Okay, so this is the public Art Committee meeting Wednesday, June 10th, 2 p.m. at the second floor media Room in City Hall.
We are. May still have another member coming, but we'll go ahead and get started. You want
to call the roll of the members? Here, Miss Taylor here, chair here. Miss McIntyre here. All
right. And we are still waiting on Miss Denoff. Yes. Okay. I'd like to acknowledge our guests. Could you please step forward and state your name and
department, please? I am Holly Langston, the sustainability program manager for the city of Tarpon Springs. Thank you.
Holly. And first up, we need to approve the minutes from our April 8th meeting. Don, can you make sure your green lights on?
Oh, thanks. Oh, there we go. Thank you. I don't have to say all that again, do I? No. Okay. So we're going to review and
approve the minutes from our April 8th meeting. Do I have a motion? Make a motion to accept the minutes as read in the previous meeting with necessary
corrections. Okay, I'll second that. Perfect. Roll call. Vote. Miss McIntyre, I don't vote. You don't vote. Thank you. Oh,
well. Chair Patel. Yes. Wonderful. Okay. Excuse me. I have a little bit of a cold, but it's on the upswing, so
don't worry. Excuse me. Okay, so first order of business. We're going to move, be up to a and do first the storm drain
mural project update and a new call to artists. Would you like to take the reins? Okay, well,
first of all, the five that were on the original called artist are all painted and I think they look great. Personally, I'm really proud to
see something that I worked on be in actually done and looking so good. I really am pleased with everything. So I think it
was wonderful. We have three more on the preferred or well, phase one list, three more
storm drains and I made up a new call to artist for these and I think you should have
copies. There's a couple of things I wasn't real sure I should have on the call to artist. And one is. Where I put.
Each design must be submitted as an individual image. And please put in your email which storm drain it applies to. But
then we had some of the artists did additional drawings and their art sketches, and all were were revised for different
sizes of storm drains. So I'm not sure that we really need that. Where for them to say which storm drain they would
like. So yeah, perhaps we could just put our artists may be asked to, you know, revise design to fit available space,
depending on location. That way we, you know, if there's things that we like, then we don't have to be like, oh, you know, none got submitted for this location, but three got
submitted for that location. So maybe we can revise it with that, right? I realized this morning that we probably needed to revise it so that it'd be
one design, and we could just use it for all three. Yeah. The other thing is. I feel
personally that the designs that we have now that weren't used, we should consider them along with new designs. Absolutely. You like that? I
think so too. I would say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because we got in such good artwork from so many artists. It was really hard to
decide on these. It really was. And it would be nice. Like if we have a jillion locations and we can put one on every one, you know, let's do it. You know, if if this really takes off,
let's, let's make it happen. So the more, the more input we can get from the community, I think the more enthusiasm around the project. Like you said, you know, you enjoy seeing something that you were
involved with actually come to life. And I think that's the key to community involvement as well is, you know, more involvement. So. Right. And I've had several artists that I
know for some reason either didn't pay attention or they didn't get the first call to artist and they say, oh, I want to be, I want to make up a
storm drain design. And so I think the art world is getting excited about it. So I think everybody else is too. Excellent. Now, we do have
seven locations that are potential future locations, but I assume we don't need to do anything with those yet. Do we need approval or is it Holly?
Do you know if those. The when you did your presentation, you had given us phase one priority, more mural locations one through eight and then potential future mural
locations. Phase two. Let me look back. You can refer to this. This is from your presentation. Have those
priority two locations been approved. So I believe that all of the phase one locations were approved by the previous city manager. The phase two. I do
not believe we actually entered into approvals for those. So that might be a separate like we might have to undertake that. But I do believe that anything that we talked about for phase one, and then you all picked
the first five. So I will double check, but I am fairly certain that all of phase one was fully granted. Yeah. Then let's just move forward with the three, okay? Yeah. Okay. To
get this out. Right? Right. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. We'll go with the ones that are already approved. Yeah. Okay. And then I'll make a note to depending on what you all decide if you
would like for me to, you can, you know, direct that I should proceed with go ahead and getting approvals for phase two. That way when you are ready, you would be able to undertake. That would be that would be
great. Okay. Can be waiting in the wings. Yeah, right. Especially since right now we're only meeting every other month. You know, best not to lose two months. Definitely get
it rolling. Okay. The only other question I have is we need to assign dates. Like when they should be painted by, when
the design should be emailed, submitted, and the artist will be notified. So it is. Since it's summertime, I think maybe
we need to give a little bit longer than we did last time. A lot of people are vacationing. Yeah, plus I'm jealous it's a
rainy season. The heat is a lot. And yeah, if I can just say one thing about, you know, obviously the, the heat, the working conditions, I did go out. And so two of the artists
were able to seal and put like a protective coat on. There's a few we didn't have it available for at the time. So I went out and did that. So they're all sealed, which is great. Yes.
Okay. So we want to protect our art. But on that note, you know, when it is super humid or when we're getting these afternoon rainstorms that can impact the artists ability to, you know,
apply the paint or the seal in some cases. So that's just, you know, that's a consideration for you all. Like you said, you may want to extend it to the time where maybe we would be getting less rain. We obviously
don't know what the weather's going to be in three months. So it's kind of guesswork. But but yes, I think it's great that you're taking that into consideration because I have seen, you know, I can't work today because it's raining. I
can't, you know, that kind of thing. So we might put a weather permitting statement in there that just says, you know, understand these dates may change based on weather conditions, right? And maybe
once we get these going, maybe it'll rain. There we go. There you go. Yeah. It's raining. Yeah. At a previous job, they swore anytime I left my windows cracked, it rained. So if we
needed rain, I would just leave my windows cracked. And sure enough, it would rain. Yeah, I even had my car wash the other day. It didn't rain. I can't believe it. Wow. If that
doesn't work, I don't know what will. Okay, so before we had. February 4th. Now I don't. Our
next meeting is August 12th and then the meeting after that will be October 14th. Okay, so. So can we say like the week
before August 12th? Does that give you enough time to like October 5th, Monday, October 5th, and then that would give you a week and a half. Yeah. Okay. So is that, is that
enough time? Because we could go September 28th, which would give you like two weeks to organize the submissions because hopefully there's a lot. Okay. I hope there's a lot, but
it's not that difficult to organize them. So whichever day more time. So October, October 5th, October 5th. Okay. Submissions and selections will
be notified by email by. When is our next meeting? Next meeting or. Well, you said August what? August, the next meeting is. The next meeting is August 12th and the meeting
after that is October 14th. Okay. Yeah. So they'd be notified maybe a week after, within a week after the 21st of
October. Okay. So they'll be notified by 1021. Storm drains must be painted by November,
December, January 15th because December. How long, how long was was it for these first five?
