Staff Comments
Public Art Advisory Board liaison Ehrlich addressed council stating that the board met last year to begin
discussion for an art project for the newly remodeled Public Safety Building. A committee consisting of
Fire Chief Corbin, Police Chief Duscio, and board members Lisa Green, Gaynell Reed and Anne Hiney
met to discuss the theme for the art and where the art might be located. The board wished to honor
those that serve our community and proposals were sent to several artists, asking for submissions
honoring public safety officers.
Ehrlich explained, Artist Sid Henderson was chosen for the project and is proposing two life size
sculptures; one of a police office and one of a fire fighter. The statues will be 6 feet tall and will be
specific to the Wylie Public Safety in detail.
Sid Henderson was previously commissioned for work in Navasoto, Texas where he created a bronze
honoring a long time musician, Mance Lipscomb. Recommendations from his work are included in the
packet and he comes highly recommended. Dr. Birnbaum, facilitator for the project, stated that Sid is
meticulous to each detail and comes highly recommended.
Ehrlich displayed a 2 foot maquette, not complete in detail, giving the general stance and design of the
officers. She explained that once the piece had been commissioned, and all detail was approved, it will
go to the foundry for bronze fabrication. The completion date is scheduled for late February 2015. Funds
received from past events such as the Wylie Arts Festival and JazzArts Fest have been used for this
project.
