UPCOMING OR THE ALL THE PAST EVENTS IN THE LAST MONTH. 
          WE'VE HAD THREE RIBBON CUTTINGS. 
          IT'S BEEN SOMETHING EVERY WEEKEND, WHICH IS NEW FOR US, WHICH IS AMAZING AND EXCITING. 
          UM, BUT WE HAD A LOT OF ACTIVE PARTICIPATION, LIKE PEOPLE MAKE COOKIES WHO WERE FORMER MEMBERS. 
          EVERY, LIKE, CHERYL BROUGHT COOKIES TO EVENTS SHE COULDN'T EVEN ATTEND. 
          IT WAS, IT WAS ALL HANDS ON DECK. 
          ANN WAS THERE LIKE, I MADE EVERYBODY WEAR SASHES AND DO CRAZY THINGS AND THEY ALL WERE UP FOR IT AND IT FELT REALLY GOOD. 
          AND I JUST WANTED TO START OUT WITH LIKE A REALLY BIG THANK YOU. 
          'CAUSE I, WE WERE REALLY BEHAVING LIKE THE TEAM I, I, I WANT TO BE WITH. 
          AND THAT FELT REALLY GOOD. 
          LIKE TO JUST ALL BE BONDED AND LIKE GETTING SOMETHING OVER THE, OVER THE FINISH LINE. 
          AND THAT WAS LIKE REALLY REWARDING. 
          'CAUSE SOME OF THESE PROJECTS, YOU KNOW, FINE BALANCE, IT'S LIKE EIGHT YEARS, SIX YEARS SINCE IT WAS SELECTED IN LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, TWO AND A HALF YEARS SINCE WE CITED IT AT THIS LOCATION. 
          SO IT'S LIKE THE SLOW GAME SOMETIMES AND REALLY YOU GUYS MAKE IT ALL WORTH IT AND IT FEELS REALLY GOOD. 
          SO I'LL START WITH FINE BALANCE. 
          UM, WE'RE DONE , LIKE ALL WE'RE WAITING FOR NOW IS THE PLAQUE. 
          UM, WE HAD OVER 325 PEOPLE ATTEND OUR EVENT EARLIER THIS MONTH. 
          IT WAS THE RIBBON CUTTING. 
          THE ARTIST WAS REALLY ACTIVE AND LIKE BRINGING FRIENDS AND SPEAKERS, BUT ALSO PEOPLE JUST CAME OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY LIKE STILT WALKERS AND BATHROBES JUST KIND OF CAME THAT NIGHT AND ADDED TO THE FLAVOR. 
          UM, WE HAD A LOCAL BLUEGRASS BAND COME AND PERFORM. 
          THE MAYOR CAME, IT WAS JUST A TOTAL EVENT AND IT FELT SO GRATIFYING TO SEE THAT RALLYING, UM, FROM WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. 
          A LOT OF PEOPLE RODE THEIR BIKES. 
          UM, IT JUST FELT REALLY GOOD TO GET TO THAT POINT. 
          AND I AM HAPPY TO REPORT, I'VE REMOVED A COUPLE STICKERS FROM THE SITE ON THE NEW STOP SIGNS. 
          BUT LIKE OUR REBUILDING WORKDAY HAD OVER 30 PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY THAT CAME FROM THE NORTH BAY REALTORS ASSOCIATION. 
          LIKE THIS WAS A COLLECTIVE EFFORT AND WE WORKED ACROSS DEPARTMENTS AT THE CITY. 
          SO JUST GETTING TO THE FINISH LINE ON THIS REPRESENTS LIKE A SOLAR PROJECT WE NEVER ANTICIPATED WORKING WITH PUBLIC DE THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. 
          THEY DONATED A POLE FROM DC ELECTRIC, LIKE, UH, A NEIGHBOR DID THE TRENCHING. 
          MY HUSBAND DID THE BACK FILLING OF THE TRENCHING ON THE SOLAR, LIKE EVERYBODY PARTICIPATED. 
          UM, WHEN WE OPENED THE GATES TO FIRST, OR WHEN WE FIRST GOT TO THE SITE TO BEGIN INSTALL, SOMEBODY HAD MADE A, A PICTURE OF A CRANE AND SAID, WELCOME, FINE BALANCE. 
          AND LIKE I WILL SAY THAT WHILE PEOPLE CAME AND SHARED THEIR OPINIONS AND THEY WEREN'T ALWAYS POSITIVE, THEY WERE ALSO NOT ALWAYS NEGATIVE. 
          AND WE HAD A LOT OF INTERACTION AT THE SITE AT TIMES DURING INSTALLATION, I'D COME DOWN AND THERE'D BE 12 PEOPLE JUST STANDING THERE TALKING ABOUT THE MERITS OF THIS PIECE IN EITHER DIRECTION. 
          WE HAD, I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU HOW MANY CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD ABOUT ART WITH PEOPLE DURING THAT, LIKE ALMOST TWO MONTHS OF INSTALL. 
          I'VE NEVER HAD THAT IN PETALUMA OVER A PIECE. 
          SO I DO WANNA SAY THAT THAT WAS REALLY WONDERFUL TO SEE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT ART. 
          AND NOT ONCE HAVE I COME DOWN THERE WHERE THERE'S NOT SOMEBODY THERE. 
          IT'S BEEN REALLY AMAZING TO SEE PEOPLE USING THE SPACE DIFFERENT, THE PARKS DEPARTMENT BROUGHT IN ALL THE OYSTER SHELL, UM, 50 YARDS OF MULCH. 
          SO WE MULCHED AREAS, WE REMOVED ALL THE DEBRIS, WE TRIMMED THE TREES, WE SAVED THE TREE, THE TREE WAS NOT DOING WELL THERE AND WE GOT RELIEF OUT WITH A NEW STACK AND EVERYBODY'S COMMITTED TO WATER FILLING IT ONCE A WEEK. 
          AND IT WAS JUST LIKE THIS INSANE EFFORT THAT WAS INCREDIBLY VALIDATING. 
          AND 
          [01:00:01]
I THINK IF THERE'S ANYTHING TO BE PROUD ABOUT THAT PROJECT BEYOND JUST THE SURFACE VALUE, IT WAS THE COMMUNITY THAT GOT IT TO THAT POINT. 
          LIKE THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. 
          IT WAS A REAL BAR RAISING A TUB, RAISING. 
          UM, AND SO I JUST WANTED TO REPORT ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, IT HAS A LIST IN OUR STATUS REPORT THAT YOU CAN SEE ONLINE THAT ALL PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO BRIAN GOGGIN. 
          WE'RE COMPLETELY DONE. 
