       3.  Public Participation/Presentation: N/A
       4.  Items for Discussion and Possible Action
            a.  Art Banner Exhibit 2022
                         i.  Participant certificates have been completed and are ready for distribution to artists
                        ii.  Banner pick-up continues
                       iii.  People’s Choice Awardee, Sue Krzyzanowski, will be invited to exhibit at Gallery 200; Heidi Kuharich will work with
                        all parties to coordinate
           b.  Art Banner 2023
                         i.  Buddy Plumlee is contacting Dave Exner as juror; immediate shortlist incudes Sara Phalen and Judith Horsley if
              he declines
                        ii.  Need to compile a general document of guidelines that any potential juror might use to assist efforts;
               Commission is eager not to produce a binding list of rules, but some helpful hints and general points to consider
                 while pursuing the task
                       iii.  Lengthy discussion on timing of 2023 Banners as Staff is promoting a major shift to the Art Banner timing in
                order to establish a banner schedule and insert another “round” of existing annual rollout; Commission is
              adamant that the display timing of the Art Banners not be altered
         It cannot be stated strongly enough, nor frequently enough, how opposed the Commission is to altering the scheduling of
      the Summer Art Banners. The banners are FOR the community and OF the community with a strong following FROM the
      community. The Commission’s stance is that to shift them from the summer months would be leveling a significant blow
     TO the community.
             c.  Summer 2023: Andy Warhol “PopCan” Initiative
                         i.  Discussion of proposed initiative continued with concentration on logistic possibilities, artist opportunities,
                     ability to incorporate West Chicago history (specifically the Campbell’s Farm), coordination opportunities with
                other City organizations
                        ii.  Additional ideas to further expand project to include other products in a “Warhol” presentation, especially
                recognized Hispanic products for cultural inclusion following a key point on missed cultural opportunity with
                  Frida Kahlo exhibit and perceived enthusiastic backing of Andy Warhol exhibit; special note: careful
                 consideration will need to be taken in light of copyright infringement with recognized consumer products
           d.  Tampico Mural Discussion
                         i.  Brief discussion to review 2019 origins of program; Dan Peck to research the paper trail, including contract
              between City and Tampico
                        ii.  Remainder of discussion tabled till January meeting
            e.  CAC Meeting Time
                         i.  Doodle Poll inconclusive; possibly move to second Thursday of month to simplify; Dan Peck to check suitability
              beyond CAC need (site/schedule conflicts)
       5.  Other Business: N/A
       6.  Adjournment: 8.30pm
