Discussion regarding the 2024/2025 Walking Trails, Phase 3 Projects (C. Ehrlich, Public Arts Advisory Board Coordinator) Staff/Board Comments PAC Ehrlich reported that she had received a price from artist Sonny Behan. She noted that Artist Behan was only willing to provide the deer sculpture due to budget constraints. Board members had questions concerning the budget and PAC Ehrlich phoned the artist to provide answers. Behan stated that the $44.715 proposed budget could be different in costs as these were estimates. He reported that in order to get a firm cost for the bronzing, a maquette must be made and sent to the South Africa foundry so they could give a final cost. The board asked about a full bronze in lieu of the bronze relief. Behan replied he could give a cost for both based on the bronze relief maquette. Cost for the creation of the small maquette would be $3,500 and is part of the proposed budget. Board members discussed the difference between the bronze relief and the full bronze deer with board member Suarez leaning toward the full bronze and board members Jones, Dyson and Bellah leaning toward the bronze relief. Direction from the board was to get approval for fabrication of the maquette and ask the artist to increase the height of the base to avoid children climbing on the art. C. Discussion regarding the promotional materials for a booth set up for the Wylie Events. (C Ehrlich, Public Arts Advisory Board Coordinator) Board Discussion PAC Ehrlich reported that this item had been tabled and board member Shank was in the process of revising the design. D.