          WE'RE JUST AWAITING HIS SIGNAGE, WHICH WILL, HE WILL BRING IN IN THE NEXT MONTH. 
          AND THAT WILL HAVE, I'VE RUN IT BY THE SUBCOMMITTEE, BUT IT'S A LOT OF THANK YOUS AND TALKING ABOUT THE MATERIALS, TALKING ABOUT THE ART AND THE TIMEFRAME OF IT. 
          UM, BUT YEAH, I, BEYOND THAT, UM, I'VE HAD POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE ARTIST. 
          THE SECURITY CAMERA WILL PROBABLY BE COMING DOWN SOON. 
          THAT WAS, THAT'S THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          IT'S SOLAR. 
          IT HASN'T BEEN COSTING ANYBODY ANYTHING. 
          I JUST WANNA KIND OF LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW, LIKE WE'RE NOT HAVING EXTRA STAFF TIME STARING AT THAT ALL DAY. 
          UM, IT'S A SOLAR OFF THE GRID ALLOWANCE AND LUCKILY OUR SOLAR PANELS ARE JUST HAVE ENOUGH EXTRA ROOM FOR ALLOT OF USE FOR BEYOND THE LIGHTING OF THE PIECES TO HAVE A CAMERA CONNECTED THERE. 
          SO WE WILL HAVE A WIFI CAMERA THAT WILL BE PUT IN USING THIS EXISTING SOLAR THAT WON'T BE AS LIKE DELIBERATE AND OFF-PUTTING. 
          IT'LL JUST BE SOMETHING THAT'S REVIEWED IF THERE IS A DISTURBANCE. 
          AND THIS WEEK WHEN I WENT DOWN, SOMEBODY HAD CREATED A FRAMED PIECE OF ART AND ADHERED TO THE, THE FENCING THERE AS WELL. 
          SO IT WAS KIND OF, IT WAS, IT DIDN'T TAKE AWAY FROM ANYTHING. 
          IT WAS ACTUALLY QUITE BEAUTIFUL. 
          AND I'VE SEEN MANY PEOPLE FISHING. 
          WE HAVE THE TRASH CANS ARE STILL GONNA BE INSTALLED FROM THE PARKS DEPARTMENT. 
          SO IT'S OVERWHELMINGLY A BEAUTIFIED SPOT. 
          LIKE THE AREA WHERE IT HAD A LOT OF LIKE TRASH AND DEBRIS IS NOW NICELY MULCHED. 
          AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN READING BOOK, LIKE READING BOOKS UNDER THE TREES AND LIKE LEANING ON THE HILLSIDE AND IT JUST FEELS REALLY NICE. 
          SO I WANNA INVITE THE PUBLIC TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT REGARDLESS OF HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT. 
          LIKE GO TAKE A LOOK AND SEE QUESTION ABOUT THAT TO BE INSTALLED. 
          SECURITY CAMERA. 
          YES. 
          MAYBE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHO'S COVERING THE COST OF THAT AND UM, BECAUSE I'M SURE THAT WILL COME BACK TO US AT SOME POINT, LIKE TO KNOW IT'S STILL, IT'S STILL IN DISCUSSION. 
          I'VE BEEN TALKING TO LIEUTENANT ZEUS, UM, FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND A LOCAL SOLAR PROVIDER. 
          I BELIEVE THE CAMERAS THEY'RE LOOKING AT ARE LIKE $200. 
          I MEAN, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT A GIANT FEE IF IT DOES PROTECT THE SITE. 
          'CAUSE I WILL BE VERY CLEAR THAT IF THIS PIECE IS DAMAGED, WE ARE GOING TO FIX IT. 
          AND THAT COMES AT A COST TO YOUR CITY. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE, YOU KNOW, THE REASON WHY WE HAVE SURVEILLANCE IS BECAUSE OF THE DIRECT THREATS. 
          AND A LOT OF THE TIME WHERE YOU SEE STAFF ALLOCATED FOR THINGS THAT FEEL LIKE WHY ARE WE PAYING THAT MUCH TO STAFF? IT'S BECAUSE OF THE NONSENSE THAT WE SEE. 
          SOMETIMES IT'S NOT VERY RESPECTFUL AND WE HAVE TO BE ALERT AND PREPARED FOR THAT. 
          AND SO I JUST ASK THAT EVERYBODY BEHAVE WITH REVERENCE AND RESPECT TO COMMUNITY ASSET. 
          YOU CAN NOT LIKE IT AND THAT'S TOTALLY OKAY AND RELEVANT, BUT IT'S NOT OKAY TO DAMAGE SOMETHING. 
          AND SO I JUST WANNA BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, BUT YOU CAN COMPLAIN ALL YOU WANT AND YOU CAN CELEBRATE ALL YOU WANT. 
          IT'S COMPLETELY EVERYBODY'S ABILITY 'CAUSE ARTIST'S OBJECTIVE, UM, WOVEN STORIES. 
          I ALSO IN HERE YOU'LL HAVE AN UPDATE ON EVERYTHING THAT WAS DONE AND YEAH, SO YOU CAN SEE THAT. 
          UM, AND THAT ALSO I WANTED TO JUST BE CLEAR THAT THE FEEDBACK WE'VE GOTTEN SO FAR FROM THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY HAS BEEN REALLY POSITIVE. 
          LIKE EVERYBODY'S EXCITED. 
          I'VE HAD A NEIGHBOR WRITE TO ME PERSONALLY. 
          UM, IF SOMEBODY SUBMITS COMMENTS, I ALWAYS SHARE THEM AND I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY COMMENTS THAT WAY. 
          BUT PERSONALLY SOMEBODY REACHED OUT TO ME AND UM, THEY LIKE IT. 
          SO THAT WAS NICE TO HEAR. 
          UM, AND THEN, UM, RUDY HAS BEEN PAID THE PRO THE PROJECT IS COMPLETE. 
          UM, JUST FOR TRANSPARENCY, WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE, THE PAYMENT DESCRIPTIONS, WHEN WE MADE OUR FINAL PAYMENT, UM, WE CHOSE TO, FOR THE EXPEDIENCY THAT WAS NEEDED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD, WE TOOK THE, UM, PERMIT COSTS OUT OF HIS FINAL PAYMENT AND DIRECTLY ALLOCATED THAT TOWARDS THE PERMIT IN A WAY TO BE EFFICIENT TO MAKE SURE WE CAN WORK WITH THE SCHOOL'S TIMELINE. 
          'CAUSE WHILE IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET GOING AT THAT LAST POINT, IT WAS A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY WAS NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING LINED UP WITH THE SCHEDULE THE SCHOOL WANTED. 
          AND WE WERE, WE TOTALLY WERE ABLE TO DO IT. 
