[Public Arts Advisory Board on January 18, 2024.]
          [00:00:04]
          ALRIGHT CALLING TO ORDER THE JANUARY 18TH MEETING OF THE WILY PUBLIC ARTS ADVISORY BOARD. THE TIME IS NOW 613 AND CAROL, WOULD YOU TAKE ROLL, PLEASE? ANITA. HERE. CASSIE. HERE. STEVE PRESENT. GLORIA. JOSEPH. YOU. JOHN WAS UNABLE TO COME TONIGHT. AND EITHER WAS ESTHER. WE HAVE A QUORUM. EXCELLENT. WELL SINCE WE HAVE NO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HERE TO ADDRESS ANY PARTICULAR SUBJECTS WILL MOVE ON TO OUR DISCUSSION ITEMS. DISCUSSION ITEM ONE. AH! CAROL IT WAS PROBABLY GIVE AN UPDATE ON THE 2023. WAF. WILEY ARTS FESTIVAL. THANK YOU USUALLY SPELL THAT OUT , INCLUDING PROFITS IN THE BOARD WILL DISCUSS ANY CHANGES NEEDED FOR THE 24 EVENT. CAROL WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR US? OKAY WE HAD A RECORD YEAR. OUR REVENUE WAS $30,585. WE HAD 4000 IN, UM. 
          SPONSORSHIPS FROM METHODIST CWD AND LIME ADVERTISING, WHICH WAS THAT BIG TRUCK FOR FLOORS AND MORE. UM WE HAD 2000 IN FOOD VENDORS AND THEN THE REST OF IT 24,000 AND SOME WAS FROM THE VENDORS THEMSELVES. SO UM, THAT'S REMARKABLE. UM. WE DO NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION. I KNOW THERE WAS SOME ISSUES WITH IT THIS YEAR. I DID TALK TO CRAIG AND WHAT HE WANTS TO DO IS COME UP WITH A PLAN AND HAVE ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS TO, UM. TO FACILITATE THAT PLAN AND WHAT HE'S JUST GENERALLY THINKING ABOUT BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE YET. UM IS MAYBE HAVING EVERYONE COME IN ON FIRST STREET? AND HAVING TWO LINES. AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE AND FIRST STREET WILL. BECAUSE YOU'RE COMING. YOU'RE COMING DOWN. BROWN. YOU TURN LEFT ON FIRST STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU GET TO BALLARD. AND THEN AT THE END OF THAT STREET, THAT'S WHERE THEY STOPPED. AND IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE BLUEGRASS WHERE JOHN IS THERE, AND ALL THE CARS STOPPED, AND HE KIND OF REDIRECTS THEM IN WHICH LOCATION TO GO TO, SO THAT KIND OF THING WHERE THEY CHECK THE PEOPLE IN AND THEN THEY TELL THEM GREEN GOES HERE. ORANGE GOES HERE. 
          BLUE GHOST THERE. AND THAT WAY WE CAN PUT THEIR BOOTH NUMBERS AND CIRCLE THEM. ANOTHER THING THAT HE TALKED ABOUT WAS UTILIZING THE BACK PARKING LOT FOR ADDITIONAL VENDORS. MAYBE USING HALF OF IT. WHICH WOULD GIVE US MORE VENDORS, SO THOSE ARE KIND OF IN THE WORKS. HE AND LILLIAN WILL WORK TOGETHER TO GET THE ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEERS TO BE ABLE TO STAND OVER THERE AND TAKE CARE OF THE VENDORS AS THEY COME IN. HE WOULD LIKE TO START AT FIVE IN THE MORNING. HE THINKS THAT. IF FOLKS CAME AT FIVE, IT WOULD ELIMINATE THE BRUSHES THAT WE GET. YEAH. I THINK IT WOULD PROBABLY JUST EXTENDED. BUT HMM. PROBABLY JUST EXTEND IT. I THINK YOU'RE PROBABLY JUST MOVING THE BALLOT AN HOUR FORWARD IS PRETTY MUCH IT. YEAH SO THERE WILL BE MORE DISCUSSION ON THAT. AND UM, WE CAN CERTAINLY PUT OUR INPUT AS WELL. UM ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EVENT OR CONCERNS OTHER THAN THE ISSUE THAT WE HAD WITH THE DIRECTION. 
          VENDOR FEEDBACK. PARDON VENDOR FEEDBACK. WHICH VENDORS WAS VENDOR FEEDBACK. ALL OF THEM. 
