Additionally, Josh shared that he attended the April 22nd Multipurpose Facility <br />Advisory Commission meeting and was advised to bring Carey to FT Center prior to securing a specific <br />location for the piece. Otherwise, the commission was in favor of "Where Energy Flows" within their <br />facility. Josh will meet with Carey on June 18th to visit FT Center to determine the best location for the <br />piece. <br /> <br />Jennifer inquired about if additional funding is secured, could Carey increase the size of "Where Energy <br />Flows". <br /> <br />Josh advised that he confirmed with CMAB that additional funds could be used for the project. He will <br />connect with Carey to see if she would be willing to increase the size for an additional cost. <br /> <br />Page 2 of 4
