Ms. Susan Benay, 53-686 Avenida Velasco shared comments that had been shared with her from applicant Michael Kleinschmidt. She stated that when he was contacted by the Jury Committee member, he was questioned about his first proposal not his second proposal. Committee Member Walling clarified that during his conversation with Mr. Kleinschmidt he had his first proposal in front of him. After clarification by Mr. Kleinschmidt, Committee Member Walling discussed the second proposal and felt he had obtained sufficient information to make his review. APP11-6 1 Art in Public Places Minutes November 6, 1995 Committee. Members Kennedy and Lair joined the meeting. IV. BUSINESS SESSION: A. Review and Discussion Regarding Artist Selection- for the La Quinta Village Shopping 1. Chairman Nard explained how the meeting would be conducted and asked Committee Member Walling to give the report of the Jury Committee. 2. Committee Member Walling gave a review of each of the artist submittals while staff gave a slide presentation of each artists work: a. The Watling Company - Committee Member Klein asked if the artwork consisted of stone. Chairman Nard explained the project further. b. James Allen Preston - Committee Member Klein asked if the artist had submitted an actual proposal. Committee Member Shamis explained that he did not make a proposal as he felt his work was not within the budget. C. Susan Cooper - Chairman Nard explained that the cement castings would be made in different forms and explained the proposal further. d. Jon Barlow Hudson - Chairman Nard explained the proposal. e. Lester Wiese & Charles Martin - Questions were raised about a walkway down to the art piece and if the landscaping was part of the proposal. Chairman Nard gave more detail on the project. Committee Member Shamis explained the problem of utilizing water as it had been explained to by the Public Works Department. Committee Member Lair asked who would maintain the landscaping. Committee Member Shamis stated it would be maintained by the City. Council Member Sniff stated the use of the water was an opinion and not necessarily a decision. Discussion followed regarding the use of water at the site (other than the retained water). f. Michael Kleinschmidt - Council Member Sniff asked if the arch would span the basin. Committee Member Walling explained the height and span of the proposal. g. Bill Ware - Committee Member Walling explained the proposal. Committee Member Lair asked how the pieces would rotate. APP 11-6 2 Art in Public Places Minutes November 6, 1995 Committee Member Klein asked the height of the mobile. Committee Member Walling stated the height was 20-feet. h. Paul J. Berlier/Silva - Committee Member Walling explained that the use of water should be changed to acrylic and lights. Committee Member Kennedy asked about the size of the pots. Committee Member Walling explained they would be 13-feet high. Discussion followed regarding the height in relation to the depth of the basin and height of the pots. I. Barbara Grygutis - It was explained that no actual submittal was made, but an expression of interest. Committee Member Lair stated it was not necessary to have a submittal for consideration. j. Buster Simpson - No actual theme was submitted, but explained an idea he would like the Committee to consider. Committee Member Shamis stated she had spoken with the artist and he was interested in working with the City. His national reputation and ability to work with a city to develop an idea to fit into the site is well known. Committee Member Lair stated it was a normal procedure for artists to show examples of their work and then work with a city to chose an art piece to be integrated into a site. k. Ron Pekar - Committee Member Shamis stated the artist's proposal was designed to be a garden with sculptures that would be made in images of the local plants. Mr. Pekar has shown his eagerness and desire to work with the City. 1. Steven R. Rieman - Committee Members discussed the height of the structure and what the public would see from the street level as driving by. Committee Member Shamis explained that the artist stressed the educational element of the design and the overall use of the site. He was another local artist who would be willing to work with the City. 3. Committee Member Kennedy asked if the Committee's selection would be taken to a public forum. Staff explained the Committee was to make a choice and a recommendation to the Council. 4. Committee Member Kennedy stated she loved anything that has to do with the Village and was impressed with Susan Cooper's furniture. The Berlier/Silva art piece is very attractive and appealing, especially the idea of the piece being light at night. She would however, like to see the scale of the pots. Ms. Grygutis slides were very impressive. It appears to be landscape APP11-6 3 Art in Public Places Minutes November 6, 1995 art and the retention basin lends itself to this. Mr. Rieman's artwork, consisting of concrete, would be hot during the summer and she would want to be sure it was attractive from the street. 5. Committee' Member Lair stated she agreed with the Committee's recommendation. The Committee needs to make sure the Berlier/Silva art piece works from all direction; all view sides. Need to make sure the metal structure is engaging and not so austere. The site needs something that is original and unique to La Quinta. The smaller pot needs to be finished and asked how will it would be grounded to the earth. She was impressed that so many artists had put a lot more into the thinking process of their submittals. 