          SO THAT WAS NICE AND UM, I WAS GRATEFUL FOR CITY STAFF AND FINANCE TO LIKE FIND A WORKAROUND TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN FOR THE TIMELINE NEEDED. 
          UM, KENWORTH PLAYGROUND, WE USUALLY WERE HAVING MONTHLY MEETINGS AND CHECK-INS, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE IDENTIFYING 
          [01:05:01]
SOURCES OF FUNDING FOR THAT PROJECT. 
          UM, YOU CAN GO ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE ABOUT THE REVITALIZATION PROJECT AND LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT MIG PROPOSED 'CAUSE IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLAN. 
          WE HAD A JOINT MEETING LAST YEAR ABOUT IT, SO TO JUST GET UP TO SPEED, YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. 
          IT'S A SIZABLE PROJECT THAT'S GONNA TAKE SOME TIME AND SOME MONEY. 
          AND SO OUR PORTION OF IT WAS COMING IN AT APPROXIMATELY $150,000. 
          WE ARE TRYING TO SEE IF WE CAN IDENTIFY SOURCES TO HELP FUND THAT. 
          AND SO EVERYBODY'S WORKING AS A TEAM EFFORT FROM THE CITY SIDE. 
          AND SO WHILE WE'RE DOING THAT, WE WILL BE PRESENTING IN THE COMING MONTHS TO COUNCIL THAT PLAN. 
          BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD MORE REVENUE STREAMS IDENTIFIED BEFORE. 
          SO IT'S LIKE REALISTIC AND WE'RE NOT SPINNING GEARS WITHOUT HAVING ALL OF THAT QUEUED UP. 
          UM, MARY FULLER MCCHESNEY IS GETTING PRETTY EXCITING. 
          I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH SPRING MAXFIELD IN SANTA ROSA. 
          SHE WAS, WHO BROUGHT THE PIECES FROM MARY'S ESTATE TO THE ASTRO MOTEL, SO YOU COULD STILL SEE SOME OF OUR PIECES THERE. 
          UM, WE HAD PURCHASED 14 PIECES ORIGINALLY AND WE HAVE NINE REMAINING WE HAD TRADED BACK INTO THAT WERE DAMAGED THAT WERE GONNA BE A PROBLEM FOR US TO PLACE. 
          AND SO IN THE END WE EXCHANGED TWO FOR ONE AND THAT WAS AN ADDITIONAL BRONZE SCULPTURE. 
          WE FOUND THAT THE BRONZES WOULD HAVE MORE LONGEVITY AND IT'S A DUPLICATE OF SOMETHING WE ALREADY HAVE, BUT IT ALLOWS US TO DO PLACE MAKING IN A DIFFERENT WAY. 
          THEY MAYBE CREATE A GATEWAY OR ORIENT THEM AS MARKERS 'CAUSE THEY'RE, UM, COYOTE GODDESSES. 
          THEY'RE REALLY BEAUTIFUL WITH, UM, BIRDS IN THEIR HANDS STACKED IN THEIR HANDS. 
          AND I CAN, IF YOU WANNA GO TO THE PUBLIC ART WEBSITE, THERE'S A PAGE ON MARY PHIL MCCHESNEY AND I JUST WORKED WITH ANN TO CREATE LIKE A CATALOG OF SIZES AND WE'RE GONNA, UM, START LOOKING FOR ACTIVE PARTNERS IN WHERE TO INSTALL. 
          SO WE GIFTED FOUR PIECES FROM THAT COLLECTION TO THE LIBRARY. 
          I WORKED ON A CLEANUP OF ONE OF 'EM, SO I WAS REMOVING MOSS AND DEBRIS FROM IT, WHICH WAS REALLY INTERESTING. 
          UM, LET ME SEE IF I COULD FIND THE CAT PIECE. 
          I REMOVED MOSS FROM THE BASE OF IT, SO IT'S A THREE PART PIECE. 
          AND WHEN WE REMOVED THE MOSS, IT UNVEILED LIKE A SECRET MESSAGE 'CAUSE IT WAS JUST A CAT AND IT WAS REALLY OVERGROWN 'CAUSE IT, HER PIECES ARE VERMICULITE, THEY'RE REALLY POR, THEY'RE LIKE CONCRETE AND LIMESTONE MIX. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF LIKE POROUS SURFACE WHERE DIRT CAN ACCUMULATE AND MOSS WILL GROW. 
          IT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL AND ORGANIC LOOKING. 
          AND ON THE MOUNTAIN WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO SEE THESE PIECES, IT WAS OTHER WORLDLY LIKE BUILT INTO THESE ROCKY HILLSIDES AND OAKS THAT WERE NAUGHTY WHERE THESE LIKE CRAZY BEAUTIFUL SCULPTURES THAT JUST SEEMED LIKE A WHOLE OTHER LANGUAGE. 
          SO IT WAS NICE TO GET A LOOK INTO MARY'S LIFE AND THEN OPENING THIS, I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU 'CAUSE IT'S, IT'S HILARIOUS AND STRANGE, BUT IT TOTALLY IS BEFITTING. 
          BUT THE SECRET MESSAGE UNDERNEATH ON THE CAT SAYS, LOVING HAND LUCK, BIGFOOT BOBBY POLY WONDER. 
          AND IT'S JUST A WEIRD CAT AND SO IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S SOMEBODY SHE REALLY WANTED TO HONOR. 
          UM, SO THAT PIECE IS ALMOST DONE. 
          I HAVE TO DO SOME FINAL CLEANING FOR THE LIBRARY, BUT I'VE BEEN KIND OF DOING IT IN MY DOWNTIME AND SO IT'S KIND OF TAKING TIME. 
          UM, AND SO THOSE PIECES ARE NOW GOING INTO STORAGE IN THE LIBRARY AND WHEN THEY REOPEN NEXT YEAR, HOPEFULLY THEY'LL BE IN PIVOTAL PLACES DISPLAYED. 
          I KNOW WE HAD TALKED ABOUT A LOBBY PIECE, SO THAT'S ALL ON THEM AT THIS POINT. 
          AND IT'S PRETTY EXCITING THAT WE WERE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE IN THAT WAY. 
          THE SAME KIND OF SITUATION IS HAPPENING WITH THE SENIOR CENTER. 
          WE HAD IDENTIFIED A PIECE THAT WHEN WE PRESENTED IT TO THEM, THEY WERE LIKE, OH, THIS IS A LITTLE THREATENING. 
          IT WAS METAL, IT WAS A LITTLE, HAD AN ARMATURE THAT CAME OUT AND THEY WERE JUST CONCERNED THAT IT WOULDN'T FIT INTO THE SPACE THAT THEY HAD WANTED. 
