BUSINESS. 
          UH, FIRST ORDER IS PUBLIC ART APPLICATION FOR CONTINUUM, ALPHARETTA. 
          GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. 
          I'M GONNA KIND OF GET THIS STARTED A LITTLE BIT AND EXPLAIN WHAT WE WENT THROUGH, AND THEN I'M GONNA LET BOTH OF THEM STEP UP AND KIND OF WALK YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS. 
          UM, CONTINUUM ALPHARETTA IS LOCATED AT 5 5 5 5 WINDWARD PARKWAY. 
          IT'S A MIXED USE REDEVELOPMENT, APPROXIMATELY 52 ACRES WITH OFFICE SPACES, RESIDENCES IN A CENTRAL LAWN DESIGNED FOR COMMUNITY GATHERINGS. 
          BEN DANCE IS HERE WITH SOUTHWEST VALUE PROPERTIES AND HE'LL BE EXPLAINING AND TAKING YOU THROUGH THE PRESENTATION. 
          THE ARTIST IS DEANNA STERLING. 
          SHE'S AN AMERICAN CONTEMPORARY ARTIST AND A LOCAL ARTIST, AND SHE'S KNOWN FOR HER LARGE SCALE INSTALLATIONS AND PAINTINGS. 
          HER ART'S BEEN SHOWN ALL OVER THE WORLD AND INCLUDES MASSIVE INSTALLATIONS IN AND ON BUILDINGS FROM VENICE, ATLANTA, LONDON, NEW ORLEANS. 
          SHE'S BEEN, SHE'S BEEN TO A LOT OF PLACES, SO WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE POSSIBLY HAVE A PIECE OF ART HERE. 
          WE TOOK THEM THROUGH PUBLIC ART REVIEW. 
          THE PIECE WAS ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED TO MOVE FORWARD, APPROVED AS PROPOSED. 
          AND WITH THAT, I'M GONNA LET BEN STEP UP AND KIND OF WALK YOU THROUGH. 
          GREAT TO MEET YOU ALL. 
          UM, I'M BEN DAN WITH SOUTHWEST VALUE PARTNERS, UH, DIRECTOR OF DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY. 
          UM, AS KIM ALLUDED TO, WE'RE THE OWNER AND DEVELOPER OF THE 52 ACRES AT CONTINUUM, ALPHARETTA AT BASICALLY WINDWARD WEST SIDE. 
          UM, AND GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE SITE, UM, IF ANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH IT. 
          THE EXISTING BUILDING IS A 550,000 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE BUILDING, FORMERLY OWNED BY HEWLETT PACKARD, UH, NOW OWNED BY US. 
          UH, WE WENT THROUGH AN ENTITLEMENTS PROCESS IN 2022, RECEIVED FULL ENTITLEMENTS FOR THE SITE. 
          UM, THAT INCLUDED A REPOSITIONING RENOVATION OF THE EXISTING BUILDING, UH, WHICH WE CAN DISCUSS. 
          AND THIS WHERE DEANNA'S INSTALLATION WOULD WOULD GO, UM, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER OFFICE PARCELS, A MULTIFAMILY SITE IN THE HEART OF THIS SITE AND A SINGLE FAMILY SITE. 
          AND A LOT OF THIS KIND OF ON THE EAST END OF THE SITE RIGHT NOW IS, IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. 
          UM, AND THIS GIVES YOU KIND OF AN IDEA OF WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR, WHAT THE SITE WILL LOOK LIKE. 
          RIGHT NOW, WE'VE SUCCESSFULLY REPOSITIONED THAT OFFICE BUILDING, RENOVATED EVERYTHING, MADE A FOCAL POINT, WHICH WE CALL THE PUB. 
          THERE'S A PUBLIC PASSAGE THAT RUNS THROUGH IT. 
          WE CUT THROUGH THE BUILDING. 
          UM, SO ONE COULD WALK FROM THE CORNER OF WINDWARD WEST SIDE THROUGH OUR, THROUGH THE PATH IN THE WOODS HERE, UH, THROUGH THE PUBLIC PASSAGE AND INTO THE REST OF THE SITE. 
          OBVIOUSLY SOME OF THAT IS PREDICATED ON FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, VILLAGE GREEN, EVERYTHING ELSE. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THAT GOT BUILT UP FRONT. 
          SO TO CITE THIS, UH, WHAT THIS IS HOVERING OVER THE INTERSECTION OF WINDWARD AND WEST SIDE. 
          UH, THE KEY PIECE OF OUR REPOSITIONING AND REDEVELOPMENT OF THAT BUILDING WAS WHAT WE CALL THE CENTRAL BUILDING, 
          [00:05:01]
BUILDING C UH, WE REDID THE ENTIRE FACADE. 
          UM, OBVIOUSLY A PUBLIC PASSAGE CUTS THROUGH IT. 
          SO WE PUT OPERABLE GLASS, WHAT WE CALL NANO WALL SO THEY CAN STAY OPEN, PEOPLE CAN PASS THROUGH. 
          WE'VE GOT A CAFE, SO AMENITY SPACES IN THE BUILDING. 
          FUTURE RETAIL SITE RIGHT HERE. 
          UM, FOCAL POINT HERE, WINDWARD WEST SIDE RIGHT NOW IS A TRAIL THAT GOES THROUGH THE TREES. 
          UM, FUTURE WILL BE EITHER, YOU KNOW, COULD BE RETAIL, UH, BUT WHATEVER IT IS, IT WILL BE OPEN AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH HERE. 
          AND THEN DEANNA'S INSTALLATION WOULD GO RIGHT HERE ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE BUILDING. 
          UM, FOCAL POINT AT OUR PUBLIC PASSAGE ENTRY. 
          HUGE SIGNIFICANCE ON OUR SITE, THE WAY FINDING EVERYTHING ELSE, GUIDING PEOPLE IN. 
          UM, AND ALSO JUST BEING A PLACE PEOPLE COULD COME VISIT AND OBSERVE. 
          HERE'S A FEW PHOTOS OF THE PIECE OR OF THE SITE. 
          UM, AND THIS GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THE PASSAGE ITSELF. 
          UM, DOWN HERE YOU SEE THE SCALE. 
          UH, THE, THE LEFT PORTION OF THE FACADE WILL BE 23 FOOT FOUR TALL AND ABOUT 23 FOOT WIDE. 
          AND THEN THEY'LL SCALE DOWN AS YOU GET TOWARDS THE ENTRY WITH ANOTHER, UH, PIECE OF HER INSTALLATION. 
          UM, I'M CERTAIN MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH HER WORK. 
          UH, WE, YOU KNOW, I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE WITNESSING THE INSTALLATION AT GEORGIA TECH. 
          UM, OBVIOUSLY SHE HAS WORK ALL, ALL AROUND THE WORLD. 
          NOTHING I SHOW YOU HERE IN THESE IMAGES, COULD DO HER WORK JUSTICE. 
          BUT WE WILL GIVE YOU A FEW IDEAS OF WHAT THIS WILL LOOK LIKE ON THE FAC SIDE OF THE BUILDING. 
          SO, STANDING ON WINDWARD PARKWAY, LOOKING BACK AT THE SITE, UM, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE INSTALLATION IS. 
          UM, IDEA OBVIOUSLY IS AT NIGHT. 
          THIS GLOWS LIKE A BEACON. 
          GREAT PART IS, THIS IS IN THE PUBLIC SPACE OF OUR BUILDING. 
          SO LIGHTS ARE ON 24 7. 
          THAT WON'T BE AN ISSUE. 
          SO WE, WE LOVE THE IDEA THAT THIS IS ACTIVE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. 
          UM, AND THEN A FEW KIND OF SUPERIMPOSED RENDERINGS OVER TOP OF SOME REAL PHOTOS OF THE AREA IN QUESTION. 
          YOU CAN SEE A SHOT OF THAT PUBLIC PASSAGE THAT RUNS STRAIGHT THROUGH THE BUILDING AND HOW THIS SITS ADJACENT TO IT, CALLING ATTENTION TO THAT ENTRANCE, PLAYING A HUGE, HUGELY SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THIS PROJECT. 
          AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A CAFE INTERNAL WITH SOME OF OUR SEATING IN THERE. 
          AND HOW, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING LIGHT, HOW THIS WILL START TO CARRY THROUGH. 
          UM, AS I SAID, THESE IMAGES WILL NOT DO HER REAL WORK JUSTICE. 
          I WILL THEN TURN IT OVER TO HER TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MATERIALITY AND OR ANYTHING ELSE. 
          CAN I MISS AROUND? THANKS. 
          SO I BROUGHT A SAMPLE. 
          THAT'S WAY THAT, SORRY. 
          SO, OKAY. 
          THIS CAN BE, SO THIS BECOMES, UM, THERE'S ACTUALLY, THE WAY THAT THIS IS ATTACHED IS TO THE ACTUAL GLASS AND IT'S ATTACHED WITH A, UH, AN ADHESIVE THAT'S PERMANENT AND THEN LAMINATED WITH ANOTHER SURFACE SO THAT IT, BECAUSE PEOPLE, IT'S REALLY, I'M SORRY. 
          NOW YOU GET TO KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE AN ARTIST. 
          'CAUSE WE'RE ALWAYS CARRYING STUFF AROUND THAT'S TOO BIG, TOO HEAVY, TOO BULKY. 
          UM, SO THIS BECOMES ONE WITH THE ARCHITECTURE. 
          AND I ALWAYS SAY THAT THE ARCHITECTURE IS ACTUALLY MY SILENT PARTNER. 
          UM, SILENT. 
          LET ME, LET ME LET YOU ASK QUESTIONS. 
          OTHERWISE I'LL JUST TALK. 
          AND THAT'S NOT GOOD. 
          , DOES IT FADE? WHAT DOES IT FADE? UM, SO IF IT FADES, WHICH IT SHOULD LAST. 
          UM, THERE'S A PIECE OF MIND THAT'S IN VENICE THAT WAS INSTALLED IN VENICE, ITALY. 
          IT WAS INSTALLED IN 2000. 
          IT'S STILL ON VIEW. 
          IT, IT DEALT WITH ITALIAN SUN, ITALIAN HUMIDITY HIGH, ALSO AQUA ALTA HIGH WATER. 
          AND IT'S STILL IN GREAT SHAPE, BUT THERE, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT COULD FADE. 
          AND ACTUALLY THE HIGH MUSEUM, WHEN THEY PURCHASED THEIR PIECE, THEIR WORDS WERE THAT THEY HAD TO EXIST IN PERPETUITY FOR THE MUSEUM TO COLLECT THE WORK OF ART. 
          SO THIS ACTUALLY WILL EXIST AS A DIGITAL FILE. 
          AND CONTINUUM WILL HAS MADE THE COMMITMENT TO KEEP UP THE TECHNOLOGY. 
          [00:10:01]
SO WHEN I FIRST STARTED DOING THIS, I THINK WE WERE ALL STILL USING FLOPPY DISKS, WHICH WE KNOW HOW GREAT THOSE ARE AND USEFUL. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT I MEAN ABOUT KEEPING UP WITH THE TECHNOLOGY. 
          UM, IT HAS TO BE TRANSFERRED, UM, OR KEPT IN THE CLOUD AT LEAST. 
          IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD IN TERMS OF ARCHIVAL BECAUSE LET'S SAY THAT SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THE GLASS BREAKS, SO THEN THE TRANSPARENCY IS DESTROYED. 
          AND A NEW ONE IS IMAGE. 
          THAT'S THE WORD THAT WE USE AND, AND REAPPLIED. 
          SO IT'S ACTUALLY STILL THE ORIGINAL WORK. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY OTHER TECHNICAL QUESTIONS? OTHERWISE WE NEED A MOTION PRIOR TO DISCUSSION OF THE PIECE ITSELF. 
          I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT GRAFFITI. 
          I FEEL LIKE THIS IS IN A REALLY PUBLIC PLACE AND WOULD BE REALLY, UM, I FEEL LIKE SOME YOUNGSTERS MIGHT REALLY WANNA LIKE, PUT THEIR HANDS ON THAT PIECE OF ART AND CHANGE IT. 
          IS IT, IS THERE ANY WELL, IT'LL BE INSTALLED ON THE INSIDE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO ANY DAMAGES TO THE EXTERIOR GLASS, WHICH WOULD BE ANYWAY. 
          AND GLASS ACTUALLY IS THE, ONE OF THE MOST ARCHIVAL THINGS. 
          THE WAY YOU RESTORE GRAFFITI OFF GLASSES WITH A RAZOR BLADE. 
          SO, AND SOLVENT, IT'S ACTUALLY LESS POROUS THAN LET'S SAY, CONCRETE OR BRICK. 
          AND IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THE INSIDE, THERE'S ALWAYS SECURITY. 
          YEAH. 
          UH, SO WHILE IT IS A PUBLIC PASSAGE, WE HAVE 24 7 SECURITY THAT MONITORS THAT ENTIRE PIECE. 
          OBVIOUSLY BEING OUR BUILDING, UM, BEING AN INVESTMENT OF OURS BEYOND JUST THIS INSTALLATION, UM, IT'S IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO KEEP THIS PROTECTED AND ALSO MONITORED. 
          SO I, WE CAN CERTAINLY, AND I HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM SINCE I'VE BEEN STARTED DOING THIS IN 1999, I QUIT . 
          OKAY. 
          UH, WE NEED A MOTION. 
          CAN I ASK ANOTHER QUICK QUESTION? SO THE FACT THAT THE DEVELOPER, THE PROPERTY OWNER WILL TAKE CARE OF THE DIGITAL FILE FOR PERPETUITY AS WELL. 
          DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE ART IS ESSENTIALLY ETERNAL SO THERE'S NO PLANS FOR IT TO COME DOWN AND BE REPLACED? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SELL THE PROPERTY? UH, NO MA'AM. 
          NO PLANS FOR IT TO COME DOWN. 
          I MEAN, IT'S OUR, IT'S OUR IDEA THAT THIS REMAINS, WE'VE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE WORKED WITH HER TO CREATE A, THERE'S A, THERE'S A WALL RIGHT HERE THAT'S ADJACENT. 
          NICE BLANK WHITE WALL, PUT OUR PLAQUE THERE, MEMORIALIZE IT, AND JUST LET IT, LET IT BE. 
          FANTASTIC. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          I WANTED TO SHARE ONE OTHER VISUAL. 
          THIS IS HER INSTALLATION AT GEORGIA TECH AND I WANTED TO SHOW HOW IT CHANGES THE OTHER DAY WITH THE SUNLIGHT. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          I MOVE TO RECOMMEND THE PUBLIC ART APPLICATION FOR CONTINUUM OF ALPHARETTA. 
          DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND THAT. 
          IN TERMS OF COMMENTS, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT IS THE UNIQUENESS. 
          WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN ALPHARETTA AND I THINK IT'S IN KEEPING WHAT THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING AS WELL. 
