I was raised running around the museums and all the art and e�erything and the many art museums are always my fa�orites, but I was always �ery blessed to go to t�e Ameri�an History Museum and alI the others were always ��ry fascinating. And I was there when the Air and Space Museum opened. My father had a cammunity garden. He was part af` a community garden behind where the air and 5pa�e opened. I had one of the first camtnunity gardens in the city and it happened ta be in Washington, DC.

I can't recall what the 5tatement was, and it's not important to me, but I_just wanted ta l�t the town know. L�PL]SZAI�CSI{l: W� record the audio and sometimes if it's inaudible for the transcribing program to pick up, it'il end. If somebody isn't leaning farward towards the mi� or stops talking it will stop with the la�t word and what is coming up in the �erbatim. YUDER: Qkay, thank you, it wasn't important to me just for awareness. That makes it understandable then. Can I get a motion, please? BURNS: I move to appro�e the minutes. Y�DER: C:an I g�t a second`?

The next item on the agenda is Consideration and Passible Action the Martin Luther King Jr, Essay Poetry Contest. PRESTUN: Perfect. I'll jump in on that ane. So first, thank you guys for agreeing. Some af you are just here now and didn't agree, but you're part of it now to help th� recreativn team take a look at these essays. It's a contest we started last year. It went well last year, got a lot of really great submissions, and �ot a lot of really great submissions again this year. So our team was able to narrow it down ta three for ea�h age gz-oup. SQ three for the elementary age, three for the middle school age, and three �ar the hi�;h schaol age. I know some of theYn got a chance to look at them. I know they couid turn them in up until today, which is why you didn't ha�e them ita your hands earlier, but if you had a chance to look at them, you guys are welcome to dis�uss your fa�orites. And then what you'll be doing is you'1� be advisirig us, the rec team, specifically on maybe wha we should cansider first for all three, one for each age group. - 4 - https:llotter.ai H15T�RYANI] CULTURE ADV15C]RY [;QMM15SiON ]ANUARY 8, 2�25, VERBIITIM MEET[NG MINUTES Y�DFR: ��Cay, so I ha�e a question. I thought, you know, I read them already through, and kind....were we Suppased to ha�e dane that already and formed thoughts or opinions`? PREST�N: Ideally, yes, I know rnaybe with the timeline, e�eryhody got thern, that might nat ha�e happened, but ideally, yes, ha�ing them already ha�e read thr�ugh or taking a brief moment, you can read through them. Now, we probably won't read through them ajl �erbatim on the minutes, but if yau want ta just take a look at those so I can, as you're looking at it, I can kind of des�ribe the campetitian a little �it, if`you want. I'm not sure if e�erybody's h�d a chance to look at these or fonned an opinion, but basically, they were gi�en an option af prompts or quotes on which to write their poems on. M�st of th�m ha�e their prompts, I belie�e, Iisted in the title. I think there's one that may not ha�e them written there. A lat of theYn were a thank you to Dr King. So writing a thank you note ta Dr Ifing in the form af a poem. A lot of them chose a quote from Dr ICing on which kind of put their pvem as inspiration, Make an example of one of them, I w'rll get to it shortly. Or another prampt here was to write a poem about your dreams for a Better America. And these were prompts that were discussed in a pre�ious meeting here at this commission as well. I Yeah, so if anybody has any thoughts, anything they want ta share specifically. YQDER: I had some thoughts. And whiie I dis�uss some of my thoughts on these, this is just for my awn thing. I wan't reference anybody's last name, and wha wrote these poem5. And I guess I'll .just start with my favorite rankings for each of the age groups for the third thraugh fifth grade. There were, I think, three submissions. I liked Grace'S as my f rst choice. I liked the genuineness and the old--fashion of the handwritten and it just seemed real like a third to fifth grader would create, with and aimost without any assistan�e fram parents. Number two would be Marcella. I think I 1 iked that the second- best is August, the sixth through eighth grade. PRESTON: There, again, and real qui�k, Tim. Sa just ta paint out, as far as the handwritten I knaw the teacher� got a lot of them submitted handwritten and they typed them out for u5 so that they can then be ema�led, was part ofthe requirements I see. So, most of them were als� handwritten. This one ju�t happened to be printed out the handwritten �ersion. YQDER: Qkay, just in case. Just so you know that's impvrtant for me. Yeah, it doesn't n�cessarily mean anytl�ing, but it could so now. - 5 - htt�s:llotter.ai HISTORY 11ND CUI,TllRE ADVISaRY C�MMI55IDN ]ANUARY 8, 20Z5, VERBIITIM MEETII�G