          SO JENNY AND ANNE AND I ARE MEETING WITH REBUILDING TOGETHER, A SENIOR REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE SENIOR COMMITTEE AND UM, AYA WHO RUNS, RUNS HER OFFICE OUT OF THERE. 
          SHE'S A CITY EMPLOYEE THROUGH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT. 
          SHE THERE WE'RE ALL GONNA HAVE A CONVERSATION WITHIN THE SENIOR GARDEN OF WHERE BEST TO PLACE THE FACE TOTEM. 
          AND THAT PIECE IS 54 INCHES TALL BY ABOUT 13 BY 18. 
          SO IT'S NOT AS SUBSTANTIAL AS AN INSTALL, IT'S GONNA BE, IT'S A STACKING PIECE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DO MAJOR MOVING, JUST DELICATE MOVING. 
          THEY DON'T WANT MOSS REMOVAL BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE IT'LL LOOK REALLY BEAUTIFUL IN THAT STATE WITHIN THEIR LIKE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. 
          SO NEXT WEEK WE'LL BE GOING OUT TO LOOK AT THAT AND THEN THEY WOULD LIKE IT INSTALLED, WHICH REBUILDING TOGETHER IS OFFERED TO COVER, UM, BY OCTOBER 24TH OR SO WHEN THEY HAVE A DONATED GAZEBO THAT'S GONNA HAVE AN UNVEILING. 
          AND SO THEY'RE LOOKING TO HAVE THIS PIECE ALSO BE PART OF THAT CELEBRATION. 
          SO IT'S PRETTY AWESOME THAT THAT JUST CAME TOGETHER OUT OF NOWHERE. 
          UM, AND WE CONTINUED TO LOOK TOWARDS WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO WITH THESE OTHER PIECES. 
          THE CITY'S INTERESTED IN POTENTIALLY 
          [01:10:01]
HAVING ONE HERE AND WE WERE LOOKING AT THE SHAPE TOTEM, WHICH IS A HUGE PIECE WE WERE HOPING TO PUT IN A ROUNDABOUT. 
          AND THEN FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF OUR ROUNDABOUTS PEOPLE DRIVE RIDE OVER AND SO WE DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY TO GET HURT OR THE PIECE TO GET DAMAGED. 
          SO WE'RE RETHINKING WHERE THAT'LL GO. 
          AND SO IT'S HARD WHEN THOSE KIND OF ELEMENTS PRESENT THEMSELVES AND WE HAVE TO BE NIMBLE. 
          BUT I HAVE FAITH THAT WE'RE GONNA PUT IT IN THE RIGHT PLACE. 
          IT'S KIND OF, YOU'LL SEE AN IMAGE OF IT ON OUR WEBSITE AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT IT, I'M HAPPY TO SHARE ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC WANTS TO LOOK AT IT. 
          BUT IT'S A SIZABLE PIECE. 
          AND WHAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT IT IS THAT IT'S ALMOST A TRIANGLE SHAPE ON TOP. 
          IT'S NOT A DIRECT IMAGE REFERENCE. 
          IT'S VERY MUCH SHAPED SO IT CAN FEEL VERY ORGANIC AND NOT, NOT VERY PARTICULAR, BUT IT, WE CAN ORIENT IT TOWARDS SONOMA MOUNTAIN WHERE MARY LIVED AND KIND OF CREATE AN HOMAGE TO HER WITH IT FROM ANYWHERE IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO IN OUR NEXT MEETING WE WILL AGENDIZE, UM, THE SELECTION OF OUR CHAIR 'CAUSE ANN HAS BEEN DOING IT FROM DEFAULT AND I WASN'T SURE HOW MANY OF US WOULD BE HERE TODAY. 
          I PROBABLY WOULD'VE ARRANGED THAT IF I KNEW . 
          BUT UM, BUT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE OUR NEXT MEETING IN OCTOBER WHERE WE'LL SELECT A CHAIR IF YOU CAN'T BE PRESENT, YOU KNOW, I'M HAPPY TO TAKE FEEDBACK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE, HAVE A ROLE OR IF YOU HAVE A PREFERENTIAL PLACE YOU OR LIKE SUBCOMMITTEE YOU'D LIKE TO BE ON. 
          BUT WE ARE GOING TO EXPAND OUR EXISTING SUBCOMMITTEES TO NOW HAVE THREE PEOPLE EACH. 
          PREVIOUSLY WE HAD TWO TO NOT HAVE A QUORUM ISSUE. 
          AND I'M SORRY IF I'M TALKING A LOT. 
          I'M TRYING TO GIVE A LOT OF FOUNDATIONAL INFORMATION TO YOU ALL SO WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE AT. 
          UM, AND I'LL STOP APOLOGIZING SOON. 
          UM, THE SMALL ARCS WORKS COMMISSION IS ON HOLD PENDING FUNDING, SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT ON UNTIL WE HAVE MORE OPTIONS. 
          UM, THE SMART OR TRAFFIC CALL, THIS IS PRETTY EXCITING. 
          UM, FORMER MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE CHRISTMAS SENT OVER A GRANT TODAY FOR A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, UM, REVITALIZATION OR RE WHAT IS IT? I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT NAME AND I CAN SHARE IT WITH YOU 'CAUSE IT CAME IN KINDA LATER IN THE DAY. 
          BUT, UM, IT'S ABOUT PAINTING THE ASPHALT FOR TRAFFIC CALMING AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR PROJECTS THAT COMPLETELY RENOVATE A SPACE THROUGH THEIR IMPACT. 
          IT'S A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS GRANT THAT'S ALLOWED FOR MULTIPLE CITIES, FOR CITIES OVER 50,000 PEOPLE. 
          SO WE ARE TOTALLY QUALIFIED AND POISED. 
          THIS WAS A, A PROJECT THAT DAVID WARD WAS WORKING ON AND I HAVE SINCE BEEN INTO A FEW MEETINGS WITH BLUE ZONES. 
          THEY'VE STARTED THESE CONVERSATIONS. 
          SO WE HAVE A LOT OF FOUNDATIONAL WORK FROM PAC AND FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE TOTALLY POISED TO WRITE FOR THIS GRANT. 
          SO I WOULD DEFINITELY LOVE, I WILL BE SHARING IT AND THEN, UM, I'D LOVE FEEDBACK ON ANYBODY DIRECTLY TO ME, WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT THE GRANT AND IF THEY HAVE SOME VANTAGE POINT THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT GRANT WRITING PROCESS. 
          'CAUSE I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US AND IT KIND OF BRINGS THIS, THIS, UH, PROJECT BACK INTO THE REALISTIC REALM. 
          I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT. 
