Art in Public Places Committee
Minutes of Monday, January 13, 2014
Location: City Council Chambers – Los Altos Hills, @ 7 P.M.
Meeting called to order by Karen Druker, Chair. Other committee members present: Roger
Burnell, Courtney Corrigan- Council Liaison, Patricia Kreager, Sherry Scott and Gail Solomon.
Minutes of December 2, 2013 were read by Pat Kreager. Courtney pointed out one correction
should be made on page 2 of those minutes, paragraph 7, second line, last sentence, should
read, “The recommended site of this piece would be in the Lobby of the LAH Town Hall.”
In the interest of time, Karen recommended we limit our committee’s comments to 2 minutes.
Old Business
The Dickey’s donated sculpture, “Uptown” will arrive soon. This piece was approved by the
Council on December 12, 2013. “Uptown” designated site is the LAH Town Hall lobby. A lengthy
discussion was held about this sculpture.
Motion by Karen Druker: To approve the title on the dedication plaque “Totem to our Ohlone
Roots” instead of the artist’s title “Stellar I,II,III. Seconded , Pat Kreager. Unanimously,
approved. Karen will present the new name at the 1-14-14 Council meeting.
Karen discussed the donated sculpture “Blue” which has been approved by the Council.
However, the Council is reconsidering the site recommendation (entrance to the Town Hall
campus parking lot). They are concerned about the size of the piece and that it would block the
view of the City Hall, etc.
Karen will further discuss “Blue” at the City Council meeting on January 14, 2014. Karen will also
present the sculpture “Star Gazer” at this meeting, and “Totem to our Ohlone Roots”, for
approval.
Karen discussed her efforts to provide publicity for LAHAPP. She stated that articles she has
written for the Town Newsletter had not been published. Roger will help Karen in this pursuit.
New Business
We discussed the necessity of setting up a master plan for our committee. Sherry Scott
suggested she could bring in a template for developing our guidelines, to the next APPC
meeting.
