Old Business: Karen reported that at the Council meeting of 5-15-14, which she and Maryam attended,
that APPC's 3 recommended sculptures and sites were approved, by the Council, for installation; "Blue,
in Edith Park, "Star Gazers" and "Chocolate" on the Committee's chosen sites of the Town Hall campus.

overseen during their installations, by a structural engineer.

Presentation by Sherry:
Sherry presented an overall explanation of creating a Business Plan which should prove beneficial for
our Committee. She discussed the pros of having such a plan which would be a more standard and

artists for RFQ's or RFP's and to set up parameters for our LAAPC desires and requirements.
