for the specific park site. Ehrlich reported that each artist's references would be checked upon the selection of
the finalists.

BUSINESS ITEMS
1. Consider and act upon the selection of artists to be considered for the Downtown
Mural at Olde City Park Art Project. (C. Ehrlich, PAAB staff liaison)
Panel Discussion
The panel asked questions relating to the individual artists and discussed the different designs the individual .�
artists utilized. John Potoschnik noted that the artist chosen would need to convey his design detail so vehicle
passengers could see the detail from a distance. He noted that the artists presented were both graphic and
artistic in design techniques. The panel narrowed the artists down to 2-3 finalists and chose an alternate in the
event any of the finalists could not fulfill their proposal obligations or time lines.
Panel Action
A motion was made by panel member Potoschnik, seconded by panel member Martin to choose Roger
and Karen Nitz, Dave Eden, and Kyle Wadsworth as the three finalists (short list) with the selection of
Johnny Edwards as the alternate. A vote was taken and all members were in favor of the artists
chosen.