It was a little bit over two months. Okay. And you know that way we had a college student who had to wait for the semester to be over so she could come home and paint under
the knees. Right. And it's so cute. The last one submissions were received by February 4th. Artists notified by February 12th. Storm drain storm drains
must be painted by June 1st. So four months. I will say if we're looking at October, that is like prime hurricane season.
So if we want to extend. That's right. Well storm the because they're going to be notified by. 1021 yeah. So yeah. So we'll say, well, we're going to be
done with hurricane season painted by February, February 1st. Yeah. Because that way somebody in school and away
will have time to get home and paint it over Christmas. Right. Okay. So February 1st, February 1st, 27. Gosh, it's hard to
believe. 20 I know, right. And somewhere in here, weather permitting. I think that's a good idea. Thank you. To adjust. And if they're all painted by
February 1st, then our next meeting would be of that would be February 10th. So perfectly we'd have like a nice little viewing party. Yay! Yeah. Okay.
So is that get all that and we're going to replace the one with instead of saying to put
the locations to say the location you're submitting for, say, artist may be asked to adjust submitted design to fit specific drain dimensions. Yes.
Okay. And then if we want to, we can say, you know, let us know if you have a preferred location. Otherwise we're going to pick, you know, what we think is going to fit best,
right? No one objected to revising their design. They were all thrilled to be selected. That's fantastic. And there's just I'm just amazed at
how good they all are. Oh, yeah. Beautiful. When I was leaving the The Sunshine presentation and I was leaving and the gal
was out there painting the one there on the corner, and I stopped and talked to her and she was very excited and it looked like it was going great. It was the manatees. So I was like, so excited for the
manatees. So and that one, the staff drain. Yeah, that one ended up, he did that during work time. So we didn't pay for
that drain. Oh okay. So $200 is $200. Yeah. Yeah. So just so you guys know where they are. Yeah. Well, so there they are.
Yeah, I will revise this and get a copy to you. So can you, can you just make a motion to accept the revisions to this call, to the second call to
artist and then vote on it. Okay. So I guess because then that way you and I can make the revisions and get it out and we
don't need to wait. Come back again. Yeah, that's so if you all accept these revisions, okay. So do I have a motion to
accept these revisions and send out the call to artists? I'll make that motion. Second. Chair.
Yes. You have to ask all of them. Sorry, Miss Taylor. Yes. Miss Hickey? Yes. Sorry.
Excellent. Not me and not you. Okay, great. All right. Thanks, Holly. Thank you, Holly. And thanks for. Thanks for painting the sealant. Yes. Pleasure. And
thank you all. Look forward to you. It really is exciting to see. Oh, yeah. Something we worked on. Sure. You go look at
it. It's like, wow. Yeah, I, I helped do that. It is exciting. Okay, so next up is an update on update on the illuminated
art boxes. So I saw as I was getting canceled for my flight on the 20th, that the yeah, that was a nightmare, but that
the art boxes are up, the new artwork is installed and. So I saw that also that Megan had sent out a quick email letting
all the artists know that it was up. I'm going to send out a formalized one, if not later this week than Monday. And I
would like to include a link on where how they can locate their their artwork. So great is that on the Tarpon Arts thing where
there's a map or how do I do that? That's a great question because they have asked me where their art is and I have no idea. Okay, so we can check
with Tony if they had a process of putting them up in in regards to their numbers. Yeah, they're all numbered. And so if you had them in like a certain order, he probably just went
like down the line. Right. But we'll have to work on mapping them. Okay. So maybe this week we can find out from Tony how we can figure out where all of
them are. And then I'm assuming on the Tarpon Arts website, there's like a little their number there. So we can say check there and you can we have
to update that. Like it's still the old, I was going to say anything that's up there for illuminated art boxes is the old boxes. Do you need anything from me on that or did you get
everything you needed with all the application stuff? Because I know they sent me, you know, the the emails with the rest of their stuff, you know, do you have a list of the titles of
the art? I do, the title of the art should be on the spreadsheet submission spreadsheet, but and also the
medium. And then did, did any of them give you information like on if they wanted to sell it or not? Some of them gave me pricing. So I'll go through the emails and get all that together and I'll send that to
you. To be perfectly honest, when that will be on the website is to be determined. Okay. And I can let you know. But we are two people short staffed in our office, so
gotcha. That will be a TBD. Okay. I did want to share that. I worked last week on processing all of the honorariums for each one of the
artists. So they, the majority of them have been processed and are are pending. And I believe there's still ten left that need to be processed. But that's all completed on our end,
and we're just waiting for them to receive the Honorariums. Okay, fantastic. And I think Megan and her email said, you know, look for them there will be sent out Friday and look for
them on Monday. Yeah. They'll be sent in the mail. Excellent. So so I will put together the information that I got on the.
Excuse me. The any pricing that was included, medium websites, that sort of thing. Because I would really like to have all
of that on the website to, you know, if they provided it, I'll pull all that together and add it to the spreadsheet and then I'll send you a new spreadsheet.
With all of that information added. Some of it's on there, and I'll just add new columns for the additional information. That way you can just pull it
from there. Once you're able to get it on the website. Okay. In the meantime, if we can at least give them, you know, find
out what order the what number they are, what number they are, and where they're located. That would be fantastic. I would love to get that out to the
artists. Okay. I think the second bit of information on that was the, the boxes are
starting to rust. Did you get any additional information from Tony? You did. I remember reading it. Yes. So he really
was just letting us know that they're starting to corrode. Like if you see in the picture, they're starting to corrode and like the amount of weight that's on the pole, he said, is,
you know, we have to consider that for the future. He didn't make it seem that it was anything that like, needs to be addressed right now like that.