          DIDN'T I SEND THAT TO YOU? ALL THE SURVEY? I DIDN'T SEE IT. OH, I'LL SEND IT OUT TO YOU. UM MOST OF THE RESPONSES WERE GREAT. UM THERE WERE A FEW THAT DIDN'T DO WELL IN USUALLY THAT'S PRODUCT ISSUE. IT'S NOT CROWD ISSUE, SO I DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT THAT. UM THERE WAS ONE THAT COMPLAINED. COMPLAINED ABOUT. SIGNING UP FOR AND PAYING FOR A 10 BY 10 AND SHE WAS GIVEN AN EIGHT BY 10. WHICH SHE WAS COMPLETELY RE FUNDED FOR. SO SHE WAS IN THE EVENT FOR FREE IN HER 
          [00:05:04]
EIGHT BY 10, BUT SHE STILL WANTED TO PUT THAT IN HER SURVEY , SO OTHER THAN THAT THEY WERE ALL POSITIVE AND WOULD BE BACK AND I'VE ALREADY HAD EMAILS FROM VENDORS THAT WANT TO KNOW WHEN THE APPLICATIONS ARE GOING TO GO OUT THIS YEAR. SO IT WAS VERY POSITIVE AND I'M SORRY I WILL SEND THOSE OUT TO EVERYBODY. ANY OF THE VENDORS. MAKE SUGGESTIONS FOR US THAT WE CAN ALSO LOOK AT TO ALWAYS GET THE SUGGESTION TO HAVE A TWO DAY EVENT BUT AT THE CHURCH IS JUST NOT FEASIBLE OUTSIDE OF THAT, BUT SOMETHING THAT WOULD ADD TO THE ORGANIZATION. SOMETHING TO YOU KNOW, BACK TO THE 10 BY 10 THAT WAS REALLY NINE BY NO, WE DIDN'T. WE DIDN'T GET A LOT OF THAT EITHER. CRAIG DIDN'T MAKE THE SUGGESTION THAT INSIDE RATHER THAN PUTTING AN EIGHT BY 10 FOR 145, JUST LEAVING ALL OF THEM AS A BY EIGHT. AND THAT WAY , THERE WILL BE NO COMPLAINING BECAUSE THEY'RE ACTUALLY GETTING A LITTLE 2 FT MORE THAN THEY SHOULD HAVE FOR THE SAME PRICE AS THE BY EIGHT. ANYONE ELSE? ANY QUESTIONS? NO. ALL RIGHT, THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO DISCUSSION ITEM TWO. WE ARE GOING TO TOUR OUR NEW ART PIECE AND MAKE COMMENTS REGARDING OUR FINAL INSTALLATION. OKAY, UM. BEFORE WE GO OUT THERE. I WANTED TO EXPLAIN THAT, UM THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE LIGHTING. UM THE ARTIST USED ONE OF THE LOCAL ELECTRICIANS HERE WHO I WILL LEAVE UNNAMED. AND GOT WITH HIM PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE LIGHTS TO ENSURE THAT HE HAD WORKED WITH LED LIGHTS THAT HIS PEOPLE HAD WORKED WITH LED LIGHTS. AND THE CONTRACTOR TOLD HIM YES, THAT HE DID WORK WITH LED LIGHTS . AND SO KEVIN, UH, KATIE'S HUSBAND SENT ALL OF THE SPECIFICATIONS TO HIM SO THAT HE COULD REVIEW THEM PRIOR TO COMING OUT. UM WHEN THEY HAD THEIR MEETING, OF COURSE, KEVIN HAS TO COME FROM HOUSTON EVERY TIME HE COMES DOWN HERE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THEY RESIGN. SO HE CAME DOWN FROM HOUSTON, AND HE MET WITH A YOUNG A YOUNG MAN. 
          UM, NOT THE CONTRACTOR HIMSELF, AND HE SAID, YES, I CAN SET THESE UP. NO PROBLEM. UM, WHEN HE WENT TO TURN THEM ON THE WHOLE LINE BLUE WHICH THESE LIGHTS COST ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO $400. UH SO HE CALLED THE CONTRACTOR AND SAID, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. UM PLEASE READ THE SPECIFICATIONS AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN DO IT . CONTRACTOR SAID YES. HE SENT SOMEONE ELSE OUT THE NEXT DAY, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. SO IT'S PUT THE ARTIST IN A CRUNCH BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO PAY THEIR CONTRACTORS AND THEIR FINAL PAYMENT CANNOT BE ISSUED UNTIL THE LIGHTS ARE WORKING, AND ALL OF THE BUILDING INSPECTIONS HAVE BEEN DONE, INCLUDING THE ELECTRICAL SO I HAVE GIVEN THE INVOICE FOR THE FINAL $12,750. TO OUR ACCOUNTS PAYABLE, ASKING THEM NOT TO MAIL A CHECK UNTIL THEY'VE GOTTEN AN EMAIL FROM ME THAT ALL