be painted
• Detailed red sticking on the balls
• Printing on the Wylie Public Arts Program stump closest to the Batter pillar

• Maximum weight for either of the two sculptures by the certifying engineer
• Completion of the Maintenance Page of the Contract
The board can approve both the final and final payment contingent on these items being completed at staff level
or table the item until the next regular meeting.
Johnny contacted staff this afternoon stating that he would be on site and have the material delivered to the
office today. Staff will update the board at the meeting.
In addition to the certification of maximum weight, the city attorney has advised that signage be placed by the
