V. Art Donation
Artist Jonathan Hubbard approached staff about donating a piece to the Lincoln Center. Hubbard is currently
a MFA student at CSU. The board reviewed a maquette of the piece, a "futuristic seed pod", suspended by
concrete footers over grass. The final piece will be approximately 7'x7' and will be created out of mild steel,
beach rocks and stainless steel. Hubbard plans on documenting the construction and installation of the piece
for a research project. Lincoln Center has approved the piece for placement in the Terrace Sculpture
Garden.
Mr. Sherman motioned for the board to accept the donation from Jon Hubbard with consideration given to
the safety spacing of the pickets.
Ms. Dale seconded.
Approved unanimously.

VI. Homestead Park
Artist Kenny Schneider presented plans for Homestead Park with Jeff Lakey from Park Planning. The
proposed piece consists of one hundred (100) steel pipes of varying length, suspended by stainless steel
cable, to create a fence approximately sixty four (64) feet long. The concept of this interactive project is that
it becomes a musical instrument by dragging a stick along the pipes.
Ms. Dale motioned for the board to accept this proposal.
Ms. Gram seconded.
Approved unanimously.
VII. Traffic Operations Facility Proposal Review
Eight proposals were received for this project. After reviewing the proposal materials and slides, the board
moved to add James Haire to the Traffic Operations Facility Project team to work to develop an art piece for
the project.
Mr. Sherman motioned for the board to commission Mr. Haire with Cloyd Barnes as the alternate.
Ms. Gram seconded.
Approved unanimously.