          UM, THE SMART PARCEL, IT'S A PRIVATE PUBLIC LICENSE, SO WE'RE WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN IF ANYBODY'S INTERESTED IN LETTING US USE THAT FOR ARC PLACEMENT. 
          LYNCH CREEK TRAIL AND RIVER ARCH PHASE TWO. 
          SO THOSE ARE THE BENCH AND FRAGMENTS I MENTIONED ON THE SATURDAY BEFORE LAST WE HAD A WORKDAY ON THE LYNCH CREEK TRAIL AND THE, THE LYNCH CREEK TRAIL FROM MCDOWELL ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE BASHAW BRIDGE. 
          I THINK IT'S THE BASHAW BRIDGE ON THE BACK OF BREWSTERS. 
          UM, 60 COMMUNITY MEMBERS PLUS AND CITY STAFF CAME DOWN AND BEGAN DOING A CLEANUP. 
          THE SOUND WALL WAS PAINTED WITH PRIMER, GRAFFITI WAS REMOVED, TRASH WAS REMOVED, TREES WERE TRIMMED AND WE'RE PREPARING TO DO SOMETHING REALLY UNIQUE AND MAKING THIS A, LIKE WE'RE TAKING AN ACTIVE COMMUNITY STANDS TO MAKE THIS A SAFE AND INVITING SPACE. 
          THE CITY MANAGER REACHED OUT TO SEE IF WE HAVE INTEREST IN PURSUING SOMETHING WITH THE SOUND WALLS. 
          THERE'S NOT A BIG BUDGET, BUT IT'S LIKE THESE ARE REALLY INTERESTING WALLS, BUT THEY'RE ALSO REALLY, UM, TEXTURED AND ARTICULATED. 
          SO I INVITE YOU ALL TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND I'D LOVE TO HEAR FEEDBACK ON WHAT YOU THINK YOU SEE THERE OR WHAT YOU, WHAT YOU'RE INSPIRED BY. 
          'CAUSE IT'S AN UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY AND IF WE WANNA BUILD COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING AROUND THAT, LIKE IF IT'S SOMETHING WHERE WE WANNA DO SOMETHING WHOLLY DIFFERENT, I MET WITH UH, GEO BENEDETTI THERE, WHO'S A LOCAL ARTIST TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT LIKE INSPIRATION. 
          AND WE NOTICED IN THE TAKING DOWN OF GRAFFITI THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE PUT MEMORIALS ALONG THERE TO PEOPLE THEY'D LOST. 
          AND THESE ALCOVES COULD ALMOST SERVE AS MEMORIALS IF WE INVITED THE PUBLIC TO USE THEM FOR THAT. 
          WE COULD CREATE A SPACE FOR THAT WHERE ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S WITHIN SOMETHING THAT'S RESPECTED AND NOT JUST KIND OF CHAOTICALLY PAINTED OVER OR WHATEVER. 
          WE COULD CREATE OPPORTUNITIES. 
          ALSO, THE WALLS ARE REALLY INTERESTING IN THAT IF YOU WALK ONE DIRECTION, THEY 
          [01:15:01]
STICK OUT A LITTLE BIT AND THEN IT'S A DIFFERENT, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE MAYBE AN IMAGE THAT MOVES AS YOU WALK OR AS YOU RIDE A BIKE. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY THERE. 
          SO I'D LOVE TO SEE WHAT YOU GUYS THINK BECAUSE I, I FELT PRETTY INSPIRED. 
          AND WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE COULD TAKE FIBER, LIKE, UM, FABRIC THAT'S FOR PAINTING AND THEN YOU CAN GO AND ADHERE IT AND ACRYLIC OVER IT. 
          SO WE MAY HAVE SOME OFFSITE OPPORTUNITIES TO INVITE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO PARTICIPATE IN BEAUTIFYING THESE WALLS. 
          SO THE, AT THIS STEP I WANNA DO ALL TO KIND OF TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT INSPIRATION YOU SEE AND I JUST, I WANNA GIVE YOU GUYS OPPORTUNITIES TO START LOOKING AT THESE SPACES THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE, THE CITY AND SEE HOW WE CAN HAVE AN IMPACT IN IMPROVING THEM AND INVITING THE PUBLIC TO IMPROVE THEM BECAUSE I, I FEEL LIKE IT CAN HAVE A HUGE IMPACT AND BE COMMUNITY GENERATED AND I INVITE THE PUBLIC TO WRITE TO US AND TELL US WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT THOSE SPACES BECAUSE WE WILL RECEIVE THOSE COMMENTS AND SHARE THEM AND IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE PUBLIC INVOLVED IN THE CONVERSATION, THE MURAL WALLS THAT ARE ON LYNCH CREEK TRAIL. 
          SO JUST TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THAT, THAT'S, UH, NATHAN APPLE WHO HAS WIZARD OF METALS HAS TALKED ABOUT, UH, FENCING THAT COULD FACILITATE MURALS ALONG HIS PROPERTY LINE, WHICH IS RIGHT NEAR THE RIVER ARCH THAT'S STILL IN NEGOTIATIONS. 
          IT'S REALLY PRELIMINARY. 
          SO IT'S JUST KEEPING IT ON OUR AGENDA SO THAT WE'RE AWARE THAT WE COULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY DOWN THE ROAD. 
          AND IT'S COOL THAT THE LYNCH CREEK TRAIL COULD BE AN ARTS TRAIL AND THAT SOUNDS REALLY AMAZING TO ME AND GET PEOPLE FEELING SAFE TO USE IT AS THE CROSSTOWN CONNECTOR THAN IT IS BECAUSE IF YOU HAVEN'T USED IT, IT'S PRETTY AMAZING TO BE ABLE TO JUST GET AWAY FROM TRAFFIC AND ZIP OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE. 
          UM, YEAH. 
          UM, SO, UM, OH THIS WAS AN UPDATE THIS WEEK. 
          IS THAT THE, UM, KELLER STREET PARKING GARAGE MURAL ABSTRACTIONS BY RYAN PETERSON. 
          CLEANUP IS COMING UP. 
          WE'RE SPEAKING WITH TARAN AT REBUILDING TOGETHER ON MONDAY ABOUT THE CLEANUP DAY. 
          AND RYAN IS GONNA COME IN AND DO SOME REPAIRS TO THE MURAL, UM, GRAFFITI ABATEMENT AND CLEANUP IN ADVANCE OF THE COMING RAINS AND SEASON CHANGES. 
          SO WE'RE HOPING LIKE OCTOBER WE GET THAT DONE AND IT'LL JUST BE A CLEANUP AND THAT'S WHAT'S WITHIN HIS BUDGET ORIGINALLY. 
          SO THAT FEELS GOOD TO GET THAT CLEANED UP. 