THE WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETE. SO WHEN WE GO OUT THERE, THE LIGHTING WILL NOT BE WORKING RIGHT NOW. AND STEVE HAS VOLUNTEERED BECAUSE I'M GOING OUT OF TOWN TOMORROW AND I'LL BE GONE FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. STEVE HAS VOLUNTEERED TO COME OUT TOMORROW NIGHT AND MAKE SURE THAT THE LIGHTING IS AS IT SHOULD BE. UM THESE LED LIGHTS WILL CHANGE COLOR, SO AT CHRISTMAS TIME, YOU CAN HAVE THEM GREEN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH OUR SCREEN. IT'S VERY ANNOYING. UM A GREEN OR RED AND SO ON. BUT MOST OF THE TIME, THEY'LL JUST BE WHITE SO THAT YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE SCULPTURES IN THE DARK. UM SO WITH THAT SAID, WE CAN GO OUT AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT. IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL PARKS WILL BE COMING IN WITH ADDITIONAL DIRT. FROM THE SPLASH PAD BECAUSE THEY'RE DIGGING DIRT OUT, SO THEY'LL BRING IT OVER HERE. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PIECE, SHE WON'T SEE ANY OF THE CONCRETE BASE. IT'LL BE LEVEL UP ABOUT HALFWAY UP THE PILLARS, THE MIDDLE PILLARS. AND THEN THE PARKS DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO PUT SHORT GROWING GRASSES AROUND THE PIECE AND THEN A STAMPED CONCRETE PATH THAT GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND IT. SO UM, IT MAY TAKE A MONTH OR TWO FOR ALL THAT TO BE COMPLETED , BUT I'D LIKE TO WAIT FOR THE DEDICATION UNTIL IT'S DONE AND 
          [00:10:07]
THE PLAQUES ARE OUT THERE AND EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD IF THAT'S OKAY. AND CRAIG CAME UP WITH A REALLY GOOD IDEA. TODAY. UM AT THE DEDICATION. LET'S LEAD. MONARCH BUTTERFLIES GO YEAH. SO WE'VE LOOKED INTO THAT. SO ANYWAY, YOU WANT TO GO OUT AND TAKE A LOOK? NOW THAT MY LIPS ARE SUFFICIENTLY FROZEN WE WILL CONTINUE ON. AND I WILL PRAY THAT I CAN READ DISCUSSION ITEM THREE. AH THE BORDER WILL RECEIVE AN UPDATE ON THE PROGRESS REGARDING THE ART PIECES BY YOSHI, RIGHT. UH OH. YOSHI HAS RECEIVED HIS FIRST PAYMENT. UM THAT WAS UPON COMPLETION OF THE CONTRACT SIGNED AND DELIVERED BACK TO THE CITY. UM, HE IS NOW WORKING ON HIS, UM CERTIFIED PLANS. TEXAS CERTIFIED PLANS. UM AS HE PUT IT , AND THEN HE'S GOING TO START ON THE MAGIC. SO I'M HERE IS IN PROCESS OF STARTING THE TWO PIECES. HE THINKS THAT IT WILL BE LATE OCTOBER EARLY NOVEMBER WHEN THEY'RE INSTALLED AND WE WILL GET A HOLD OF THE CATTLE NATION. TO HAVE THEM COME OUT AND BE PART OF THE DEDICATION FOR THE PIECES. WELL YOU SAY WE, UH WE, THE CITY OR HE COORDINATED WITH THE CITY. TO CONTACT THE DOCTOR. UH WHAT WE'LL DO IS GET IN TOUCH WITH JEREMY. UM AND JEREMY WILL TAKE CARE OF GETTING IN CONTACT WITH THEM AND HAVING THEM COME OUT TO DO THEIR TRIBAL DANCES AND PERHAPS IF YOU BOOTHS OF HANDMADE GOODS FROM THERE. HMM COMBINATION SO HE'LL REACH OUT TO THEM AND PLAYING TIME FOR THEM TO SCHEDULE IN. AND OH, YES, YES, YES. ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON DISCUSSION ITEM THREE. NO ALL RIGHT, AND WHEN WE'VE ONTO DISCUSSION ITEM FOUR DISCUSSION FOR THE MATERIALS FOR THE BOOTH SET UP FOR THE WILY EVENTS TO PROMOTE PUBLIC ART IN WYLIE. I SENT A ANOTHER PACKAGE TODAY. THAT'S REFLECTS THE, UH CURRENT PRICING THROUGH VISTA PRINT FOR ALL ITEMS. IT WAS THE TENT TABLE COVER. TUESDAY AND UP BANNERS AS WELL AS TO FEATHER BANNERS THAT WE COULD PUT UP OUTSIDE OF THE AREA, PARTICULARLY FOR OUTDOOR EVENTS. 
