Nick Heimann with Active Modes of FC Moves was present to share more about the project. FC Moves received funding through a National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) grant to paint asphalt art murals in underserved communities in Fort Collins. It is not an APP project but since they will be on City property final mural designs need APP Board approval. Three murals will be painted this year with the NACTO funds. They will use this year as a pilot to use as a framework for an ongoing program. FC Moves/Neighborhood applicants will be selecting artists. APP will provide a list of pre-approved artists that can be hired to work as mentors, as needed. There were questions from the Board about the mural lifespans, ensuring quality of the artwork, avoiding polit ical messages, and the project’s community outreach. Regarding political messages, it was shared that there is another grant application underway for a community mural with the goal of voicing current social concerns. There was a discussion about leadership in a new project and needing to have a strong framework for success of the project. Ms. Hixon moved that the Board accept the FC Moves presentation, that the project will follow the APP process, and that the board recommends the Asphalt Art Project with the addition of the comments to create an appropriate framework for success. Ms. Chase seconded Unanimously approved 7. STAFF REPORT Ms. Martin shared highlights with the APP Board. The report will be emailed to the Board.