6. Committee Member Reynolds stated she would like to see the pot designed by Berlier/Silva elevated higher. Shining the light on the water would be very effective. She would like to -see a maquette of Mr. Rieman's proposal. Barbara Grygutis's work is beautiful and of quality, but the Committee needs to see an actual design. 7. Council Member Bangerter stated she could agree with both the Committee's recommendation as she felt both the proposals were equal. She would however, prefer Barbara Grygutis over Buster Simpson. 8. Committee Member Shamis stated she liked Ms. Grygutis' work, but she too would like to see an actual submittal. Mr. Rieman's work is impressive and he produced work unique to the site. She had no objection to the representational artwork, but Rieman's art piece would be unique. 9. Committee Member Klein felt the Committee's selection was very good. Mr. Rieman was an excellent choice and his artwork was not only artistic, but would serve an educational purpose. Classes could be conducted on site. The Wiess/Martin -idea is unique, but she could see a problem with the terracing as well as the water feature. The Berlier/Silva piece needs to carve out the bottom of the pot to make it more appealing from the restaurant view. 10. Chairman Nard stated that after reviewing the slides, she felt Barbara Grygutis was very impressive. The incorporation of the landscaping with the artwork is impressive. Mr. Rieman draws the community in and it is functional as well as user friendly. The Berlier/Silva selection was an excellent job of representational artwork. 11. Committee Member Walling stated he agreed with Mr. Rieman's proposal as it was educational and the only proposal that utilizes the entire basin. The Berlier/Silva piece has a lot of charm and an opportunity of displaying symbolic artwork indigenous to the local Indian culture. Mr. Kleinschmidt's APP11-6 4 Art in Public Places Minutes November 6, 1995 submittal is a nice piece, but he has a concern with the abstractness being accepted by the public. Ms. Grygutis' work is nice, but Committee Member Walling was concerned that she did not submit an actual proposal and whether she could meet the budget. 12. Council Member Sniff stated he was concerned about this being a retention basin. It must retain water and contain a pumping system designed to remove that water. It will however, have water at times. Therefore, he was concerned about artwork that would sit in the basin and whether or not the water would affect it. This needs to be given serious thought. Anything that is in the basin, must be prepared to deal with the potential damage to it. He stated he would like to have something that contains plant life in the basin and have something rise above it that will not be affected by the runoff water. He felt Mr. Rieman's piece had commonality with the Louis De Martino work prepared for the Civic Center. Both pieces are very similar to each other. He had concerns as to whether or not the piece that stands up would be significant enough and not block the view into or out of the Center. The developer and development need to be considered as well. Need to consider the visibility of the corner that nothing obscures vehicular visibility. He would like to see something stand out of the retention basin more. The Berlier/Silva art piece needs to reduce the glistening look. They need to tone it down as it is excessively metallic. The pedestal does however, lift it up out of the basin. If the Committee wants something that is unique and utilizes the basin then Barbara Grygutis should be seriously considered. Her work is very impressive. 13. Committee Members asked to review Barbara Grygutis slides and discussed her work. Committee Members discussed short -listing the favored choices. Following discussion it was determined that Mr. Rieman, Berlier/Silva and Ms. Grygutis would be invited to come back and do a presentation to the Committee. It was moved and seconded by Committee Members Kennedy/Shamis to send an invitation to three artists to present at the APP meeting in December. 14. Committee Member Lair suggested that staff contact Ms. Grygutis to see if she would be able to design a proposal for the budget by their December meeting. Committee Member Kennedy asked that her motion be amended to include staff contacting Ms. Grygutis. 15. Committee Member Lair asked if the subcommittee would conduct the review. Discussion followed as to whether the subcommittee should short list and make a recommendation or let the entire Committee review and make a recommendation. APPi 1-6 5 Art in Public Places Minutes November 6, 1995 16. Committee Members asked that their suggests/concerns regarding each of the proposals be expressed to the artists. Mr. Berlier's piece should address the north view to the restaurant as well as the scale; check with the developer to see what has been set aside for landscaping/lighting; would Mr. Rieman's structure be able to withstand the runoff water. B. Potential Workshop 1. Committee Member Lair stated she had been discussing with staff an idea for a workshop. They had researched the budget to see if funds would be available and there was money for conferences that could be utilized to hold a workshop in January. It would consist of an evening orientation meeting and a one day workshop; maybe a Saturday. Depending on funds, three presenters would be contacted to conduct the workshop with one presenter conducting the evening overall subject. Committee Member Lair stated this was being presented to see if the Committee would be interested in conducting such a workshop. 