M[Nl]TE5 PRESTUN: Understood �ust wanted to let yau knaw. YQDER: Dkay, than�C yau, boy, that's an interestin� stat�ment that you made there. PRESTUN: That pertains mostly only to the third through fifth grade. YDDER: So sixth through eighth grade, I found that more difficult, and I thought, almost in my opinian, that all three of these submissions, I think, Hiram, Preston, and Auric were again genuine. I like the siinple approach of Hiram's and well, they were all kind af that way. And J appreciated that. And then from the ninth to the 12th grade submissians. My ranking would be Nina first. I belie�e Shreyaan next and Aleah, third, it's t�ugh, but that's it. Just want to say that, okay, yeah. PRESTUN: And if' anybady else has an opinion too, you can let me know. Y�u can refer to it by name, but if you prefer not to, you can describe it in other ways as well, but I thank you, Tim, for that. GALLAGHER: I'll be happy to ring in and I'I1 go backwards froin the older kids to the younger ones. I thau�ht the third paem was my fa�orite af those that the high schaolers did. Did you want me t� rank all three of them or just gi�e you a fa�orite? PRES�,ON: You �ould just do a favarite. GALLAGHER: The reason is, while simplicity is nice, I ihaught it at the high schovl le�el, the third one had a little more depth to it, and that I appre�iated. For the middle schovl le�el, my fa�orite was the first one, for both that reas�n and the �ontent Qf it, I liked what it had to say mare than the ather two, not by much, but a little bit. And for the third to fifth graders. While I dn appreciate the handwritten but ha�ing heard that many of them might ha�e been, I like the originality of using Mr, ICing's initials to start each line of the third poem. So that's what I thought. PRESTflN: "f'hank you. I appreciate that. Does anyhody else ha�ve any thoughts on these? BURNS: Yeah, I'll, �'ll throw in an it like I said. You know, qualifying as I'm, I'm not necessarily that good to �udge poehy in particular. But I thaught this was amazing work across the hoard far kids at this age, particularly the youngest ones. I guess I singled out The Kir�g by Nathan for the yaungest kids, is my fa�orite there. I don'k know of any particular reason. It just, you knaw, spoke to me. I guess Middle 5chool was wha# I had d�wn was a lot of these were thank yau so Auric is the one I kind af single aut as my fa�orite there. And for the aldest kids, they just went with, with the real simple and brief Alaya, is that how you pronaunce that? I don't know. But so I dan't know if that helps you at all. I'm not sure we're getting any cansensus h�re for you. - 6 - ht#os:llotter.ai H1STaRY flND CllLTLJRE I1DV15flRY CUMMI55IQN f�1Nl]ARY 8, 2D25, VERBAT[M MEET[NG MII�UTES PREST�N: Nope it all helps me. I appreciate it. Thank you. LEPQER: I can gi�e yau my perception, ha�ing obvious�y nat tharaughly read them, bui kind ❑f madestly. My fa�orite af the nine through 12 was the last one by Cheri Ann. I lo�ed her use, I think maybe her use af haw she �risualized thing5. T� me in the middle the six through ei�ht, I liked my dream to America to make America a better place. I thou�ht that was a �ery nice, well-rounded poem, And then I liked the king, the king for third through fifth. Lots of beautiful thoughts. PREST�N: Thank you. YQDER: I think 5usan. QBST-DW�RKIS: Yeah, the third through f fth grade, The King, I like that one a lat. The sixth through eighth is Hiram. Thank you to Dr King and the nin� through 12 is Shryann. I like that one #he most. VaDER: Ms., Bonnie. Yau wish to chime in, yeah, all right, KLIN E: 1 like the one by Shreyaan for the older children and then The King, I and the one by Auric for the middle six to eighth grade. Did I get all of those? PRESTQN: Yau did? Thank you. All right. WeII, I appreciate the feedback e�erybody. S❑ we'�e got that all laid out. We'll kind af tally that up and prohably provide a little update on that far you next week, but I appreciate y�u taking a look at those. �r sorry, next time we meet, it's actually the winners will actually be announced. aBST-DWURKIS: Susan, yeah, I just had a question. Are other people that are gaing thraugh these gaing to �i�e you input`? PRF5TQ1�1: Yes. S� the way it w�rk5, so we actually narrow these down, there was probably closer ta about 15 per age group that ��ere submitted. So we did narrow down to aur top three for each now we'll take your input with the team that's }�een loc�king at them already, and use your ad�ice �n this to help us make that final decision. And those wil� be announced. The winners will be announced at the �aext town cauncil meeting, which I belie�e is �anuary 21 st that Tuesday, which I belie�e is 21 st and that'S when the winners will be announced, and the kids wil! ha�e the oppartunity ta read them in front ❑f e�erybody t�ere as well, We're not going to f'orce them, but they will have the opportunity.