          SO I DO APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR DISCUSSION. 
          SORRY. 
          SO I'M JUMPING AGAIN. 
          I WILL SAY THAT, UM, I HAVE SEEN THE, THE GEORGIA TECH INSTALLATION AND IT'S TRULY BREATHTAKING AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY. 
          UM, I'M THRILLED THAT, UM, A NEW DEVELOPER OR UM, PROPERTY OWNER AND A LOCAL ARTIST HAVE FOUND A WAY TO COLLABORATE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, ADD THAT FOR ME. 
          YOU KNOW, I'VE SHOWN ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT IT'S REALLY MEANINGFUL C PLACE TO LIVE. 
          NOT IT'S, IF THERE'S SOMETHING A LITTLE EXTRA THERE. 
          NO, IT'S GREAT TO SHOW IN VENICE, ITALY. 
          BUT DAN, IF YOU COULD STEP UP TO THE MICROPHONE, IF YOU COULD STEP UP TO THE MICROPHONE TO DELIVER THAT. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          THIS IS, DID YOU HEAR ME AT ALL? NO, IT'S A PUBLIC, IT'S FOR PUBLIC. 
          YEAH. 
          OH. 
          SO JUST THAT I WANNA SAY THAT IT'S VERY MEANINGFUL TO SHOW YOUR WORK AS AN ARTIST AND THE PLACE THAT YOU LIVE. 
          AND I'VE ACTUALLY LIVED IN ALPHARETTA SLASH MILTON. 
          I GOT SENT TO MILTON, UM,  FOR 38 YEARS. 
          SO THIS IS REALLY MY HOME. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          IF THERE IS NO MORE DISCUSSION, THE FLOOR IS CLOSED FOR DEBATE. 
          IT HAS BEEN MOVED BY COMMISSIONER 
          [00:15:01]
SME AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER, UM, JANAE THAT WE RECOMMEND THE PUBLIC ART APPLICATION FOR CONTINUUM ALPHARETTA. 
          I WILL NOW CALL FOR A RECOMMENDATION. 
          THIS IS NOT AN APPROVAL. 
          COULD YOU CLARIFY WHAT YOU JUST DID? MELODY, REMEMBER AT ONE POINT, IN FACT, MORGAN, IF YOU WANTED TO COME UP AND READDRESS THE RECOMMENDATION VERSUS THE APPROVAL, BUT ISN'T THIS ON, ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, IN WHICH CASE WE DO APPROVE? WELL, THAT'S A QUESTION AND IT, UH, YES. 
          THIS, UM, AS, AS YOU RECALL, THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT POWERS THE, UH, COMMISSION ACTUALLY HAD WHEN IT CAME TO, UH, PUBLIC ART AND, UH, ANYTHING THAT IS ON, UH, NOT ON PRIVATE PROPERTY STOPS HERE. 
          DO Y'ALL HAVE FINAL APPROVAL OVER THIS? OKAY, BECAUSE IT'S ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, THE ONLY THING YOU CAN'T DECIDE ON IS ANYTHING THAT IS ON PUBLICLY OWNED PROPERTY BY THE CITY OF ALPHA. 
          AND THEN THAT HAS TO GO FROM A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. 
          SO FOR THIS PARTICULAR PIECE, UH, THE, THE AUTHORITY STOPS WITH Y'ALL 'CAUSE IT'S ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. 
          OKAY. 
          THEN LET ME REWORD THE MOTION. 
          IT HAS BEEN MOVED BY COMMISSIONER SME AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER JANAE THAT WE APPROVE THE PUBLIC ART APPLICATION FOR CONTINUUM ALPHARETTA. 
          NOW CALL FOR A VOTE. 
          OKAY, THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. 
          CONGRATULATIONS. 
          WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE THE COMPLETED WORK, DIANA. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT, SECONDLY, UH, WE NEED TO ADDRESS THE PUBLIC ART REVIEW, UH, FOR THE WACKY WORLD MURAL IN WILLS PARK. 
          I'LL BE PRESENTING THIS THIS EVENING. 
          HELLO. 
          THE CITY OF ALFREDO CULTURAL SERVICES DIVISION PROPOSES A COMMUNITY PAINTED MURAL INSPIRED BY WACKY WORLD PLAYGROUND, COMMUNITY REBUILD MODEL, ENCOURAGING BOTH SKILLED AND UNSKILLED VOLUNTEER PARTICIPATION. 
          SO I'M GONNA PAUSE ONE SECOND. 
          NOT RE DIRECTLY, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING TONIGHT. 
          THEY'RE BUILDING WACKY WORLD REBUILDING AND MORGAN STEPPED AWAY TO BE HERE, SO I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          AND ALICE STONE COLLINS WAS SELECTED AS THE LEAD ARTIST AND INSTRUCTOR BASED ON HER EXPERIENCE DESIGNING MURALS, GUIDING COMMUNITY GROUPS, AND COLLABORATING WITH LOCAL ARTISTS. 
          SHE'S HERE THIS EVENING. 
          I WANNA ASK HER TO STEP UP, IF YOU DON'T MIND. 
          I'LL LET HER TELL YOU ABOUT HER BACKGROUND. 
          BUT YOU ARE A PROFESSOR AT, UH, I'M A PROFESSOR AT GEORGIA GWINNETT COLLEGE IN LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA. 
          AND SHE'S WORKED ON COMMUNITY MURALS. 
          SO WE NEEDED SOMEONE THAT COULD ACTUALLY DESIGN A MURAL AND THAT COULD ACTUALLY TEACH AND WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO PAINT THE MURAL ON SITE THAT HAD THAT EXPERIENCE. 
          THE MURAL DESIGN EMPHASIZES, UH, NATURE PLAYFULNESS COMMUNITY COMPLETING BOTH THE ADJACENT PLAYGROUND, COMPLIMENTING, EXCUSE ME, THE, UH, ADJACENT PLAYGROUND AND ALL WILLS PARK PARTICIPANTS. 
          SO IN DESIGNING THE MURAL, WE WANTED TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE PLAYFUL FOR THE CHILDREN, BUT THAT WOULD COMPLIMENT ANYONE THAT WAS COMING TO THE PLAYGROUND. 
          I MEAN, EXCUSE ME, TO THE PLAYGROUND AND TO WILLS PARK TO USE THE PARK. 
          SO WE WANTED IT TO, YOU'LL, YOU MAY SEE IT JUST DRIVING BY. 
          WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO BE INSPIRED AND ENJOY THE MURAL. 
          THE RETRAINING ROLE ADJACENT TO THE NEW PLAYGROUND IS 70 FEET AND ITS TALLEST IS 70 FEET IN LENGTH, AND AT ITS TALLEST, THE HEIGHT IS 4.5 FEET. 
          AND I'M GONNA KIND OF GO TO OUR VISUALS HERE AND THE CONCEPTUAL IDEAS. 
          THIS IS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT FOR INSPIRATION, THE NATURE, THE PLAYFULNESS, THE COMMUNITY PAINT, THE 70 FEET WIDE, IT'S SORT OF A, IT SORT OF SWIRLS THROUGH HERE AND THIS WAS EARLY ON AND THE GROUND IS LEVELED OUT. 
          SO THE TALLEST PORTION IS ABOUT 4.5 FEET AND IT'S, IT SHOULDN'T TAKE TOO LONG TO PAINT. 
          WE DON'T THINK THIS IS THE PROPOSED MURAL. 
          THE, 
          [00:20:01]
UM, AND I'M GONNA LET HER STEP IN AND KIND OF TALK ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT HERE. 
          HELLO EVERYONE. 
          UM, YES. 
          SO I WAS SENT SOME INSPIRATION MURALS TO LOOK AT, TO FORMULATE MY DESIGN. 
          SO I WAS THINKING ABOUT, UM, OBVIOUSLY THE PROMPTS THAT WERE SENT TO ME, BUT ALSO THE FACT THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE ENJOYED BY PARENTS, BY PEOPLE JUST WALKING THROUGH THE PARK BY CHILDREN. 
          UM, AND SO I WANTED TO THINK ABOUT PLAYFUL QUALITIES, BUT AT THE SAME TIME SOMETHING THAT COULD BE ENJOYED BY ALL. 
          UM, I WAS ALSO OBVIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE GOING TO BE PAINTING THIS. 
          SO THERE ARE ASPECTS THAT THEY WILL KIND OF FILL IN ALMOST LIKE A COLORING BOOK STYLE. 
          UM, IT'LL BE ALMOST DRAWN OUT. 
          UM, AND THEN THE SECTIONS THAT THEY WOULD PAINT WOULD KIND OF BE EDGED OFF. 
          SO I WOULD START THE EDGING FOR THEM AND THEN THEY WOULD BASICALLY STAY IN THE LINES. 
          IT'S ALMOST LIKE IF YOU OUTLINED SOMETHING AND THEN TOLD SOMEBODY TO GO AND FILL IT IN. 
          UM, AND SO THEY'LL FILL IN THE MAJORITY OF THE COLORS AND THEN, UH, MYSELF ALONG WITH SOME OTHER ARTISTS, CORRECT FROM, WE'RE GONNA HAVE OUR ART STUDIO ON THE GO-GO INSTRUCTORS COME OUT AND GIVE SUPPORT WITH THE COMMUNITY AND ALONG WITH CITY STAFF TOO, WITH THE, AT THE ART CENTER STAFF. 
          AND THEN I WOULD COME BACK AT THE END AND JUST MAKE SURE TO FINISH IT OFF, UM, BECAUSE I'VE DONE COMMUNITY PROJECTS BEFORE AND THINGS ALWAYS GET PAINTED THE WRONG COLOR  IN ONE SECTION OR ANOTHER AND HAVE TO JUST BE CORRECTED ON THE BACK END. 
          ALRIGHT, THIS NEXT PHOTO SHOWS THE HEIGHT AND KIND OF THE PROPORTIONS OF HOW THE WALL WILL GET LOWER ON, ON BOTH SIDES, THE PAINTING PHASES. 
          DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT? HOW LONG IT'LL TAKE? AND, AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UM, I THINK IT'S, I THINK YOU'RE SAYING JUST ABOUT A DAY, DO YOU THINK? UH, YEAH. 
          I MEAN, IT'S REALLY NOT A BIG WALL. 
          IT'S NOT A BIG SPACE AND, UH, YOU'D BE AMAZED AT HOW QUICKLY PEOPLE CAN PAINT  WHEN YOU GIVE THEM BRUSHES AND BUCKETS. 
          SO, UH, THE, THE OVERALL, THE THE FIRST LAYER WILL GO DOWN REALLY QUICKLY. 
          UM, WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO HAVE SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS CONTRIBUTE TO A SECOND LAYER, WHICH YOU WANT YOUR MURALS TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO TO THREE LAYERS TO WITHSTAND THE ELEMENTS IN GENERAL. 
          UM, SO YEAH, I, I REALLY THINK ONE DAY OF COMMUNITY PAINTING, WE'LL GET THE MAJORITY OF THE PAINT DOWN. 
          UM, AND THEN THERE'LL BE AN ADDITIONAL, UM, AT LEAST WEEK, UH, TO KIND OF FILL OUT THE REST. 
          WE, WE DO PLAN TO CALL ON ARTS ALPHARETTA TO HELP AS WELL. 
          AND SO WE'LL DO SOME FINE LINES WITH OUR ART STUDIO AND THE GOGO INSTRUCTORS IN RETTA. 
          WE, UM, WHEN WE TOOK THIS THROUGH PUBLIC ART REVIEW, IT WAS APPROVED WITH A MINOR MODIFICATION. 
          THERE WAS ONE POPPY FLOWER IN THE BOTTOM THAT NEEDED DOWN IN THIS AREA THAT NEEDED A SLIGHT VARIATION TO LOOK MORE LIKE A FLOWER. 
          SO THE ARTIST ALICE MADE THAT ADJUSTMENT. 
          THE OVERALL COST, AND THIS IS IN OUR OPERATING BUDGET, WILL BE ABOUT 4,500. 
          THAT'S PAINT, SUPPLIES, DESIGN, EVERYTHING ALTOGETHER. 
          AND WE, UM, WE'RE EXCITED TO MIMIC THIS AFTER WACKY WORLD. 
          UH, THE COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER PROJECT. 
          WE'RE TRYING TO DO THE MURAL THE SAME WAY. 
          WE'LL PUT IT OUT ON OUR POINT VOLUNTEER SYSTEM AND ASK FOR VOLUNTEERS TO COME OUT AND PAINT. 
          WE'RE HOPING WE WILL NEED TO SEND THIS TO COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL, BUT WE'RE HOPING TO GET, UM, OUR PAINT DAY IS MAY 2ND. 
          IT'S A SATURDAY. 
          SO THAT'S OUR TARGET GOAL. 
          AND DID I LEAVE ANYTHING ELSE OUT? I DON'T THINK SO. 
          DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WELL, FIRST, UM, I NEED TO ASK FOR A MOTION, WELL, I HATE TO DO THIS, BUT I AM GOING TO ACTUALLY MAKE A MOTION TO DEFER THIS, UM, TO, UM, TO WHAT, WHERE'S THE TERMINOLOGY FOR THIS, UH, TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING OF THE CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION BASED ON SOME COMMENTS THAT I'D LIKE TO MAKE. 
          I'M NOT SURE WE HAVE THE ROOM TO DEFER TO THE NEXT MONTH'S MEETING. 
          IF WE WANT TO TARGET A MAY WE, YEAH, WE'LL WE'LL BE PAINTING, WE'LL HAVE TO PAINT. 
          WE STILL NEED A, A MOTION TO MAKE SOME SORT OF DECISION TODAY THAT WOULDN'T INVOLVE DEFERMENT AND WE CAN ALWAYS DENY . 
          OKAY. 
          THAT MOTION, THIS IS JUST PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE. 
          IT DRIVES ME CRAZY TOO, OR, 
          [00:25:07]
YEAH, BUT, BUT TIMING'S NOT GONNA WORK FOR A DEFERMENT A IT, IT'S AN, I GUESS I MAKE A MOTION TO DENY, UM, WHAT THE WACKY WOOD MURAL AT WILLS PARK AS IT STANDS AT THE MOMENT. 
          OKAY. 
          IS THERE A SECOND? IS, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE CAN GET, UH, HEAD UP OR CAN I POINT OUT YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE GOT A SECOND. 
          THAT EXACTLY. 
          I'M NOT SURE WHY ROBERT DOES THIS. 
           OKAY, I SECOND THAT MOTION. 
          OKAY. 
          FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR DISCUSSION. 
          DO YOU HAVE ANY, UM, IMAGES OF THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE IN RELATION TO THE WALL? SO IN, I'M SORRY, IN TERMS OF THE WACKY WORLD PLAYGROUND VERSUS WHERE THE WALL IS GONNA BE AND HOW WE'RE GONNA PERCEIVE BOTH, WE ACTUALLY TOOK THIS PHOTO BEFORE THE PLAYGROUND WAS BUILT. 