          UM. TO DRAW ATTENTION TO OUR CAUSE, AS IT WERE. THERE WAS THE DESIGN. THAT'S THERE IS IN ADDITION TO THE ONES THAT ARE IN THE BACK OF THE MEETING PACKAGE THAT WERE ISSUED PROBABLY TWO YEARS AGO NOW. AH BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN IN THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME. BUT ALL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. AND QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION CLOTS. SO IN THE CANOPY IS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF THE COST. YEAH BY FAR AND THAT'S THAT PRICES VERY COMPETITIVE WITH OTHER VENDORS AS WELL. UH JUST THIS TIME AROUND. I DECIDED THAT I WAS JUST GOING TO GO AHEAD AND DO THE ENTIRE ESTIMATE THROUGH VISTA PRINT. AH JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN HANDLE ALL OF IT AT ONCE. YEAH EVERYBODY ELSE WAS OKAY. WE CAN DO THE FEATHER BANNERS OR HEY, WE CAN DO THE COAT THE CUSTOM TABLE COVERS OR WE CAN DO THE YOU KNOW THE CANOPY, ETCETERA, ETCETERA JUST TO BRING CAN HANDLE IT ALL, WHICH WAS BIG PLAYER FOR ME, BUT OKAY, UM, AND THE OTHER THING THAT I JUST WANT TO, UM REITERATE, IS IF WE DO THIS, AND WE HAVE A BOOTH. BOTH FOR THE BLUEGRASS ON BALLARD AND FOR THE WILY ARTS FESTIVAL. WE WILL HAVE THE DISPLAY THE WHOLE TIME THAT THE EVENT IS GOING ON, SO WE WILL NEED VOLUNTEERS ALL DAY TO TAKE CARE OF THE BOOT. I THINK WE COULD EVEN TAKE DONATIONS. 
          ABSOLUTELY AT ONE POINT. I THINK WE PUT THAT UP FOR DISCUSSION AS WELL. UM OR JUST YOU KNOW, WHEN WE HAD JUST RANDOM THOUGHT TIME ON THAT BRAINSTORM TIME, MORE OR LESS. AH! AND THE BROCHURES THAT WE HAVE, UH, THE ART OF WILEY PUT THOSE OUT AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, MAKE IT CLEAR THAT WE 
          [00:15:01]
ARE NOT OPERATING ON CITY TAX MONEY, THAT KIND OF THING, RIGHT, RIGHT. OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT LOCKED INTO THE DESIGN AT ALL. THESE ARE JUST RANDOM THOUGHTS. UH, IF ANYBODY WANTS TO SEE MORE, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GENERATE MORE OR IF YOU ALL HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO SO. 
          PLEASE DO. UM GO AHEAD. ELABORATE ON. I'M NOT TOO SURE UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING. GO AHEAD. 
          ALL RIGHT? I JUST IF YOU CAN JUST GIVE ME MORE DETAILS, BUT WHEN YOU SAY TAKE DONATIONS, WE HAVE A TABLE SET UP AND THE PUBLIC DONATE, OR CAN YOU JUST TWO. I MEAN, EVERYTHING WOULD BE BASICALLY A DONATION TOWARDS THE OR FUND TOWARDS PROMOTING, UH, NEW ART. ARE YOU KNOW, HELPING US TO PUT ON EVENTS. TO CREATE THE NEW SCULPTURES AND ARTWORKS THAT ARE GOING TO LIKE FOR THE BLACK LAND PRAIRIE PROJECT. AND OTHER PROJECTS AS WELL. WOULD IT BE TEST DEDUCTIBLE? IF PEOPLE RUN THE WRITE CHECKS? WOULD IT BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE THAT PEOPLE WANT TO WRITE CHECKS? UM, IT IT IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE BECAUSE IT IS A DONATION, BUT. WE CAN'T GET BIG CORPORATE DONATIONS A LOT OF TIMES BECAUSE WE'RE NOT A 501 C THREE. BUT THAT'S FOR CORPORATE DONATIONS. UM LIKE WITH OUR SPONSORSHIPS FOR THE ART FESTIVAL. I'VE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE TELL ME IF YOU WERE A 501 C THREE. WE COULD GIVE MONEY, BUT BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT, WE CAN'T . BUT THEN THERE'S OTHER COMPANIES THAT DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT, LIKE THIS ADVERTISING COMPANY, METHODIST HOSPITAL AND CWD, SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON ON THE PERSON THAT'S DONATING. BUT IT IS A IT IS A DEDUCTIBLE DONATION. SO WHEN YOU SAY THE ART FUND IS THERE TECHNICALLY AN ART FUND. UNLIKE THE LIBRARY, LIKE THE LIBRARY THEY HAVE THERE. WELL SIMILAR OR NO. WE DISCUSSED A COUPLE OF TIMES HAVING FRIENDS OF THE PUBLIC ART ADVISORY BOARD. AND AT ONE POINT, UM MR SCHARY WAS GOING TO START THAT, BUT NOTHING EVER TRANSPIRED OF IT. BECAUSE WE WERE LOOKING AT BIGGER CORPORATE DONATIONS. UM SO. THERE HAS BEEN TALK ABOUT THAT. BUT SOMEBODY'S GOT TO GENERATE THE YOU KNOW THEY HAVE CITIZENS AND INDIVIDUALS THAT, UM, THAT RUN THE FRIENDS FOR THE LIBRARY OR THE FRIENDS OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. UM AND SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THOSE VOLUNTEERS. THE BOARD CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE THEY'RE SEPARATE FROM WHAT THAT BOARD WOULD BE DOING, AND THEY RAISE MONEY AND THEN DONATED TO THE LIBRARY OR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS HOW IT WORKS. 