          AND THEN, UM, I HAVE SOME BIG NEWS THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S FINISHING AND I DIDN'T GET IT IN HERE IN TIME, BUT UM, WE ARE WORKING RIGHT NOW ON, UM, I'LL PULL UP SOME IMAGES, BUT A BURNING MAN ARTIST HAD PUT OUT AN INQUIRY TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT LOOKING FOR STORAGE AND HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEACE. 
          THAT WAS ON THE PLAYA THIS YEAR. 
          NAGA, IT WAS NAGA AND THE COUNTESS WE'RE NOT TAKING THE COUNTESS PART, BUT WE'RE TAKING THE NAGA PART, WHICH IS A SEA SERPENT. 
          UM, AND WE'RE LOOKING TO HAVE THAT ON DISPLAY AT THE FAIRGROUNDS THIS WINTER. 
          AND SO THE ARTISTS, WERE TAKING A NEW KIND OF BETA TEST TO THIS OPPORTUNITY. 
          WE'RE WORKING WITH CITY STAFF TO CREATE A LICENSING AGREEMENT WHERE THE ARTIST IS GONNA BE WORKING ON A SPACE WITH HER TEAM THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC TO COME AND VIEW. 
          THEY'RE GONNA BE REPAIRING SOME PARTS TO IT THAT WERE DAMAGED AND PAINTING IT BECAUSE THE PIECE IS GONNA BE GOING TO GOLDEN GATE PARK. 
          IT'S GONNA BE PLACED IN A POND AT GOLDEN GATE PARK FOR TWO YEARS. 
          SO SHE HAS SOME FINISHING SHE HAS TO DO TO MAKE IT WORK FOR THAT SITE. 
          I BELIEVE IT'S A 20 FOOT DEEP POND THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE DRAINING AND PUTTING PIERS IN TO SUPPORT THIS. 
          SO WE ARE GETTING AN IN-KIND TRADE OF USE FOR OUR FAIRGROUNDS FOR RESTORATION DURING LIKE A DOWN PERIOD. 
          AND IN RETURN WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE PIECE DISPLAYED FOR 4, 6, 8 WEEKS POTENTIALLY THROUGH UM, JULY, UH, SORRY, JANUARY 7TH AT LEAST. 
          AND THEN IT WILL GO TO SAN FRANCISCO. 
          AND SO THE PIECE, WHEN IT'S IN THE RESTORATION PROCESS IS GONNA BE SET BACK TOWARDS HERZOG HALL AND WE WILL BE DOING SOME PROGRAMMING WHERE THERE'LL BE TIMES WHERE THIS, THE PUBLIC CAN COME AND TAKE A LOOK AND SEE, AND THEN WE'LL MOVE IT TO THE FRONT OF THE FAIRGROUNDS PROPERTY. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE IT JUST BEYOND GROOM TRANSPORTATION. 
          IT'LL BE ON THAT CORNER WHERE THERE'S NOTHING BLOCKING IT. 
          THE PIECE, IF IT WAS PUT SIDE BY SIDE, IT'S CONTIGUOUSLY, IT WOULD BE OVER A HUNDRED FEET LONG. 
          THE HEAD OF IT IS 22 FEET TALL, THE TAIL'S 24, UM, IT WAS LIGHTED AT THE PLAYA AND SHE'S GONNA RETURN LIGHTING TO IT. 
          SO WE WILL HAVE THIS DURING, UM, LUMA ICE, WHICH IS OUR ICE SKATING RINK THAT'S COMING TO OUR FAIRGROUND. 
          SO IT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF GREAT PROGRAMMING. 
          I'M WORKING WITH A LOCAL ARTIST INFLATABLE WHO'S GONNA BE BRINGING INFLATABLE LIGHT INSTALLATIONS, LIKE HE'S WORKED WITH NAPA LIGHTS AND WE'RE GONNA BE DOING INTERNAL INSTALLATION THERE AT THE ICE RINK TOO. 
          SO THE PROGRAMMING FOR THIS IS GONNA BE REALLY SPECTACULAR IN A REGIONAL DRAW. 
          AND I WANTED TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW RIGHT AWAY WE'RE JUST FINISHING THE LICENSING AGREEMENT 
          [01:20:01]
AND THAT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT CAME OUT OF LIKE RHONDA BLACK, WHO'S A LOCAL ARTIST, SAW IT ON HER FACEBOOK, SHARED IT WITH ME. 
          AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO REACH OUT TO THE DEPUTY PARKS DIRECTOR KAT AND WE BOTH WERE LIKE, LET'S NOT LOSE THIS SHOT. 
          THIS IS A WAY WE CAN USE AN IN-KIND OPPORTUNITY TO BRING ART. 
          WE'RE NOT COMMITTED TO IT. 
          WE DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID OF IT. 
          IT'S GONNA LAST A NUMBER OF MONTHS AND WE CAN JUST KIND OF ENJOY IT AND BASK IN THE GLOW. 
          UM, I'LL SHARE A COUPLE OF QUICK PICTURES JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. 
          SO, UM, THIS IS NAGA ON THE PLAYA. 
          UM, IT'S NOT SHARING, SO, SO YOU CAN GET A LOOK AT WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE OR HE, UM, THERE WAS A LOT OF NARRATIVE CREATED ABOUT IT. 
          THERE WAS A GOFUNDME. 
          SO IF YOU RESEARCH NAGA AND THE COUNTESS, YOU WILL FIND TONS OF MATERIAL WITH HISTORIC CONTRIBUTIONS, ALL KINDS OF THINGS. 
          WE ARE NOT TAKING THE SHIP PORTION, WE'RE TAKING NAGA. 
          IT'S A LITTLE LESS CLIMBABLE. 
          THIS IS DESIGNED AS PUBLIC ARTS. 
          WE WILL HAVE, UH, FENCING AROUND IT TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM THEMSELVES AND THERE WILL BE SIGNAGE AND UM, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED THAT WE GET TO BE PART OF NAGAS JOURNEY ON HER WAY TO SAN FRANCISCO. 
          AND IT'S, IT'S A PROCESS THAT WE'RE GETTING BY WORKING AS A COLLECTIVE TEAM ACROSS DEPARTMENTS TO ALLOW THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PUBLIC. 
          UM, YEAH, I'M, I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS. 
          AND THEN HERE'S AN IMAGE OF HER HEAD WITH ONE OF THE CONTRIBUTING ARTISTS, CJ. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE NAGAS HEAD , UM, AND SHE ON THE PLAYA, SHE BLEW BUBBLES OUT OF HER MOUTH AND WAS LIT AND SHE'S JUST MAGICAL. 
          AND I SEE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PROGRAMMING WITH THE LIBRARY FOR PROGRAMMING WITH EVERYBODY. 