Y�DER: 50, a lrttle background stary for aur new member5. lt was a few months ago, that Ryan shared with us an interesting project that Mesa did, and it was a project supported in the Mesa schools, where th� M��a kids were gi�en ❑ppartunities t� �reate ar-t or art proje�t5 or write essays in support af staries af Mesa history. What I did, and it was about a manth late, but I finally got it done. I basically used the Mesa design and created and copied aff, typed it all aut, a rough draft of'the document that M�sa, the town of Mesa, distributed to market their campaign. And that's where we are ri�;ht now. I - 9 - httqs:llfltter.ai HISTORY AND CULTUR� 11DV[S�RY CQMMlSS]DN J�1N[]ARY 8, 2025, VERSATIM MEETING MINLIT�S submitted it ta you guys, I think, weil, a few weeks ago, I belie�e it was, and it's just in rau�h draft form. Should I go a�er it �uickly or what? Anyway, that's my statement. I've submitted that rough draft. PRESTUN: I t�ink, we can da it under this agenda item is assigned a couple more members, Cwo more members io the workgroup. So we can get two more people on that work group with you. There'S s�mebndy that wanted to join you on that, and then we'11 be able to you guys can dis�uss that draft within that workgroup, and then we'll send it out. YaDER: Qkay? So that begs the question and a problem that I faced in typing up this raugh draft, and that is if we want to do it. Well, I gue�s we need to ha�e some art and somebody �ompetent in font work and art creation for this ad�ertisir�g thing. I guess it'S not necessary. We could just hand out a typed piece of pap�r that looks iike this too. To the kids in the schools or the teachers, but the one that Mesa had has lo�as on it, like the T�wn of Fauntain Hills lago here, and big, artistic, billowy lettering and that kind of thing, which I am not able to do at all. Would we need to create that? Or could somebody at the Town do the crea#ian of the final documer�t with the flowery lago stufF? PREST�N: Can't guarantee it will be flawery, but yeah, so if we can get all the �ontents, I'm sure somebody that we �an get 5omebfldy to be able to create the actual coZlateral f�r it. It's more the cantent, the prompts, and then the executian a5 well. But yeah, as far a5 the creati�e we c�uld help with that. YQDER: Excellent. That's what I was hoping. Well, in any ca5e, #hen I sur� would like snme help, if somebady would like to look o�er what I capied aut and modified for Fauntain Hitl's interest, I can send you an email copy of it, and we could present it next meeting. I�auld take one or two o�her people. KLINE: I'd be glad to help aut with tha#. YUDER: AlI right. Bonriie, thank you. Anybody else`? GALLA�HER: Are you laaking for edits or suggestians`? YQDER: Yes. PREST�N: So yeah, the w�rkgroups are. 5o it's when we want t❑ get together work nn something together. We can't ha�e a group bigger than three, right? Because ihat would he a quarum, And so it's a graup size that's allowed to get tagether and discuss agenda items and things that the commission would like to accomplish.