This round of boxes can stay where they are and they're okay. But for the next time, like we might need to consider like,
right? Finding new boxes or getting new boxes or do, do you have information about where these boxes came from? I joined like in we can find it or Joan.
Joan will have information about this for sure because I'll check with Joan because. Yeah. And I'll talk to her about, you know, kind of the process of deciding on these particular boxes. Maybe there
weren't any like acrylic ones or, or nylon ones or whatever, but, you know, maybe there was some reason why they didn't choose those or something else.
So I'll, I'll have a lunch with Joan and kind of go over all the stuff and get all the, all the down and dirty about this. I know that they also had
problems sometimes with the electric and the solar and them illuminating at night. So just with all the weather and the factors that are involved in
there and yeah, yeah, everything else. So okay, I will let me write this down. Oh, such a burden to have lunch is
that would definitely be I'm sure it's probably I mean, if we're replacing 40 boxes, that's going to be a chunk of change. Yeah. That we might
need to we could dip into your pack fund or depending on the budget. Yes. You probably have to dip into your pack fund. Yeah. Yeah. So but this will
give us a year to kind of do some research and see if we can't find the best possible option moving forward. And
maybe by then prices will come down. Okay. Anything else that needs to be discussed on the illuminated art boxes? I'm
excited to have them up. Finally. I'm sure the artists are are too. I did get an A text from Jean that she was not able to make it. She couldn't
get a ride to the meeting because she does not drive. Oh, gotcha. So yeah, I think that's it for illuminate art boxes.
They they look lovely. Great. So another project. Check, check. And a lot of lessons learned for me. Just saying.
And I'm, I, I will say that one of the lessons that I've learned that we might take forward to other projects is instead of telling people, include this in an email, include that in an email,
because oftentimes it doesn't happen is to create forms that people can, you know, the, the Adobe Acrobat fillable forms that people can check boxes and
stuff. I know how to make those. I'm sure everybody on the planet knows how to make those. And it would help us get all the information that we need all at once. So that's something that I want to
implement moving forward. All right, next order of business. The Public Works Bleacher Building mural update. Okay, so
Jean is working on that. And unfortunately, we have only got one submission. So. In, in your packet, you have the original
call to artists. Then if you flip through, you're going to see the information on the actual submission from an
artist named Michael Farrell. Farrell. Yep. So you guys can, you know, discuss what was presented because he did
present his style of mural that he has done in other municipalities, right. However, he did not provide a specific
like a, like a mural specific to Tarpon Springs. Right. And I understand what he was saying in his letter. It sounds like he does take time to talk to
the community, does some research. So, you know, I understand where he's coming from, saying, you know, I don't want to invest all this time.
If, you know, if I'm not chosen. So he did provide a good idea of his style, which I
appreciated. It looks like there's various, you know, as far as fonts and colors and all that kind of stuff goes, some
differences, but similar style in the, you know, kind of the collage block look of, of
various. Things of interest about the town. So. Let's see where's his oh yeah, this is
the last page. Now, I did have a couple of questions. Looking at his cost estimate. This the
square foot. First of all the pre production and the post production the sealant and the.
Masonry primer and all that. Is that something that the city would take care of or would we. I would I'll double check, but it seems like that could be
something that our guys could do for a more efficient cost. Okay. Hi, Trish. Yes. She couldn't get a parking spot, so.
Okay. Thank you. She texted me. Okay, good. Thank you. Thanks for letting us know. Sorry. It's okay. Thank you. Also, lodging and transportation.
Yeah. Is that something we usually that I don't like? So the guy that did the Riverside concession stand murals, like I don't recall anything about
lodging. And he traveled here to do it. So I feel like it's not a consideration that we cover more for the art. Right.
Okay. Question. What about this? The per diem for to and from the gas. Again, I'll have to double check, but it's, you
know, it's not part of the art, right? You know, like process, right? I guess I mean, it, it seems to me that if you're, if you're submitting your work to
be done here, you understand it's being done here and that sort of yeah. Cost you're taking, you know, like when it sounds like he does this stuff all over the country based on
the, the examples that he sent in. So but, you know, like with Steven and he's going to like Maine and Saint Pete and doing all his stuff like we weren't
charged for. Right. That yeah, yeah. I think our purview is the art. And so because the
36,005 50 seems like a lot, I'm not sure if he's, you know, all of the examples that he showed are one facade and, you know,
ours. The, the call to artist shows two, two facades, right? Yeah. There was the, the side end. Yeah, the end and the
front, the street side and then the end. So. I think this, this particular proposal estimate
covers the, the facing, but not the side. So. The cover, the whole project facing side. That's what he should be submitting right. Per square
foot wall dimensions. I mean people can submit for whatever they want. But his specific one was 12ft by six feet, 12ft six
inches by 140ft, up to 1750ft■!. So you could still consider this submission. Yeah. Extend the call to artist. We can let
this artist know that you'll be considered, but we are extending the call. Yeah. I mean, I get it out there, but I don't I would rather not make a
decision based on one submission for sure. So, so that's like also too, if you guys want to look at the call to artist, is there any
language that and, and Jean did put in here. I don't think it's
in here. She had she. Oh yeah. Here's a revised. It honestly was not very different than what's on here already. But we
would obviously we'd have to change the dates. But is the language about the site description or the design
criteria or the proposal requirements? Like is any of that do you want to change? Was that in the so behind the
Michael submission, there is the original called artist that you can refer to. Okay. So yeah, do May 15th. And there was a
revised one. So yeah, Jean did this revised one. Okay. But it's pretty much the same thing. Okay. But we would just need to
change dates and stuff. Okay. So I, I really honestly couldn't tell the difference. Yeah, I would probably strike.
We don't need profile of commissioning institution, do we? Well, that's on all the call called artists. It's just it, I guess I'm just telling
basic information to the artist about who we are. Gotcha. Includes two pictures of building measurements for the two walls that we utilize. East
wall. I feel like the pictures could be updated, because I do feel like the bushes have been cut back a little bit. They've also covered. They've also
covered the windows and painted them. Oh, you can see the pictures. These are some images I took last week. So they have these are updated kind of
covered. Yeah. Those spots right. Yeah. I would definitely include these new pictures. Yeah. Yeah. Include the new
pictures. We've got the dimensions. We should probably label these dimensions. I have a question. This says they may
submit only one mural design. Yes. That's you guys can discuss. If they want to do more, then that's up to you. Yeah. I would take that out. Yeah. Maybe say up to three. I
would say they could submit. I mean we don't want to get 45 different looks. You know they should be able to edit down to three options three up to three,
three designs. Okay. Because you know, if they say, oh, I want to lean towards the athletics, but we could also lean towards, you know, city
history. I think that would that's reasonable. So so these estimated dimensions, these two
sheets here, I think they're the same. Are they the same. I think they are. Yeah. Yeah.