          LIKE THIS IS A REAL OPPORTUNITY AND SHE'S KIND OF GOT WINTER VIBES WITH HER ICY COOL SCALES. 
          UM, AND I HAVE ONE MORE FINAL IMAGE, WHICH IS REALLY A SHOWSTOPPER TO ME. 
          UM, THIS IS WHAT NAGA LOOKS LIKE AT NIGHT. 
          LOAD UP A LITTLE, BUT UM, JUST TO GET A SENSE, SHE WILL HAVE FINS THAT YOU DON'T SEE ON THERE. 
          SHE'S GONNA HAVE SOME SCALES REPLACED. 
          LIKE, I JUST CAN'T WAIT AND I WANNA WORK WITH ALL OF YOU ONCE THE LICENSE IS DONE AND EVERYTHING. 
          I WANT US ALL TO WORK AS IN A TEAM TO SEND OUR IDEAS FOR HOW WE PROGRAM THIS AND GET THE BEST OUT OF IT FOR OUR COMMUNITY. 
          'CAUSE I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A REALLY BIG GIFT TO US FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND UM, IT'S GONNA BE SPECTACULAR AND IT'S HOPEFULLY THE BEGINNING OF US LOOKING AT IN KIND OPPORTUNITIES TO AUGMENT OUR PROGRAM OUTSIDE THE BOX, THINKING LIKE WE COULDN'T HAVE AFFORDED THIS FOR OUR COMMUNITY WITHOUT SUPPORT FROM WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          SO I, I REALLY WANNA POINT THAT OUT AND SHOW THAT THIS IS THE FUTURE OF PUBLIC ART THAT I REALLY WANNA SEE US LOOK TOWARDS. 
          AND, UH, YEAH, I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT OBVIOUSLY. 
          SO WITH THAT, I'LL STOP MY SHARES AND UM, I'M OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS OR ANYTHING. 
          AND I HAVE ONE CLARIFICATION. 
          WHEN, WHEN IS THIS PIECE COMING? POTENTIALLY NEXT WEEK WE HAVE TO FINISH THE LICENSING AGREEMENT. 
          WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS IT'S SITTING ON SEMIS IN THE DESERT. 
          IT NEEDS TO BE MOVED AND THIS IS US HEATING A CALL AND BEING FLEXIBLE. 
          IT'S GONNA BE SECURED, IT'S GONNA BE SIDEWAYS DURING CONSTRUCTION. 
          IT'S NOT GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT'S A DANGER TO ANYBODY. 
          IT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF REASSEMBLING SCALES. 
          UM, JUST FOR A FUN FACTOID ON THIS, IT HAS 4,000 HANDMADE SCALES. 
          NOTHING'S LASER CUT. 
          SO IT REPRESENTS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE SPENDING TONS OF HOURS WORKING ON THIS. 
          IF IT WAS ONE PERSON MANUFACTURING THE SCALES, IT WOULD BE 82 STRAIGHT DAYS OF THEIR LIFE. 
          . 
          SO JUST TO SIT IN MOTION WHAT THIS REPRESENTS AND ALL THAT WAS PUT INTO IT, THIS IS NOT ONE PERSON'S PROJECT, IT'S LIKE A TEAM. 
          AND THEN WITHIN THAT TEAM, IT REPRESENTS ALL THE EFFORTS THAT REALLY SHOW THE ETHOS OF BURNING MAN AND THE SUPPORT FOR THE ARTISTS IN THESE LARGE SCALE PROJECTS. 
          SO, UM, I JUST WANTED TO INFORM YOU GUYS ABOUT THAT. 
          I THINK THAT'S SUPER EXCITING. 
          I I THINK THAT'S SO EXCITING. 
          I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT. 
          AND WITH THE ICE RINK GOING IN, THAT'S REALLY JUST, YOU KNOW, PERFECT TIMING. 
          UM, THIS MAKES ME THINK THAT THEY, THAT WE COULD WORK WITH THE 
          [01:25:01]
FAIRGROUNDS TO HOUSE OTHER ALREADY PRESENT AND CREATED SCULPTURES AND PETALUMA. 
          I'M THINKING OF THE LOT, YOU KNOW, THAT THE RHINO CAR AND ALL THESE, KEVIN HAS THOSE AMAZING PIECES. 
          I SAW TWO OF THEM MOVING ONTO A SEMI TODAY AND I REALLY WANT THEM IN MY OWN YARD . 
          BUT IT WOULD BE AMAZING TO, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THAT WAREHOUSES, HOUSED SCULPTURES COULD ACTUALLY LIVE AT THE FAIRGROUNDS. 
          IF THERE'S, YOU KNOW, SOME SORT OF ARRANGEMENT THAT THE PUBLIC COULD VIEW IT, IT WOULD BE PROBABLY GOOD FOR THE ARTIST AS WELL. 
          IT'S MORE EXPOSURE, YOU KNOW, UM, IT'S A, IT'S A WIN-WIN. 
          I LOVE IT. 
          I'D LOVE TO BE ON ANY SUBCOMMITTEE THAT KIND OF BRINGS THIS TO, UM, WELL I THINK THIS IS A WHOLE TEAM. 
          LIKE I SEE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR WHOLE TEAM. 
          IT'S GONNA BE ALL HANDS ON DECKS WITH A LOT OF CREATIVE JUICES FLOWING. 
          LIKE I WANNA SEE EVERYBODY CONTRIBUTE IF IN A WAY THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH HOW WE WANNA DO THIS. 
          LIKE COMMUNITY OUTREACH, YOU KNOW, DOCUMENTING IT, CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR IT TO BE AN ASSET FOR EVERYONE. 
          UM, AND I WILL SAY LIKE LUMA ICE IS GONNA, THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON WITH LUMA ICE THAT I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING. 
          IT'S SO MAGICAL. 
          BUT WE'RE GONNA HAVE A WHOLE KIND OF SCENE. 
          I ASSUME THE THE MAP WILL BE AVAILABLE, BUT WE'RE GONNA HAVE THIS 140 FOOT BY A HUNDRED FOOT TENT THAT'S 27 FEET TALL. 
          WE'RE GONNA HAVE, UM, CRAFT VENDORS, FOOD VENDORS, UM, THE CHRISTMAS TREE LOT, IT'S GONNA BE PART OF THIS. 
          THERE'S GONNA BE A LITTLE TRAIN THAT GOES ON TO THE, THE FAIRGROUNDS. 
          SO YOU CAN GO FROM THE, THE ICE RINK INTO THE FAIRGROUNDS AND SEE NAGA, SEE THE FAIRGROUNDS. 
