and Barbara Nokes Kwader were present. Also present were City Planner Delta
James and Parks and Recreation Director Dennis Coyle.
• MINUTES APPROVAL
Alison motioned, Barbara seconded to approve the January 14, 2015 minutes.
Minutes were approved.
• GIFT ACCEPTANCE PROPOSAL
"Taking Flight" by Alisa Looney: Staff reported that negotiations continue with the
artist regarding the artist donation agreement. The artist is reluctant to accept an
agreement that waives the artist's rights according to the federal Visual Rights Act.
Staff reported that many municipal public art programs, including Boise, ask for these
rights to be waived so that the city can move the piece quickly, if necessary, without
obtaining the artist's approval first. Staff will continue to work with Alisa Looney to
see if the agreement can be established for the artwork donation.
• PUBLIC ART PROJECTS
Alpine Playhouse Plaza: Staff reported that the project artwork selection committee
has chosen three finalist artists (Matt Babcock of Seattle, WA, CJ Rench of Hood
River, OR, and Angelina Marino-Heidel of Portland, OR). These artists have been
invited to submit specific proposals for the project site. Proposals are due April 24,
2015. Public input will be sought on the proposals via an open house May 1 at Alpine
Playhouse, an online survey, press release to the Star News, and display at the
library. The selection committee will then review the input and proposals and make a
recommendations regarding the selected artist to the Public Art Advisory Committee
and City Council.
Art for Rotary Park: A grant request ($10,000) to the Idaho Commission on the Arts
is pending. Once notification of the grant award (or not) is received, a timeline and
budget for this project will be set.
Youth Arts — Hometown Arts: Cynthia and Alison explained the scope of the
Hometown Arts project that included high school students mentoring 2nd and 4th
grade students to create artworks in a variety of mediums. Photos will be taken of the
artworks and it is proposed to install full color self-adhesive vinyl photos of the
artworks in the bus shelters for one year or until the vinyl becomes damaged as
determined by the McCall Parks and Recreation Department.
Claire motioned, Bob seconded to recommend the bus shelter artwork project to City
Council for approval; the motion passed unanimously.