These are the same. But one has a picture on it. So. Oh okay. So I see this. This is the, the
call to artist as it was done with this and then that picture. Okay. So I think what we need to provide for the dimensions
is because there's two faces to this mural, we should have the two different. I can have them like actually like labeled like
drawn on. Yeah, I think that would be better. These pictures are completely adequate. If we just add the measurements on
here, then you know, they can, they can see that. And that way, you know, we won't need this extra page here. And then for
the part that says design criteria designs may include, but are not limited to sports and inclusion of public works department responsibilities. Do
you want it to be like and or like? I feel like that reads like they can do sports, but then like throw in a truck or something, right? Like, well, like on one side of wall, they have sports on the other side.
They have something about the art department, like considering the athletic history of the building and its current use by the public works
departments, designs may include. Either or both. How
about we just say artists may consider the athletic history of the building and or its current use by the Public Works Department. Period. Okay. And
then we could say, you know, but anything related to Tarpon Springs, you know, yeah, it's just the committee's preference. Yeah. And I'm not really sure,
you know, it needs to necessarily harken back to that, but artists may want to consider the athletic history of the building and its current
use by the public works department. I think that explains it pretty well. Yeah.
Artists may consider la la la la. And then we could say
designs may include these elements. Include these.
Elements. Or. Other facets,
other whatever of. Tarpon Springs. History. And or
lifestyle. Can you just read that sentence into the microphone so that I can? Artists may consider the athletic history of the building and its current use by
the Public Works Department. Designs may also include. These may include these elements or other facets of Tarpon Springs history and or lifestyle. That
makes sense. Yeah. Do you want to put the word history or just Tarpon Springs? Community and lifestyle community like that?
I'm just, you know how we've gotten a little, you know, with the H word, right? Like because it will come back to haunt you. And we've already said history of the building. Do you want to
say like, yeah, Tarpon representing the Tarpon Springs community, these or other elements represent. I like that
representing. The Tarpon Springs community. And
lifestyle. Okay. Artists may consider the athletic history of the building and its current use by the Public Works
Department. Designs may include these elements or other. Or
other designs. Designs may include these elements or other. Themes. Themes representing the
Tarpon Springs community and lifestyle. Okay, I'm going to read that all together. Yes. Okay. Artists may consider the athletic history of the building and its current use by
the Public Works Department. Designs may include these elements or other themes representing the Tarpon Springs community and lifestyle.
Awesome. Is everybody good with that? Okay. Project timeline. Okay, so this would be we need
to extend it, right? Since May is gone. Get them to us no later than. So our next one is
August. Do you want to stay with the deadlines that you have for the storm drains? Yeah, yeah, let's do that. So
submissions must be received by ten, 5th October 510 five, and then we can review them at the October meeting. Okay. And that would that would need to be
added in here because it's not in it's not added. Okay. We can add that. And then mural is due to be completed by or is it
February 1st? First and artist notified by October 21st. Okay. Let's see. That should be
enough time to paint that mural. Oh yeah. Well if not, you know. Yeah, we can have a couple of questions. Yeah. Back to Mr.
Farrell. How many months did they have to submit their their first occult artist. How many months were they given to a deadline for submission was May
15th. How many months was that? Did they have to get it to us three or 4 or 5 months? Was it. Was that the. I feel like it
went out maybe early in the June 2026. How it went out or where it went, I cannot tell you. Okay. So I do feel like
not a lot of people saw it. Okay. So with that being said, now we're going to do another one. So for Mr. Farrell, being that he was prompt, he
submitted his his, he submitted his application on him. Are we going to ask him to resubmit in accordance with what the new updates on this is? Because he
submitted a whole bunch of stuff, but he didn't submit in accordance to what we're looking for. As far as that building the new verbiage that you just put in there. So will he be given he's going to
submit new artwork him in particular. So for that, that, you know, like you guys can decide because I can contact him and say, hey, we got your
submission. However, it was the only submission to the PAC is extending the call to artist yet again. Here's the new one. Here's the new one. The public
Art Committee would like to see your design specific to Tarpon Springs now. Yeah, like because I can tell like we can tell him
to write. He was very vague in his right, right. It said, you know. Takes the immense time it takes to research and develop a
tailored color concept. Blah, blah, blah. I understand what he's saying. I don't want to take the time to do that if I'm not going to be doing the artwork. But, you know, if he
wants, if we get other for murals that that mural like this, this will have to be approved by the board, right? Like, right. So we could not. So we have to have something
specific. So he'll yeah, he'll be asked to submit two new murals according to the, the new verbiage. So that's that that's a change for him when you if you can talk to him because I think we should at
least give him a conversation. Oh yeah, I'm going to call I will contact clarify with him on the wall specifications as to where these where these two murals are going to be located
when he submit them, like if he included that side wall, right. Okay. The other other part is being that we don't we don't entertain lodging. Maybe he can
give us a new estimate because that lodging, he'll, he'll come down in some of this financial stuff that he's putting here. So his, his 36,000 will drop. It'll come down. So kind of
give him an opportunity to, to do that. Yeah. Revise mural. Ask him if both the side and the wall are included. Right.
And and something more pre and post production we can do on a more cost efficient basis through through our guys. Is that what you said the the
primer. Yeah. We'll check with them. Yeah. So the primer and then the sealant. Because, you
know, the labor part of both of those is quite high. And I understand that. But if we've got people already on staff who can do that, and we can just pay for the, the materials, we
try to save two. So now do you want to put in the call like transportation and lodging is not considered part of your budget? Yeah, I think we should.
