Various proposals include: Social services Commercial development Poudre RI for a Magnet/Charter school Larimer County for jails/offices CSU - expansion Library/Recreation Space/Youth Center Interim use could create recreation usage for classes/offices City Screening Process for Art accepted by City The Board discussed the sculpture placed in Old Town Square.

Staff will ask Marty Heffernan for clarification as to what is public and what is private. The Board discussed a letter from Bruce Taylor re: choosing of the Senior Center sculpture. Concerns expressed by Bill Cordiner were: -limited notification to Larimer County residents -nothing in Ft Collins papers -there was to be an open house on 9/14 to look at vite and review plans, however the deadline was three weeks from then -Artists were asked for maquettes -money of $15,000 won't buy type of sculpture available Ellen Martin replied that she saw notification in Coloradoan and Cable TV. It was her understanding that press releases were sent out in Larimer County. She also felt that maquettes are optional. The Board would like to make Senior Center staff aware of concerns and if there are problems, see if dates can be postponed. Issues are fairness and equity. Jennifer Beccard moved that Ellen Martin contact Senior Center re: issues and relate information to Karen Warren. Jane Nevrivy seconded. Passed unanimously. VII. Review of APP ordinance The Board reviewed the APP guidelines and Ordinance that will be going to Council at the worksession on October 25th. There was discussion as to whether to take the ordinance establishing a policy and an ordinance providing for guidelines for accepting art as a package or as separate items. After discussion the consensus was to take them in as a package. The Board also will remind Council that until such a policy is in effect, no art, with the exception of the Senior Center project and the Lincoln Center projects, will be accepted by the City.

COLLINS MUSEUM REPORT CULTURAL RESOURCES BOARD SEPTEMBER 28, 1994 GRANTS The news is that the museum was awarded a $25,000 Institute of Museum Services (IMS) conservation project grant to hire a conservator to train our volunteers and staff in collections handling and to purchase new storage units. Karin Eberhart is the project director. The grant required matching funds which were leveraged from the $50,000 city appropriation for the Trolley Car Barn. The museum did not receive the highly competitive IMS General Operating Support grant. The staff is reviewing it and working on upgrading our application for the next round of applicants. SHOP Michael Banning attended the Denver Merchandising Mart to begin Christmas Shopping for the upcoming holiday season. The museum shop also participated in the New West Fest and Environmental Fair as a vendor. These festival events have proven to be an effective means of promoting both the museum and the fact that we now have a museum shop. In addition, there is a Colorado Authors Booksigning scheduled for November 12 with six authors. PROGRAMS The museum has combined our Wednesday Night at the Museum Adult Programming series with the Fort Collins Historical Society's evening programs. Upcoming programs include Changes Close to Home: How Fort Collins has evolved in the past twenty years by Ken Waido on Oct. 19, and How Water Changed the West by Brian Werner on Oct. 26th.