Bk]RtiS: Veah, I prepared a bit of a mema, I guess, if yau will, just to kind of spit balling some ideas on what the commission might consider going forward. I don't know what's in our tane and whai isn't some of it may be out of aur purview, hut I did find it interestin� that of the ad�isory commis5ions to the council, this is the only ❑ne with a �ision and a inission stateinent that at least was included on the tawn website. So I included that in this. But you know, some of the things that ha�e been talked about in the past, and some ❑f it is prabably significant. I guess one af the things that would be a significant project would be an attempt ta update the tawn's history, ar take the boak Rising abo�e the Rest. It was done by �11an Cruickshank Jerry Miles and Jean Lin�er. And that ends in 2fl 1� so if you get anather I 5 years to put on it, and in kind of perusing it, I thinl� there might be same apportunities to add to it to e�en in the pre�ious years. 5a and again, that's a sigrtificant project, and I think we need to �ind out what the towns or the �ouncil's interest in pursuing that might be before we get too deeply in�ol�ed. I had heard there wa5 some interest there, hut things ha�e changed. I just, you knaw, and [ don't know if this is a workgroup or just kind of questions I�a�e as far as our now that we're going to be inval�ed in the artwork. Is wondering, are there specific guidelines for the review and consideration o# the pubiic art that i5 presented that we need to be familiar with or aware of or included in aur ir�format�on? YUDER: Is that the next item an �he abenda, when we're talking about the art? BURNS: Qkay. PRESTON: That's correct. �"hat's the next item on the agenda. GALLAGHER: Question about the history update is that baok the ane that has sectians by ea�h af the mayors �f the town Rising Above the Rest? gVRNS: No. GALLAG��ER: I've read so many boaks recently about Fountain Hills, that it's hard for me ta remember whi�h was which. BLTRNS: Yeah, it's and it's hard t� direct yau to it be�ause there aren't that many copies out there. But it's... Y�DER: It is on, excuse me, I don't mean t❑ interrupt. It is a�ailable. I think on Amazon. I laoked today, belie�e it or nvt. BLTRNS: Oh, really. Y��ER: Well, I saw it listed there. I didn't actually see the "Purchase Now" button, but - 12 - https:llatter.ai HISTURY f1NI] CUL'FURE ADVI50RY CQMM15510N JANllARY 8, Z025, VERBATIM MEE.TING MINUTES BURNS: That is samething that I in same dis�ussions with same �eopie, including Brent Cruikshank, Alan's s�n, need to clarify who has the rights to it. And you know what we need to do with them, 5o in working with them. Sa, I was also w�ndering about, are there cnmmunity acti�ities that the cornmissian c�uld be in�ol�ed in that would help get the word out to the community and get input from the community and some histarical stuff. And I'm thinking in terms like you've �ot the upcoming Expo here in the next cauple of week5. Now that's probably too short a notice to put something together for that. But, yau know, possibly the spring art fair, and I'm not sure what it takes in dealin� with the chamber on that, for getting possible booths set up there if we wanted ta go that direction. And you kn�w, what are other optians like, you know, e�ents like St Patrick's Day or things like that might be... and you guys might know this, you know, just you know, is there a plan ta rededicate the Presidential statues now that they're pretty much in place o�ver there, and what �an w� da to help on i If there is that's a really nice setup. I knflw it's not tQtally complete with 5till some fencing around, buC the statues are back in pla�e, and it's a really nice Aamada. Sa, these are just some of my thoughts. I don't know if there are any work groups to l�e set up with this, with it, for any of this at this poin#, but this is kind af and I don't know again, what, what's within our pur�iew to go? I mean, yau know, do we need to hear back from the Cauncil on sorr�e of this or not. YQDER: Thank you, B�b, that's really great, in furtherance of our cau5e, good ideas for us t� think an, maybe come back ta the next meeting. PRE5T4N: Yeah, and we can address that at Future Agenda Items as well, and we'll ha�e some more to talk about durin� that agenda item, in additian to what kind of what Bob said already. But yeah, about the "Rising Abo�e the Rest". That's something we could discuss later. That's been brought up hefore, and I know the bigges# issue is copyright and wha has the rights ta it. I know the town daes not ha�e rights to it, for example. 