John and Craig would mark booths inside and the parks department would mark the outside on Friday prior
to load in. Board member Courtney would prepare children's activities for the event. All members with
the exception of board member Shank would be there Friday and Saturday.
Ehrlich reported there were 179 inside and outside vendors this year.
B. Update regarding the Public Art Project for Fire Station#4. (C Ehrlich, Public
Arts Advisory Board Coordinator)
Board/Staff Discussion
Artist Terrance Martin had submitted a revision to his design taking away the pond that would be under the
towers and replacing it with stained concrete. Board members believed this redesign took away the integrity
of the overall design for NEVER FORGET and was very dull. Board member Shank stated that he
understood the Fire Committee deciding against the water pond but the design needed more than just a
stained concrete circle where the pond was going to be placed.
Direction on this item was to contact the artist and find something that was more in line with a water feature
and reflection from the towers.
