SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In keeping with the City of McCall Public Art Policies adopted by City Council June 29, 2012, a volunteer selection committee reviewed qualifications from twenty-eight (28) professional
artists from Idaho and its contiguous states for commission of artwork to be integrated within the interior of the Library Expansion Project. Two finalist artists were selected for
final consideration and community members were invited to provide comment on their artwork concepts via online survey and in-person outreach. After extensive review and discussion,
the artwork selection committee recommended Joe Thurston of Site Specific LLC for the project based upon his experience in creating integrated artworks, the quality of his work, and
public input. This recommendation was then reviewed and unanimously endorsed by the Library Board of Directors and McCall Public Art Advisory Committee.
The attached Artwork Commission Agreement has been reviewed by the artist and the City Attorney. Also attached are the McCall Library Integrated Artwork Call to Artists, artwork selection
process flow chart, public outreach results summary, and submitted preliminary design concept.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Artwork Commission Agreement with Site Specific LLC and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
