Staff/Board Discussion ®..,
PAAB liaison Ehrlich reported that the board had toured the art site at Fire Station #3 with construction
manager Shane Colley. She explained that there was some unevenness to the back of the wall and some
color variations on both the front and back of the wall. She reported there were options to remediate the
issue. They included:
1. Placing a skim coat of color concrete over the entire wall (all four sides) to provide a constant texture and
color. This process would also fill in the small holes that exist on the back side of the wall.
2. Stone rub the back of the wall to try and accomplish a smoother texture to the concrete. Ehrlich explained
that this process would not change the difference in the color of the back compared to the skim coated
color that was placed under the mosaic panel on the front. It would also not eliminate the small holes in
the concrete.
3. Acid wash the back and front wall to smooth the look of the concrete. She explained this would not
eliminate the holes.
4. Lease the wall as is and accept it as complete.
Ehrlich explained the mosaic wall could be approved tonight with any of the options above being part of the
motion to complete prior to the final payment of$4,560.00.
Board Action
A motion was made by board member Dougherty, seconded by board member Spillyards to approve
the final art piece, 100 Years; A Visual History by Montage 48/61 with the contingency that all 4 sides of
the wall be skim coated with a darker color concrete to even out the texture and color prior to final
payment to Montage 48/61 of $4,560.00. A vote was taken and the motion passed 4-0 with board
members Harrison, Gaudreau, and Salinas absent.
