Discussion Items
3. Overview of Committee Rules and Protocol
Lori Smeby gave an overview of the rules and protocol for the members, including the open
meeting format, absences allowed per year, and limitation on discussions pertaining to business
and or decisions outside the meeting.
4. Update on available art project funds
Mrs. Smeby reminded the members as to how funds are allocated through bond sales. Current

projects. Bonds slated to sell for 2011 stand at $304,000.
5. Discussion and overview of art selection panel process
Mrs. Smeby spoke to the members concerning the information article for the Allen Image
Magazine, intended to gamer public awareness as well as direct those interested in serving to the
website and an interest form. The article will run in the December issue of the Allen Image. She
then presented the members with a draft of the information form to gain their input. After a
discussion of the form, the members requested that language be added to inform the interested
party that the completion of the form would not guarantee placement on a panel, but rather serves
as the first step in the process. Staff may also contact the interested parties to explain the process.

discussed at the next meeting. Matt McComb further explained the project and members