          OKAY? THANK YOU. HAVE A QUESTION ON THE TABLE CLOTH. SO ON THE SECOND PAGE, THERE'S A PHOTO OF THE TABLE WITH A TABLECLOTH ON IT. THE PHOTO ABOVE IT. SYRUP BACKSIDE TO THE TABLECLOTH. I MEAN, LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT'S A TABLECLOTH GONNA HANG OVER ON THE BACK SIDE, OR IS IT I'VE NEVER SEEN TABLECLOTH LIKE THIS BEFORE. IT ONLY HANGS ON THREE SIDES. UM NOT. I SAID THE DESIGN AS IT STANDS. IT'S JUST FOR THREE SIDES. UH MAINLY BECAUSE IT'S JUST EASIER FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE SITTING AT THE TABLE. I MEAN , THEY'RE THE BIT THAT YOU SEE IS WRAPPING AROUND. IT'S JUST ALL GOING TO BE AROUND THE FRONT OF THE TABLE. THE REST OF IT'S OPEN IN THE BACK FOR EASE WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA BE SITTING THERE. IT'S GONNA CREATED ISSUE WITH THE TABLECLOTH SLIDING OFF. 
          TO THE FRONT QUOTE, ACTUALLY. OR THE ESTIMATE ACTUALLY INCLUDES CLIPS. AH FOR TO HOLD THE COVER ONTO THE TABLE. 
          AND JUST TO CLARIFY THE WHOLE PURPOSE, AND THE WHOLE IDEA BEHIND THIS WAS JUST LITERALLY TO PROMOTE THE ARTS ADVISORY BOARD AND TELL INFORM PEOPLE OF WHAT WE DO. AND WHY WE DO IT. 
          UH, THE DONATIONS THING WAS A SIDE NOTE GOOD OR CANNOT HAPPEN. IT WAS JUST LITERALLY AN INFORMATIONAL, UH, DEAL INSTEAD OF US JUST SITTING THERE AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS FROM VENDORS 
          [00:20:02]
THAT HAVE PROBLEMS. WE COULD LITERALLY ANSWER THE QUESTIONS TO THE POPULATION THAT SAY, WHY ARE YOU HERE? YOU KNOW, WHERE DO ALL THOSE SCULPTURES COME FROM THAT AND YOU KNOW, I WANT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THE BLACK LIMB PRAIRIE PROJECT. I WANT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THE WALKING TRAILS. I WANT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT ALL THE PIECES OF ARTWORK THAT ARE GOING ON IN THE CITY OF WILDLY THAT'S WHAT THIS IS FOR. I WAS GONNA ADD. I DO LIKE THE UPDATED, UM WILEY ARTWORK. I THINK THAT LOOKS REALLY NICE BECAUSE IT MATCHES WITH OUR CITY LOGO. UM AND I LIKE HOW THE ARTS LOOKS ON THAT THE UPDATED ONE THAT'S MY TWO CENTS ON THE DESIGN. WHO DID THAT? YOU DID IT, OKAY? UM SO I KNOW THAT WE DID TALK. YOU KNOW ABOUT THE BOOTH AND A COUPLE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TIMES. YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT OBVIOUSLY, DONATIONS AND HAVING THAT SET UP AND ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS, BUT ALSO POSSIBLY SELLING STUFF. YOU KNOW, THAT WAS SOMETHING WE TALKED ABOUT AT THE ARTS FESTIVAL BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SEEMS TO BE A NEED IN THE MORNING FOR VENDORS AND PEOPLE TO HAVE COFFEE AND ALL OF THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. I JUST WANT TO KEEP THAT OUT THERE ON THE TABLE THAT WE'RE STILL, YOU KNOW, STILL DISCUSS THAT AT SOME POINT. YEAH AND WHETHER I CAN GET AWAY WITH THE STYLIZED W FOR THE CITY OF WILEY AND SO WIDELY ARTS IS STILL UP IN THE AIR. 
