Ms. Martin handed out a packet of information to the board with the design concepts for the park by selected artist Karl
Ciesluk. Ms. Martin explained to the board the final design concept and budget for this site, the background of the
project, and the challenges with finishing some of the site projects due to the problems with immigration issues
surrounding the Canadian artist. Ms. Martin explained that the legal fees needed to work towards getting the artist a
permit are high and there is no guarantee of success with the process. Ms. Benedict and Ms. Martin presented some
alternate options to the board proposing that the artist continue to finish one element of the initial design while we put
out two separate Request for Proposals for two other projects at the site. Discussion was had among the board.
Mr. York made a motion to put out two Request for Proposals, on for an artist to do the wood carvings and another
artist for the bathroom murals using the budget present in the packet. Mr. Russell added to the motion that the Request
for Proposal for the tree carving fit the "growth" theme and the Request for Proposal for the mural fit the "playground"
