Staff will update the group on Council's plans to replace the Public Art Commission with an Arts and Culture Commission. Some residents have expressed concerned about Council's plans to include non-Golden residents on the new board (since they will be empowered to spend Golden taxpayer money). This is briefly mentioned on p. 2 of the meeting packet.
PAC will review a Request for Proposals regarding artwork for Ulysses Park. The memo on this topic begins on p. 12 of the meeting packet. They have budgeted $92,000 for this project.
They will discuss proposals for maintaining the public art collection. The proposals cover the next four years, and will total approximately $23,000. Information begins on p. 16 of the meeting packet.
The Hal Shelton mural that hangs on the second floor of the community center belongs to the Golden Civic Foundation and is on long-term loan to the City. The mural needs some restoration work (~$4500) and they may choose to change the front covering to non-glare plexiglass (~$10,000). This information begins on p. 20 of the meeting packet.
PAC chose a giant shovel and pickaxe as the public art installation for New Loveland Mine Park (map - budget $53K). The neighbors have objected to the choice. The two groups met at the park to discuss placement of the installation and concluded that the pieces should be placed for maximum visibility from the trail but minimum visibility from the neighbors' houses.
The contract for Clear Creek Trail artwork (map - budget: $20K) is currently being reviewed. PAC and Parks Dept staff met at DeLong Park (map - budget: $75K) to discuss placement of that artwork. They decided to purchase a stylized "tree" and a bench by the same artist. See p. 4 of the meeting packet for more information.
A meeting was scheduled yesterday at the "Triangle" (the piece of city-owned land south of Domino's Pizza) to discuss the placement of proposed artwork at that spot (map - budget: $75K).
They are commissioning an artistic bike corral "for the entrance" (not sure where that is or the budget for this project). See item D of p. 4 of the meeting packet. Proposals are due next week.
For more information on any of these topics, see the meeting packet.
