process. This is a new project and the first time to place art in the shelters and inside
the buses. Ms. Martin recommended selecting artists for about half the locations and
to have a second call once artists see the art installed at the sites. Ms Martin shared
the eleven finalists and three alternates as scored by the Board and selection
committee before the meeting. The Board asked about the logistics and goals of the
project. There were suggestions for the next call, specifically about the quality of
images, that the written materials shouldn’t be weighted as much as the imagery and
asked if a template can be used.
Ms. Shuff moved to accept the 11 finalists and 3 alternates as presented and provide
a second call for the remainder once these selections are in place.
Ms. Barnes seconded
Unanimously approved, except Ms. Chase who didn’t participate in the scoring

E)ASPHALT ART MURAL PROJECT OVERVIEW
Anna Kelso from FC Moves was present to share an update of the current state of last
year’s murals and the maintenance schedule. The program will be repainting the first
three murals this fall. There is funding to repaint once, and future maintenance will be
based on future funding. There were concerns about the quick deterioration and the
murals making an area seem rundown. The Board brought up the possibility of using
more long-term materials to meet some of the same goals. Ms. Kelso shared that
paint and plastic delineators are a lot quicker and cheaper, and due to flood planes in
many intersections, the temporary measures are typically more successful.
F)ASPHALT ART MURAL DESIGN REVIEW
Ms. Martin presented the next mural design proposal to be painted in the Alta Vista
Neighborhood through the FC Moves Asphalt Art Mural Project. There were questions
about the timing of the mural and if weather can delay installations. Ms. Kelso shared
if temperatures are below 55 degrees the install can be delayed to the next weekend.
Due to the grant cycle and the length time that it been in development with the
neighborhood, it isn’t ideal to move to spring. The Board brought up representation of
