• PUBLIC ART PROJECTS
• Lardo Bridge
o Review of public input: Staff presented the results of the public input
online survey, week long display at Barn Owl Books and open house
event comments. A total of 166 people completed surveys. 46%
preferred the "Seasons" sculpture design and 54% preferred the "Fish"
sculpture design option. Many of the open-ended comments noted that
both designs were attractive. The volunteer Public Art Selection
Committee (Theresa Burkes, Mark Wasdahl, Heather Susemihl, Tom
Harris and Sue Dixon) recommends selection of the "Seasons" design
option siting that its form better suits the bridge design and is more
timeless.

Dave made a motion, and Sue seconded, to recommend Susan
Madacsi's "Seasons" sculpture design option to City Council for
approval. All members voted "aye" and the motion passed.

"Four Seasons — Full Circle" proposal, and 5% preferred Pete Goldlust's

Committee (Karla Eitel, Wayne Ruemmele, Fallon Fereday, Juta
Geurtsen, and Thea Belecz) recommends selection of CJ Rench's

and interactive attraction to the center of downtown.
