Barely yeah good, all right, uh sean starwitz.

D

uh City of bloomington esd, uh the city of bloomington, economic, sustainable.

D

Development department board of public work uh board of parks.

Council, the bloomington arts commission, the office of the mayor community, family.

Following saturday from 8am to 8pm, we are also planning an.

D

For our black and brown residents, who have been fighting for justice.

D

Inequality and I'm happy to answer any questions.

D

That you all may have, on behalf of any of those departments or.

D

Involved thanks so much sean, I'm just go ahead. Yeah go ahead. Beth.

B

I just have a question about the possibility of defacement of the mural.

B

Do you have, is there any way that there's a camera or anything on the.

B

Building that could uh capture this. If it does happen, that's a.

D

That's a great question um that has been brought up. I think.

D

Based off of the conversation with the banneker advisory council, who's been.

D

Really leading this conversation um want to use that, as uh you know,.

D

If there is defacement, that's part of the process of this mural.

D

Obviously, we'll we would uh pay the artist to come back in and do.

D

Maintenance um there was a similar incident that happened in indy, where it was defaced and the artist.

D

Actually um wanted the defacement to stay because.

D

That showed that there's still work that needs to be done in in the.

D

Community of indianapolis, so it's kind of uh there isn't a camera.

D

Necessarily on the banneker elm street viewing point of view, so I.

D

Think that would be part of the conversation between artists uh in the community itself about why this mural would have been defaced.

D

And those kinds of things, so it's really kind of up to the artist.

D

To kind of guide us on how we want to handle that, but.

D

We do have maintenance funds that the bac kind of oversees.

D

We've partnered with parks and public works.

D

On various opportunities or maintenance issues, when those arise.

B

Thank you, sean.

A

Do we have any public comment.

C

I do not see any at this time.

C

And there's nothing on the chat, so I don't see anything.

C
