by the time of the ribbon cutting for the new building, late March early April,2022.
3. Discussion regarding new art for the Wylie Complex Walking Trails (C Ehrlich, Public Arts
Advisory Board Coordinator)
Board Discussion
PAC Ehrlich addressed the board stating that in past discussions with the board,the theme for the Wylie
Municipal Walking Trails was to be a history of the Blackland Prairies. This theme was to include plant
life that naturally grow in the region,animals that lived in the prairies,and the Cato Tribe that spent much
time hunting and camping in the area.
Ehrlich explained that if this was still the theme the board wished to suggest to the Parks and Recreation
Board, she would take it to them at their next meeting on February 14, 2022. Ehrlich also asked the board
if they wished to start with either one entry piece to the walking trails behind city hall or choosing two
smaller pieces to begin the trail. She explained this would be a ten year project to complete the trails.
Direction from the board was to take the theme previously discussed to the Parks Board and start the
multiyear project with an entry piece that might include some of the history of the Blackland Prairie.