          THEY JUST STARTED BUILDING IT. 
          WE, WE WEREN'T ABLE, WE DIDN'T GO BACK BY THE TIME WE HAD TO SUBMIT OUR REPORT, WE WOULD'VE HAD, I THINK WE WOULD'VE BEEN THREE DAYS INTO THE BUILD AND YOU WOULD'VE JUST SEEN A FEW POSTS. 
          IT WAS JUST BASED ON . 
          NO, NO, I UNDERSTAND THAT PORTION OF IT. 
          BUT SOMEWHERE THERE EXISTS A 3D MODEL OF THE PLAYGROUND AND YOU WERE SMART ENOUGH TO OVERLAY THIS ON THE EXISTING, RIGHT. 
          WHY DON'T WE OVERLAY WHAT THE EXISTING PLAYGROUND WOULD LOOK LIKE WITH RELATIONSHIP TO THE WALL? WE DID NOT INSERT IT INTO THE DRAWING OF THE PLAYGROUND, INTO THE RE THE ORIGINAL RENDERING OF THAT, WHICH IS, LET'S SEE, I THINK I HAVE A SMALL PICTURE OF THAT HERE THAT'S IN THIS AREA HERE. 
          THE TOP LEFT. 
          I KNOW THAT'S NOT VERY BIG, BUT THAT'S, WE DID NOT INSERT, INSERT THAT IN THERE. 
          IF WE NOT HAD OTHER OVERHEAD AERIAL RENDERINGS OF WACKY WORLD WITH MORE DETAIL OF WHAT WAS GOING TO GO WHERE. 
          I, I DON'T RECALL. 
          DO YOU, OKAY. 
          SO THERE IS CERTAINLY A RENDERING OF WACKY WORLD AND THERE'S A, IF YOU GO TO WACKY WORLD RIGHT NOW, DURING THE REBUILD, THERE'S A PICTURE OF THAT, I MEAN A RENDERING THAT SHOWS WHAT THE PLAYGROUND'S GONNA LOOK LIKE. 
          BUT WHAT IT DOESN'T, WHAT THAT RENDERING DIDN'T TAKE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION IS THE FACT THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY PUTTING A WALL, UM, ON THE, IF YOU, YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT ALL, LET'S SAY EVERYBODY KNOWS WHERE WACKY WALL IS. 
          OKAY? SO YOU'VE GOTTEN OUTTA YOUR CAR, YOU'VE WALKED UP WACKY WALL'S ON YOUR LEFT AND YOU'VE TURNED AND NOW WACKY WARD'S IN FRONT OF YOU IN THAT SCENARIO, THAT WALL IS IN THE BACK RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE, OF THE PLAYGROUND. 
          AND IT'S BECAUSE THE REASON WE HAVE A WALL, AND WE NOW, WE DIDN'T HAVE A WALL DURING THE, THE INITIAL RENDERING IS THAT WE DECIDED THAT THERE WERE FIVE TREES THERE THAT NEED SAVING. 
          AND RATHER THAN TAKE THOSE WALL THOSE TREES OUT AND GRADE THE WALL, I MEAN GRADE THE, UM, SITE AND TAKE THOSE TREES OUT, WE BUILT A WALL TO SAVE THOSE FIVE TREES. 
          AND THEN THAT WALL CREATED WHAT WE THINK IS THE EXCELLENT PLACE TO PUT THE MURAL. 
          SO WE JUST HAVEN'T DONE THAT. 
          I MEAN, IT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT WE COULD, WE COULD DO, YOU KNOW, ELECTRONICALLY, BUT IT, IT, IT, THE, THE PHOTO THAT YOU, I MEAN THE FLY THAT SHOWS THE SHOWS, THE WALL DOES NOT SHOW HOW BIG THAT WALL IS. 
          THE WALL IS IS A BIG WALL. 
          IT'S THAT SOMETIMES IT'S, I THINK ABOUT FOUR FEET TALL IN SOME PLACES AND IT'S VERY LONG. 
          SO, BUT IT'S, YOU CAN SEE IT FROM WACKY WORLD AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE IT FROM THE, THE TRAIL THAT LEADS BETWEEN TRACK WACKY WORLD AND THE, AND THE BASEBALL FIELDS. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE IN BOTH OF THOSE, UH, BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HELPS EXPLAIN IT, BUT THAT'S JUST, WE DID IT. 
          IT, I GUESS WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IS CONTEXT, RIGHT? I MEAN, WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS AS A FREESTANDING OBJECT WITH, WITH NO RELATIONSHIP TO WHAT'S AROUND IT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND IT'S, IT'S HARD TO JUDGE ITS RELEVANCE WHEN WE DON'T KNOW, DO WE SEE TREES? DO WE SEE, UM, STRUCTURE, PLAYGROUND STRUCTURE? WELL, IT'S CERTAINLY ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE, THE OF, OF, IF YOU'RE STANDING AT AGAIN AT THE ENTRANCE, IT'S GONNA BE ON, IT'S IN THE BACK OF THE PLACE. 
          BUT I DON'T WANT TO, I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO THINK, WELL, IT'S JUST IN THE BACK. 
          AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE, IT'S NOT THE BACK. 
          IT'S JUST WHERE THAT WALL IS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE FIVE TREES THAT WE SAVED. 
          BUT I MEAN, 
          [00:30:01]
THE, THE GOAL I WANTED, LEMME CLARIFY SOMETHING, I, UH, I MIGHT BE WRONG, BUT I THINK THIS WALL, WHAT THE, THE FUNCTION OF THIS WALL IS TO RETAIN THE SOIL THAT IS A DIFFERENT HEIGHT THAN THE REST OF THE YES. 
          UH, THE TERRAIN. 
          SO, UH, THESE WALLS ARE EXPENSIVE AND, AND SO IT'S TO RETAIN AND TO CREATE LIKE A TERRACE FOR THOSE TREES TO PROTECT THOSE TREES. 
          UH, SO THEY WILL NOT LOSE THEIR FOOTING, UH, IF THEY REMOVE ALL THE SOIL AROUND. 
          SO THAT'S WHY THAT COULD BE DONE THERE. 
          I DON'T THINK THE DEBATE IS THE NECESSITY OF THE WALL. 
          NO, I MEAN IT'S THE NECESSITY. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT THAT WALL WILL BE THERE, BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE IT PRETTY SOMEHOW , THE GOAL IS, IF, IF YOU DON'T MIND IF I KIND OF INTERJECT HERE, IF WE NEED TO DEFER, WE CAN, BUT THE GOAL WAS TO HAVE PUBLIC ART AS A PART OF THE GRAND OPENING INSTEAD OF AN AFTERTHOUGHT. 
          AND WHEN THIS STARTED HAPPENING, THIS WALL, WE JUMPED ON IT. 
          WE WERE LIKE, WE NEED TO BE A PART OF THE REBUILD. 
          WE NEED TO MAKE ART A PART OF IT. 
          SO THAT WAS THE EXPEDIENCY. 
          THAT WAS WHY WE DID THAT QUICKLY. 
          AND I DIDN'T EVEN, DID NOT EVEN OCCUR TO ME BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN, IT'S BEEN BEING REBUILT SO QUICKLY. 
          IT'S NOT LIKE A SITE THAT WE'VE COME IN AND, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THIS, YOU HEARD HOW IT HAPPENED WITH THE TREES AND EVERYTHING, BUT IF WE NEED TO WAIT, WE CAN DO IT AFTER THE GRAND OPENING, WE'LL BE PAINTING WITH THE KIDS ON THE PLAYGROUND AND THAT'S OKAY TOO. 
          WE CAN, WE CAN JUST KIND OF MARK OFF THE AREA. 
          SO WHATEVER, WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE FOR US TO DO ON THAT. 
          WELL, I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYONE ADDRESS ANYTHING ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE OF THE, THE, THE ARTWORK ITSELF. 
          I WILL SAY THAT IT HEARKENS BACK. 
          THERE'S A, YOU KNOW, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S STILL THERE IF IT AGED OUT, BUT THE BUTTERFLY UP BY THE GROVE. 
          AND SO I DON'T THINK IT'S WITHOUT AN ART PRECEDENT. 
          WELL, UH, FIRST OF ALL, YOU'RE VERY TALENTED AND IT'S NOTHING. 
          AND YOU WERE GIVEN A, A DIRECTIVE WHICH YOU CAME THROUGH WITH. 
          AND I APPRECIATE ALL THAT. 
          AND I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE COMMUNITY ART, BUT IT JUST, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A HIGHLY VISIBLE AREA, WHICH IS WHAT YOU POINTED OUT. 
          AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE REALLY EYE-POPPING AND CATCHING THERE MUCH MORE. 
          SO. 
          AND I, AGAIN, YOU DID WHAT YOU WERE REQUESTED TO DO, BUT AS MICHAEL'S ASKING, IF THERE'S A PLAYGROUND BEHIND IT AND IT'S FUN AND IT'S UPBEAT AND YOU WANNA CATCH THAT WHIMSY OF IT, I THINK THAT'S, I LOVE THAT ONE. 
          IF YOU GO BACK TO A COUPLE, YOU'VE GOT LIKE KIDS WALKING UNDERNEATH THAT, IT'S A REALLY, UH, THERE ON THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'S WHIMSICAL AND FUN AND IT'S DIFFERENT. 
          UM, AND SO I LOVE THAT. 
          AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT WHAT WE'VE ALREADY GOT GOING ON AT WILLS PARK, WE'VE GOT, HERE COMES THE SUN AND THE NOTE GOING THROUGH. 
          SO I THINK IT'S MORE IN KEEPING WITH THE WHIMSICAL, FUN STUFF THAT WE HAVE GOING ON RIGHT NOW IN, IN WILLS PARK. 
          SO WHAT I'D LOVE TO DO IS I WAS HOPING TO DEFER TO SAY, YOU KNOW, GIVE YOU A CHARGE TO COME BACK WITH US SOME OTHER IDEAS OF WHAT WE WERE THINKING. 
          'CAUSE YOU'RE SO CREATIVE. 
          OBVIOUSLY VERY CREATIVE AND I'D LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. 
          BUT THAT'S MY OPINION. 
          JANAE YOUR FACE. 
           LOOKS LIKE YOU WANNA SAY SOMETHING. 
          IT'S BEEN SAID, IT'S BEEN SAID. 
          THAT'S BEEN SAID. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO WHERE DO WE GO? YEAH. 
          IS THERE, IS THERE ANY FEELING KIM FROM YOU OR MORGAN IS WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAT WE GET THIS RIGHT OR THAT WE HAVE A PRESENCE AT THE GRAND OPENING? AS FAR AS IMPORTANCE? I, WE'RE NOT, STAFF'S NOT GONNA TAKE AN OPINION ON THAT. 
          IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE, THE THING ABOUT IT IS, IS CERTAIN FOR CERTAINLY WE DON'T WANT THE COMMISSION TO THINK THAT THIS IS YOUR ONLY SHOT AT HAVING A MURAL. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          IT'S NOT, IT CAN BE DEFERRED. 
          IT'S JUST THEN WE'RE GONNA BE PAINTING WHILE THE PLAYGROUND'S OPEN. 
          AND THAT HAS, THAT HAS OTHER THINGS. 
          KIND OF LIKE TRYING TO BUILD, UM, OUT WILLS PARK AND KEEPING IT OPEN. 
          IT'S A LITTLE BIT TOUGHER. 
          IF WE COULD PUT A FENCE AROUND IT AND BUILD IT, IT'D BE EASIER. 
          SO I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO THINK THAT THIS IS AN ALL OR NOTHING. 
          SO, UM, THAT WOULD BE A DECISION THAT THE COMMISSION HAS TO MAKE. 
          AND WE CAN, WE AS A STAFF AND, AND THE ARTIST, WE CAN ADAPT TO WHAT IT IS Y'ALL, WHAT, WHAT STEPS YOU WANT TO MAKE, MAKE. 
          BUT IF WE WANT IT, IF WE WANT THE MURAL, WHEN THE, WHEN WE OPEN THE PLAYGROUND IN MID, MID MAY, THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY. 
          'CAUSE IT'S STILL GOTTA GO TO COUNCIL. 
          SO IF WE DON'T, IF WE DON'T, IT'S NOT APPROVED TONIGHT AND GOES TO COUNCIL, THEN IT'S SIMPLY NOT GONNA BE THERE WHEN THE PLAYGROUND OPENS. 
          IT'LL BE A COUPLE OF THREE MONTHS AFTERWARDS. 
          AND THAT'S JUST THE DECISION. 
          THIS BODY WILL HAVE TO MAKE IT THAT. 
          IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT, THAT'S FINE. 
          DOESN'T 
          [00:35:02]
WE ARE NOT GONNA TELL, TELL YOU WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. 
          UH, THE, UH, YOU KNOW, THE MO THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO GET IT RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING. 
          SO WHAT Y'ALL DECIDE IS RIGHT, IS WHAT'S RIGHT. 
          'CAUSE THAT'S JUST THE WAY THIS THINGS WORK. 
          IS IT POSSIBLE? DO Y'ALL LIKE THE BACKGROUND, YOU KNOW, THE, THE AS PROPOSED ENOUGH? DO YOU SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDING IN THOSE WHIMSICAL ITEMS? IT NEEDS TO BE A WHOLE NEW REDESIGN. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, UM, ON MICROPHONE PLEASE. 
          I WAS JUST THINKING THAT THE STANDARDS THAT WE HOLD PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS TO, I THINK WE NEED TO HOLD THE CITY ACCOUNTABLE FOR AS WELL. 
          SO IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE APPROVING, 'CAUSE THERE'S NO IMAGES, WE WOULDN'T LET THIS GO THROUGH ON A PRIVATE PROPERTY. 
          THE ONLY REFERENCE THAT I CAN, UH, CONTRIBUTE WITH IS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING, MICHAEL WAS THERE ALSO ON, ON, ON THE SIDE AND THE COLORS OF THE, UM, UH, STRUCTURE STRUCTURES AND EVERYTHING, ARE THESE TYPE OF COLORS, VERY VIVID COLORS, UH, VERY LIVELY. 
          AND, AND UH, I MEAN I THINK THEY WILL PLAY VERY NICELY WITH, WITH THE, WHAT IT'S BEING BUILT THERE. 
          BUT, UM, I RESPECT, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO, I HAVE A QUESTION WHICH IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WALL, IT'S BUDDING UP INTO A PREFABRICATED STONE WALL. 
          IS, IS THAT A REASON WHY IS THAT STONEWALL STILL THERE? THAT'S IT'S A SITTING WALL FOR PEOPLE TO SIT ON. 
          IS IT TAPERS DOWN ON THE SIDE? IT ALLOWS FOR PEOPLE TO USE IT AS A PLACE TO SIT, LIKE PARENT, YOU KNOW, LIKE A MOM OR SOMEONE OF PARENTS MIGHT SIT THERE WHILE THEIR CHILD'S PLAYING. 