          THAT WAS JUST A THOUGHT. NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ASK PERMISSION. OH FOR SURE. ANY ANY TIME YOU MESS WITH CITI LOGO? WE'LL DEFINITELY HAVE TO, UH TO SEEK PERMISSION. SO. THAT WOULD BE CRAIG AND I WILL CHECK WITH HIM. AND MAKE IT VERY CLEAR MAKE IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT THAT DESIGN IS NOT FINAL, OBVIOUSLY. IT'S DEFINITELY OPEN FOR SUGGESTION AND MODIFICATION. I WILL DO THAT ALL DESIGNS FOR THAT MATTER. ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE? WE DON'T HAVE A BUSINESS ITEM FOR THIS. SO UM, WE CAN TAKE FROM SORRY. MY DAUGHTER. UH WE CAN TAKE COMMENTS ON FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS AND THEN I CAN PUT IT ON THE NEXT AGENDA, I WILL SAY WITH THE COST, I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO DO A MID YEAR BUDGET AMENDMENT. THERE'S PLENTY OF MONEY IN THE FUND. UM, WE HAVE ABOUT 563,000 IN THE FUND. UM THEY ESTIMATE AFTER THESE NEXT TWO ART PIECES ARE COMPLETELY PAID FOR. IT SHOULD GO DOWN TO ABOUT 450. I THINK IT WILL STAY UP. CLOSER TO FIVE. SO THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM, BUT THEY TAKE OUT A CERTAIN AMOUNT THAT'S USABLE FUNDS, AND THEN THEY PUT THAT INTO ADVERTISING OR WHATEVER. SO FOR THIS, I WILL NEED TO DO A MID YEAR ADJUSTMENT . BUT I'M PROBABLY GOING TO NEED TO DO IT ANYWAY, BECAUSE I THINK WE'LL BE DOING SOME MORE BOXES SIGNAL BOXES BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. SO. I JUST WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT THERE. ALSO I JUST WANT TO LET'S MAKE SURE WITH CRAIG ABOUT MODIFICATIONS OF THE LOGO OR IF I JUST NEED TO GO IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DIRECTION. WHICH CAN BE DONE. OBVIOUSLY I'LL EMAIL HIM AND SENT HIM THIS AND HAVE HIM LOOK IT OVER AND THEN WHEN I GET BACK , I WILL GET WITH HIM AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY MODIFICATIONS THAT NEED TO BE DONE OR IF HE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT WE COULD LOOK OUT, AND THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING I WANTED TO PUT TOWARDS THE BOARD. AS JUST TO, YOU KNOW, FEEL FREE. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS AT ALL IN TERMS OF DESIGN. IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. UM I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PUT HIM INTO PLAY. UM, OBVIOUSLY, LIKE I SAID, THESE ARE NOT AH! FINALS FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN JUST TO FILL IN THE POSSIBILITY, UM, OF WHAT WE COULD BE DOING NOW, UM. I'LL BE HAPPY TO GENERATE AND EXAMPLES OF ANYTHING. UM. IT'S EASILY DONE. MR PRINT MAKES IT REALLY EASY, SO UM, CAN. WHAT WHEN WE DO THIS, DO WE HAVE TO BESIDES, IF WE JUST WENT EARLY WHILE THE ARTS OR WHO WENT PUBLIC PUBLIC ART SPORT, OR DO WE THINK THERE WAS ANOTHER SOMETHING HERE? YEAH DO WE NEED TO DECIDE WHICH WE WANT ONE OR THE OTHER OR IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER. I THINK I WOULD LEAVE THAT SUGGESTION AS WELL UP TO CRAIG AND SEE HOW HE WANTS TO KIND OF COMBINE IT IN THE OVERALL ADVERTISING FOR THE 
          [00:25:02]
CITY. I WILL ALSO SAY THAT THERE ARE OTHER EVENTS LIKE OUR DEDICATIONS THAT WE CAN HAVE THAT OUT THERE AND, UM, CITIZENS NIGHT OUT FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE CAN BRING OUR BOOTH OUT, SO THERE ARE OTHER OTHER THINGS THAT WE CAN USE IT FOR, BESIDES, JUST THE TWO OF THEM. BUT AT THE BLUEGRASS. I WILL NOT BE SITTING OUT THERE ALL DAY YOU'LL BE CALLING AN AMBULANCE FOR ME. I THINK WE CAN PROBABLY WORK IN SHIFTS. ALRIGHT. ANY OTHER INPUT ON DISCUSSION ITEM FOR. NO ALL RIGHT. WE'LL TABLE THAT FOR NOW AND MOVE ON TO THE REGULAR AGENDA. THE ART PIECE REVERIE BY KATIE ANTILL HAS BEEN INSTALLED ON THE WALKING TRAILS ENTRANCE BEHIND THE RECREATION CENTER. THIS IS PHASE ONE OF THE BLACK LAND PRAIRIE HISTORY ALONG THE WALKING TRAILS THE BOARD WILL VIEW THE OUR PEACE AND WE DID AND WILL NOW CONSIDER APPROVAL. 
