Agenda Item 4: Review of Open Action Items
A.Dedication Ceremony for New Public Art Works
Certain improvements have been noted as being required:
●The Youth at Play sculpture needs paving stones around the base.
These have in fact been acquired but have not been installed.
●Additional tasks include spreading wood chips around the bases of
several artworks, some additional landscape planting and removal of
unsightly bushes.
●Small (4”x6”) brass plaques with the name of the artwork, the year
created, the artist’s name and the donor name will be mounted on slim
standards for placement at each artwork.
Action: F. Tabatabai to contact Roger Burnell concerning the paving
surrounding Youth at Play sculpture in order to locate the pavers and
complete the installation.
Action: R. Aber to request D. Padovan to have landscapers perform the
requested site upgrades and to have the mounted brass plaques manufactured
(with approved naming).
Karen Druker, whose generous donation has underwritten the cost of the
three sculptures, has not committed to attend the yet-to-be scheduled
dedication ceremony.
Action: N. Andrews to speak to the artists whose works are to be dedicated
to settle on an agreed name for each work.
Action: G. Solomon to speak to D. Padovan, Town Clerk, to schedule
landscape improvements and signage installation, and to establish possible
dates for the dedication ceremony.
Action: R. Aber to convey to K. Druker possible dates for the ceremony and
to assist Ms. Druker’s attendance.
R. Aber mentioned that the restoration of installation funds mistakenly
charged to the LAH-PAC budget has been requested and is in progress.
B.“Our Town” Article
R. Aber reported that the article for the Town periodical has been submitted
and will appear in the December edition.
C.Marketing Flyer
R. Aber reported that the Town has agreed to absorb the cost of the
marketing flyer. J. Arnheim proposed that the town pathways map
incorporate icons depicting sites of Public Art to enrich the utility of the
map.
D.Annual Report
F. Tabatabai reported that her presentation of the 2016 PAC report was well-
received by the Town Council.
E.Innovators Event

Agenda Item 5: Overview Presentation of Proposed Labyrinth Project

Labyrinth project and the funding strategy. The suggested revisions would be
included in the final version intended for the TC presentation on 10/11/17.
Action: G. Solomon to present the overview of the proposal to the Town Council
at its October 11 meeting and report back the decision regarding application for
funding.
Agenda Item 6: Proposed Revision of PAC Charter
Members reviewed the proposed PAC Charter changes submitted by R Burnell to
the Town Council in 1st Q 2017 at request of the Town. Members proposed
maintaining most of the current charter as is, with two minor modifications and a
re-ordering of the charter elements.