          SINCE WE'RE DOING THIS STRUCTURE, IS THERE ANY WAY TO MAKE THAT PRETTIER?  I MEAN IT'S, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA DO A BEAUTIFUL MURAL ATTACHED TO THIS EIGHTIES STONE FAKE STONE WALL. 
          YEAH, THE STONE IS ACTUALLY IN PERSON. 
          IT'S VERY, I MEAN, IN MY OPINION, I THINK IT IS NICE. 
          WE CAN BRING A CLOSER PHOTO OF THAT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT. 
          WE CAN'T SEE THIS. 
          WELL, LAURA, TELL ME IF WE VOTE ON THIS MOTION AND DENY IT, CAN WE OPEN THE FLOOR FOR A SECOND? MOTION TO DEFER, OR DO WE NEED TO AMEND THAT MOTION? , WILL YOU ASK THAT AGAIN? AND I'LL, WE HAVE TO VOTE TO DENY. 
          SO CAN WE THEN REINTRODUCE A SECOND MOTION TO DEFER, WITHDRAW, REINTRODUCE. 
          DID ANYBODY BRING ROBERT'S RULES WITH IT? THAT WOULD, AGAIN, THAT WOULD BE UP TO, UP TO THE COMMISSION. 
          UM, IF YOU, IF YOU DENY IT, THEN WE'RE GONNA COME BACK TO YOU. 
          WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND BRING SOMETHING BACK AT SOME POINT IN TIME. 
          IF YOU DEFER IT, IT KIND OF, THEN IT KIND OF TIES OUR HAND THAT WE HAVE TO HIT THAT DATE. 
          SO I AS I WOULD JUST RATHER YOU SAY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE DENYING IT'S ON RECORD THAT YOU'RE NOT SAYING NO TO ART. 
          YOU'RE JUST SAYING WE WANT SOME OTHER CHOICES AND WE BRING THOSE CHOICES BACK BECAUSE WE CAN'T, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HU WE'RE TRYING TO HUDDLE, HUDDLE A LITTLE BIT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HANDLING THIS CORRECTLY, BUT I DON'T KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HER SCHEDULE IS OR WHAT OUR SCHEDULE IS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          SO WE WOULD RATHER JUST, IF THAT'S THE DECIDE DECISION Y'ALL WANT TO GO IS JUST DENY IT AND WE'LL COME BACK TO THIS GROUP AS SOON AS WE CAN, UH, WITH, UH, WITH MORE RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          OKAY? ALRIGHT. 
          ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, PLEASE VOTE. 
          OH, THERE WE GO. 
          YOU RESTATE, RESTATE WHAT WE'RE, YES. 
          IT HAS BEEN MOVED BY COMMISSIONER SME AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER JENA THAT WE DENY RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PUBLIC ART APPLICATION FOR CONTINUUM ALPHARETTA OR WACKY WORLD  WHO PUT THIS TOGETHER. 
          . 
          OKAY. 
          THAT WE DENY RECOMMENDATION FOR THE WACKY WORLD MURAL AT WILLS PARK. 
          SO I'LL NOW CALL FOR A RECOMMENDATION. 
          WE'RE NOT VOTING. 
          SO DO YOU WANT TO DENY THE APPLICATION WOULD BE A YES VOTE. 
          [00:40:10]
ALL RIGHT. 
          THE VOTE PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          NEXT WE HAVE THE PUBLIC ART REVIEW OF THE LAMPPOST GALLERY. 
          HELLO. 
          I'M GONNA INTRODUCE THIS AND THEN I'LL INVITE, UM, ARTS ALFREDA UP TO DISCUSS IT FURTHER IN, TO WALK THROUGH THEIR PRESENTATION. 
          ARTS ALFREDA, AS YOU KNOW, IS OUR LOCAL NONPROFIT DEDICATED TO EXPANDING ARTS ENGAGEMENT TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          THEY REQUEST AN APPROVAL TO CREATE FUND, INSTALL AND MAINTAIN AN ANNUAL OUTDOOR ART GALLERY USING CITY OWNED LAMPPOST. 
          THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES INSTALLING 42. 
          THIS SAYS 42, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY 40. 
          AND THEY'LL EXPLAIN. 
          THERE'S TWO TITLE, I'M NOT GONNA GO INTO A LOT OF DETAIL, BUT THERE'S TWO TITLE BANNERS. 
          SO THAT SKEWED THIS A COUPLE, BUT I'LL LET THEM EXPLAIN THAT IN THEIR PRESENTATION. 
          THE ARTWORK BANNERS WILL BE AT TWO LOCATIONS ALONG KIMBALL BRIDGE ROAD, SOUTHEAST CORNER OF NORTH POINT PARKWAY, SOUTHEAST CORNER OF WATERS ROAD. 
          THE PROJECT ADDS PUBLIC ART TO THE EAST SIDE OF ALPHARETTA, IS ENTIRELY TURNKEY THROUGH ARTS ALPHARETTA WITH A CULT CONS CONSULTATION, EXCUSE ME, FROM CITY STAFF. 
          UH, I WILL LET, HELLO. 
          WE'RE HERE. 
          I DIDN'T . 
          OKAY. 
          THIS IS NANCY MURPHY AND LIZ ALANO. 
          AND I'M GONNA LET THEM KIND OF WALK THROUGH THE PRESENTATION AND EXPLAIN WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH. 
          . 
          THANK YOU. 
          WELL, THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS FOR LETTING US PRESENT THIS EVENING. 
          UH, AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE ALL ABOUT SHARING THE JOY AND WATERMAN OF THE ARTS AND ALWAYS LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO SHOWCASE THE ARTS AND, AND KEEPING WITH, UM, SOME INITIATIVES THAT YOU AS A COMMISSION HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN IS PRESENTING ART ON THE EAST SIDE OF 400. 
          THIS WAS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WE SAW AS SOME OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS PRESENTED, WERE INVOLVED IN, THEY WERE INVOLVED IN AN OPEN CALL IN MIDTOWN ATLANTA WHERE THEY WERE ALLOWED TO SUBMIT DESIGNS FOR BANNERS THAT WERE GONNA BE, UM, INSTALLED ALONG STREETS IN MIDTOWN. 
          AND IT WAS TO PROMOTE THE WALKABILITY AND ENGAGE THE PUBLIC AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO COME AND WALK AND ENGAGE IN THAT COMMUNITY. 
          UM, NOW WE'RE, WE'RE NOT MIDTOWN, BUT WE DID REACH OUT TO THEM TO KIND OF, TO DISCUSS. 
          AND THEY WERE, THEY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE GENEROUS WITH THEIR TIME AND RESOURCES AND SHARED EVERYTHING WITH US, UM, TO ENCOURAGE US TO DO THIS. 
          UM, SO WE APPRECIATE THEIR PARTNERSHIP IN THIS. 
          WE HAD SOME TIME WITH THE, UM, ALFRED, UH, CONVENTION AND VISITORS BUREAU STAFF, AND THEY WERE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. 
          AND THEN, AND, AND WANTED TO INVEST IT WELL AS WELL IN GETTING THIS DONE. 
          UM, WE HAD A CHANCE TO MEET WITH SOME COMMISSIONERS AT A WORK SESSION FOR A FEW MINUTES JUST TO INTRODUCE THIS IDEA AS WE WERE DEVELOPING IT AND GETTING READY FOR TONIGHT. 
          UM, AND THAT WAS MET WITH PRETTY POSITIVE RESULTS. 
          UM, AND THAT PROCESS, UH, COMMISSIONER BARSKI HAD SUGGESTED THAT WE LOOK AT SOME OTHER AREAS, UM, AND IN USING THE, WE CHOSE THE LAMPPOST AS OUR FRAME FOR THE ARTWORK BECAUSE THEY'RE ATTRACTIVE. 
          WE SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF THEM. 
          THEY'RE BEING INSTALLED EVERYWHERE. 
          UH, BUT MUCH TO OUR SURPRISE, THEY'RE NOT OWNED BY ANY ONE ENTITY. 
          THEY'RE OWNED BY MANY ENTITIES. 
          AND THE MAP OF DOTS, MR. BROSKI HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THAT VERY SAME MAP. 
          , IT'S A LOT OF DOTS, UM, BUT IT INCLUDES EVERY VERTICAL STRUCTURE THAT REPRESENTS ANY KIND OF POLE ON ANY STREET IN ALPHARETTA. 
          SO THE CHARGE WE WERE THEN GIVEN WAS TO NARROW OUR FOCUS TO JUST THOSE LAMPPOSTS OWNED BY THE CITY OF ALPHARETTA. 
          UH, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR A TYPO ON THIS SCREEN HERE THAT SHOWS THAT IT'S EAST OF GEORGIA 40, BUT IT'S REALLY GEORGIA 400 FOR THE RECORD, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT IN THE FOOT ROAD, IT'S JUST GEORGIA 400 . 
          UM, SO WE'RE MOVING ON WITH THIS. 
          UM, AND LIZ, I'LL LET YOU EXPLAIN THIS, THIS QUOTE HERE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO READ IT, BUT YOU ALL HAVE OUR CHANCE TO SEE THAT. 
          UM, MY NAME IS LIZ ALONA. 
          UH, I, LET'S SEE. 
          UM, SINCE YOU ALL HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY READ THIS, I'M SURE, UM, WHAT I, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE SO EXCITED ABOUT IS BEING ABLE TO COLLABORATE WITH DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE ATLANTA AREA. 
          UM, BASICALLY WE FEEL THAT WHENEVER YOU BRING ART TO THE COMMUNITY, YOU ARE INSPIRING YOUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER. 
          AND WE WERE ABLE TO WORK WITH MIDTOWN LINES. 
          I HAVE BEEN IN BOTH OF THE, SO I WAS A CHOSEN ARTIST AND THAT WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE BANNERS, UM, THAT WAS UP AT THE TIME. 
          AND I'M AGAIN IN IT THIS YEAR. 
          AND IT'S BEEN AN AMAZING, WONDERFUL, UH, 
          [00:45:01]
COMBINATION FOR THEM. 
          NOT ONLY INCREASED, BUT ALSO INCREASE, UM, JUST BEING REGULAR COMMUNITY, THE ARTISAN FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE BANK. 
          IT DID A LOT OF AMAZING FAMOUS AND BUILDING COMMUNITY. 
          YEAH, IT BROUGHT PEOPLE INTO THAT. 
          IT BROUGHT PEOPLE, IT BROUGHT PEOPLE IN. 
          AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WHEN I GO TO THIS SLIDE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A LOT OF WHAT ALFREDA HAS BEEN WORKING ON IS, IS FOCUSING ON THE, YOU KNOW, OUR ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO BE OUTSIDE. 
          BUT FOR OUR WORK, WE DECIDED TO FOCUS ON WHAT EAST WEST CARTER'S THROUGH ALFREDA MIGHT WE CONSIDER. 
          WE LOOKED FOR ONES THAT HAD GOOD WALKING PATHS, BROAD SIDEWALKS WITH THE CONNECTION TO PARKS, UM, UH, CONNECTION TO GREENWAYS, UM, AND THEN TO SCHOOLS AS WELL TO SCHOOLS. 
          ANY PLACE WHERE WE SAW A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC IN ADDITION TO THE CAR TRAFFIC THAT WE ARE REALLY GOOD AT. 
          , YES, WE HAVE PLENTY OF THAT, BUT THERE'S NOT A, NOT EVERY STREET THAT WE GO ON HAS A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC ON IT. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT WE STARTED TO LOOK FOR. 
          AND THEN AGAIN, THAT EXTRA LAYER OF FOCUSING ON THOSE CITY OWNED LAMPPOSTS, WHICH YOU FOUND OUT BY LOOKING FOR A STICKER AT THE BOTTOM OF EVERY LAMPPOST. 
          SO WE WALKED, JUST TO BE CLEAR, WE DID A LOT OF WALKING TO MAKE SURE WE FOUND ALL THESE LAMPPOSTS. 
          THIS LITTLE SCHEMATIC HERE IS NOT TO SCALE. 
          WE JUST WANTED YOU TO SEE THAT THIS IS, UH, OUR, OUR RECOMMENDATION WE TO BE, TO PUT THIS INSTALLATION ON KIMBLE BRIDGE ROAD. 
          AND IT WOULD BE BETWEEN NORTH POINT PARKWAY AND WATERS ROAD. 
          THIS, THE DOTS ARE NOT TO SCALE AND THEY'RE DISTANCE APART. 
          THOSE LAMPPOSTS ARE INSTALLED ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO 70 FEET APART, BUT THAT INSTALLATION IS INCONSISTENT AND VARIES DEPENDING UPON THE LOCATION AND THE GEOGRAPHICS OF WHERE THE, THE POLES ARE INSTALLED. 
          THE GROUND THAT'S UNDERNEATH. 
          SO THAT'S JUST ROUGHLY, TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE WE'RE LOOKING TO PUT THESE, THIS IS WHAT ONE OF THE BANNERS LOOKS LIKE. 
          THIS, THE GRAPHIC IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE SLIDE IS AN ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPH OF OUR, OF THE LAMPPOSTS THAT WE HOPE TO USE. 
          WE THINK THEY BRING A GREAT FRAME. 
          UM, THERE ARE LOTS OF LAMPPOSTS AROUND. 
          YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE OTHERS EVEN IN THIS IMAGE, BUT WE DIDN'T WANNA INSTALL ON THOSE BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE ARE ALMOST TWICE THE HEIGHT OF THE ONES WE HOPE TO INSTALL UPON. 
          AND AGAIN, NOT ALL OF THOSE POLES ARE OWNED BY THE CITY OF ALPHARETTA. 
          SO THAT WOULD BE A SCHEMATIC OF WHAT IT COULD LOOK LIKE. 
          WE RECEIVED A HUGE RESPONSE, GOT 183 ARTWORKS OF 72 ARTISTS FROM ALL AROUND THE METRO ATLANTA AREA. 
          WE CAN ONLY ACCEPT 38 ARTWORKS. 
          OUT OF ALL THAT. 
          WE PROPOSED 40 BANNERS WITH THIS INITIAL PROPOSAL, WHICH WOULD BE THE 38 ARTWORKS PLUS BOOKEND TITLE BANNERS ON EITHER END OF THIS COLLECTION. 
          UM, SO THAT'S WHY THAT NUMBER WILL BE DIFFERENT AS WE TALK ABOUT THE SECOND, THE ALTERNATE LOCATION. 
          SO ONLY ONE ARTWORK PER ARTIST. 
          AGAIN, THIS WAS AS WE CONTINUE TO NARROW DOWN FROM THAT 180 3, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE WE GONNA, THERE WERE LOTS OF CRITERIA ABOUT, BUT THAT WAS ONE OF THEM. 
          WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CELEBRATE MORE ARTISTS BY DOING MORE PEOPLE. 
          THIS IS THE PROPOSAL OF WHAT THE, UM, THAT THAT TITLE BANNER WOULD LOOK LIKE AT. 
          CURRENTLY WE HAVE THREE SPONSORS, WHICH IS ARTS OFFER, THE THE CITY OF COURSE. 
          AND THEN AUSTIN ALPHARETTA HAS, HAS COMMITTED TO SUPPORT US, BUT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO RAISE FUNDS TO SUPPORT THAT THROUGH OTHER SPONSORSHIPS. 
          SO THAT BANNER DESIGN IS ONE FOR YOUR REVIEW AND APPROVAL AS WELL, RIGHT? SO WE WERE MIRRORING THIS MIDTOWN FORMAT AND OUR INITIAL THINKING, WE WERE, WE PROPOSED THAT ALL OF THE BANNERS HAVE SORT OF A BLACK FRAME. 
          THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA. 
          IT SEEMED TO WORK WELL IN MIDTOWN. 
          WE WERE JUST, YOU KNOW, GOING ALONG. 
          BUT AS WE STARTED TO LOOK AT OUR ARTWORK, YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS SLIDE THAT BLACK WASN'T GONNA WORK ON EVERYBODY'S ARTWORK. 
          IT WAS A GOOD IDEA. 
          BUT THAT'S, I WANTED YOU TO KIND OF SEE WHILE WE MADE THE CHANGE FROM GOING FROM JUST A, A CONSISTENT TEMPLATE TO MAKING 'EM ALL UNIQUE AND FULL OF COLOR. 
          THIS IS THE CORNER OF, UM, KEMBLE BRIDGE IN NORTH POINT PARKWAY. 
          AND I'M ACTUALLY STANDING ON THE CORNER, UM, ON A, ON AN ELECTRICAL BOX SO I COULD GET SOME HEIGHT SO THAT YOU COULD SEE LOOKS. 
          THIS IS LOOKING EAST, GOING AWAY FROM ALPHARETTA DOWN CAMPBELL BRIDGE ROAD. 
          AROUND THAT CURVE IS THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE IN ROCK MILL PARK AND EL THE, UH, NEW PROSPECT ELEMENTARY. 
          SO THE PROPOSAL WOULD BE TO PUT THESE BANNERS IN AT EVERY OTHER LAMPPOST GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN CAMPBELL BRIDGE ROAD. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IN THE DEAD OF WINTER WHEN THERE'S NOT MUCH GROSS GOING ON IN THE TREES. 
          THAT'S WHAT, AND THERE'S OUR LOVELY TRAFFIC. 
          SO THIS IS NOW THE, I'M NOW MOVING INTO THE ACTUAL ORDER OF THE BANNERS IN WHICH WE'VE PROPOSED TO INSTALL THESE. 
          AND KIM, YOU CAN ADVISE IF WE ARE COMMISSIONERS, IF WE NEED TO STOP AT ANY POINT, UM, TO GO THROUGH THESE. 
          BUT THIS, I'M JUST GONNA COME OF TALK YOU THROUGH WHERE YOU ARE. 
          IF YOU ARE DRIVING IN THAT SAME, FROM THIS SAME INTERSECTION, IF YOU WERE TO COME UPON, IF YOU CAN SEE VERY SMALL, THERE'S THE TIDAL BANNER 
          [00:50:01]
AND THERE'S THE CHICKEN, THE WHAT'S CALLED BUSINESS CHICKEN. 
          SO THIS NOW STARTS THE ORDER IN WHICH WE WOULD INSTALL THESE. 
          AS YOU'RE DRIVING EAST ON KIMBALL BRIDGE IN THIS PARTICULAR STRETCH OF KIMBALL BRIDGE ROAD, THERE ARE A LAMPPOSTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA FOCUS ON THE EASTBOUND SIDE, JUST THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STREET TO LOOK AT FIRST IN THIS ORDER. 
          AND I'M JUST GOING TO LET YOU TAKE A LOOK IN THE, IF YOU'LL NOTICE AT AT THE TOP YOU'LL SEE CODING HERE THAT SAYS KB 60, KB 58. 
          THOSE ARE ACTUALLY THE POLL NUMBERS WE PROPOSED ON WHICH TO INSTALL. 
          THIS WOULD BE THE NEXT, NEXT BATCH. 
          AND ALONG HERE, THESE THREE AS YOU APPROACH, UH, THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE ON KEMBLE BRIDGE, UM, THIS PIECE HERE IS CLOSE AS YOU'RE GETTING CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL, THIS IS ALSO CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL, BUT THIS PARTICULAR PIECE HERE IS GETTING TOWARDS THE ENTRANCE OF THE GREENWAY. 
          'CAUSE JUST AS YOU PASS THE SCHOOL AT COMING OUT OF THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE, THERE'S AN ENTRANCE ONTO THE GREENWAY. 
          SO WE THOUGHT THE WALKING DOG WOULD BE KIND OF FUN. 
          WE WERE VERY INTENTIONAL ABOUT THE ARTWORK AND WHERE WE PLACED THEM ALONG THAT ROAD. 
          MM-HMM . 
          BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME VERY SIGNIFICANT COMMUNITY FACILITIES THERE. 
          WE WANTED TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THAT. 
          I'M SORRY, BUT THE DEER JUST, I THOUGHT IF YOU WERE EVER ON THE GREENWAY, YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE DEER. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THIS PLACE THERE. 
          SO AS WE MOVE ALONG, THIS IS GOING FURTHER DOWN THE STREET. 
          WE WERE DELIGHTED WITH THE DIVERSITY OF ARTISTS THAT WE HAD. 
          YOU KNOW, A LOT OF OUR LOCAL ARTISTS THAT SUBMIT TO PIECES PERIODICALLY, SOME OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS SUBMITTED PIECES. 
          UM, WE COULDN'T ACCEPT EVERYBODY, BUT WE WERE JUST DELIGHTED WITH GETTING PEOPLE THAT SUBMITTED TO OUR COLLECTION THAT WE'VE NEVER MET BEFORE. 
          AND A LOT OF THESE ARE ARTISTS THAT ARE DEEPLY INVOLVED IN THE ARTS WORLD AND THE ATLANTA AREA. 
          UM, THESE PIECES HERE WITH, UM, CASEY INGLE WITH A WINK AND A SMILE AND THE CAST ARE NEXT TO THE ENTRANCE TO THE FIRE STATION THAT'S ON CAMPBELL BRIDGE ROAD. 
          WE THOUGHT THAT FIREMEN MIGHT LIKE TO SEE THOSE MAYBE WE'RE STEREOTYPING, BUT WE THOUGHT THAT'D BE KIND OF FINE. 
          AND WE CONTINUE TO MOVE DOWN THE STREET. 
          THESE TWO PIECES HERE, DICK'S CREEK AND A POPUP SPRING ARE NEAR THE CHURCH ENTRANCE ALONG THAT ROAD. 
          AND THEN AS YOU GET TO THE END OF KIMBLE BRIDGE, AS YOU GET CLOSE TO WATERS ROAD TO THE PARK ON WATERS ROAD, UM, THIS LADY HERE IN HER UMBRELLA VIE WALKING THROUGH THE PARK WITH AN UMBRELLA. 
          AND I, I DID SEE SOMEBODY TODAY WALKING BY THAT PARK WITH AN UMBRELLA. 
          UM, ANYWAY, THAT'S CLOSE TO THAT PARK. 
          SO THAT'S A PROPOSAL ON THAT SIDE OF THE STREET. 
          SO THIS NEXT SLIDE BACKS YOU BACK UP, BACK TO THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH POINT AND KIMMEL BRIDGE. 
          AND THIS TIME, INSTEAD OF STANDING ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET, ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THAT'S CLOSEST TO NORTH POINT MALL, YOU'RE STANDING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET, STILL FACING TRAFFIC COMING AT YOU, BUT YOU'RE LOOKING TOWARDS THE EAST. 
          THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST BANNER ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. 
          NOW THESE, AGAIN, THESE BANNERS ARE PLACED EVERY OTHER POLE APART, BUT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, WE'RE ALSO STAGGERING WHERE THEY ARE IN BETWEEN. 
          SO, SO THERE'S ONE THAT'S CLOSE, SKIP A SPACE, WALK A LITTLE BIT FURTHER, BUT YOU GOTTA LOOK ACROSS THE STREET TO SEE THE REST. 
          SO THESE ARE ALSO PRE PRESENTED IN ORDER AND AS YOU GET CLOSER HERE TO S SAPPHIRE GIRL AND THE SCHOOL GIRL, THIS IS GETTING INTO THAT TRAFFIC CIRCLE AROUND THE SCHOOL. 
          OKAY? SO OUR ALTERNATE BANNERS, IN CASE ONE OF THESE THAT WE'VE PRESENTED, THIS IS WHERE THIS LAST BANNER HERE, UM, THAT'S WHERE THE BRIDGE OVER BIG CREEK HAPPENS. 
          AND SO THERE ARE NO MORE LAMPPOSTS ON THAT SIDE OF THE STREET, BEYOND WATERS ROAD TILL YOU GET TO WATERS ROAD. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE THAT SIDE ENDS. 
          IT'S A SHORT LITTLE STRETCH ON THAT SIDE. 
          AND THEN SHOULD ANY OF THESE BANNERS NOT MEET WITH APPROVAL, WE HAVE SOME ALTERNATES HERE FOR CONSIDERATION IN OUR PUBLIC ART REVIEW. 
          THIS PARTICULAR PIECE WAS WHAT WAS PRESENTED, IT'S CALLED WILD DREAM. 
          AND THE COMMITTEE THERE HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE YELLOW BORDER. 
          THEY JUST DIDN'T LIKE IT. 
          AND THEY SAID, WHAT IF YOU MADE IT TEAL? WHICH WE DID. 
          UM, SO THAT'S HERE FOR US TO CONSIDER. 
          ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENS WITH THIS TEAL COLOR AND RED IS IT STARTS TO STROBE. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO PRESENT FOR YOU TO YOU ALL AS ALTERNATES. 
          OKAY. 
          AS FAR AS A MAINTENANCE PLAN, UH, I THINK YOU ALL HAVE RECEIVED A COPY OF THAT, BUT WE ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUPERVISING THAT ON A MONTHLY BASIS. 
          UM, AND THEN PERIODICALLY CHECKING THAT. 
          OF COURSE IF SOMEBODY SAYS, YOU KNOW, A FIREMAN TELLS US, OH, THAT BANNER THAT WE LOVE FELL DOWN, WE'RE GONNA GET RIGHT ON IT. 
          WE REPRINT IT, WE PAY THE INSTALLER TO COME BACK OUT AND REINSTALL IT. 
          WE ARE CONTINUALLY FUNDRAISING SO THAT WE CAN KEEP THIS 
          [00:55:01]
PROJECT GOING. 
          SO WE DON'T ENGAGE OR REQUIRE OR ASK FOR ANY SUPPORT FROM THE CITY STAFF IN ANY WAY, BUT WE DO NEED TO ALERT THEM THE DAY OF INSTALLATION. 
          WE JUST NEED TO LET THEM KNOW WHEN WE'RE DOING THAT SO THAT THEY CAN GIVE US THE SPECIFICATIONS ABOUT HOW TO ACCESS IT. 
          THE INSTALLER TYPICALLY HAS, WILL NOT HAVE ANY IMPACT ON TRAFFIC, WILL NOT DISRUPT STREET PASSAGE IN ANY WAY. 
          UM, THEY BRING ALL THE EQUIPMENT AND THEY WOULD BASICALLY INSTALL THESE IN LESS THAN A DAY FOR EVERYTHING. 
          AND WHILE WE WENT OUT THERE AND GOT DIFFERENT QUOTES, WE ARE USING, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I BROUGHT THIS BANNER IN SO THAT YOU CAN ACTUAL QUALITY OF THE BANNER, IT'S ON BOTH SIDES. 
          THERE ARE GROMMETS, GROMMETS, BOTH TOP AND  TO THE BRACKET HOLE. 
          SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE UP AND DOWN ON THE POLE, BUT THAT IS HOW MIDTOWN ELECTED IT. 
          AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GO, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU AT SOME POINT HIGH, HIGH, UM, AND VERY HIGH QUALITY. 
          SO WE ARE USING THE VENDORS AT MIDTOWN ALLIANCE AND THEY WERE, YES MA'AM. 
          I WANTED TO SHARE ONE QUICK THING DURING THE PUBLIC ART REVIEW, IF YOU DON'T MIND. 
          SURE. 
          AND I'LL HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN HERE. 
          I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU THE VISUAL THAT EACH BANNER WAS INDIVIDUALLY DISCUSSED WITH EVERY QUESTION AND APPROVED OR NOT APPROVED OR, SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT PART TO SHOW THAT WE ACTUALLY LOOKED AT EACH PIECE OF ART AND DISCUSSED THAT AND THOSE THAT DIDN'T PASS ARE NOT IN FRONT OF YOU. 
          THE SEAT. 
          UM, THE TO AGAIN, TO UNDERSCORE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO US, AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE BANNERS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN THE CITY OF ALFRED IN THE, IN THE CITY CENTER AREA, THOSE BASICALLY JUST SLOT ON BARS AND THEY DON'T, THEY'RE NOT AFFIXED IN ANY WAY BECAUSE THEY'RE CONSTANTLY CHANGED. 
          WE HAVE PROPOSED TO LEAVE THESE UP FOR ONE YEAR AND RECRUIT A WHOLE NEW BATCH EVERY YEAR AS AN ONGOING AND HOPEFULLY GROWING OUTDOOR GALLERY. 
          UM, BUT TO HAVE THESE, WE ARE BUYING THE BRACKETS THAT HAVE A WAY TO ATTACH THEM TO IT SO THAT THEY DON'T BLOW OFF IN THE WIND. 
          NOW WE CAN'T DO MUCH ABOUT HURRICANES TORNADOES, BUT WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE THESE AS HAVE AS MUCH LONGEVITY AS POSSIBLE. 
          ARTISTS THAT HAVE HAD THEIR BANNERS ON DISPLAY FOR, THEY WERE NOT UP FOR, THEY WERE UP FOR A FULL YEAR. 
          MM-HMM . 
          HAD, DID NOT REALLY EXPERIENCE ANY DRIP DIFFICULTY WITH FADING OR QUALITY. 
          UM, WE'VE HAD NO FEEDBACK ON ANY ISSUES WITH THAT. 
          BUT OF COURSE, IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, HEAVEN FORBID THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING VANDALIZED. 
          WE WOULD ADDRESS THAT VERY QUICKLY, HAVE IT TAKEN DOWN AND REPRINTED AND REHUNG. 