50, we wouldn't be able ta touch it without, you know, this commission wouldn't be able to do anythin� with that until that's figured ou#. SIJ�tNS: Brett may I�a�e those rights, nr he may knaw, or Jean Lindser may be able to clarify that because she was in�alved in the product and the proje�t administrati�ely, originally. So those are same things there. I think I asked Brent and didn't get a clear answer. So, i don't know. PRE5TQIV: Qkay, and yeah, what I can do as well as take some of these ic�eas back and see if there's any#hing that sticks that the C�uncil or anybody is in#erested in. It'S alsa what you guys are interested in as well. If you want ta create a workgroup, basically, i - 13 - https:llatter.ai HISTO�Y AND CllLTURE 11I]VISDRY CQMM[SSIQN JANUARY 8, 2�25, VERBATIM MEETING MII�UTES �an let you know whether or nat it will geE anywh�re or not. 6ut it's more kind of you guys to try to find that directian. Again, that's something [ think we'll talk about under the future agenda ite�ns as well if nobody has anything really �pecifi� to nail down for a workgroup at the inoment. KLINE: I just had a couple of comments. 1 like all three of your ideas, Bob. For the b�oth, I w�s thinking maybe that'S 5omething that couid be shared with the Ri�er of I,ime Mu�euYn. Also, for the capyright, it may be the Ri�er of Time Museum on that as weil. I'm nat sure if that was put together as part of the Historical Society, or if that was done as part of the newspaper publishing company. YQL7ER: Thank you, Bonnie, you know yaur �omYnent made me tlaink, is there any way that we could link oursel�es with the Ri�er of Time? I� it part of the town`? GALLAGHER: No, I asked that question today at the meeting, and they said they are separate entities. YQDER: I think that answers my quesiion. 1 was hoping maybe we could ha�e direct dialog with them through aur emaiis and discussians or releases, as they wauld us, but no. PRESTQN: Correct as a commissior� as a whale, no, maybe as a separate wark group where you're trying to get information or share information, that'd be a different story. Sut as a tawn cammissifln, there wouldn't be a dire�t link there, But they, I know, I think Da�id'S w�rked on trying to get presentations from the Ri�er of Time and things like that, as far as dialog, and then vice �ersa as well. So it's not that there �an't be one. It's just that as a whole commission, official �apa�ity wouldn't he where we wauld go with that. LQPUSZANSKI: We did ha�e Cherie Kass come as a presenter, and I can send yau the minutes where you can at least se� what she had shared with the commissioners, and I think it was probably two years aga. I# was pretty early on, Da�id had set it up so that we could ha�e her come and present some information, but I'm happy to send that out to you, and we could do that. GALLAGHER: Alon� thase same lines. There's another separate entity that'S gettirag a lot aFattention right now, and that's the Dark Sky Disco�ery Center. Is there anythin� that the tawn can do to en�oura�e those tw� organizations ta wark more �ooperati�ely`? PR�;ST�N: Can't discuss that too mu�h now, it's nat an ag�nda item or anything. We're j ust look ing at future work graups. - 14 - htt�s:llotter.ai HISTDRYAND CULTURE ADVIS�RY CdMM155[�N JANUARY 8, 2�25, VERBATIM MEETING M1N[1TE5 YflDER: Sa we could, then, let me ask confirmation, we could �reate a workgraup, possibly in the �amin� meetings, that ha5 the specific duty ar respon5ibility, or whate�er, to go t❑ the Ai��r of Time and be liaisons, a�t with them on. .... PREST[3N: You wauld want a specific diz-e�tion, right? You'd want an end goal for a workgroup. Yau need to ha�ve an end goal in mind. What is, the purpase? Are you getting infonnation ta create a pamphlet? VVhat do you want to do with those con�ersations? 1 think there wauld ha�e to be more questians and what the work �raup would be based on. Tt couldn't just be a w�rkgroup wouldn't jusi be a standing con�ersatian, As far as sharing information, it would need to be m�re goal-based, okay, outcome-based, I guess. YUDER: Dutcome-based. So if I read an the paper that the Ri�er of Time was going to have a specia] speaker ❑n South��estern �{istory or a special display for the �pringtiin� of 2fl25, that would he really pertinent ta aur group. Could we make our w�rkgroup? You said it's outcome-based. Could it`? C:�uld a work group he created, I think the �erb is liaise, to work with them in specific on that one project and nothing el�e. And then as saon as that's o�er with, it's done. L�PU52ANSKI: So you ha�e to understand #hat they are a nanprofit, and they d❑ charge fees. 5o far their presentations, #hat is something they're earning an in�oYne for their entity. If you want to attend and then come back and report it under Reports from Cammissioners, you �ould do so, or we can share that information, and anyane cauld go, �ut we can't partner up and say that we're going to promote something that is based on a fee with that. �kay, LEPDER: I