Approved 5-0. Report from Website Subcommittee: Nelson requested assistance in designing advertisements for the website. Keranen committed to helping design the advertisements. Karr noted that the subcommittee should consider what the deadlines are for submitting inserts into orientation packets. Keranen agreed to look into this. Nelson noted that the University has student involvement and volunteer fairs at the beginning of semesters which would be ideal for promoting the website and calendar. Report from Grant ProQramminQ Subcommittee: Keranen referred to the application forms with corrections made that was included in the meeting packet. Karr noted that the city personnel reviewed the forms and were satisfied with the content as presented without being given further instruction for desired changes to be made. Nelson pointed out a typo on the first page. Keranen asked if the blank lines provided were necessary, and the group agreed to keep them. Karr noted that the form would be posted on the website as well. Karr asked about the deadlines for the applications to be submitted. It was proposed to have applications received three or six months in advance. The group agreed to publicize the grant as soon as possible. The applications would be accepted immediately. Applications would be received and reviewed until funding was exhausted. Youth Advisory Commission July 25, 2007 Page 2 Karr agreed to send the press release to the commission members before it was submitted. Nelson agreed to draft a description of the grant program and possibly frequently asked questions. Karr suggested posting the applications both on the Iowa City website and the Youth Advisory Commission website. Nelson suggested having a contact person for the grant program, available to be contacted through the website. Keranen suggested Nelson. Nelson agreed to answer questions through the website through a "contact us" form. Parks and Recreation Master Plannina Process: Bailey asked the Youth Advisory Commission if there was interest in facilitating youth input in the master planning process of the Parks and Recreation department. Karr stated public input meetings could be scheduled similar to the past Youth Survey input session; and could be held at city hall as well as other public places more convenient for youth participation throughout the community. Keranen noted that speaking with classes in school could be an effective way of obtaining input. Keranen suggested producing a survey to be posted on the website, which could be drafted with the consultant. The commission as a whole expressed interest in being involved in the master planning process. Youth Summit: Correia was not present to discuss this item. Karr noted that when we consider goal setting for the next session hosting a youth summit could be considered. Keranen noted that during the last goal setting session the youth summit was stalled until the commission became more known in the community. Vacant Position: Ziegenhorn is leaving for college and resigning from her position effective August 1, 2007. No applications have yet been received for the vacant position of a 15-17 year old. Karr noted the position would be readvertised and the deadline for applications is September 12. Keranen will be facilitating a retreat for the Community Youth Leadership Program in August and will pass out applications then. Karr noted that representation from Regina High School, the alternative high school, and youth from other categories should also be considered in advertising the position.

LEE RECREATION CENTER APPROVED Members Present: Emily Martin, Emily Carter-Walsh, Mark Seabold, DaLayne Williamson, Patrick Carney, Terry Trueblood Members Absent: Rick Fosse Staff Present: Marcia Klingaman, Jeff Davidson, Others Present: Tom Awad CALL TO ORDER Seabold called the meeting to order at 3:30 PM. RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL Recommendation that Recognition of Art in Non-Public Spaces go to "Entasis" located at 226 Magowan. Motion passed 7:0. Request that Council present a certificate to the artist and to the property owner at the next Council meeting. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA None. CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES OF THE JUNE 28. 2007 MEETING MOTION: Seabold moved to approve the minutes as submitted; Martin seconded. The motion passed 7:0. UPDATE OF MURAL PROPOSAL BY TOM AWAD Tom Awad and Tony Carter have received written permission to paint a large mural on the wall next to the parking lot near St. Patrick's Parish Hall. He provided photos of the location as well as scale drawings. He delved into specifics regarding pricing for paint, scaffolding, and other materials. The mural site is approximately 3120 sq. ft. He also provided price estimates for projects of similar scale and style. He estimated that a fair price for a mural of this scale and detail of design is approximately $80,000; however, he is willing to negotiate this price. Awad's stylistic concept is Commemoration/Celebration/Education - specifically the education of children. Awad will be receiving some input from the church's youth group regarding design. Awad proposed October 28th as the completion date, which happens to fall on World Youth Day. He will require eleven weeks to complete the project. Committee members were concerned that this time frame was too tight and the budget too uncertain for this completion date; particularly as the artist and budget for the pool wall project have not been finalized. Martin suggested instead that perhaps October 28th could be the kick-off day for the painting. c:: Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee Minutes August 2, 2007 Page 2 Martin expressed concern that this site may be purchased and redeveloped in the short- term future. The longevity of the project is a concern for the entire committee, particularly due to the expense of the project. The committee recommended that Awad contact the Iowa Arts Council regarding grants and other funding opportunities. Awad indicated that prior to the next scheduled meeting he will contact the Iowa Arts Council regarding fundraising, check with the church regarding the site's longevity, and gather design input from the youth group. PRESENTATION OF A COMMUNITY INITIATED PUBLIC ART PROJECT BY MATTHEW MUNSTERMANN Deferred until next month. DISCUSSION REGARDING SELECTED ARTISTS FOR POOL WALL PROJECT The committee viewed the pool wall on the east side of the swimming area in the Recreation Center. The Committee reviewed the five finalists' submissions: 1. B.J. Katz. Art consists of colored and clear plate glass. Committee questioned whether lighting features should be incorporated and who would be required to pay for it. 2. Saxe & Patterson. Art consists of ceramic tile. Seabold commented that this artwork has grown on him since he first encountered it. 3. Maria Mijares. Artwork is sturdy. Lighting is less of an issue. 4. T.J. Moverg. Artwork is sculptural consisting of 3D and 2D elements. It was suggested that maintenance and cleaning may be difficult. It was also suggested that sturdiness may be an issue; particularly in a humid environment. 5. Bao Pham. Art consists of durable printed stainless steel or aluminum. His artwork is sparser than the other artists' and the committee would request that the entire pool wall be covered; if not entirely with art than at least painted. In further discussion, the committee noted their concern with the longevity, maintenance, and lighting of the artwork as well as the budget. The committee decided that the entire pool wall should be addressed by the artist. The artist should also detail how the artwork should be installed. The committee also agreed that the subject matter of the artwork be appropriate for the community at large. The committee recommended that the artwork not be too detailed so that it can be seen from the street. The committee will work to decide on an artist by November 1st. RECOGNITION OF PUBLIC ART IN PRIVATE PLACES - "ENTASIS" Recognized by the committee and approved. COMMITTEE TIME/UPDATES Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee Minutes August 2, 2007 Page 3 Seabold requested that the meeting time be permanently be moved to 3:00 pm. All present agreed that would not be a problem. ADJOURNMENT Seabold moved to adjourn; Carter-Walsh seconded. Meeting adjourned at 5:00 pm. Next meeting September 6.