          I THINK WITH MIDTOWN ALLIANCE, THEIR BIG ISSUE WITH HAD MOVIES SO THEN THEY HAD TO TAKE IT , RIGHT? SO WHEN THE FILM INDUSTRY MAKES IT WAY TO ALPHARETTA, YOU KNOW, WE WOULDN'T, WOULDN'T STAND IN ITS WAY, BUT WE WOULD CERTAINLY BE A PART OF MAKING SURE THAT THEY GET REINSTALLED IN A TIMELY MANNER. 
          UM, AFTER DRIVING AROUND WITH COMMISSIONER BARSKY, ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HE ASKED US TO PRESENT WAS AN ALTERNATE PLAN WITH LESS FREQUENCY. 
          UM, SO RATHER THAN HAVING THEM ON EVERY OTHER POST, PERHAPS EVERY OTHER THIRD, FOURTH, OR FIFTH, UM, AND LOOKING AT WHEN YOU HAVE THAT PROPOSAL, I THINK IN YOUR PACKET OF A PROPOSAL, USING THE EXACT SAME IMAGES, UM, WE WOULD STRETCH 'EM OUT FURTHER APART. 
          WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE DISTANCE OF PUTTING IN, WE, WE PROPOSED ONE TO THREE, UH, EVERY THIRD BANNER INSTEAD OF EVERY OTHER, OTHER. 
          WHEN WE LOOKED AT ONE OF FOUR, ONE OF FIVE, YOU, YOU SORT OF LOST THE VISUAL IMPACT OF SEEING MULTIPLE AT ONE TIME. 
          SO YOU MIGHT SEE ONE, BUT IN YOUR, IN YOUR SKEW, YOU KNOW, THE VIEW OF THE LANDSCAPE BE VERY FEW TIMES WHEN YOU WOULD SEE MORE THAN ONE. 
          SO WE KIND OF PULLED BACK AND STARTED TO FOCUS ON JUST ONE OF THREE. 
          IF WE DO THE 1 0 3 PLAN THAT ROLLS ALL THE WAY DOWN THE SAME STREET, ALL THE WAY DOWN KELE BRIDGE ROAD, BUT GAVE US, GAVE US 12 BANNERS TO INSTALL ON THE NEXT BATCH OF CITY OWNED POLES, WHICH IS ON ENCORE PARKWAY. 
          AND SO ENCORE PARKWAY, AS YOU KNOW, CROSSES OVER 400 IN KEEPING WITH OUR WORK ON FOCUSING ON THE EAST SIDE OF 400. 
          WE'RE PROPOSING TO JUST INSTALL THE OTHER HALF THAT OTHER SECTION OF BANNERS ON THE EAST SIDE OF ENCORE PARKWAY. 
          AGAIN, ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET. 
          SO IF YOU'RE STANDING AT THAT CAR WASH, I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF IT, BUT THERE'S A CAR WASH RIGHT THERE AT ENCORE PARKWAY ON NORTH POINT. 
          IF YOU'RE STANDING THERE LOOKING, YOU WOULD SEE THOSE BANNERS ZIGZAGGING BACK AND FORTH ALL THE WAY UP TO THE BRIDGE. 
          BUT WE'RE NOT CROSSING THE BRIDGE. 
          WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT YET. 
          . 
          SO HOW SHOULD, WHAT, WHAT WAS WHAT WHAT QUESTIONS? OKAY, 
          [01:00:22]
SO IF WE GO TO EVERY THIRD POLE LONG KENDALL BRIDGE ROAD, IS THAT A RECOMMENDATION? HOW DOES THAT PLAY INTO ALL OF THIS? 'CAUSE IT'S NOT SPECIFIED ANYWHERE AT THIS POINT. 
          SO WHAT, WHAT, WHAT ART RETTA IS PROPOSING IS ON EVERY OTHER POLL, BUT I, WE PREPARED IF YOU WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT OTHER ALTERNATE LOCA ALTERNATE LOCATION PLAN TO MY, MY, OUR PREFERRED PRESENTATION WOULD BE EVERY OTHER POLL ON CAMPBELL BRIDGE ROAD. 
          BUT IF YOU WANNA, WE CAN ALSO LOOK AT THAT SAME, IT'S THE BANNERS ARE BASICALLY IN THE SAME ORDER WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THOSE. 
          WE PERSONALLY PICKED AROUND THOSE KEY, UH, FACILITIES DOWN CAMPBELL BRIDGE ROAD AROUND THE SCHOOL, THE CHURCH, THE FIRE STATION, AND THEN AS WE MOVED DOWN INTO ENCORE PARKWAY, WE JUST FILLED IN THE REST DOWN THAT, THAT PATH. 
          SO WE HAVE TWO PROPOSALS BASICALLY IN FRONT OF YOU. 
          UM, CAN, CAN I ASK LIKE A CONCEPTUAL QUESTION? IT'S NOT EVEN FOR THIS ONE, IS THAT OKAY? UM, I IS EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, I LOVE THE IDEA. 
          UM, I, I LIKE EXPANDING IT TO WHAT I'M A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT, AND MAYBE THIS IS WHERE THE QUESTION COMES IN. 
          UM, IF WE HAVE ALL OF NORTH POINT PARKWAY, ALL OF KIMBALL BRIDGE, ALL OF WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BANNERS UP, IT BECOMES VISUALLY OVERWHELMING RATHER THAN BEING A SERIES. 
          SO CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOUR VISION IS YEAR AFTER YEAR? LIKE HOW MANY AREAS ARE YOU INTENDING TO BEAUTIFY WITH BANNERS AND AT THAT POINT, I GUESS EVERY YEAR YOU COME WITH NEW SELECTION AND WE CAN AMEND THE QUANTITY EVERY YEAR. 
          SO EVERY OTHER, EVERY THIRD, EVERY FOURTH. 
          SO IN, IN THE BIG DREAM, UM, WE WOULD LOVE TO, IF THIS IS APPROVED AT ANY LEVEL, WHETHER IT'S EVERY OTHER OR EVERY THIRD, WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE THIS ANNUALLY. 
          AND IT ALL DEPENDS ON OUR, OUR FUNDRAISING. 
          UM, BUT, AND WHEN YOU DO THAT THE NEXT YEAR, IT'S NOT AS EXPENSIVE. 
          BAKER BRACKETS ACTUALLY LAST LONGER THAN ONE YEAR. 
          SO ONCE THOSE BRACKETS ARE INSTALLED, THEY CAN BE DIS INSTALLED. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND NEW ONES CAN BE PUT ON, RIGHT. 
          SO IT BECOMES LESS EXPENSIVE. 
          BUT, BUT ULTIMATELY IT WOULD BE GREAT TO OFFER THIS TO OTHER CORRIDORS WHERE WE THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE. 
          AGAIN, OUR NEXT CHALLENGE, WE'RE ALREADY STARTING TO SHOP FOR THE NEXT BATCH OF BA OF POLES. 
          SHOULD THIS BE SUCCESSFUL, WE'D LIKE TO BE READY TO SAY MAYBE WEB BRIDGE ROAD IS GONNA BE THE NEXT ONE. 
          UNFORTUNATELY, IN MY RECENT SHOPPING ON WEBB BRIDGE ROAD, ALL OF THOSE ARE TAGGED AS GEORGIA POWER POLES, BUT I'M HOPING THAT'S NOT GONNA BE A DEAL BREAKER IN A YEAR. 
          A LOT CAN CHANGE IN A YEAR, WE DON'T KNOW. 
          BUT THERE'S, THERE'S LAMPPOSTS ARE GOING UP EVERYWHERE. 
          SO RIGHT NOW IN THIS FIRST PROPOSAL, WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE CITY OWNED POLLS. 
          AND THERE ARE SOME OTHER PLACES, I THINK WEST SIDE PARKWAY HAD SOME CITY OWNED POLLS. 
          THERE ARE SOME OTHER PLACES WE CAN GO. 
          THERE ARE FEW, ALL OF THE ONES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ENCORE PARKWAY ARE AVAILABLE. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO THERE IS AN IMAGE IN THE SECOND SLIDE PRESENTATION. 
          IS THAT IN HERE, KIM? THAT AT THE BOTTOM THERE IS A VIEW OF ENCORE PARKWAY WHERE YOU CAN SEE EVERY THIRD BANNER. 
          WE DIDN'T DO A PICTURE OF WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE, BUT YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HOW BUSY IT MIGHT LOOK OR MIGHT NOT LOOK. 
          CAN I FOLLOW UP? JUST TO CONFIRM? SO THE BRACKETS ARE REMOVABLE, WHICH MEANS THAT EVERY YEAR YOU COME TO US WITH A PROPOSAL TO INSTALL BANNERS SOMEWHERE. 
          AND IF AT THE TIME WE DECIDE TO GO EVERY THIRD OR EVERY FOURTH, THE BRACKETS ARE REMOVABLE, ATTACHABLE, WHEREVER THOSE GO. 
          NOW I, SO AS A, AS A PILOT FOR THIS YEAR, EVERY OTHER POST ON KIMBALL BRIDGE WOULD BE TESTING HOW, UM, HOW SUCCESSFUL THAT IS WITH THE, THE NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          YES. 
          SO IF YOU, IF I SCROLL INTO THIS, AND THIS IS SHOW YOU, THERE'S KIMBALL BRIDGE, THERE IS ENCORE PARKWAY. 
          SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE, ZOOM THAT IN JUST A LITTLE BIT. 
          SO THIS IS EVERY THIRD POLE. 
          SO THERE'S A BANNER HERE. 
          THERE'S A BANNER HERE, THERE'S A BANNER HERE. 
          SO IT DOESN'T, IT DOESN'T GET REALLY, WE DIDN'T FIND IT TO, TO BE VERY BUSY. 
          EVEN LOOKING ON THAT SIDE OF, ON ENCORE PARKWAY, THEY'RE ALL RIGHT THERE. 
          AND THERE'S NOT A LOT OF TREES BLOCKING ANY VIEW. 
          UH, THERE IS NICE TRAFFIC 
          [01:05:01]
DOWN THERE. 
          THAT PATH DOES LEAD TO A GREENWAY ACCESS. 
          SO THERE, SO THIS DID, THIS WAS A GOOD STREET THAT KIND OF MET SOME OF OUR CRITERIA. 
          AND THERE'S EVEN A SECTION OF, OF LAMPPOST WRAP ONTO NORTH POINT PARKWAY AS YOU APPROACH THE GREENWAY ENTRANCE. 
          HOWEVER, IN THE BACK OF MY MIND, WE ALL KEPT TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH NORTH POINT MALL AND WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO AVOID WHAT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, CONSTRUCTION AND THE DECONSTRUCTION OF A PROPOSED GALLERY. 
          SO WE JUST THOUGHT, LET'S SAY I'LL AWAY FROM NORTH POINT PARKWAY UNTIL THAT AMAZING FACILITY IS REMODELED AND A NEW PLAN IS THERE AND THEY GIVE US ALL THE GREAT BANNERS TO HANG OUR . 
          THAT'S THE VISION. 
          LET ME SUGGEST THAT YOU MADE A VERY VALID POINT ABOUT NORTH POINT BEING IN DEVELOPMENT. 
          UM, AND I THINK YOU MADE A VERY GOOD POINT SABINE, ABOUT IS IF, IS THIS A PILOT PROGRAM? AND I THINK IT IS, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE WE CAN THEN CHANGE THINGS UP IF IT FEELS LIKE IT'S TOO BUSY AFTER A YEAR. 
          WE CAN, WE CAN COME BACK EVERY YEAR. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S, LET'S TEST, UM, LAURA, COULD WE MAKE THAT MAYBE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT WITH THE ABILITY TO REASSESS AT THE END OF THE PILOT YEAR? AND WHAT WOULD YOU USE AS A METRIC? WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE WHEN YOU SAID REASSESS, I WOULD JUST SAY RE REVISIT AND DISCUSS. 
          YEAH. 
          YOU CAN BRING IT BACK BEFORE US. 
          THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE WORKING ON IS THE ASSESSMENT MODEL. 
          WHAT ARE WE GONNA USE TO MEASURE THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROGRAM? AND, YOU KNOW, BEING VERY CAREFUL AND INTENTIONAL ABOUT WHAT WE PUT IN FRONT OF FOLKS TO SAY, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU ASK FOR FEEDBACK, WE WANNA GET FEEDBACK THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY USE. 
          SO WE'RE WORKING ON THAT AS WELL. 
          BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT IN FRONT OF US YET. 
          YES MA'AM. 
          I WANTED TO SHARE IT. 
          THIS PROJECT HAS TO COME BACK EVERY YEAR AND BE, UM, YOU KNOW, RECOMMENDED AND THEN APPROVED DUE TO THE NEW ARTWORK THAT YOU, SO THEN YOU CAN ASSESS THE NUMBERS AND, AND REVIEW THAT. 
          SO IT'S, IT'S NOT JUST A ONE AND DONE. 
          SO IT, IT, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'VE GOT BASICALLY THREE OPTIONS. 
          , WE CAN AS IS WITH THE, WITH THE, YOU KNOW, EVERY OTHER ONE, THE THIRD. 
          OR WE CAN DENY IT. 
          I DON'T, I'M NOT SURE WHAT A DEFERMENT WILL DO FOR US AT, AT THIS POINT. 
          'CAUSE THIS IS A SECOND RETURN. 
          SO, UM, THAT BEING SAID, DOES ANYONE FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT A CHOICE TO MAKE A MOTION? I MOVE TO RECOMMEND THE LAMPPOST GALLERY AS, UM, AS IT IS PROPOSED BY THE ARTS? DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND. 
          OKAY, NOW I'VE GOT A QUESTION. 
          OKAY. 
          NOW WE CAN OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ACTUAL DISCUSSION. 
          THERE YOU GO. 
          . 
          I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS TOO. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, COMMISSIONER, JUST SOME MINOR QUESTIONS ACTUALLY. 
          UM, FIRST OF ALL, ARE THESE GONNA BE FOR SALE AFTERWARDS? YOU KNOW, WE HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID THINK ABOUT IS THAT THESE BANNERS, MANY OF THEM ONLY REPRESENT A SLICE OF THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL ARTWORK. 
          AH, BECAUSE THE FORMAT FOR THESE BANNERS IS TWO FEET BY FOUR FEET, BUT NOT EVERYBODY PAINTS IN THAT FORMAT. 
          SO WHAT I, WHAT WE, ONE OF OUR PROPOSALS IS TO SEE IF WE CAN SECURE ONE OF THE CITY'S AUXILIARY GALLERIES TO DISPLAY SOME OF THESE ORIGINAL ARTWORKS THAT GO WITH THEM SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE SCALE, YOU CAN GO UP AND VISIT, SEE THE REST OF THE STORY. 
          VERY FEW OF THEM HAVE A LOT OF THE ARTWORK MISSING FROM WHAT WE'VE PUT IN THE ARTWORK, BUT A LOT OF 'EM HAVE PERHAPS MORE SKY OR MORE BACKGROUND OR WHATEVER. 
