A. Discussion regarding the 2024/2025 Walking Trails, Phase 3 Projects
(C. Ehrlich, Public Arts Advisory Board Coordinator)
Staff/Board Comments
PAC Ehrlich presented a new design by Sonny Behan, a finalist for last year's projects. This design included
a bronze life size white tail deer which was the most hunted animal of the Caddo and other tribes for their
skin, horns, and meat. She explained that the bison originally proposed by Mr. Behan had gone up in price
and the artist was checking other foundries to see if he could get the cost down.

Public Arts Advisory Board
She explained that if the board was to approve the deer, it would more than likely take the entire budget.
She stated that the board could chose to use more of the funding to include two sculptures however she
believed it was best to wait until some final numbers were available.
Board members were in consensus that they would like to be able to approve the deer and the native
American if it was within the allotted budget. PAC Ehrlich stated that she hoped to get some final numbers
within the next few weeks to bring back to the board.