had one idea that I was originally working with public art on was to put QR codes that would lead to the informatian abaut the art pieces that we had been in dis�ussi�n with as it ab�i�usly, they kind of decided to �hift publi� art, but I w�uld like to at 5ome point readdress that cancept and being able to ha�e it. I mean, I think the tour is great, but I think that e�erybady's going ta be able to ha�e time ta go throu�h a tour, and as they just happen ta be walking around, I think it would be a great thing for e�erybody to be able to take out their phone and s�an a QR code and find the informatian, the name and the maker and the what it's made af, and all that stuff just right there on the spat. YODER: �kay, can I use this point to mo�e to the possible action on public art? PItESTQN: Yes, if we're dnne with the warkgroup discussion. Did you guys want ta establish a warkgraup on anything befare we mo�e past this item? - 15 - httos:llotter.ai HISTflRY I1NU CllL'I'URE ADViSflRY CQMME55lDi� JANUARY 8, 2425, VERBATIM MEETiNG MINUTES Y�DER: I think we shfluld. PRESTQN: Because public art will not be at the same le�el of discussion. There wan't �� a warkgroup creation based on that. So if you wanted to do a workgroup, you would ha�e to stay under the current item. YODER: I would defer to my fellow Cammissianers, but I wnu�d say maybe we ��uld think about that and maybe create a new w�rkgroup next meeting unl�ss there's urgency. EURNS: I'm thinking, if you gi�e us a littie inore information on some of the stuff we discussed here, maybe we cauld come up next m�eting or some time and say, Okay, let's, you know, be a little inore focused on what a group, workgr�up might do. PREST�N: Sure. Yeah, I think e�erybody cauld take that ba�k. I can take that back as well and inaybe came up with some solid ideas, but you guys haVe some as wel1, as far as a fa�used workgroup that we could do to maybe take on same of these ideas that we'�e had here today if you'd like to do it that way. Again, it's your cali, thaugh, what you want to da. KLIN E: I just wanted to mention that at one time there were QR cades an same of the art, but that was 2d years agn. LEPQER: Yep, I ac:tually ha�e all that information. I sp�ke with the gentleman who helped create it, and I got al1 of his information, so I ha�e all that. I ha�e pricing an the metal plaque and everything. S� yeah. Y�DER: �kay, ma�ing on ta the next agenda item �'ublic Art. So we j ust had Toni dis�uss the fact that she's �ery supporti�e and s❑ am I of the idea of putting QR codes on a�l of the public art here in Fountain Hills. VVhat other kind of comtnents are we coming on with here Ryan? PREST�N: Yes, I'll take this ane. So ihi5 ane is mainly on here, because that is now a duty that seems like may fall to this commission. And by duty, I mean in the pa�t, and we may be able t❑ ha�e Toni speak to this a litt]e m�re, as I belie�e yau were on, an that. 50 if anyb�dy do�sn't know, when a de�elaper builds samething here in town, there's certain things they ha�e to do, �erkain fees. They ha�e t� pay certain de�elopment fees, and part of that development fee includes a public art fee. And the de��loper will ha�e a�hoice. �l'hey can pay a percentage to the town that goes into a fund specifi�ally for that, or they can they can donate or th�y can create a piece of public art. Now m�re so on the side of' if they decide to donat� a piece of public art that has ta be kind of talked ai�out, discussed, �oted �n, and an apinion sent to the town from a commission, and that will b� this commission at that point. And I think that's mainly what we wanted to bring up here. - 16 - https:llotter.ai HISi�RY IIND CULTURE ADVISdRY CflMM155IQ1� JANlJ�1RY 8, 2025, VERBATIM MEETiNG M[NllTES More than anything, we do not ha�e an iteYn far that at the mainen� that is something that will be an �ngoing agenda item. In case something does �ome up, it's already on the agenda, and that's something we can dis�uss as a cammission, And if I missed anything, I think Patti can help ine with that as well. And like I said, if Toni, if you want ta add anything on that pr�cess based on the fact that you ha�e been in that pracess, LEP�ER: Realiy, you hit it pretty spat on. I mean, there are, there i5 specific regulations and Stuff. I knaw there was a wh�le rale kind af infannation shee# that said I'�e got, like, I'�e �ot al] kind5 of stuff'that I'�e acquired, and that keeps getting handed to me lately, in regards to the public art. I'm �oin� to take it one day at a time right now because I d�n't know that much. I.just kind o£ started when it sort of started. PREST�N: Yep. And to gi�e yau an example, I belie�e if anybody's been by Fauntain Park, the pump the pump house wall, you see the pieces of art on there. So those were, those were submitted