I think we should. Maybe we can put like prep and ceiling to be handled by the city and lodging and transportation are not
covered. Artist responsibility. Yeah. Artist's responsibility. That's a great way to put it. So essentially what we're
asking for is design. Materials and labor. That's what that's what our edict says we can pay
for. Okay. Okay. Okay. And they can submit up to two, three
designs. And Brandon will be removed for yeah, submission. Okay. And we'll be more
specific with the photos and the dimensions. Yeah. I think and, and the new pictures, because those are, those are
very those show everything that they would need. You could put the dimensions. Dimensions on that. You really only need
these bottom two here. Really? Yeah. But it's nice to the straight on one is nice to see the full length of it. Yeah.
Excellent. So yeah, those, those three pictures with the dimensions included in the picture. I think we'll get it down to where it needs to be.
And you know, a conversation with the. Ferrero. Ferrero
Rivera yeah. One thing. This says the city requires liability insurance. And so
that might be something that you might think about if they're submitting designs to go ahead and put in the certificate of insurance
coverage, I think we should say, please note that the city requires artists to have liability liability insurance. Yeah, because not all liability
policies are alike. Yeah, but some kind of way you got to tell them in case we ask for it. You have to be able to provide it. Right? I mean, this this makes it sound like the city requires liability. Okay. Well,
who's, you know, we have to make it clear that the artist needs to have liability insurance available upon request if we need to see it. Yeah, yeah. I don't think that
every artist needs to submit it. Like, if they know that it, you know, you get selected, you have to have this, you have to prove. Yeah. I mean, because an artist who's new may not have
it, but if they are selected, they'll get, they, you know, this will say you, you have to have it at the time of. Yeah. Application. Yeah. I mean, you
know, during the artwork. Right. Okay. Okay. So. I feel like if yeah, if you want to make a motion to accept all those
changes, however, I'll work with Jean to get it all in one document and I'll send it to each of you, okay. Individually. And you can reply yes. And if I
get all yeses, then we'll send it out. Great. And I just like I'll send it out, but like, I want to, you know, encourage
you all to like. They're, they don't want lots of city Facebook pages and stuff like that. So, but if you're on it,
like you could join public art groups, you know, like look up like Florida public art and see how that you can share it on
your own page, right? Like I, because, you know, if you have artist friends on your network and you share it, they might be able to see it. But also too,
if you're in groups that are specifically for public art, you can share that there. I also Tarpon Springs Happenings
Facebook page that I think on Mondays you can do solicitation or whatever, but, but also to me as an interim director, like I can, we can take this
initiative to also post it on Tarpon Arts and share the word, which didn't happen a lot, but I feel like we can definitely use our avenue to do that. Yeah,
excellent. I think that's a that's a great plan and we should, you know, I, I personally never go on Facebook unless I'm looking at something
for my band, but this is something that I would, I mean, I do have a Facebook page, so it's definitely something that I could use it for. Yeah. Going
and finding. Do you want to make a motion on that one? Yeah. Now just this is just I'm not allowed to make motions. Right,
right. Yeah. Okay. So can we get a motion to move forward with the call to artists with changes? I'll make a motion that we move forward with the
changes on the call to artist. Do I have a second for the bleachers? For the bleachers? Excuse me? Second. All Right.
Tiara? Patella. Yes, miss. Yes, miss Taylor. Yes. Beautiful. Perfect. Great. And, Megan, you're going to reach out to Michael and discuss the new
things. And. And what we've talked about. And, you know, he's more than welcome to also watch the the video of our meeting so he can get. Yeah. And I told him when he
submitted it, I let him know that we were meeting today and it would be discussed. So if you're watching Michael, I thank you for your submission.
Yeah. And, and just let him know that, you know, we want him to have every opportunity to, you know, get the same consideration as everybody else. And, you know, in order to do
that, we would need some kind of rough rendering of his ideas. So. Okay. Moving on to the Dorset Park Black Heritage
Project sculpture update. That was moving the panels, right? Yes. So there are photos attached to that and it was
what it currently looks like. So we're. We're pleased as punch now everything is awesome.
I would say yes because with the new old city manager, this project is complete. Like there will be no changes moving forward. Excellent. Just so you guys know. Okay, so and I do
appreciate the city coming out, having employees take the time to listen to our requests in the community about moving these pictures around because we didn't take it, we didn't we
didn't take it lightly. This means a lot to us. And that in in the Union Academy neighborhood. So we do appreciate you moving those pictures around. And also, one of the workers did because I
went out there every time they came, one of the workers did say the mural to me looks looks great. Some things we just not going to be able to do anything
about because I think it's just part of nature. If you get real close to it, because him and I were standing close to it and he can see the different. What
do you call that when a picture start getting old and start cracking. Yeah. The cracking crack. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, not defacing the pool. It's not it's not defacing it. So I told
him probably let's just stand back. Well, and murals, just like billboards aren't meant to be looked at. Close up. They're they're meant to be looked at from afar. So that's the only
thing. But if you stand back, it looks nice. Yeah. Because it's patina or whatever you call that stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And it looks nice and it's intact and yes. Not scuffed up
or anything. So that's great. That's excellent. Okay, so we're going to put a pin in that one and say done, done.
And the last old business is the PAC fund budget update and developer contributions. All right from Hennessy. So we do have some changes of course
because we've been making things happen. Yeah. So the projected balance in September
30th 2025 was $213,809. Our revenues through yesterday, June 9th, 2026 are $5,457. Our
expenditures through the same date yesterday are at 11,900 or not $992. Excuse me. And so
then we have a projected balance of $208,174. And the majority of the expenditures were artist payments, both for
the honorariums, for the illuminated art boxes, as well as the storm mural, storm drain mural payments going through. And then the remainder is the
edits that were made to the Dorset Park mural and the panels that were on the Black Heritage Project sculpture.
