2. Review and Discuss Revised Concept Sketches for Watters Branch Public Art Project
The Committee connected with Watters Branch Park Artists, Carol May and Tim Watkins, via
Skype to review the garden sculpture concepts. The feedback was positive and the Committee
liked the inspiration of the plant materials. Details such as the naming of each piece, the design
of the bases, the removal of the boulders previously presented and location of the pieces were
also discussed. The artists will develop three bench concepts that will be presented at the April
meeting.
3. Update on Current Projects
Staff is working to finalize contract details with Ford Pool Mosaic artist, Joshua Winer and then
will take the contract to City Council for approval.
