1. Bridge & Planter Artwork- Staff went to the Clay Place to check on the new painted
design for the planter tiles the Artist, Jim Rice, was doing. He informed staff that the
cost is more with the new design idea he has. George Douglas brought up that it's not
very visible because the cars drive by so fast it's hard to spend that much money on art
work with a limited visibility. He would prefer to spend the money on a more visible
art display where people could actually go and enjoy it. Maurice made a motion for
Staff to do a calling all artists to find a more cost effective design, Sandra Arafet 2nd
