July meeting. He met with the utility directors and downtown officials who were supportive of the
idea. Staff discussed hiring a design firm to create a master plan for the College Avenue corridor
from the Poudre River to Mulberry street. After discussion by the board, it was decided to have
Mr. Powers do more research on the idea and come back to the board at the September meeting.

VII. Harmony Library
The construction is proceeding on schedule. The project is a joint effort between the City of
Fort Collins and the State of Colorado. Ms. Sternlieb reported that there are two art projects at
Front Range Community College. The City's funds will be combined with the State's Art in Public
Places money for an art piece in the main entryway of the library. Ms. Martin reported that the
process will be that a combined committee of City and State officials will make a recommendation
of one art piece to the Art in Public Places Board. If recommended by the board, the piece will go
to City Council for final approval.
VIII. Staff reports
Ms. Martin reported projects that will be scheduled at upcoming meetings. She reported that
Elaine Calazari dropped out of the Timberline Competition. The board decided to invite the next
finalist, J. Gunnar Anderson to submit a proposal at the September meeting. Ms. Martin informed
the board that they were invited to a joint meeting of the staff and boards of other Art in Public
Places programs in Loveland, Greeley, and Longmont the evening of September 25. It was the
consensus of the board to attend this informative and informal meeting. Mr. Powers discussed the
Art in Public Places reauthorization was coming next April and talked to the board of possible
public outreach strategies the board might want to consider.
D{. Other business
Ms. Dale questioned the Timberline project in light of the current flood and the site

will meet in the Lincoln Center south parking lot at 11 a.m. and proceed to the site from there.
