3. Discuss Proposal of Library Board Re: Landscape and lighting for loveevenmore
a. Rosemary spoke with Ben from the library regarding lighting/landscaping for sculpture.
He suggested we attend their June 24" meeting to present proposal. After discussion
with commission it was decided we would wait for their August meeting to give us
enough time to present various options and digital renderings.
b. One option for lighting would be to pull lighting from near by light pole to the
sculpture. Estimated cost for this would be $1500, with library paying for installation
and city picking up the cost for the light bill.
c. Some other suggestions were to add white stone gravel on base of sculpture,
approximately 4ft in radius, to give it the illusion of height. Installing Evergreen, Pine,
or Arborvitae trees behind the sculpture to make it standout against the brick wall of
the library. Adding lighting to create a strategically placed shadow against the building.
Anni will create digital renderings to get a visual of the stone and trees. Anni and Sara
will play with lighting at the site.
4. Other Business
a. Tampico Mural-Buddy made recommendation to create mural on aluminum panels.
The total estimate for the cost of the mural is $4750. (Plus $100 for artist plaque and
$100 to be added to future budgets for maintenance i.e. UV protection topcoat needed
every 2-3 years).
i. Housing and Food $500
ii. For the artist $3000
iii. Paint materials $700 (primer, topcoat, paint)
iv. Aluminum panels $550
Sara to ask John for quote on installation. Mural will be installed on back end of the wall.
Our time frame is middle of July since Juan will be at C.O.D. for 2 weeks. Artist Juan will
be using gallery as his workplace. Gail motioned to move forward with presentation to
public affairs and Anni seconded. Buddy and Sara to attend July 24" public affairs
