Description
Fine Arts and Culture Commission Meeting 042221
A
A
A
A
C
D
C
I
know
that
they
were
limiting
attendance
to
both
of
them.
I
did
see
the
one
for
north
central
park
and
that
was
a
mural
by
gustavo
estrada
the
ghost,
and
I
know
they
also
asked
our
poet
laureate
to
read
a
poem
and
she
read
a
poem
about
the
rio
grande
because
it
was
also
a
celebrating
earth
day.
That's
nice,
very
nice,
very
nice.
We
still
councilwoman
alicia,
has
still
not
appointed
anybody.
So
julio
we're
glad
you're
still
here.
F
A
A
Yeah
I
saw
that
too
yeah.
Okay,
well,
that
was
nice.
The
the
murals
are
beautiful,
I've
seen
them.
I
wasn't
able
to
make
it
but
yeah
they
really
are
nice.
The
clark
one
came
out
fabulous
and
I
drive
by
there
every
day
because
I
live
in
the
heights.
So
I
get
to
see
that
every
day,
which
is
very
nice.
C
A
D
A
A
F
G
Hello,
would
it
be
possible
for
me
to
share
my
screen?
Yes,
okay,
I
see
it
is
open.
Yes,
you're,
ready.
Okay,
I'm
gonna
share
my
screen.
Can
you
all
see
it?
Yes,
yes,
okay,
wonderful!
So
you
know
in
this
the
last
I
guess,
since
we
last
saw
you,
we
have
advanced
our
work.
We
met
with
the
staff
committee.
G
G
So
you
know,
of
course,
it
was
adopted
in
2019.
Your
key
terms,
cip,
is
the
capital
improvement.
Projects
percent
for
art
is
the
two
percent
of
the
construction
budget
of
eligible
cips
for
art,
and
then
public
art
is
just
art.
That's
publicly
accessible,
visual
artworks,
publicly
accessible,
visual
artworks
and
throughout
the
presentation,
you'll
see
examples
of
some
of
my
favorite
projects
throughout
the
throughout
the
world.
G
G
You
know,
of
course,
the
responsibility
of
the
library
director
to
work
with
you
all
to
fulfill
the
following,
which
is
to
administer
the
program
and
to
appropriately
staff
the
program,
and
so
every
year,
a
there's
supposed
to
be
an
annual
public
art
plan
and
it's
supposed
to
align
with
the
master
plan.
So
you
know
you
haven't
done
that
because
you
haven't
had
the
master
plan,
but
it
needs
to
contain.
You
know
projects
that
are
anticipated
for
the
next
year.
G
But
it's
you
know
related
to
the
policies
and
guidelines
and
budgets,
and
you
know
what
needs
to
be
in
the
annual
report
and
how
to
do
artist
commissions
and
the
artist
selection
process
and
I'll
email,
this
presentation
to
maria,
so
she
can
distribute
to
you
all
just
so.
You
have
the
information
all
in
one
place.
You
know
we'll
recommend
other
sources
of
funding
and
reviewing
the
survey
you
know
and
surveying
all
of
the
city's
public
art
collection.
G
H
G
G
You
know,
or
you
know,
example
the
the
new
murals
that
you
just
talked
about-
maybe
they're
not
on
this
list
yet
right,
so
just
making
sure
that
it's
that
it's
up
up
to
date,
as
we
know
projects
are
happening
and
then
we'll
we'll.
Also
in
the
in
the
in
our
master
plan
we'll
explore.
You
know,
repair
and
maintenance,
and
you
know
how
much
needs
to
be
kept
in
funds
for
maintenance,
because
with
public
art,
fun
with
public
art.
Sorry,
with
percent
for
art
dollars
the
maintenance
of
new
stop.
G
Yep
national
best
practice,
yep
and
again
just
the
you
know,
policies,
guidelines
and
you
know
community
arts,
education,
programs
and
then
what
are
the
personnel
needs.
So,
according
to
the
to
the
ordinance,
there
should
be
a
a
staff
person,
that's
designated
that's
dedicated
to
the
public
art
program
and
it
does
allow
the
ordinance
does
allow
for
15
percent
of
the
funds
from
the
2
percent.
G
The
set
aside
for
program
administration,
and
so
it
does
require
a
person
with
the
knowledge
and
expertise
in
you
know,
preferably
in
fine
arts,
preferably
really
in
public
arts.
But
you
know
even
just
fine
arts.
You
know
to
date,
there
hasn't
been
staff
assigned
there's
due
to
the
lack
of
capacity.
G
The
public
art
program's
been
slow
to
implement,
and
you
know
the
personnel
it
could
be
staff
or
it
could
start
off
as
consultants
just
to
help
guide,
maybe
the
first
couple
of
years
until
until
you're
ready
for
a
staff
member,
but
regardless
the
the
funds
that
do
come
in
through
the
percent
for
art.
There
should
be
that
15
set
aside
for
that,
even
if
it's
not
used
to
just
at
least
start
the
pot
to
be
able
to
hire
somebody
to
to
administer
the
program
and,
let's
see
what
else
next
slide
is.
G
What
is
a
good
role
for
for
the
art
commission.
You
know,
of
course,
you
serve
as
a
the
voice
of
the
community
and
you'll
make
recommendations
as
we
go
through
the
process
of
the
master
plan.
You
know
you're
not
suited
to
directly
administer
and
manage
the
city
program,
or
the
ordinance
doesn't
allow
that
right
so,
but
you
may
be
requested
to
carry
out
tasks.
G
You
know
you'll
review
staff
reports
and
recommendations
and
you'll
make
recommendations
to
the
staff
and
city
council
on
specific
matters,
and
you
work
in
cooperation
with
the
library,
director
and
program
staff,
and
your
specific
duties
are
to
review
and
comment
on.