          PART OF THE CONTRACT. FINAL PAYMENT PAYMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED NOT TO EXCEED 12,750 PENDING THE ISSUES THAT YOU NOTED EARLIER. SO I WOULD TAKE ANY COMMENTS THAT ANYONE HAS OR WE CAN ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I WILL MAKE A MOTION. UM THAT THE RPS BE, UH, APPROVED. FOR THE CONTRACT WITH THE FINAL PAYMENT TO BE CONSIDERED NOT TO EXCEED $12,750. PENDING THE. CORRECTION OF THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT CURRENTLY EXIST. THE LIGHTING AND THE, UH, INSPECTIONS. 
          CORRECT. WHO QUESTIONED BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD. SORRY WANTED THAT BEFORE YOU MADE A MOTION. 
          UM HAS ANYBODY WENT OUT AND ACTUALLY INSPECTED LIKE VISUALLY LOOKED AT EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE THAT I MEAN, WE WENT OUT THERE AT NIGHT, WHICH IS GREAT. BUT HAVE WE WENT AND ACTUALLY LOOKED AT THE ART DURING THE DAY TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY ISSUES. FLAWS BECAUSE I'M NOTICING LIKE WHEN I'M OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE WORKING ON PUTTING THE LIGHTS BACK IN, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, SCREWS ARE MISSING THAT'S GOING TO CAUSE RUST DOWN THE ROAD. UM SCREWS WEREN'T TIGHTENED IN ALL THE WAY FROM SPOTS, SO JUST SOME LITTLE THINGS THAT I WAS NOTICING AT NIGHT WHERE I COULD BARELY SEE LIKE HAVE WE HAVE ANYBODY GOING OUT THERE LOOKING DURING THE DAY TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THAT. UM STEVE IS GOING TO GO OUT TOMORROW NIGHT. THE LIGHTING SHOULD BE DONE BY THEN. AND KEVIN SAID ANY, UM ANY OVERALL. THINGS THAT NEED TO BE TIGHTENED UP, OR, UM, FIXED WILL BE DONE. HE'S STAYING AFTER THE LIGHTING IS DONE TO GET THOSE THINGS DONE. I THINK THE SCREWS THAT YOU'RE SEEING PROBABLY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE LIGHTING. BUT YES, I MADE A NOTE OF THAT. I'LL DOUBLE CHECK IT. UH, I'LL BREAK MY FLASHLIGHT OUT AND UM, WELL, IDEALLY, I WOULD HAVE COME ONCE IT'S LIT. I WOULD THINK EITHER EARLY EVENING OR, YOU KNOW. YEAH, YEAH. JUST MAKE SURE THAT I'M AT THERE AT A TIME WHERE I CAN ACTUALLY WITNESS THINGS THAT ARE ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHETHER IT'S FIXED OR NOT, AND THEN YOU KNOW, I ISSUES LIKE THE SCREWS. AND THE LIKE, WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO JUST BREAK OUT THE FLASHLIGHT. ALSO, THIS THING HAD I, UH, I THINK TOO NOT PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH, BUT I THINK SOMEBODY NEEDS TO LOOK AT IT DURING THE DAY. NOT JUST YEAH, WE DO. WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW THAT THE LIGHTS ARE WORKING, BUT I THINK YOU DEFINITELY CAN SEE IT BETTER THAN TODAY. AND FLAWS AND I AND I THINK MAYBE THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO SAY BEFORE WE SAY, YEAH, WE'RE PAYING YOU I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S WHY I THINK, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY DOING THAT DURING THE DAY? LOOKING AT IT. DO WE HAVE ANY? I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S A PIECE OF ART. YES WE HAVE THE BUILDING INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENT, BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT MAYBE ANOTHER VOLUNTEER COME OUT DURING THE DAY ON. WHAT WOULD THAT BE SATURDAY? RIGHT IN UM. YEAH JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IN THE DAYTIME EVERYTHING LOOKS RIGHT BECAUSE I WON'T DO ANYTHING THEN UNTIL MONDAY, IF I HEAR BACK FROM EVERYONE. NINE. 
          COME TOMORROW. THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING STEPHEN YEAH, IN THEORY, I COULD COMMENT, SO I'M SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO OUR OFFICE CLOSES AT THREE, BUT NOT NECESSARILY ALWAYS THE CASE SO I CAN TRY TO COME OUT EARLIER AND THEN AGAIN IN THE EVENING TO MAKE SURE I WOULD SOON I WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT AT ALL. OKAY I MEAN, YES. I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE ALL THE TIME. MHM JUST INSTALLED PUT ON DONE. YES, THEY MESS SOME STUFF UP WHILE THE RING AND I 
          [00:30:01]
NOTICED THAT THE A LOT OF THE MICHAEL. A LOT OF THE. GROUT IS LIKE RIGHT NEXT TO THOSE METAL PANELS ARE TAKING ON AND OFF. AND IF THAT STUFF'S GETTING CHIPPED IN YEAH, ALL THAT. 