          THERE'S, THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY ALL OF THE ARTWORK, BUT I THINK IT'S KIND OF COOL TO SEE THE ORIGINAL PIECE THAT GOES WITH IT. 
          WE HAVE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT SELLING THEM. 
          OKAY. 
          IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BUYING ONE, YOU LET US KNOW WHAT WE HAVE . 
          I HAVE, THERE'S A FUNDRAISING HAS DONE OVER TIME. 
          UHHUH IS TO THANK THE ARTISTS FOR PARTICIPATING. 
          THEY HAVE GIVEN THE ARTIST THEIR BANNERS, SO THAT'S AN OPTION AS WELL. 
          I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION, MIKE, IF YOU DON'T MIND. 
          IT HAS TO DO WITH NUMBER 12. 
          I KEEP LOOKING AT IT AND I CAN'T QUITE FIGURE OUT IS IT MINI MOUSE OR WHAT? , COULD YOU EXPLAIN NUMBER 12 SO THAT UNLESS YOU SPEAK TO THAT ARTIST, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT DON'T, THAT ACTUALLY IS A VERY INVOLVED, UM, POPULAR, VERY INVOLVED, UM, VERY WELL KNOWN ARTIST HERE IN ATLANTA. 
          HIS NAME IS JEFFREY, UH, WILCOX POP ALICON. 
          UM, IF YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN AROUND, YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD HIM AS THE PUZZLE GUY. 
          HE DOES ALL THE PUZZLE PIECES AND HE'S BEEN IN VARIOUS GALLERIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          HE'S A PERSONAL FRIEND. 
          SO I HAD SAID TO HIM, WE'RE DOING THIS THING. 
          HE'S LIKE, OH YES, THIS IS GREAT. 
          SO PART OF WHAT HE'S DOING, AND HE IS ACTUALLY IN, UH, KYLIN ART RIGHT NOW, UH, HAS A BIG DISPLAY AND IT'S CALLED PLAY. 
          SO IF YOU WANNA GO SEE SOME OF HIS ARTWORK, UM, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HE GAVE US THE 
          [01:10:01]
PHOTOGRAPH TO INCLUDE HERE, YOU CAN ACTUALLY GO SEE THAT ANYWAY. 
          AND IS THE ORIGINAL ARTWORK A PHOTOGRAPH OR IS THE ORIGINAL ART A A SCULPTURAL PIECE? IT'S A THREE DD SCULPTURAL PIECE. 
          IT'S A, IT'S A, MM-HMM . 
          SO IT'S INTERESTING, SOME OF THEIR ART SUBMISSIONS WEREN'T OF TWO DIMENSIONAL PIECES. 
          WE HAD A, WE HAD THE PHOTOGRAPHS WERE ALL PHOTOGRAPHIC, BUT WE HAD A COUPLE SCULPTURAL SUBMISSIONS AND SOME OF THOSE TRANSLATE SUFFICIENTLY. 
          THEY DIDN'T MAKE THE JURORS CUT, BUT THIS ONE PARTICULARLY DID. 
          SO WE HAD A TEAM OF FIVE JURORS WHO WENT THROUGH THOSE 183 PIECES TO HELP US NARROW THIS DOWN AND SAY, NO, THESE ARE THE ONES WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON. 
          SO, UM, SO I THINK THAT'S A, THAT'S A UNIQUE THING ABOUT THAT PIECE THAT IT'S, IT'S A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE 3D SCULPTURE AND A SLICE OF IT. 
          OKAY. 
          COMMISSIONER BARSKY, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I GOT A COUPLE . 
          OKAY, WE'RE READY. 
          UM, QUESTION NUMBER ONE. 
          I SAW GALLERY EAST. 
          ARE THERE PLANS IF WE, IF WE DO NORTH, IT'S GONNA BE GALLERY SOUTH? AND SO THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. 
          SO WE, WE WE'RE THINKING OF WHAT WOULD, WHAT ARE WE GONNA CALL THIS? AND YOU KNOW, WE HAVE AN ART, WE HAVE AN OUTDOOR GALLERY, WHICH IS A COLLECTION OF SCULPTURES HERE IN, IN ALPHARETTA THAT WE, THAT ARTS ALFREDA IS A PART OF ALREADY. 
          WE TALKED ABOUT CALLING THE LAMPPOST GALLERY. 
          WE, WE TOSSED HER ON LOTS OF OTHER THINGS. 
          BUT AGAIN, IN KEEPING WITH THE INTEREST OF BRINGING ART TO THE EAST SIDE OF 400, WE THOUGHT ABOUT CALLING IT SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE GENERIC. 
          SO THAT SHOULD ANOTHER MURAL PROPOSAL COME ALONG, ANOTHER BLANK WALL. 
          AND THERE'S A GREAT ONE OFF OF WHAT REDBRIDGE ROAD NEAR THE POST OFFICE. 
          IT'S ALWAYS BEEN IN MY AGENDA MM-HMM . 
          BUT IF THERE ARE OTHER, OTHER THINGS THAT WE CAN BE A PART OF GETTING ART IN AN UNUSUAL PLACE THAT WOULD BECOME PART OF GALLERY EAST. 
          SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IF A ARTIST, IF, IF WE DECIDED, IF ART SOUTH RED WAS ABLE TO PROPOSE IN FRONT A MURAL ON THAT GREAT LONG CONCRETE WALL THAT'S BESIDE THE POST OFFICE, THEN THAT COULD BE ANOTHER PIECE IN GALLERY EAST. 
          AND WE ALREADY HAVE AN OUTDOOR GALLERY THAT'S ALL AROUND CITY HALL AND ANOTHER PARKS, OUR SCULPTURE GALLERY IS SCATTERED ABOUT. 
          BUT THIS JUST GAVE US ANOTHER WINDOW TO KIND OF EMBRACE A BIGGER PICTURE. 
          AND WE'RE HAPPY TO GROW EAST AND NORTH AND SOUTH AND WEST ANYWHERE YOU WANNA GO. 
          LONG AS THE FUNDING AND THE PASSION IS THERE. 
          BUT IF A PIECE OF ART WERE ON GALL, TECHNICALLY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF ALFRED, IT WOULD BE CALLED GALLERY EAST. 
          I'M SORRY, SAY THAT AGAIN. 
          SO TECHNICALLY IF YOU HAD A PIECE OF ART, LIKE ON CONTINUUM, UM, THAT WOULD BE ON THE NORTH SIDE. 
          WOULD THAT BE CONSIDERED GALLERY EAST? STILL IT, ANY GALLERY EAST WOULD BE ANYTHING THAT WE'RE RESUMING THAT WE'RE, OUR SOFTWARE IS A PART OF PROPOSING. 
          SO, SO ANOTHER, ANOTHER, LET'S SAY ANOTHER, UH, DEVELOPER BUYS ANOTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT JUST HAPPENS TO LAND ON THE EAST SIDE OF 400. 
          WE WOULDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE ANY, YOU KNOW, ANY JURISDICTION OVER THAT UNLESS THEY INVITE US IN. 
          SO, SO ANOTHER, ANOTHER. 
          AND IF THEY DID, WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT? IT'S NOT OURS. 
          AND IF ANOTHER, WHAT, LIKE IF ANOTHER CONTINUUM SAY GETS BUILT ON THE CORNER OF WHATEVER STREET IS ON THAT SIDE, THAT'LL BE THEIR THING. 
          BUT IF WE ARE AT SOUTH ALPHARETTA, WE'RE JUST, WE'RE CALLING GALLERY EAST ANYTHING THAT WE'RE PRESENTING THAT WE'RE BRINGING TO THE TABLE. 
          SO IF THE CITY SAYS, HEY, CAN YOU GET US ANOTHER PIECE OF SCULPTURE? OR CAN YOU DO SOMETHING OVER HERE? YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WE GET THOSE CALLS A CROSSWALK, WE NEED A CROSSWALK IN ANOTHER LOCATION ON ANOTHER, AN ENTRANCE TO ANOTHER PARK. 
          YOU KNOW, WE CAN THEN INCORPORATE THAT AS PART OF GALLERIES. 
          OKAY. 
          QUESTION THAT, UH, SECOND QUESTION IS YOUR TEXT REFERENCES INSTAGRAM AND REFERENCES WEBSITES. 
          WOULDN'T IT BE EASIER JUST TO HAVE A QR CODE AND HAVE EVERYTHING QUESTION ? GREAT QUESTION. 
          COMBINED SOMEWHERE WE, WELL THIS, AGAIN, FOLLOWING THE MODEL THAT MIDTOWN DONE, THEY, THEY ONLY ALLOWED THEIR ARTISTS JUST TO PUT THE TEXT OF THEIR WEBSITE OR INSTAGRAM HANDLE OR WHATEVER, WHATEVER WEB ADDRESS THEY WANTED TO LIST. 
          THEY DID NOT GIVE THEM THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR A QR CODE. 
          IN TALKING WITH MY IMMEDIATE SUPERVISOR IN THE CITY OF ALFREDA, IT, IT WAS NOT RECOMMENDED THAT WE MAKE THESE, THAT INTERACTIVE SO THAT EVERYBODY'S STOPPING WHILE THEY'RE DRIVING ALONG TO MAKE A PICTURE OF QR CODE. 
          AND AGAIN, WE HAVE TO, I THINKING ABOUT TRAFFIC AND I DRIVE THAT STREET A GOOD BIT. 
          I DO WANT PEOPLE TO LOOK AT THEM, BUT I DON'T REALLY WANT THEM TO STOP THEIR CARS AND LOOK AT 'EM. 
          I WANT 'EM TO WALK AND LOOK, GO LOOK AT 'EM. 
          I'M SO, WE DID NOT MAKE 'EM INTERACTIVE WITH THE QR CODE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN, AND THEN MY FINAL QUESTION IS, HOW DO WE MAKE, I, AS EVERYBODY KNOWS, I LIKE THE THIRD, UM, SPACING. 
          HOW DO WE INCORPORATE THAT INTO BROKERAGE? WELL, WITH THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR, IT WOULD NOT BE UNDER CONSIDERATION. 
          IT IS AS PRESENTED. 
          PLEASE SPEAK INTO MY HEARING. 
          YEAH. 
          DIANE, HERE, MICROPHONE'S GONE. 
          THAT MEANS THE PUBLIC HEAR, RIGHT? YOUR QUESTION. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          MY QUESTION IS, I AM A BIG FAN OF THIS NOW, UM, BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND EVERY THIRD LAMPPOST RATHER THAN EVERY OTHER LAMPPOST. 
          [01:15:01]
I THINK THE DENSITY ON EVERY OTHER IS JUST GONNA BE OVERWHELMING. 
          SO HOW DO WE INCORPORATE THAT INTO YOUR ROLLOUT? THAT, THAT WOULD BE A PROCEDURAL QUESTION FOR YOU ALL? I THINK YES. 
          THAT THE MOTION NEEDED TO BE MADE, THAT WE MODIFY IT TO EVERY THIRD LAMPPOST SO WE COULD TURN DOWN THIS RECOMMENDATION IF PEOPLE FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT THE THIRD VERSUS TWO. 
          I CAN'T READ Y'ALLS MINDS. 
          WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? FOLLOWING UP ON THAT? WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE IF YOU DID EVERY THIRD, BUT THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE, ON KIMBLE BRIDGE? YEAH. 
          UM, THAT IS, BECAUSE THEN YOU'RE NOT REALLY LEAPFROGGING ANYMORE. 
          YOU'VE GOT A SKIP IN THERE SOMEWHERE. 
          SO ARE SO ON. 
          THERE'S, AND ON KIMBALL BRIDGE, THERE'S, YOU SAW THE, THE VIEW THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT NOW IS ON ENCORE PARKWAY AND YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE ALL THE WAY UP TO THE BRIDGE. 
          BUT THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WITH EVERY THIRD. 
          AND THERE IS A SLIDE IN THIS, LET ME SEE IF I CAN FIND THAT PICTURE. 
          THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON EVERY THIRD BANNER GOING DOWN CAMPBELL BRIDGE ROAD. 
          SO THEY'RE NOT, BECAUSE IT'S ONE TO THREE. 
          THERE'S A PO, A BANNER, STAGGERED BANNER, A COUPLE OF EMPTY SPACES. 
          A BANNER. 
          BANNER, YEP. 
          SPACE, EMPTY SPACES. 
          SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE EXTRA EMPTY SPACE BETWEEN THOSE SPACES. 
          SO THEIR ALTERNATING IS NOT YEAH. 
          PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL. 
          THEY ARE NOT PLACED STRAIGHT ACROSS THE STREET EVENLY ALL THE WAY DOWN EITHER. 
          NO. 
          OKAY. 
          THERE'S ONE OF 'EM THAT'S LABELED AS PART OF THIS COLLECTION THAT WE CAN'T USE BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THOSE SUPER HIGH ONES THAT GOES TO A SAFETY LIGHT ABOVE ALL OF THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES. 
          SO, SO THEN EVEN THE NUMBERING SYSTEM, WE HAD TO KIND OF CHEAT AND ONLY FOCUS ON THE LAMPPOSTS THAT LOOKED LIKE THE LAMPPOST ON THE, THE TITLE OF THE SLIDER. 
          THE REASON WHY I WAS ASKING WAS BECAUSE IF YOU, IF YOU START OUT CLOSER AND THEN YOU START SKIPPING, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S ONE MISSING, RIGHT? AND SO IT'S LIKE, WHAT? AND IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE THERE'S A BANNER MISSING. 
          SO YOU'RE GONNA GET PHONE CALLS SAYING, HEY, WHERE'S THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE HANGING THERE? MM-HMM . 
          I'M JUST, I WAS JUST CURIOUS. 
          BUT I THINK IF YOU END UP PLACING THEM, 'CAUSE IT'S THE, THERE'S A BEND IN THE ROAD, THERE'S, THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY THE SAME DISTANCE AS APART. 
          I I THINK YOU KIND OF JUST PLAYED BY EAR. 
          YEAH. 
          APPROXIMATELY. 
          THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE LIKE THE, THE, THE, EVERY OTHER BANNER BECAUSE IT'S, IT HAS A LITTLE MORE CONSISTENCY AND A LITTLE MORE VISUAL IMPACT. 
          UM, BUT WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO THE OTHER ONE WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET TO. 
          YES. 
          WELL, I I WILL SAY THAT I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN PUT IN. 
          THANK YOU TO THIS PLAN, BOTH IN THE CHOICES OF THE ARTWORK. 
          MM-HMM . 
          I THINK THEY'RE ALL REALLY COOL. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, BUT ALSO, WHICH BANNERS YOU'RE PLACING NEAR WHICH LOCATIONS MM-HMM . 
          AND I, I FOR ONE TRUST Y'ALL. 
          WELL, THANK YOU. 
