V. Utility Projects
Ms. Martin, Ms. Cobert, and Mr. Powers made a presentation to the
Board to utilize available utility funds. The APP program has been
accumulating funds because of the legal requirements for the use of utility
money. Staff proposed using water utility funds for two water features: one
for the Xeriscape Garden in front of City Hall and one for Oak Street Plaza in
Old Town. Ms. Martin suggested a competitive RFP process to commission
an artist and distributed a draft of an RFP for the Board's review.

VI. Design Consultant Discussion
Ms. Martin explained the process the Board would use in discussing
the Design Consultants. The board started by listing the goals they have for
the APP art collection. Ms. Martin and Ms. Colbert presented a Power Point
presentation to show completed and current design consultant projects,
outline our current process, compare other programs, and the pros and cons
of our program.
Jim Clark made a presentation on the progress of the Community
Horticulture Center Project (CHC). He outlined what CHC will include, how it
is laid out, and how it will be used. Artist Barry Rose, the design consultant
for this project outlined the opportunities for art at the CHC site. In his
report, Mr. Rose identified the following three locations in phase 1 of the
construction: 1) a location near the intersection of Rolland Moore Dr. and
Centre Ave., perhaps adjacent to the signage which is highly visible to the
public; 2) a courtyard paving design and execution in the Entry Plaza area of
the Main Building; and 3) a bas relief on the low retaining wall off the
Courtyard area behind the Main Building."
It was consensus of the Board to hold an open competition for a
sculpture at the entrance to the CHC.
It was decided to postpone further discussion of the Design
Consultant process until a special meeting on Tuesday, November 14"' at
3:00 PM.
VI I. Staff Reports — Ms. Martin distributed and reviewed a written report to the