2. Committee Member Shamis stated she had attended a symposium put on by the City. of Indio. It was presented for the purpose of discussing the economic structure of a city and the use of art to bring life back to the city. Ms. Susan Benay went on to state that art was being used to resuscitate the city. People who understood history, were using art as the dynamics to move the economic base forward. Local speakers addressed the demographics of the area and a need to come together to share information. A group of artists, who had put a Cultural Plan together for the City, stated this idea was about sharing information to incorporate cultural arts and expand an economic base. Indio, who was stripped down to its skeletal base, was hoping to revive the City through the use of cultural arts. The local government was working hand in hand with the artists to change the flavor of the community to make it economically viable. This was happening in a lot of communities State- wide. 3. It was suggested staff check with the City of Indio to find out what their entire symposium would address. 4. Committee Member Lair stated the purpose of our workshop was educational. The Committee needs to educate the City staff, members of other boards and committees, and local artists as to what "Public Art" is all about. The Committee needs to bring ideas to those who are in the decision APP11-6 6 Art in Public Places Minutes November 6, 1995 making process to motivate them to integrate art into all aspects of development. In addition, Committee Members need to create incentives to encourage attendance. She suggested appointing a subcommittee to review and prepare an agenda. Following discussion, Committee Members Carolyn Lair, Michelle Klein, Rosita Shamis, and staff were asked to prepare ideas for the workshop. V. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business it was moved and seconded by Committee Members Walling/Reynolds to adjourn this meeting of the Art in Public Places Committee to a regular meeting on December 4, 1995, at 3:00 P.M. This meeting of the Art in Public Places Committee was adjourned at 5:18 P.M. Unanimously approved. APP 11-6 7 V. B.

I. ROLL CALL COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Commissioners Michelle Klein, Elaine Reynolds, Rosita Shamis, Carolyn Lair, and Chairman Nancy Nard and Council Member Stan Sniff. Commissioner Walling arrived late. It was moved and seconded by Commissioners Lair/Klein to excuse Commissioner Kennedy. Unanimously approved. STAFF PRESENT: Community Development Director Jerry Herman and Executive Secretary Betty Sawyer II. CONSENT CALENDAR A.

There being no further corrections, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners Reynolds/Klein to approve the minutes as corrected. Unanimously approved. , B. Financial Statement: Commissioner Lair asked staff to review the statement. There being no changes, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners Klein/Lair' to approve the Financial Statement as submitted. Unanimously approved. III. PUBLIC COMMENT - None IV. BUSINESS SESSION A. Chairman Nard informed the Commission that the three finalists for the La Quinta Village Retention Basin Project would be presenting their proposals. 1. Steve Rieman - La Ouinta's Solar Sculpture "A Season Tracker". Mr. Rieman gave a presentation of his proposed artwork. He stated the project is like a sun dial in that it tells the time of year. The element casts a shadow at the various times of the year. His first design had a series of berms for the APP 12-4 1 Art in Public Places Minutes December 4, 1995 grass surrounding the basin. This design has more concrete at the bottom of the basin. Volcanic stone, surrounding the pad, will collect the nuisance water. The 36-foot colored concrete pad is to resemble the native terrain. Markers are made of steel and bolted into place. The sculpture is a 20-foot tall oxidized and coated with steel structured. There will also be six areas for planting of indigenous plants. The second proposal would not be terraced but would have concrete curbing. The elements as proposed are to imply to others that we are sensitive to our environment by symbolizing the desert. The sculpture provides an educational opportunity for local students as well as reminding the community of those who lived in this area in the past and that these people used the "season time" and not the "clock time". Mr. Rieman went on to address the areas the Commission asked questions about. * The height of the structure is 20-feet. The piece will be visible from the north bound lane of Washington and west bound lane of Tampico. * The art piece will draw attention to itself as it stands alone and apart. The difference from the current streetscape would make it stand out. * It is a unique and individual piece that was designed specifically for this area and