IV. Depot project
Bob Smith and Linc Mueller of the Stormwater department
and Jack Gianola of the Facilities department introduced themselves
and made a presentation outlining the Depot project. They
described the history and design of the Depot and its proposed
usage as an office building for the Stormwater department. The
timeline for the project is to finalize construction documents by
February/March, begin construction by late Spring 1996 and complete
the project by the end of 1996. Mr. Mueller reviewed a list of
possible ways art could be introduced to the project. The list was
generated by Stormwater staff and submitted to the APP board for
their consideration.

V. Drake Street project
Marc Engemoen of the Engineering department explained the
improvements proposed for West Drake Road between Shields street
and Taft Hill Road. The project incorporates upgrades to storm
drainage, the street and the bike trail. Mr. Engemoen shared ideas
that the engineering staff has discussed relating to placing art in
the project. Construction documents are scheduled to be sent out
for bid in December, the work is projected to begin April and be
completed in October.
Mr. Engemoen also described street improvements scheduled
for the intersection of Drake and College Avenue. These
improvements will be of a similar nature to the recent upgrades
made to the intersection of College and Prospect. Since this area
is a high speed intersection with virtually no extra right of way
for a sculpture, Mr. Engemoen suggested to the Board that the APP
funds generated by this project could possibly be added to the
Drake project funds.
VI. Discussion of Drake and Depot projects
Depot project- After discussing the list of ideas
submitted by Stormwater staff and reviewing the project, the Board
decided to postpone a decision until the meeting on October 19.
Preliminarily, the Board wished to consider the ideas of a water
feature sculpture, manhole covers, decorative benches, and Annie's
grave.
Drake project- After discussing the scope and impact of
the project, the Board decided to postpone the decision until the
October 19 meeting. The options the Board wanted to discuss
further were railings on the bridge, earthworks, seating area/
sculpture, tree guards.
VI. Other Business
Bruce Taylor Project- The project has been completed.
Publicity by Columbine Cablevision, Inside Fort Collins, and the
Coloradoan will be coming out. Mr. Cordiner suggested a reception
be held to acknowledge Mr. Taylor's efforts. It was the concensus
of the Board to hold a reception following the next regular
meeting.
IX. Adjournment
Ms. Dale moved to adjourn at 6:22pm
Mr. Cordiner seconded