to the Public Art Cammittee. They were ahle to narrow it dawn ta what they thaught was best, and they were able to put that in a package and present it #a the Town Coun�il, and then the Town Council �ated vn the appro�al af that art that'S now up an the wall there. So that's kind of an example of what that has, of wha# they'�e done before, in the past, recentiy, in recent histary. If anybody has any questions on that, I �ould try ta answer them, or I can come back to you with an an5wer on that, and I think that's something Ba}a you mentioned before, as well as, what'S the criteria? What do we do`? How do we �ote an that? And I think that's something we de�eloped. I�DPLISZA:VSKi: To speak �o that we als� ha�e updat�d the Pub�ic Art Master Plan, working with de�el�pment, because ther�'s such a partnership with that, so that d�cumentation has just been appro�ed, I think about two inonths agv, i�y the Town Council. So that is aisa the information I can share with you. It is a public re�ord. And sa when de�elapers do c�me in and they get their permit, they ha�e to acknowledge that they are aware that there's a public art requirement. Then I contact them, I pro�ide them ��ith the information, and that's where they make their choice. Will they be doing a percentage, ❑r will they be daing the piece itself`? And they ha�e to go thraugh �ery specific criteria, where the artists themsel�es ha�e to pro�ide a scope af work, and it ha5 to be really cleared out. You know, it just can't be a little sketch or something. It's �ery if you've seen the Ha�enly, which is now Pillar o�er there, that was their puhlic art pie�e, right on the corner by the roundabout. So, it takes months, and 5a we asked that these de�elopers stay on top of it, because if they want to get their occupan�y permit, that requirem�nt has to be met prior ta thetn getting that so did a little ba�kgraund. - 17 - httt�s:llotter.ai HIST�RY �1lVI] CULT�iRE ADVISDi�Y �OMMISSI�N ]ANUARY 8, 2025, VER8�1T[M MEET[NG MINUTES GAI�LAGHER: For clarifi�ation.

YaDER: �kay, ma�ing along then Future Agenda iteins and Speakers. Does anyone ha�e anything they would like to add ta the Future Agenda? PRESTQN: Yeah, I'll,jump in here. I know. So Bob's reached out and you ha�e samething written up as well that we didn't include, I belie�e here, or that is wha� we read a bit ❑f. But as far as looking at the mission staiement, Iaakin� at the role of this cflmmission, with alI the new commissioners, is there ariy changes you want to make t❑ that`? Is there any specifics yau want to add to that? And I do, I think I said, like, Bob 5ubmitted something an that �ine. So I think we could that's something, if you wanted to, we can add as a future agenda iiem to take anather look at. BURNS: I just copied off what was on the website in what I presented t� you there. So if you want to present ba�k and say, "Hey, da you want to make any changes to this" that's a diff`erent discussian. LQPI]SzANSKI: Perfect, and we can do that. I received that after I had already posted the agenda, so we can add it ta the next I alsa brought ta Ryan's attention. We had Policies and Pro�edures and guidelines that pre�ious commissioners had done ba�k in 23 that were appro�ed by them and �oted upon. So I will share that information as well, and if yau see any changes that you want to make an any of that dacumentation too, we can do that. So we'll put that on as a future agenda item. YODER: Very gaad. Thank you. Yes, any other questions ar comments? PRESTQN; Yep, ['ll jump in again. .And I be�ieve there's been a request far kind of an update on the �ideo series that Debbie Clason �ame in and spoke ab�ut hriefly, and that is being run through aur Econvmic Develapment Department. I belie�e Amanda Jacabs is available to �ome in and speak. And I think Patti has that informati�n. LaPLISZANSKI: Yes, she will be coming in to present on March 5, so I ju�t gat that confirmation fram her. It would be helpful if you ha�e any questian5 or Specific infarmatiart that yau're looking far and emaii me with those questions, �r topics that yvu're laoking for her to address, that will be helpful for her to put her presentatian together. PRESTON: As a reminder she spnke on the �ideo series that they were doing of just different parts of town history, whether it's the history of the greening of the fountain, - 18 - htf�s:llotter.ai HISTORYANU CULTURE ADVIS�RY COMM15510N JANUARY 8, 2025, VERBATIM MEETING MINUTES whether it's the public art history in town. 5o that'S the �ideo series �hat has been hased �n that as well. YQDER: All right, �ery goad. Then, if there's... All ri�ht, QBST-DWDRKiS: Where would it be:� Where would we put a questian about �'arks and Rec and what's happening with the plaque� that was aur very initia� job or that we had... PRESTQII: