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