should not be confused with any other work. * The water run-off would not cause any damage to the piece. The piece may be submerged, but in speaking to the Public Works Department, the pump to be installed would begin to eliminate the water immediately and there should be no standing water. a. Commissioner Reynolds asked if mud did cover the pad could it be washed off. Mr. Rieman stated it could be washed off and would probably add to the aging process b. Commissioner Shamis asked if the platform could be raised so that the water would not disturb the platform. Mr. Rieman stated it could be raised but he would refer the question to staff. Community Development Director Jerry Herman stated the platform could not be raised as it would displace the retention water. Discussion followed regarding the problems with raising the platform. APP 12-4 2 Art in Public Places Minutes December 4, 1995 C. Commissioner Shamis asked why Mr. Rieman had submitted a second option showing no terracing of the basin sides. Mr. Rieman stated this was only presented as an option. The terracing of the sides of the basin could be a consideration in the cost. d. Commissioner Lair asked if the storm drain pipe would be designed or left as designed. Mr. Rieman stated he had discussed this with the Public Works Department and there was a possibility of lowering the pipe and making it less obtrusive. e. Commissioner Klein asked how hot the sculpture would get in the summer. Mr. Rieman stated it would get hot. f. Commissioner Lair asked if the plant material were specific and indigenous to the area and having some meaning. Mr. Rieman stated he would use the indigenous plant material to symbolize the untouched desert to bring the plants to the public's attention. g. Commissioner Shamis asked if a plaque could be installed to explain the purpose of the structure. Mr. Rieman stated this was possible and it could be made a part of the project to explain the piece and how it works. h. Commissioner Reynolds asked if the tiers would be constructed in such a way as to allow gatherings and seating. Mr. Rieman stated this was possible and it could be used as a place to have lunch. I. Commissioner Lair asked Mr. Rieman to explain what could be learned from this piece. Mr. Rieman stated he felt it would cause people to think of the people that were here originally. The diagram on the structure would show how the angle of the sun does change and seasons can be determined from this. It would be similar to a short hike into the foothills to see the elements that exist to create the hills/mountains. j . Commissioner Shamis asked how the restaurant additions could be balanced between the two. Mr Rieman stated he felt the two could be integrated into the site. APP 12-4 3 Art in Public Places Minutes December 4, 1995 k. Commissioner Shamis asked what the colors of the concrete would be. Mr. Rieman stated the colors would be shades of tan and beige. He was considering adding a colored aggregate that would be sandblast at a later date to expose the colored aggregate. 1. Commissioner Lair asked if the current budget would cover all the costs. Mr. Rieman stated the current budget would cover the cost of the sculpture only. Commissioner Lair asked what Mr. Rieman thought the estimates would be for the platform and terracing. Mr. Rieman stated he did not have those figures at this.time, however he would be willing to make quotes if he were given the contract. M. Commissioner Reynolds asked what the terracing would cost. Mr. Rieman stated that was unknown at this time. Commissioner Reynolds asked Mr. Rieman if he had done this type of project before. Mr. Rieman stated he had not done this exact sculpture before, but he had done all the elements in one way or another before. n. Commissioner Shamis asked if the design he was submitting was an original and Mr. Rieman stated it was and it was designed specific to this site. o. Commissioner Reynolds asked if Mr. Rieman had any estimates as to the costs. Mr. Rieman stated that the proposal before the Commission was a conceptual design only. If selected he would come back to the Commission at a later date with the exact figures. o. Commissioner Klein asked Mr. Rieman if a person was driving by, where would the artwork catch their eye. Mr. Rieman stated they would be able to see the base of the sculpture from the centerline of the street. P. Council Member Stan Sniff stated his concern about the budget creep. If the sculpture is the only part of that budget, then the remainder is a concern as it would have to go back to Council at some risk. Will the excess water damage or stain the concrete? Runoff water is very dirty with numerous residues that could be harmful. Those viewing from the street should not have to strain to see the artwork. It should be seen easily. Mr. Rieman commented that he felt the artwork would be easily seen. Twenty feet is a substantial height and being APP 12-4 4 Art in Public Places Minutes December 4, 1995 that the art piece is so different the piece itself will make it stand out. q. Council Member Stan Sniff asked where the plants would be planted. Mr. Rieman stated they would be planted at several locations in the basin. - Council Member Sniff asked how additional plants could be planted at a later date. Mr. Rieman stated he had not anticipated any additional plants. r. Council