Chair Charles Aguillon called the meeting to order at 5:34 p.m. B. There were no announcements regarding upcoming events. C. There were no citizens wishing to address the Board. D. Steve moved to accept the minutes of the November 16, 2010 meeting as distributed. Philip seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. E. Consideration of and possible action on 1. Southwestern University/3M grant, art selection committee - Charles Aguillon Charles asked Dar to explain the process by which the selection committee arrived at a decision. Dar explained that the price limitation and the subject of the sculpture were important considerations in choosing Marla Ripperda's piece, Horatio II (a somewhat fanciful interpretation of a Texas horned toad). Steve moved to accept the choice of the selection committee and Dar seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Dar will talk with. Marla about details relating to the purchase of the piece. 2. Georgetown Sculpture Tour article in the View - Karen Lange. Karen reported that the article will appear in the January issue of the View and she thanked Dar for his help with the article. the pieces that will be featured are Horatio II, the Distortionists, the rhinoceros, and one of Herb Long's pieces. The article will be mostly photos with a small amount of text. 3. Grant final reports and grant process - Charles Aguillon, Judy Fabry. Judy passed out a letter from Mickie Ross, expressing her regrets that the Museum's final report was so late. Judy said that all reports were inand that most were in the correct format. The lessons learned from this round of grants was to make clear in the application that final reports that are not submitted in the correct format will count against future grant applications. Smce that point was not made in this year's application, the Board will not be able to deduct points from the next round of applications (if there is one) for poorly written final reports. The report of the Friends of the Georgetown Symphony Society should be used as a model of what is expected in the future. 4. Art Works banners at the 9th Grade Center/public recognition — Charles Aguillon. Charles asked for the Board's support for a public reception at the 9th Grade Center, probably in late - January or early February, to recognize the work of the banner artists and to show off how the banners are now being used. He believes the school district can do the advertising and that he can find donors for cookies and punch. Steve moved to give the Board's support to this project; Philip seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. 5. Selection of one of Wes Odell's photographs to add to City art collection — Judy Fabry. Judy reported that the staff had voted for their favorite photographs and Have You Been Here, a photograph of bluebonnets in a rural location, had received the most votes. The photograph was brought into the room to show to the board. Philip moved to accept the donation and Dar seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Judy said she would contact Mr. Odell to tell him the Board's decision. 6. Possible budget allocation at mid -year — Charles Aguillon. Charles reported that Eric had heard from Paul Brandenburg that it is possible that the Board may receive $40,000 at mid -year (March 2011) if sales tax revenues continue to be high. Charles also said that he had heard organizations that received grants last year may be going directly to the Council with requests for funding for this year. 7. Request by Heather Brewer, urban forester, to fund chainsaw sculpture — Judy Fabry. Judy said Heather Brewer had contacted her about the possibility of the Board funding a chainsaw sculpture from one of the pecan stumps that are left in the Bark Park. Ms. Brewer said that the artist she'd contacted, Doug Moreland, told her that pecan does not last long outdoors and that he recommended any sculpture made from the stumps should be placed indoors. Ms. Brewer thinks that the Recreation Center would be a good place for such a sculpture. The Board discussed the project briefly and decided to recommend that Dar visit with Ms. Brewer and see the stumps. Suggestions that came up included inviting another artist(s) to give a bid and that possibly the Parks Department could trade additional wood for a single sculpture. 7. Application for Cultural District Designation — Charles Aguillon. Charles had nothing new to report on this subject. 8. Schedule for future meetings — Judy Fabry. The consensus was that the time and date for the January meeting is satisfactory with most of the board members. roesel, Soretary Charles Aguillon, Chair • Arts and Culture Board Expenses, FY 08-09, 09-10, 10-11 Unto Description idgel Deslgnau Amounl Balance Detail I of1/2008 88,718.00 10f712008 Jim Wear _ _ 400.00 08,318.00 Jim Wear consultation 10/23/2008 City of Gtwn 25.00 88,293.00 building permit for swlpture pedestal 11130I2008 Red Poppy Cafe 100.07 88.192 93 lunch for Jim Wear workshop 11001213008 Solutions 22.94 88.169.99 anchoring material for acrylic sculpture 12/12/08 Yours for Keeps 54.24 88,115.75 donor plates for artwork 12/31/08 Walker Display 141,75 87,974.00 additional hanging system equipment (library) 01131109 Wildfire 35.35. 87,938,65 lunch with Juli Fellows (Eric & Ruth 02/12/09 Juk Fellows 42000 87.518.65 consulting fee 0211IM9 Red Poppy Cafe 15.00 87.5W.65 farewell to Addie coffee & cookies 03/02109 GI X Awards 12,50 87491.15 name badges Charles & Melanie O8R0109 GTX Awards - 6.25 87,484.90 name badge for Mandy DWI AnWorks f:PA 4000.00 83.454.90 grant for Art Month banners D9126/09 GTX Awards 41 >' 358.06 83.126.04 plaque for Mutes sculpture 10t01109 Roberts Printing 173.25 82,953.59 October Arts Month postcard printing 10=9 Ideal Signs ti " I , 54,00 82.899.59 A&C banner for trmt at Art In the Square 11/05,009 Williams Co Sun 3066.40 79.833,19 112 page ads (4) for Art Month 1017,t Df11, 10114, 10/18 11105/09 Austin Chronicle 1241.00 78,592.19 114 page ad In Chronicle for Art Month 10/10 11/13/09 Downtown Gtwn 100.00 78.492.19 rent for two booths at Christmas Stroll, 12/5/09 11119/09 Espinoza Stone 975.00 77.517,19 limestone blocks for sculpture pads in San Gabriel Park (PO 3000784) 1/19/2010 Monument Cafe tri _ 50,60 77 466.59 lunch/Agrdllon.