          AND THEN ALSO THERE'S GONNA BE A, UM, TROLLEY OR BUS FROM THIS SITE TO DOWNTOWN. 
          WE REALLY WANNA CONNECT TO DIM DOWNTOWN AND CONNECT OUR EVEN INFLATABLE OR LIGHTING DOWNTOWN. 
          SO THIS IS LIKE ALL PLAYING INTO A COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE AND WE'RE WORKING ON LIKE PROGRAMMING THAT WILL CONNECT TO DOWNTOWN RETAILERS. 
          THAT'S ALL DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW. 
          BUT I THINK IT'S, IT'S A TIME TO REALLY BE EXCITED AND PROUD OF OUR COMMUNITY AND I INVITE EVERYBODY TO LIKE COME AND EXPERIENCE IT. 
          'CAUSE I THINK WE'RE GONNA, THEY'RE IDENTIFYING NIGHTS FOR LIKE SPECIAL SPECIAL THINGS OR DJS OR MUSIC, UH, ALL KINDS OF STUFF LIKE ONESIE NIGHT COSTUMES, ALL KINDS OF FUN STUFF. 
          SUPER INTERESTING. 
          DOES ANYONE ELSE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THE, UM, WHAT WAS THIS CALLED? PROJECT REPORT? PROJECT STATUS REPORT. 
          CHERYL? WELL IT'S NOT REALLY A PROJECT STATUS REPORT, BUT UM, I SHOULD HAVE SAID IT DURING STAFF COMMENT. 
          SORRY. 
          UM, SO IN JUNE, OUR LONGEST TIME MEMBER CHRISTOPHER SMITH TIMED OUT AND OF COURSE WE LOST EIGHT YEARS OF INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND HISTORY. 
          AND SO HE SAID, CHERYL, YOU'RE THE NOW YOU'RE THE LONGEST. 
          'CAUSE IT, I'M THREE YEARS ON THE COMMITTEE AND HE SAID, SO BE SURE AND WELCOME ANNE, WHO'S BEEN OUR VICE CHAIR TONIGHT AS OUR ACTING CHAIR. 
          AND SO I ALMOST FORGOT TO DO THAT. 
          BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH ANNE FOR STEPPING UP. 
          ABSOLUTELY, MY PLEASURE. 
          AND THANK YOU CHRISTOPHER FOR, UM, PUTTING THAT OUT THERE. 
          IT, YOU KNOW, HE, HE LED THIS COMMITTEE WITH SUCH, UM, A STEADY HAND AND JUST SUCH, UM, INTELLIGENCE THAT HE BROUGHT TO IT. 
          NOT ONLY, YOU KNOW, TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE AND CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE, BUT EVEN JUST SORT OF HIS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, THE WAY HE REALLY RESPONDED TO EVERYBODY'S QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS. 
          AND HE REALLY SETS THE BAR HIGH. 
          SO, UM, I TRULY, WE WILL ALL MISS HIM A LOT AS YOU KNOW, BUT HE REALLY, UM, WAS EXEMPLARY AS A CHAIR ON THIS COMMITTEE. 
          SO, UM, IT'S BEEN GREAT JUST TO BE UP HERE FOR TONIGHT  AND WE'LL SEE WHERE IT GOES. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          ARE THERE ANY OTHER TOPICS, ANY EVENTS ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP? 'CAUSE THIS IS ALWAYS A GREAT ONE TO TALK ABOUT, LIKE WHAT YOU MIGHT KNOW WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THAT WE DON'T KNOW. 
          UM, I KNOW THERE'S AN OPEN, I DUNNO IF I HAVE THE HALL OF THE ABOVE IS AN OPEN EVENT SPACE THAT'S GONNA BE IN THE FORMER SEED BANK. 
          UM, DO ANY OF YOU KNOW THE EXACT DATE OF THAT OPENING? I KNOW IT'S POSTED ON THE BUILDING. 
          I THINK IT'S LIKE OCTOBER 14TH POTENTIALLY, OR THE 11TH. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT'S STICKING OUT, BUT UM, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, THERE'S AN EXHIBIT INSIDE OF THERE RIGHT NOW TOO. 
          BUT THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO JUST POINT OUT ANYTHING. 
          AND ALSO IF YOU'VE BEEN EXPOSED TO LIKE, IF YOU'RE TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN AND YOU'RE SEEING ART PLACES THAT REALLY INSPIRES YOU. 
          I WELCOME 
          [01:30:01]
AND I, THE WHOLE TEAM DOES YOUR PRESENTATIONS LIKE IN THE PAST WE'VE ALL BROUGHT FORWARD LIKE IF WE'RE ON VACATION AND WE'RE SEEING THINGS OR IF WE SEE SOMETHING THAT REALLY WORKS SOMEWHERE ELSE AND WE WANNA INSPIRE EACH OTHER IN THE PUBLIC, IT'S A GREAT FORUM FOR LIKE EDUCATION FOR EACH OTHER AND WE WANT YOUR VOICES.

          WELL IF ANYBODY UM, ELSE WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE, NO, THEN I GUESS WE ARE MOVING INTO ADJOURNMENT. 
          ARE THERE ANY FORMALITIES THAT I'VE MISSED HERE? OKAY, SO WITH THAT AND HERE COMES THE FAVORITE PART. 
          WE ARE NOW ADJOURNED AT. 
          AND WAIT, I HAVE ONE LAST THING I JUST REALIZED. 
          UM, IN THE PAST WE'VE COMBINED OUR DECEMBER NOVEMBER MEETINGS BECAUSE IT'S REALLY TRICKY BEING A FOURTH THURSDAY IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. 
          UM, A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN'T ATTEND AND WE END UP WITH QUORUM ISSUES. 
          SO I'M LOOKING RIGHT NOW FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF DECEMBER 5TH OR DECEMBER 12TH AS POSSIBLE DATES. 
          IF THAT'S A BIG PROBLEM FOR YOU GUYS, LET ME KNOW. 
          I'M CHECKING IN TO MAKE SURE NO OTHER COMMITTEES ARE HAVING MEETINGS THEN. 
          BUT I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A HEADS UP THAT THE HOLIDAYS ARE TRICKY. 
          WE'RE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU. 
          WE'LL TRY TO CONSOLIDATE AND HAVE A DATE THAT WORKS FOR THE MAJORITY OF US. 
          SO JUST TO KEEP THAT ON YOUR RADAR. 
          WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK STILL? THURSDAY. 
          THURSDAY, OKAY. 
          YEAH, PROBABLY. 
          BUT WE'RE GONNA SEE WHAT'S AVAILABLE. 
          WORK ON THAT. 
           BACK TO YOU, ANN. 
          OKAY, WAIT FOR IT. 
          .