Terrific. All right, so that 208 $208,174, like if you think about the two projects, the bleacher building and then the
economic building that we're about to talk about, right? Plus, the more storm drains, plus the more storm drains like the these, especially the murals. Yeah, will definitely
come from your PAC fund. Right. Of that you have that 208,000, correct? All righty. Thank you
for that. On to new business economic development building mural project call to artists. So this is Katy's project. But first I apologize because with
the transition of Brandon leaving and me taking over and all the things, I did not get this out, but I did get it written up and now we can kind of go over it. Okay. With the
same plan of getting this out in a timeline. Okay. Excellent. So call to artists painted
mural on economic development building. Oh yeah. I remember this one with the photo that
has been up there for a while. Yeah, I read through this and it looks good. Do we need to
adjust any of the time? Deadlines on here? Yeah, the for this one, I had the same submission date of October 5th, but I put a little bit more
hurry on their completion date. So you can totally change that. We can edit that if you'd like. Okay. And also please, you know, like same language, we can change that. Artists must
provide the liability insurance, same language as the other one. Yeah. And also, I think, you know, on this one, on pretty much all of them, I think up to
three designs, unless there's a reason why we only want one. So up to three designs submit up
to. Three mural designs. Please note that the city requires artists to have or carry
whatever language is, you know, legally required. But artists to have liability insurance, it says it in here. It says that the city requires liability insurance. Yeah, because we
need to make sure that it's clear that the artist has to have it. So submit by October
5th, notify by do the same. Do we want to notify him by the
same timeline? 14. I think. Yeah. October 21st, I think. October 21st. October 21st. Yeah. Notified by October 21st
and complete by February 1st and weather permitting. Yeah. So we you're getting rid of that December 31st thing. Yes.
It's February 1st. Yeah. 2027. And this one, will you also be mentioning that the travel expenses is on them. We don't. Yes. Yeah. I think I'll include
that same language. Yeah. I think that should probably be, you know, small print on all of the artists call to artists going forward, particularly on
murals. And I think when we spoke to Karen, she was okay with whatever we decided how, how it will be voted on for it to look like. And that would be
a picture or what's the other type? Yeah, the design criteria. We welcome artists to consider the beautiful scenery of the Spring Bayou, Craig Park, and the events that happen in the park to be incorporated into
the design. The previous mural was a historic photograph of the area. Alternate versions are welcome to be incorporated into the artistic design, but it's also, what is it, the
other art that that's like pop? You know, like pop? Yeah. What's the name of that art? Pop art. Okay, okay. You got it.
Okay, so maybe we can, we can add that there too, that they can have that option, that not just historical pictures or something, but not, not. Well, I think an application of a
historical photograph is not really our purview. So what I think we're asking for is a, a design. Yeah. Design of the how,
the, how, the, how it used to look or it can look like, like a pop art. It doesn't have to be like an actual building. It
could be pop art. You know, something, give them the freedom to give us something that, that we in different form. Right. I think they would read
that anyway as like, because not every artist does pop art. Like a lot, a lot of artists are more like, right, well, we don't want to do a lot more like abstract, you know, that
we, they might do something we don't want to. Yeah. We don't want to give them like a theme and they will provide it in their way. We just want to say, consider the scenery events
that happen. I don't even know if we need the. The previous mural was a historic photograph of the area. We're trying to. In that in that previous photo,
we're trying to see what, what, where we used to be at in the olden days. And now we've moved up into today's times. So a change illustration of a time
change because that was like stick art back then. But but now times have changed. The bayou has changed. A lot of things have changed. So
economic development, growth in the city, how they have they improved the city? Well, just because it's on the economic development building doesn't
mean it has to. Well, it was a that's what they was talking about. Kind of like the economic development building. You know, what, what is economic development stand for? Well, Karen definitely does not
care that it has anything to do with economic development. And remember, this building might get knocked down. Right. I think it's more important that it's a like a nice. Thanks,
Megan. Yeah. I mean, I don't know when, but I know it's been discussed right in a lifetime. But yeah, I think, I think let's just leave it. I would like to take out the previous
mural is historic blah blah, blah, and just say, you know, we welcome the artists. Consider the beautiful scenery of the Spring Bayou, Craig Park and the events that happened in
the park as well as I mean, I think that's all we need to say. A previous scenery of how to how to old buildings of
historic bayou area looked well, I, I would like to steer clear of directing what the artists come up with, because the more
we direct it, the less you know, we just want them to be honest. Yeah, we just want to we don't want to submit a picture that that's not relevant. Well, what's relevant, you know, I
mean, if as long as it fits the area, I mean, that's our job to look at what they submit and say this isn't relevant or this doesn't fit the area. Right. It's up to them to express
themselves with their art. I think we put in there, the previous mural was a historic photograph and alternate versions, because it was mentioned that someone wanted
to see like an artistic rendering of the old bayou. So like, it's not a photograph, but it's more like a painting of the of that space in old
times. Right. Well, why don't we say that's why I believe that that was in there. We welcome artists. Consider consider the history can use word history. You. Well you can.
History of the Spring Bayou. Craig Park, the beautiful scenery and historic uses. Historic. Previous use or so.
They're also going to see this picture and be like, what is that? And so it is going to tell them like, hey, the previous mural that's on there is a historic photo and you can
kind of kind of go off of that, but in an alternate way. Right? Yeah. That's what, what that was what I was getting out of Karen and Katie and that's I
agree. Well, I mean, if. We have, if you guys want to go with that, I, I just don't think it's relevant to asking an artist to create a mural for
this building in this setting, but it is there and they're going to see it in the thing. So if you want to explain what's there now. Because
you're not exactly asking them for something that has to do with history or just like, hey, if you want to provide an alternate version, that's up to your brain to create and submit.
