Economic Development Authority Page 2 <br />July 15, 2019 <br />----------------------------- <br />5. Open Forum <br /> <br /> No one appeared for Open Forum. <br /> <br />6. Public Hearings <br /> <br /> There were no public hearing items. <br /> <br />7.1 Public Art RFP <br /> <br />Ms. Othoudt presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ovall made a note that sections 5L and 5M of the proposal should <br />read 2020. <br /> <br />Commissioner Blesener made the following suggested corrections: <br /> <br /> Page 3, Item 1, eliminate the word “sculpture” to illustrate that any type of art <br />medium would be welcomed. Perhaps it could be referred to as an “art <br />installation”. <br /> Page 3, Item 4 the word “assumption” should be plural at the end of the first <br />paragraph. <br /> Page 5, Section B, subsection d states “Provide an explanation of how the public <br />survey influenced your choice of project submittal”. He suggested the survey be <br />included as part of the RFP for those who were not familiar with it. <br /> Page 5, Section D, references Section 2. This seems vague. Ms. Othoudt <br />responded that it was likely this was in reference to Section 3, Part 2 instead and <br />she will make the correction. <br /> Page 5, Section G mentions the total cost of the project but this cost does not <br />include future maintenance costs. This should be clarified. <br /> <br />Moved by Commissioner Westgaard and seconded by Commissioner Ovall to <br />approve the Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Public Art Installation. <br /> <br />Motion carried 5-0. <br /> <br />7.2 Beautification Award <br /> <br />Ms. Eddy presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Ryan Hardin and Tamara Ackerman, representatives from the Beautification <br />Committee, spoke about their nomination of The Bank of Elk River – School Street <br />Office at 846 Freeport Ave for the Beautification Award. <br /> <br />Moved by Commissioner Blesener and seconded by Commissioner <br />Christianson to approve the recommendation from the Beautification <br />Committee and recognize the recipient. <br /> <br />
