the Call to Artists. The selection committee will meet December 11, 2019 at 5:00 pm

selection committee includes Fallon Fereday (P&Z), Juta Geurtsen (ICA), Lynn
Lewinski (Library), Thea Belez (Artist), and Karla Eitel (PAAC).
• Public Art Plan [ACTION ITEM] - Staff reported that an RFP/RFQ for public art
planning services is being drafted and recommended that the committee consider
increasing the planning services budget to $24,000 which still allows for targeted
consultant selection but will likely result in more time committed to public
involvement. Staff also recommended that release of the RFP/RFQ for planning
services wait until after a finalist artist for the downtown project has been identified
because connection or collaboration with the downtown project public outreach may
create efficiencies.