And it depicts the, the bayou, it depicts the city in those times. Well, this to me, this reads the previous mural was a historic photograph. Alternate
versions are welcome to be incorporated into. The design tells me as an artist that you want somehow that this. This old photograph to be
incorporated into the design. And I'm saying that's putting a limitation on. Or you can add the word like. Alternately, the previous mural was because the first line is pretty much
telling them, look at the park by. You got an idea of what? But I'm just going off of what you know, like Karen liked the. You like the. I know the old
new city manager likes the mural that's currently there, although it's like old and faded. So it's not technically a mural. It's a photograph. Right. So, you know, there's a
difference between a photograph and, and but they have a. Right. But we're not asking them to submit a photograph. It's just alternate versions of go from
old to new with the imagination. They can go from how it used to look like this in today's time, how we've come forward in time. Okay. But the department, my
only concern is that the more we try and direct things, the less willing the artists might be if they don't understand what we mean by this, because
we've had a lot of discussion about it. But as somebody just coming in and reading it, I can see that that was an old photograph. I just don't know what alternate versions are welcomed to be incorporated
into the artistic design. I don't know what that means. Designs of the spring take pictures of anything you want. I mean spring by you. But we're headed for something that looks like the Spring Bayou economic
development, what that department stands for. So we're trying to incorporate the department usage, not just a picture on a building, because that's economic development and it shows growth in our in our
community from yesteryear, but also to like the storm drain murals was a very specific it has to be only rain down the drain. We got a lot of submissions, Bleacher building
kind of vague. We got one submission. So some direction like doing something like doing something, some kind of direction. Because it's also like, what are people want to
see, you know, because like we have to consider, like we might get some like artistic thing that comes in and you might show it to the board and they're like, no. So I like, I
don't want to limit it at all, but like, just that I feel like that last line is very vague while also incorporating what Karen kind of asked for. Katy
was desiring as the maybe we could just be more specific, like another. Another option is to. Because you can. We can also write in there like
photographs are not accepted. Yeah. I mean, I would say instead of it sounds like you're talking around what you're trying to say here. If
you say, you know, one concept could encompass past, past to future, past to current changes throughout the bayou's life or
economic development. Like if that's what you're trying to say, then let's say that and not be vague about it because you had the right on the head.
Yeah. Okay. So if that's what you're trying to say, then let's say. So develop that sentence right now before we leave the room. Yeah. So what were, you know, what were you trying to say? You're saying
you just said from old to new. Okay. One possible concept. Did you start off with a photograph
and have was a historical representation to take out the word photograph? I don't know, I wouldn't even I would just mark off. The previous mural was a historical photograph of
the area that that's evident. You can look at it and see, you can look at the picture and see sort of, but one. Excuse me,
excuse me, why can't we just put. We welcome artists to consider the history and beautiful scenery of the Spring Bayou Craig Park and leave it at that because the history. We
don't want them to get stuck in history. We want to come from history to current day. So we we're doing both becoming from timeline. Good point. One
possible consideration. Is the transformation. Of the bayou.
Spring, spring. Bayou. And Craig Park. Throughout. RUGHOUT.
Hey, you're on speaker. Did you want to add something? Oh no, I didn't know. I speaker I would have been there all day. No, I just wanted to talk to you. I
guess I wasn't calling your number. Now I know what your cell phone is. And when do you want to get together? How about I'll call you after the meeting, or you can stay on the phone
and listen and you can chime in if you'd like. Okay. Yeah. I was on the phone for most of it, but weird. Okay, okay. I should've called your cell phone in the first place. This
is my cell phone. I know I should have called it in the first place, and I would have gotten a hold of you and listened in on the entire meeting. I was listening in on YouTube. Yeah. Okay. Okay, well,
now we can hear you. So if you have anything to say, just raise your hand, okay? I just wanted to say to everybody, thank you for reviewing that.
Call the artist. I really appreciate it. And I'll get get it revised as soon as possible. And there's one other artist
that did some work in Dunedin. I can't think of his name right now, but I want to get it to him. I guess he's got a reputation for being. I sent it to him. You gave me that guy's
name and I sent it directly to him. Okay, good. Yes. For sure. We'll want to send the new one to them too. For sure. Thanks, everyone. I'll just be here
quietly. Okay, so one possible consideration, one possible design consideration. Could be. Can I time you like or time out
because like, right. You don't you want to be vague or like you don't want to be specific, but then you're saying one possible consideration is and you're like kind of telling them right there, you know what
I mean? Well, that's because that's what you're trying to do with this. I'm just trying to be specific about what what is being asked for. If that was specifically what was asked for
is the transformation from the past to the present of that area to be represented like economic development, then we should we should say this is an
option. What was asked for by Karen was to consider the Spring Bayou, Craig Park
manatees. Just what is represented out there. Okay. Like that really came from Karen. She was open to what is on the building. Okay. And when
I spoke to Karen, she, we we spoke about the same thing. I agree with you on that. But we also spoke about from, from where we came from to where we are now. So you can see the
difference with the city used to be like versus what it is now. So the park, the Spring Bayou has changed a whole lot. Okay. So I like, I just think
you should eliminate the word like one possible consideration. Like artists are encouraged to consider like the nature of Craig Park, the Spring Bayou
events that have occurred in the community. Okay, we welcome artists consider beautiful scenery is Bayou Craig Park and
the events that happen in the park, as well as. As well as the transformation of Spring
Bayou and Craig Park over time. That sounds that sounds great. Excellent. Okay, so we welcome artists to consider the beautiful scenery of the Spring
Bayou, Craig Park and the events that happened in the park, as well as I'm going to say. As well as the
transformation of Spring Bayou Craig Park over time. How about the transformation of the area? We don't need to repeat all that. The area over time. Over
time. Yeah. And that's it. Yeah. And there I don't think it's on here. But do you want to add the mural can cover the entire
wall or a portion of it. Yeah. I think that would be important. Yeah. And what if we stick to that square if we stick to that square? Because if you money
wise, if the if the future, the building is going to make possible possibly go away, you want to put a lot of money into the wall. So this little square
that's on there now is not the whole side of the building, right? Everything should be contained in that little square that's on there now, but not the whole. Okay. When she was
here, I thought I thought that was up to the artist to say, yeah, it could be the whole wall, could be the whole wall or could be. But the building, the whole wall is more money.