Sa when Ke�in braught that up last meeting, I belie�e you guys spoke in length, a]ittle bit about that la5t meeting that he now has aIl the information. It's m�re of a timing and budget issue, �nd it's, still there, it's still on the docket. It's still being done and worked on. It's just nothing's ail that quick. It is 5till in the foresight �f e�erybady. He 5till has it on his list of things to get done and to finalize. �BST-DWORKIS: Yeah, he had talked, but he had mentioned that he was going to get back to us what the verbiage was going to be vn each of the plaques and 5tuff. I thought that we'd ha�e that already. Since it's been almost tw❑ years, PI�EST�N: The �erhiage, that is what you guys had submitted, ini#iaily, the �erbiage, correct? QBST-DWORKiS: The �erbiage, the design of them, as Toni mentioned the QR codes added to it. So I'm just wandering what's happening. Because, like I said, it's been almnst �wo years. PRESTQN: Right and, like I said, it's something that is still bein�; acti�ely worked on. It's not 1�eing worked an e�ery day. [t is something we ha�e, and we're �lad you were able to put it tagether. Howe�er, just something with the staff, time, and res�urces we ha�e on hand, we ha�en't been able ta push thraugh the finish line quite yet. BllRI�IS: I think maybe, or my impression of what Susan might be Iooking f�r here is be�ause you're right the impression I got fram Ke�in was that was a proje�t in pragress. And I think maybe what Susan's laokin� for is kind nf an update on where it's at and what kind of responsihility still ini�ht fall on us before that goes to the coun�il or whate�er for appra�a�. PRESTOhT: Yep, and this may be one that wauldn't e�en �o to the �auncil for appro�al. This is the one where the Community Ser�ices Director wou2d be able to update those signs within the park, and �hat i5 what we're looking at here, just to update the sign�. F�erybady, including all the staff, would iike ta see those signs updated with the work that yau guys did. And it is a wark in progress. I can try ta get some mare information anc� narrow down maybe a bet#er timeline for you. - 19 - https:llotter.ai HISTORY AND CULTURE ADVISORY CdMMISSidN jAN[]ARY 8, 2�25, VERBATIM MEETING MINUTES KLINE: So I ha�e, I'm not sure where this fits in the agenda, but thinking abaut the President's statues that Bob mentioned, I know the President's Day in February is way too soon t� get something put together, but the next logical date to me wauld be th� Fourth of July and as part vf the festivities since it'S the President's Independence Day, is it? PREST�N: Then, is that an item we want ta add to the agenda next m+onth of discussing a potential dedication that you mentioned for the statutes af rededication? BLTRNS: Yeah, that was just a question whether ar nat you're going to do Yeah, and that's, PRESTQN: That's something I get back to you an if we'd like to dis�us5 that. We �an add it to the next month's agenda. KLrNE: Qkay, yeah, be interesting. Thanks. L�PU5ZAN5KY: T would like to go ba�k to 5usan's re�uest about the signage because I know that Ke�in had addre5sed it, and I did f nd it. It's on page l 6 and part flf the process that he's going through is that we ha�e a lat af ditferent signage that we're also warking to atta�h to Centennial Pa�ilion. We ha�e some trailheads and things like that. Sa he did, he did apolagize for n�t being able t❑ ha�e that update, you know, sooner with all of that. But it is that we are short-staffed, and so it is a matter of creating that marketing and kind of ihe whole yaur infarmation is so �aluable, we're using it. We ha�� it, �ut it's a matter of now it's the design of each of these signs and ag�inst material that we're going to be at�le to u5e. We'�e had some difficulty with one of our vendors that we're tryin� to do s�me replacements fr�r signage o�er at Fauntain Park that I've been dealing with. And so it's �ust one of those supply and demand right now, but it is something that is on the forefront of everyane's warklaad. It's just a matter ❑f getting that taken care of. 50, I do want to let you know it was in the minutes from No�ember., UBST-DWURKIS: Yeah, I reread what he :�aid, and it was a lot af gibberish to me. YUDER: In furtheran�e of a p�int that Bonnie made, I want us to alsa maybe try to keep in the back �f aur minds not �ery 1Qng because it takes a long time ta get samething done, you know, just the way things flow. Eut nex# year is the Nation's 254th �irthday an July 4, and I was here on the Bicentennial when we were became ZQ� years old, and that was something else. What we did at the fountain and so here we are taday, a new, reiati�ely n�w commission, and I think we need to talk about that in the �oming meetirtgs and see if we can play a rate in some way on July 4, 2426.