Member Sniff asked if it would be easier to lower the ground around the platform to raise it out of any potential water. This would maintain the maximum amount of volume that would be required. Mr. Rieman stated that some of that would happen naturally. S. Council Member Sniff asked if there would be any lighting as it does get dark and the artwork should be seen. He felt the lighting would enhance the structure to give it visibility at night so it would not appear to be so stark and bright. The height of the structure will make it 14-feet above the ground level. Color is an important aspect of the artwork and he would suggest color be used in the terracing that would draw to the center piece. The sculpture needs to be framed to set it apart. t. Council Member Sniff asked how well it would function with the pump. There needs to be a collection portion that the water can flow into and be pumped out of. Mr. Rieman stated he had spoken with the Public Works Department regarding the placement of the pumping equipment and they stated there would be various channels to allow the water to flow through to reach the pump. U. Council Member Sniff asked what the sculpture would be made of - what materials would be used. Mr. Rieman stated it would be constructed of 1/4-inch oxidized steel. V. Commissioner Shamis asked how the sculpture would age. Mr. Rieman stated it would age to a color similar to the natural landscaping - orange. W. Council Member Sniff asked how eye catching the piece would be from the street. It needs to grab the eye and color does this. Mr. Rieman stated color is a powerful tool to be used and he could add color in the outside area. X. Commissioner Shamis asked what color would be used in the rock. APP 12-4 5 Art in Public Places Minutes December 4, 1995 Commissioner Lair stated it was intended to be black. Mr. Rieman stated it was to be volcanic rock, which is black. Discussion continued regarding the different rock materials. Y. Commissioner Lair asked if Mr. Rieman expected the residents to walk into the basin. Mr. Rieman stated he envisioned this. Z. Council Member Sniff stated there needed to be a pathway to the platform for people to walk on so there would be no injuries. Mr. Rieman stated stepping stones would be effective. aa. There being no further questions, Chairman Nard thanked Mr. Rieman for his presentation and stated the Commission would inform him of their decision. Ruth Rieman asked if she could address the Commission. She stated the art piece could be a dynamic situation if the City had historical dates that could be placed into the sculpture to act as a historical record. There could also be an interpretive brochure in the City Hall to invite participation with the sculpture. A teacher could use several elements to address the piece. Interpretive value grows with time. bb. Commissioner Lair stated the piece, without any interpretation, is stark. Would you consider having any texture or relief to soften the look? Mr. Rieman stated there were several options that could be considered without any difficulty and he would be open to any suggestions. CC. Commissioner Shamis asked if there would be any community involvement. Mr. Rieman stated he had worked with the employees from the City of Palm Desert and utilized objects from the City to create a 16-foot design. A similar idea could be done here to help with the costs. dd. Mr. Rieman went on to state that the proposal called for three markers, but others could be added to mark the City's historical dates. ee. Council Member Sniff asked if the metal structure could have a base of tile. Mr. Rieman stated this could work. Council Member Sniff asked if there was a possibility of the arch having tile at the base, about 3-4 feet, where tiles could be placed having other significant dates, such as historical dates. ff. Commissioner Klein asked if colored tile could be used on the base. APP 12-4 6 Art in Public Places Minutes December 4, 1995 The tiles could be sold to the public. Commissioner Shamis suggested they might be installed on the steps and consist of children's artwork. Mr. Rieman stated tiles were a good point, but there could be a layout problem as the sculpture does taper. If silken bronze could be used it would eliminate the layout problem. gg. Commissioner Shamis commented that the beauty of the sculpture was its simplicity. Mr. Rieman stated he was trying to say this was a very special place. hh. Commissioner Lair asked if Mr. Rieman had worked on any other city projects. Mr. Rieman stated that besides the City of Palm Desert, he was working with Copper Mountain, as well as Joshua Tree Monument. ii. Chairman Nard thanked Mr. Rieman for his time. Commissioners took a ten minute break. 