Interview with artist Dana Lynn Louis
The PAC spoke with Dana Lynn Louis and asked her to respond to the Artist Interview
Questions. Each commissioner took their own notes on her responses. In addition to her
responses, she requests, if she is selected, the adjacent property owners be included in very early
in the process.
Interview with artist Clark Wiegman
The PAC spoke with Clark Wiegman and asked him to respond to the Artist Interview Questions.
Each commissioner took their own notes on her responses. In addition to his responses, he noted
that $3,000 was not enough money for an artist to create two concepts.
Minutes of the November 7 special meeting were approved.
Review or proposed changes to AMC provided by Dave Kanner
The PAC reviewed the document provided by Dave Kanner following the PAC November 7
special meeting discussion.
Dale Shostrom, chair of the Historic Commission participated in the discussion.
Changes:
1) Be consistent throughout the document and use ‘structures’ do not interchange with the
word ‘properties’.
2) The PAC separated Section A into two parts. Section A to read: “The Public Art
Commission shall seek input from the Historic Commission prior to issuing a Call for
Artist/RFQ for public art to be sited within a historic district. Section B to read: The
Public Art Commission shall provide proposed public art concepts on structures
listed on the National Register of Historic Places or on contributing structures
within a Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places to the
Historic Commission. Delete sentence related to 45 days delivery as this sentence
already appears in Section G (formerly Section F) and move the sentence
1
“Historic Commission recommendations shall be advisory only” to Section G
(formerly Section F).
3) C1 (formerly B1) to read: Murals shall not be located on a building façade with a public
entrance.
4) D1 (formerly C1): it was suggested that the word ‘overwhelm’ should be
‘overwhelming’. Staff noted that change would also need to be made to 2.29.130.B.6
5) D2 (formerly C2): delete second reference to “windows, doors” eliminates redundancy.
Seltzer will incorporate the changes and provide a clean copy to the PAC for its review on
November 14 and a clean copy to Dale Shostrom for review by the Historic Commission at its
meeting on December 7. Seltzer will provide Shostrom with the PAC comments from the
November 18 meeting and Shostrom will provide the PAC with comments from the December 7
meeting. If it is determined that a joint meeting is needed, a date will be identified in January.
Seltzer provided the PAC with a map of the downtown historic district noting the structures that
are listed and contributing.
Meeting adjourned at 11:00 a.m.