          TO KNOW IF IT'S GONNA LOOK TOO BUSY OR IF THERE'S A HOLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          AND WE'RE ALSO LIMITED BY REAL ESTATE, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOTTA BE OUR HOLES. 
          SO I, I DON'T WANNA GET TO WHERE WE ARE MICROMANAGING YOU GUYS TOO MUCH. 
          . 
          THANK YOU. 
          YES. 
          UM, MS. MURPHY, UM, I HAVE A QUESTION. 
          I, UM, JUST LIKE SABINE SAID ON, ON THE CONCEPTUAL, UM, AND THIS IS TO PROMOTE ART. 
          UH, IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN PROMOTE OUR ART, UH, WITHIN THE CITY? SOME EVENTS ARE, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ON THE STREETS, SO PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO WALK BY AND SEE THAT THERE'S A CONCERT COMING OR THERE'S A FARMER'S MARKET TAKING PLACE IN DOWNTOWN. 
          SO YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT THESE, THIS LAMPPOST GALLERY, INCLUDING SORT OF ADVERTISEMENTS ALONG THE WAY? YEAH, JUST, UH, WITHOUT BEING, UH, UM, UH, A, A VERY AGGRESSIVE ADVERTISEMENT JUST IN A, IN AN ARTSY WAY TO PLACE POSTERS OR BANNERS THAT, UH, WILL REMIND PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE EVENTS. 
          OH, THESE HAPPENING OR COMING UP, UH, WITHIN THE SEASON OR, UH, ART GALLERY EXHIBITS, ART GALLERY. 
          THAT'S AN, IT'S AN INTERESTING QUESTION THAT YOU BRING UP IN MIDTOWN ATLANTA. 
          THEY ACTUALLY DID INVITE THEIR ARTS INSTITUTIONS IN ATLANTA TO SUBMIT A BANNER TO BE INCLUDED AND PEPPERED THROUGHOUT THEIR COLLECTION OF WHAT? I THINK THEY HAVE LIKE 350 BANNERS. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, SO THERE'S, THE SYMPHONY HAS A BANNER, THE BALLET HAS A BANNER. 
          THE WOODRUFF CENTER HAS A BANNER. 
          THE HIGH MUSEUM HAS A BANNER. 
          SO THERE, THEY, THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO BRING THOSE OTHER BAND, OTHER ARTS INSTITUTIONS AND EXHIBITS INTO THAT DISPLAY, LIKE THE, LIKE AN AD CAMPAIGN IN BETWEEN, UH, FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON, JUST TO LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT, HEY, THERE'S MORE TO SEE THAN JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD EVERY DAY. 
          WE CHOSE NOT TO TACKLE THAT ONE THIS YEAR, , WE THOUGHT WE'RE GONNA FOCUS ON THE ART AND THEN WE'LL SEE IF THAT TAKES US. 
          WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO CHANGING AND MODIFYING THE BAND, THE PLAN OF THE VISION, BUT FOR NOW WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO, WE'RE NARROW THE FIELD FROM 183 ARTWORKS TO 38  AND JUST, UM, IF YOU HAVE EVENTS 
          [01:20:01]
AND THINGS LIKE THAT, IT REALLY BECOMES MORE OF A SIGN THAN AN ART GALLERY. 
          I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THAT. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE CROSSING BEYOND. 
          YEAH. 
          AND A LOT OF THAT IS DOWNTOWN. 
          YEAH. 
          THE BANNERS THAT ARE DOWNTOWN, TALK ABOUT ALL THOSE HAVE A LOT OF THOSE KIND OF ADS, IF YOU WILL, SO TO SPEAK. 
          WHEN WE WERE EVEN DESIGNING THE TEMPLATE FOR THESE, WE INTENTIONALLY LEFT THE, OUR LOGO OFF OF ALL OF THESE BANNERS. 
          SEEMS LIKE A BAD PLAN FOR A MARKETING CAMPAIGN. 
          BUT , THAT'S WHY WE PUT TITLE BANNERS IN THERE BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO THANK OUR SPONSORS. 
          AND THE CITY HAS BEEN VERY GENEROUS WITH THEIR TIME AND SUPPORT SO FAR. 
          THE A CBB HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT GENEROUS TO SUPPORT THIS OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN A FUNDER FOR THE BANNERS IN TOWN. 
          UM, AND TO HAVE, AND SHE SAID, FIRST OF ALL, TO HAVE AN ORGANIZATION THAT WANTS TO TAKE ON THIS PROJECT IS BIG BECAUSE AS THEY, THEY CHANGE THOSE BANNERS OUT PERIODICALLY. 
          HOWEVER, UM, WE TRIED TO MAKE THESE BANNERS JUST ABOUT THE ART, BUT WITH SOME KIND OF A TEMPLATE TO GIVE IT SOME SORT OF A FRAME. 
          SO WE JUST PUT ALPHARETTA SO THAT THEY KNEW WHERE THEY WERE. 
          AND GALLERY EAST WAS OUR, OUR NAME FOR THE COLLECTION. 
          CAN I THROW ONE MORE COMMENT IN HERE? , THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE WORK YOU DO. 
          UM, I FOUND OUT THIS WEEK THAT GEORGIA IS DEAD LAST AND PER CAPITA SPENDING ON PUBLIC ART. 
          WHAT, WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS EXTRAORDINARY TO PUT OUR ARTISTS AND OUR ART ORGANIZATIONS OUT IN THE PUBLIC. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          MAY I CLOSE THE FLOOR TO DEBATE? ALL RIGHT. 
          IT HAS BEEN MOVED BY COMMISSIONER HANNAH AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ THAT WE RECOMMEND THE LAMP POST GALLERY. 
          I WILL NOW CALL FOR RECOMMENDATION. 
          I YOU A VOTE, RIGHT? DID YOU WANNA MODIFY MICHAEL? YEAH. 
          DO I GET TO MODIFY IT? THE SPLIT? NO, WE HAVE TO. 
          AND TURN THIS ONE DOWN AND THEN YOU CAN PROPOSE A MOTION. 
          IS THAT CORRECT, LAURA? YES. 
          SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO THE EVERY THIRD, THEN YOU FIRST HAVE TO VOTE THIS ONE DOWN AND THEN DO A SECOND RECOMMENDATION WITH MODIFICATION. 
          BUT THAT'S ALSO ASSUMING THE REST OF US ARE GOING TO SUPPORT YOU. 
          , IF THE MOTION PASSES, THE MOTION PASSES. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          I MAKE A MOTION TO TURN DOWN. 
          OH, WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR ALREADY TO APPROVE. 
          WE ALL VOTE NOW WE'LL GO TO VOTE. 
          CORRECT. 
          AND, OKAY. 
          AND IF YOU DISAGREE, THEN VOTE NO. 
          SO THE MOTION WAS TO, TO RECOMMEND. 
          RECOMMEND AS IS. 
          YES. 
          I ALSO PROPOSING TO SAY TURN IT DOWN, SO CAN CHANGE IT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THE MOTION? NO, SOMEONE HAS NOT VOTED. 
          OH, SAM. 
          OKAY. 
          THE MOTION PASSES. 
          , CONGRATULATIONS. 
          AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. 
          I JUST EXPLAINED THAT WE WORKED SO HARD. 
          I BROUGHT THIS TO THE COMMITTEE BACK IN JULY, , AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING STEADILY SINCE THEN TO PUT THE PROPOSALS TOGETHER TO DO THE RESEARCH ON THE VENDORS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE LAMPPOSTS POSITIONS CORRECT BY WALKING THE STREETS. 
          I MEAN, I CAN GO ON AND ON, BUT THIS TEAM HAS BEEN AMAZING. 
          WE HAVE BEEN IN THE TRENCHES AND I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SUPPORT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, IT MEANS A LOT THAT YOU ALL HAVE SAID THAT YOU TRUST OUR JUDGMENT AND THAT YOU, YOU RECOGNIZE THE ENERGY THAT WE PUT IN BEHIND THIS. 
          THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING WE THOUGHT ABOUT LIGHTLY. 
          OUR TOP RED IS NOT A HUGE, MASSIVE ORGANIZATION. 
          WE'RE NOT A GIANT NONPROFIT, BUT THIS WAS ONE THAT SORT OF FIT IN OUR BUDGET AND FIT IN OUR WHEELHOUSE AND IT GAVE US A CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING THAT'S NOT ALREADY HERE. 
          SO WE'RE DELIGHTED AND VERY HONORED AND PLEASED THAT YOU ARE WILL TAKE THIS FORWARD. 
          AND I KNOW THIS IS ON CITY PROPERTY, SO I KNOW IT HAS ANOTHER STEP AND UH, WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT. 
          BUT THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU ALL OF YOU GUYS. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          LET ME ALSO ENTER FOR THE RECORD, 'CAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE I DID. 
          THE VOTE WAS FOR YES TO NO. 
          UH, THAT SAID, COMMISSIONERS IF SUPPORTED THE PROJECT JUST SUPPORTED YOU TO THAT SAID COMMISSIONERS. 
          THIS IS A SORT OF PILOT PROJECT THAT WILL COME UP AGAIN NEXT YEAR AND WE CAN, WE CAN USE WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED THIS TIME NEXT YEAR. 
          ALL RIGHT, NOW WE ARE AT STAFF 
          [6. STAFF PRESENTATIONS]
PRESENTATIONS. 
          SO I HAVE A SHORT REPORT INTENTIONALLY 'CAUSE I KNEW WE HAD A LOT TO DISCUSS TONIGHT. 
          SO, UM, 
          [01:25:01]
CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? MM-HMM. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, WANTED TO SHARE THAT WE COMPLETED WITH THE ARTS AND CULTURE MASTER PLAN. 
          WE COMPLETED ONE OF OUR FIRST INITIATIVES, AND THIS WAS PUTTING ON OUR NONPROFIT WORKSHOP SERIES. 
          SO WE, THEY WENT EXTREMELY WELL, UH, PURPOSE POSSIBLE WHO WORKED ON THE ARTS AND CULTURE MASTER PLAN WAS OUT. 
          AND THEY, THEY DID ALL THREE, UM, ALL THREE WORKSHOPS, MANAGING A BOARD OF DIRECTORS. 
          AND I DO HAVE HER PRINTOUT, I MEAN HER PRESENTATION FROM EACH ONE. 
          IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT, I CAN SHARE IT WITH YOU. 
          AND FUTURE PROOF IN YOUR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY AS A TOOL FOR NONPROFITS. 
          WE HAD PROBABLY ABOUT 15 PEOPLE AT EACH ONE, WHICH SEEMED A LITTLE LOWER, BUT WITHIN THE 15 PEOPLE WE HAD ABOUT SEVEN GROUPS REPRESENTED. 
          SO I SEE THAT AS A SUCCESS. 
          AND WHAT WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF NEAT AFTERWARDS IS PEOPLE WOULD TALK, THEY WOULD COLLABORATE. 
          IT'S REALLY WHAT WE WANTED. 
          THEY START SAYING, OH, I CAN HELP YOU WITH THIS AND I CAN, OH, I'VE DONE THAT BEFORE. 
          SO THAT PART I ENJOYED THE MOST FROM THIS. 
          AND SO I'D BE HAPPY TO SHARE THE PRESENTATIONS WITH YOU IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE THAT. 
          I WAS GONNA ASK IF YOU HAD SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD SEND OVER. 
          I DO. 
          I CAN SEND THAT TO YOU. 
          GREAT. 
          MATILDA'S AT THE SPOTLIGHT. 
          SO WANTED TO SHARE OUR SHOW ON MARCH 7TH. 
          THIS IS THE LINE OUTSIDE THE SPOTLIGHT. 
          THEY'RE WAITING, UH, RIGHT HERE. 
          THIS IS KIRSTEN. 
          SHE IS ONE OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS AND SHE DOES OURSELVES AND SHE'S OUR EVENT PERSON THAT'S SELLING THE SPACE ALONG WITH DANIEL DOMINIQUE. 
          THAT WAS OUR LINE AS THEY CHECK IN THEIR TICKETS IN THE GREEN ROOM. 
          THIS IS, UH, MARY JANE POTTER, WHO'S BACK THERE WITH OUR THREE MUSICIANS. 
          THIS IS OUR THREE MUSICIANS ON STAGE. 
          IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT. 
          WE SOLD OUT AND THIS WAS OUR ROOM. 
          WE SAT AT TABLES, WE HAD THE LIGHTS. 
          IF YOU'VE BEEN AT MATILDA'S BEFORE OUTDOORS, SHE HAS THE LIGHTS HANGING OVER AND WE MIMICKED THAT. 
          ONE THING I DIDN'T KNOW IS WE WERE SITTING THERE AND ROCCO WAS PLAYING. 
          HE IS 16 YEARS OLD AND HE HAS AN AMAZING VOICE. 
          HE SOUND, I MEAN, JUST HIS DEMEANOR. 
          ALL THE ARTISTS DID. 
          BUT THE REASON WHY I'M POINTING THEM OUT, I WAS TOLD THAT EVENING THAT HIS FIRST SHOW HE EVER PLAYED WAS MUSIC MATCH WHEN HE WAS 11. 
          OH. 
          SO THAT'S A BIG DEAL FOR US JUST TO HAVE. 
          AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT. 
          AND LAURA WAS WORKING ON THE ADVERTISING. 
          I DIDN'T KNOW IT UNTIL THAT NIGHT. 
          SO IF YOU CAN COME OUT TO OUR NEXT SHOW, IT'S APRIL 25TH, IT'LL BE OUR LAST OF THE LISTENING ROOM SERIES. 
          WE DID THREE FOR THE LISTENING ROOM SERIES, BUT WE HAD TO RESCHEDULE THIS ONE FOR A LATER DATE. 
          AND THAT WAS THE FIRST DATE WE HAD AVAILABLE DUE TO THE ICE. 
          AND THE WEATHER WANTED TO SHARE A PROJECT THAT IS WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. 
          THEY ARE WORKING ON SOME MONUMENTS, ENTRY MONUMENTS TO ALPHARETTA. 
          THESE ARE SIGNS, BUT I JUST, I SERVED ON THE REVIEW COMMITTEE WITH OTHERS AND WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU. 
          THIS IS NOT ANYTHING THAT'S GOING THROUGH AN ART REVIEW. 
          IT'S THROUGH A SIGN, UM, DESIGN AND REVIEW BOARD. 
          THERE WILL BE TWO. 
          THEY WANTED MONUMENTS THROUGH THE ENTRY POINTS IN THE CITY. 
          THE TWO THAT ARE PROPOSING ARE HERE RIGHT NOW. 
          THIS IS ON 400 DAYTIME VIEW DAY NIGHT. 
          THIS IS ON, UM, OH MY GOSH. 
          IT'S COMPLETELY SLIPPED OUT OF. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANOTHER ENTRY POINT HERE. 
          THIS IS A DAY NIGHT VIEW. 
          THIS WILL BE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL.
