Approval of minutes Mr. Linxwiler moved approval of the minutes Ms. Jane Liska-Smith seconded Approved unanimously IV. Process for artist pool Preliminary discussion was held to determine how the city would establish a pool of artists to work on APP projects in the $50,000 - $250,000 range. The board would like to see the length of the contract for the artists to coincide with the three year term of the APP program. The board would also like to wait on establishing limits on the number of artists in the pool until they see how many apply and the quality of the applicants. Staff will work with the Purchasing department and come back to the board with a rough draft of the RFP. Artists could be added to the list after it is established, possibly quarterly or every six months at a special meeting of the board. 417 West Magnolia • Fort Collins, CO 80521-2646 • (970) 221-6735 • FAX (970) 484-0424 V. Staff reports Ms. Martin updated the board regarding the status of the Bruce Taylor project. Agreements have been made with the property owners and the contract with the artist is still being negotiated. Mr. Taylor then spoke to the board in which he outlined some concerns he had so far with the project. Mr. Taylor expressed his feelings that staff had proceeded too slowly and that the draft contract he received was too lengthy and one sided towards protecting the interests of the City. Mr. Taylor suggested that the City adapt contracts and other documents from cities with successful APP programs. Staff reviewed the events to date and assured Mr. Taylor and the board that this was the first project of its kind and was being given the full attention needed to get the project completed. Staff will meet with Mr. Taylor on Friday to resolve the remaining points on the contract and expedite the construction of the artwork. Another update will be presented at the next meeting of the board. VI. APP timeline Ms. Martin distributed a timeline to the board which outlined what future projects are coming up. The timeline is meant to be a working document that will be updated at each meeting as needed. VII.
