II. DISCUSSION
Railroad District Hub Artwork Submissions:
Prior to this 12/16 meeting, Commissioners evaluated and scored all submissions received on criteria
listed in the published RFQ. Scores were then totaled and averaged.
Commissioner Friend suggested that the median be used as the minimum cut score.
Two submissions fell below that threshold and were not considered in the following discussions.
Commissioners then evaluated the 5 remaining submissions, with the intention to select 3 finalists by
vote.
The top two submissions were approved unanimously.
The third highest received a 4:1 approval (with only Stallman casting a “no” vote)
Commissioners Longshore, Smith, and Bloom each volunteered to take one of the 3 finalists and
contact 3 of the provided references by phone.
All artists will receive notification of the commission’s decision in mid-January.
III. ADJOURNMENT: Meeting adjourned at 9:55 a.m.