          THAT'S A CONCERN FOR ME AS FAR AS THE ART ITSELF. NOT THAT I MEAN, SHE'S A WONDERFUL JOB, BUT IF THEY'RE DAMAGING IT FROM DOING A LOT OF WORK TO IT RIGHT NOW. THAT'S A CONCERN. SO SO I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA THAT WE LOOK AT IT DURING THE DAY AND AT NIGHT UM AND THEN, AS SOON AS I'VE HEARD BACK FROM YOU ALL THAT EVERYTHING IS OK, THEN I'LL MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE I HAVE TO HEAR FROM THE BUILDING INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENT AS WELL. NOW WE DO HAVE A THREE YEAR MAINTENANCE FREE. UM IN THE CONTRACT, SO THEY WARRANTY THEIR WORK FOR THREE YEARS. WHAT TIME WILL KEVIN BE HERE TOMORROW? KEVIN. OH KEVIN. HEY. JUST SAID TOMORROW. I DON'T KNOW I CAN NICE THAT HE WOULD BE HERE WHEN YOU GUYS ARE HERE SO YOU COULD LOOK AT IT TOGETHER DURING THE DAY FOR SURE. OKAY THEN HE COULD THEN TO YOUR POINT, MAYBE POINT OUT SOME THINGS OR HAVE ANSWERS FOR THOSE QUESTIONS AND IF HE'S GONNA DRIVE UP HERE ANYWAY, LET ME DO THIS. I WILL TEXT JOSEPH AND STEVE AFTER THE MEETING ONCE . I HAVE, UH, TEXTED KEVIN TO MAKE SURE WHEN HE IS PLANNING TO MEET WITH THE ELECTRICIAN BECAUSE IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE TWO OR THREE HOURS AFTER THAT BEFORE HE'S COMPLETELY DONE, BUT YOU YOU ALL IF YOU CAN COULD COME OUT BEFORE THAT. CERTAINLY WILL MAKE THE EFFORT. I MEAN, THAT SHOULD BE PRETTY FREE AFTER LIKE, ONE O'CLOCK TOMORROW, SO IT'S WHATEVER. UM YEAH, THAT THAT'S BASICALLY IT. BUT ALSO LIKE THE COLOR CHANGING FEATURE. 
          IS THAT SOMETHING THAT STEVE OR I WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE HAPPEN AT NIGHT? TOMORROW OKAY? BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE THE OTHER THING IS MAKING SURE IT'S ACTUALLY FUNCTIONING AS THEY'VE PROMISED. 
          YEAH AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S ENOUGH LIGHTING WITH THE WHITE LIGHT THAT YOU CAN VISUALLY SEE. 
          THIS SCULPTURES? YEAH THAT'S ANOTHER QUESTION THAT OCCURRED TO ME. ACTUALLY I'M GLAD WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION NOW, UM WHO WILL BE WILL WE BE IN CONTROL OF THE COLOR OF THE LIGHT? YES, GIVEN INSTANCES. YES. SO THE CITY WILL HAVE SOMEBODY GO OUT THERE AND CHANGE THOSE LIGHTS. IF WE'RE IN CONTROL OF ASKED, UM, THE ARTIST IN THE MAINTENANCE PORTION OF THE CONTRACT TO GIVE US THE NAME OF THE COMPANY THAT THE LEDS ARE PURCHASED FROM AND THE NAME OF THE CONTRACTOR THAT'S GOING TO WORK ON THE LIGHTING SO THAT IN THE FUTURE SAY, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE LED S. THEY'RE GOING TO LAST A LONG TIME. BUT IF THEY'RE ON ALL NIGHT, UM, 345 YEARS FROM NOW WE KNOW WHERE TO GO TO GET THE LIGHTS AND WHO CAN REPLACE THEM? WHEN BUT LIKE, LIKE YOU SAID, MAYBE DURING CHRISTMAS, THEY WOULD BE GREEN AND RED WITH THEY ALSO BE DOING THAT WORK. OR YOU THINK THE CITY EMPLOYEES THE CITY EMPLOYEES WILL BE ABLE TO ADJUST THEM. ALRIGHT ANY MORE DISCUSSION. THEN WE WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CONSIDER. HAVE YOU ALREADY MADE? IT MADE THE MOTION. WE JUST NEED A 2ND 2ND, PLEASE. I'LL SECOND THE MOTION. AND I HAVE LEARNED HOW TO WORK THIS. OH, YEAH, WE DON'T HAVE THAT UP THERE. WELL, UM. YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO SEE IT ON YOUR THING. WELL, NOW THAT'S NOT GOOD. START. RESULTS. OKAY? THE MOTION PASSED 50. I KNOW YOU CAN'T SEE IT UP THERE. ALRIGHT REGULAR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON THE PUBLIC EXHORT PUBLIC ARTS ADVISORY BOARD MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 8TH 2023. NOW ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