And if you're going to tear a building down in ten years, you don't want to put a lot of money into a building you're getting ready to tear down in ten years. So if somebody submits, if they submit
something, that's the whole wall and it's affordable. Yeah. And cover the whole wall down here on the bottom right here. Yeah. That little square is not the whole wall. So if you talk
about the whole wall, you're looking at a whole a bigger dimension than what you're just looking at in that square, right? Yeah. Okay. And so we have the measurements of the whole wall and the existing
mural. Yeah, the working area. So they can choose the area that they yeah, we could say please indicate artists should
indicate the size. Yeah. The area. Okay. Any other gene. Do you have any other suggestions
for the economic building mural called artist? Oh, I know, it's fun. No, I guess something related to credit card because
it's so close to their. Okay, we have Craig Park in the. For
ideas but also. Okay. Thank you. Excellent. Okay, I think I think that should do it. Do we want to do a motion and second,
to approve with these changes and get it out. Okay. I'll make a motion to approve the changes and get the call to artists
sent out for for the economic development building. Second. So. All right. Chair. Yes, Miss
Taylor. Yes, Miss Hickey? Yes. Great. Our 2027 is going to be hopping. Yeah I know right. We're going to start it off
with a vroom vroom. Okay, final new business, public art, business cards. Okay, so if you see the last page of your
booklet, Don made a great example of a public art business card. I checked with the city attorney and he just wanted to make that. It was
clear that you all agree that you can have a business card to represent that you are a member of the public Art committee, but you agree that in no way of
you distributing that card to anyone, that you are the sole decider, that any discussion of business will be, will come to
the public Art Committee for committee decision. Right. And I believe he discussed that in in the Sunshine Law presentation too, about how,
you know, you're you're not representing that you can you're making, you know, concessions or agreements or anything like that outside of the official yes, business. So
yeah, 100 cards are $25 basically. And we order cards from Vistaprint takes eight days. Okay. So if you guys look
at your design, the only question I had was, do you think if we're going to get 100 cards, I'm not sure how quickly I'm going to go through 100 cards, but I don't I think
they'll last longer than the end of the year. So do we want to have upcoming meetings or we just want to say upcoming pack meetings? City hall, second floor media room at 2 p.m. open
to the public. We encourage you to come maybe check the website for upcoming dates rather than, you know, I'm just trying to think maybe we should make it
more evergreen. Also too, if you all want a card. You could just kind of make it a vague public art committee member
card. Yeah. And then like, if you give it to someone, you could always write Don. Yeah. And Martha could write. Martha. Yeah. I mean, it does. However, it does have your email and
phone number on there. So on that note, if we all get a card, then can you have a email that's coming back to you, a city number on here that they could, when they reach out,
they're reaching out directly to the city. They're not reaching out to individuals. Well, the point in me wanting this card is so that I can reach out to say, art teachers
at schools saying, you know, we often have projects. Is it okay if I send you, you know, this project? Would your classes be interested in doing it? So to
have that connection. So I want them to be able to reach out directly to me and me directly to them to say, here's an upcoming project like the
future drain painting projects or, you know, other stuff, even murals or whatever. So I definitely want, but I don't have a problem if we have just
a generic front, and if we get it done on the mat paper, then we can write our own name and address and phone number on the back when we hand it out. Right.
Excuse me, I've designed many a business card in my career and never have any of the places I've designed them for. Put
dates of meetings. It's always been vague. And then if you have a special thing, they always give the information out
separately. So I, I think it's a great design except for the upcoming Pat meeting. So I would leave that totally off. Well, I would like to, I would
like to include the part about. We encourage the public to attend because we just don't get very much. But I agree, I don't I think putting the dates on there just kind of limits
when we can use it. Why don't we add a line that says meetings open to the public? Oh, it's on there. It's on there. Yeah. So meetings are open to the public. We encourage our
community to attend. I see it now so we can cross out the word upcoming. Have just packed meetings city Hall, second floor media room, 2 p.m. meetings are open to the public. We encourage our community to
attend. And then what if you put like the Civic plus wherever the wherever they can find the dates to those meetings. Whoops. Like they
didn't go to. Yeah, the civic plus the civic agenda where you go and you can see every meeting, but you put it on the card. Yeah, yeah. So also on
that, on that same note, Dawn, I, I totally agree with doing this because she's a chairman of this board. So I would like to ask if her card can look a
little differently than our card because her title should be on her card even she's a chairman of this board and her her email address and phone
number can stay on there, but ours will be more generic. We can just write our name on the card and your the email address on our cards is general going
back to you? The only thing. If I put my email address in, somebody contacts me and I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about. Right? Okay. Like that. Yeah, but they're
only, I mean, 24.99 for 100 cards if they're not limited by date. Yeah, we could have one for each of you. It's $75. Yeah.
And Jean. So actually, if Jean got a card too. So that would make the order 100. And then we wouldn't have to pay for shipping, which saves money. Yeah. And then basically we got
$100 order. And then each of you would have your own individual card with your name on it. Your email address and your phone number. And that's what a business card does. It
doesn't really give it's more of an introductory piece. Yeah. That's the purpose of it. Right. And then the specifics come later, maybe in a letter or
something is generally the way a business card works. Unfortunately, we don't have a staff to follow up with letters and stuff like that, but I do I
do want to make it clear to the public that meetings are open. If you've got ideas or whatever, community involvement is encouraged. So I would like to
keep that. But I agree dates, we don't need that on there. Yeah. And and you know, having it, I was going to I was thinking about putting, you
know, the second Wednesday of every other month, but then, you know, that could change. And that's, but I like the idea of putting the, the website
where they can go to find meeting dates. Right. Yeah, yeah. Because they don't know, they don't know it's a Wednesday. They know it's not. Right. So we're not. Yeah. And
you know, because that can change. Yeah. And normally a business card has an address of some sort. Right. So yeah, that I think I agree with that. Okay.
So if everybody can email me the way you want your name on there, I'll put member and just want to write my name down
while you got the paper in front of you. KATEIETOTM and
Taylor TAYLORO. My email address is heavenly, k4@gmail.com, ENLYK4, and the
number four, number four at gmail, heavenly, k4@gmail.com, gmail.com, and phone number
75436870. Okay, that's and that's going to be number your co-chair. Oh, geez. I am your co-chair. Mute that part. Don't
put photographer artist on there. You're gonna have a fan club. I don't want people calling me to do that. So don't do so good. Okay. So yeah, no,
I'll put co-chair. Yeah. And then member and for Jean's. Is Jean still on the phone? Yeah. But I'll we'll get you that info. Just just shoot me an
email and I'll get them put together. I'll use the Vistaprint template. Awesome. And send you a PDF. And then can you just vote on your
agreement that. You all agree to represent yourself individually and not the pack like some kind of motion like that? Okay. Do I hear a motion
to use these business cards to represent our membership on the meeting and not any official
decision making or gift giving? Ability or purpose? I make the motion for the business cards
to be printed as discussed. Second. All right. Chair. Yes, Miss Hickey. Yes. And Miss
Taylor. Yes. Excellent. Great. Okay. All righty. Yeah. Well, you know, I, I just I just never know when I'm like, I was getting my hair done one time.