2. Barbara Grygutis - Land Massing. a. The applicant was unable to attend the meeting so a conference telephone call was made to her studio. Staff introduced Ms. Grygutis to the Commission and asked her to present her proposal. b. Ms. Grygutis stated her proposal was to put grass in the whole area to hold the dirt. The bottom would irrigate itself and the grass would take care of the dirt. A land mass consisting of a bridge constructed out of stone would be built extending out into the basin from the fountain at the restaurant. It would allow seating and serve as a visual element. It is more of a horizontal piece rather than a vertical. C. Commissioner Lair asked if the concept for the stone work design was to come off Calle Tampico side of the basin. Ms. Grygutis stated the drawings she received of the site, did not clearly define all of the site locations and this was a concept design utilizing land massing concepts. d. Commissioner Lair asked if the stonework was to create seating and a viewing room. Ms. Grygutis stated the colors in the stone would go from light on the wall to a darker and darker color. APP 12-4 7 Art in Public Places Minutes December 4, 1995 e. Commissioner Lair asked what type of stones would be used. Ms. Grygutis stated she anticipated sandstone until she was able to see what is natural to the area. A lot of the proposal depends on the budget. Sandstone is comfortable and doesn't get as hot and therefore could be used to sit on. d. Commissioner Reynolds asked where the pump would be placed. Ms. Grygutis stated she understood the pump could be moved and those details could be worked out at a later date. e. Chairman Nard asked if the proposal included any lighting. Ms. Grygutis stated the budget at this point is prohibitive of those kinds of expenses. f. Community Development Director Jerry Herman asked Ms. Grygutis what she would do if funds were available. Ms. Grygutis stated she would place them on the perimeter of the wall to give an outline of the wall. They would shine from the bottom up. g. Commissioner Lair asked if the stone work would be textured. Ms. Grygutis stated it would be. Again, the budget is very limited. h. Staff asked what would the lighting would cost. Ms. Grygutis stated that was unknown at this point. I. Council Member Stan Sniff commented that in order to produce something substantial for this major corner that would be meaningful, the object should include lighting. Council Member Sniff asked if Ms. Grygutis had a concept of what should be done with the basin. Ms. Grygutis stated that her initial approach was to work with the restaurant since she had not seen the sight. The site needs a land mass that connected with the corner; vertical off the peninsula with columns of light perhaps. A steel mesh that could be seen through; verticals made out of the transparent material with light shinning up. j. Council Member Sniff suggested the columns have varying colors. Ms. Grygutis stated this was possible, but she would not want to commit to such a design until she had seen the site. Public art is built into the context of the site. The project could include shaped columns with lights built in. Council Member Sniff suggested the colors come from within. Ms. Grygutis suggested that the basin be made deeper to accommodate the land massing. Council Member Sniff suggested a center landmass with a bridge leading over to it. This would retain APP 12-4 8 Art in Public Places Minutes December 4, 1995 the retention basin's purpose to hold the water. Ms. Grygutis stated the bridge would need to be connected to the vertical piece to keep from being so busy. The City wants simplicity. Council Member Sniff stated land massing was a possibility with a vertical structure. Ms. Grygutis stated it all comes down to budget. k. Commissioner Lair asked how the artist would pull the community into what is significant. Ms. Grygutis stated it all depended on what direction the Commission wanted to go. There are certain things about La Quinta that are known and other things unknown to her. She would try to go into the community and gain an idea that would work and solicit ideas on what is available to work with. Council Member Sniff stated there were foothills to the west and south with varying colors that embrace this area that are extremely attractive. Ms. Grygutis stated the natural environment is a good element to work with as it is not political. 1. Council Member Sniff asked what it would take to get Ms. Grygutis to see the site. Ms. Grygutis stated she could come for one day. Council Member Sniff asked if Ms. Grygutis would you be willing to do this. Ms. Grygutis asked if the City would pay for the airplane ticket. Council Member Sniff stated this was a possibility, but the Commission would first need to discuss and determine what they wanted. M. Commissioner Lair asked what Ms. Grygutis' availability was. Ms. Grygutis stated she would be able to take one day to visit the site. Council Member Sniff asked if Ms Grygutis was currently working on a project. Ms. Grygutis stated she was working on several. n. Chairman Nard asked if the mesh wiring was to be on the base, would sandstone still be used for seating? Ms. Grygutis stated she would be unable to say without seeing the site. o. Council Member Sniff asked if Ms. Grygutis ever went over budget. Ms. Grygutis stated she had never exceeded a budget. She went on to state that on projects with smaller budgets, some of the entities involved, help with the work to keep the cost down. P. There being no further questions, Chairman Nard thanked Ms. Grygutis for her time and said staff would be getting back with her. 3.

He would therefore offset his art piece so ,it would not be in the way of the drain. If necessary he would plant oleanders. The unfinished smaller jug would be finished to the ground and made of fiberglass. The base would be changed to a 12-inch steel pole sitting in a cradle and the bottom of the large 011a would be at ground level.
