made a presentation to the board concerning their intention to
donate a memorial piece of art to the city to be placed at Lincoln
Center. The artwork is entitled "The Mime" and is in honor of
performer and community volunteer Christopher Ludlum. The
committee met with the Lincoln Center's Design committee which
approved the sculpture. The cost of the piece is approximately
$3000. The artist is John F. Becker of Fort Collins. He gave the
board a description of the piece and his interpretation of the
work. Following his presentation the board reviewed slides of his
other work. The project will take six months to complete, and it
would be unveiled February 16, 1997.
Following the presentations the board decided to make a
decision on the piece using the process proposed by staff.
Jane Liska Smith moved that a minimum of 35 points in the
rating system would be needed to accept the work.
Joe Vansant seconded
Approved Unanimously
The board proceeded with the rating of the proposal and the
work received a total of 38 points.

the maquette provided by the artist with the provision that the
piece be placed inside the entrance to the Lincoln Center
Performance Hall, and that all design, construction and
installation costs be paid for by the memorial fund or by Lincoln
Center.