The
public,
art
master
plan
and
annual
public
art
plan
to
review
and
comment
on.
The
annual
reports
assist
with
the
review
or
review
or
the
adoption
of
the
standards
for
the
artist
artwork
selection,
and
you
know,
review
the
renderings
of
the
artwork
that
that
comes
through
through
the
these
funds.
G
G
2
of
construction
costs,
so
there's
a
lot
of
costs
in
cip
projects
that
are
not
construction
costs.
It's
you
know
subterranean
cranial
and
those
types
of
things
so
it
does
take.
The
finance
department
has
to
go
through
each
of
those
line
items
and
determine
how
much
of
it
goes
to
towards
the
percent
for
art.
G
So
if
and
and
the
funds
are
supposed
to
be
spent
within
that
individual
project
that
the
funds
are
coming
from
and
if
that's
not
feasible,
you
know,
for
example,
if
the
developer
says
no,
we
don't
want
to
do
it
then,
or
for
whatever
reason,
then,
that
that
money
can
be
put
into
a
public
art
fund,
and
then
it
can
be
spent
on
major
projects.
Citywide,
but
again,
15
needs
to
be
allocated
to
program
administration,
so
basically
for
every
cip
project.
G
G
They
need
to
track
and
report
the
data
and
the
ordinance
you
see.
This
provides
based
funding
for
the
program
staff
and
its
activities.
The
ordinance
expresses
an
intent
for
the
inclusion
of
public
art,
appropriate
capital
improvements,
so
per
this
language,
you
know
again,
it
needs
the
the
funds
should
be
retained
within
that
project
and
integrated
into
that
project,
wherever
it's
feasible.
G
City-Wide,
and
so,
if
that's
the
case-
and
that
is
you
know-
we
find
out
through
this
process-
that
that's
really
what
laredo
prefers
to
do
is
to
make
sure
that
you
know
it's
equitable
across
all
of
the
city.
Then
the
ordinance
might
need
to
be
amended,
because
currently,
the
way
that
it
stated
is
the
funds
should
be.
You
know
spent
on
whatever
the
cip
project
is
and
that's
where
the
public
art
should
be.
H
G
I
mean
technically
their
discretionary
fund.
They
can
use
that
for
public
art,
but
it's
not
a
part
of
this
year,
right,
yeah
right
and
so
so.
Definitely
so
definitely
you
know.
According
to
this
ordinance
it
you
know
that
that
wasn't
the
process
that
it
should
have
should
have
been,
but
sometimes
in
the
first
year
you
don't
have
all
of
the
you
know,
policies
and
everything
in
place.
So
it's
kind
of
a
you
know
the
wild
west
right,
but.
G
G
G
You
know
six
to
ten
proposed
projects,
and
you
know
each
budgeted
at
ten
to
fifty
and
the
project
implementation
would
begin
after
the
public
art
master
plan
is
adopted
to
ensure
that
all
the
required
policies,
guidance
and
all
the
processes
are
in
place
so
that
you
know,
hopefully
that
doesn't
happen
again
and
then
what
are
the
next
steps
to
secure
the
funds?
So
we
need
to
the
annual
public
art
plan
for
the
fiscal
year.
2022
will
need
to
be
submitted.
G
The
plan
is
going
to
need
to
contain
the
list
of
the
new
proposed
projects
for
each
project.
You
know,
like
I
said
earlier,
it's
in
your
budget
and
location
and
all
of
these
things,
which
we
will
help
you
develop,
but
really,
I
guess
the
step
before
this
is
maria
will
be,
I
guess,
getting
together
with
finance
so
that
they
can
give
you
all
the
number
of
what
it
you
know.
G
What's
the
expected
funds
so
that
you
know
how
to
or
you
know
we
can
guide
you
on
how
to
allocate
it
and
so
that
it's
equitable
across
the
districts,
but
that
you
know
the
the
wider
community
has
a
say
in
in
what
gets
done
with
your
recommendations
and
staff
recommendations
and
all
of
that.
So
what
else
does
the
ordinance
requires
again
to
produce
an
annual
report
on
the
program?
Its
activities
what's
been
spent?
F
E
I
have
a
question
since
you
guys
are
here
to
kind
of
give
us
some
guidance.
I
know
I
was
on
a
call
with
the
texans
for
the
arts
yesterday
and
they
were
saying
that
there's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
monies
available
through
the
american
rescue
plan,
and
I
know
they
were
saying
that
it's
up
to
the
city
to
advocate
for
these
months.
Whatever
budgets,
we
have
that.
G
Yeah
I
mean
I
think
that
is
definitely
something
that
we
all
we
can
help
you
all
with.
I
have
heard
it
do
several
just
other.
You
know
clients
that
they
are
actively.
You
know.
The
federal
government
is
actively
looking
at
cip
projects
and
they're.
Looking
for
recommendations
on
where
you
know,
you
know
for
these
this
type
of
input,
so
we
don't
know
what
that
process
is
yet,
but
that's
definitely
something
that
we
can
that
we
can
work
on
and
and
yeah
as
a
part
of
this.
H
B
A
G
E
F
H
Before
we
could
answer
that,
question,
like
I
said
I
want
to,
I
want
to
stay
true
to
what
we're
at
tasks
for,
and
I
don't
wanna
wanna,
I
we
don't
wanna
over
promise,
but
we'll
check
with
maria
and
and
then
we'll
see
what
the
process
is
to
then
move
forward,
but
we
definitely
believe
what
your
process
just
mentioned.
Yeah
it
just
makes
sense
right
to
do
it
that
way.
H
E
E
G
G
You
know,
I
think,
we'll
what
we'll
do
is
maybe
at
our
next
meeting.
I
I
don't
know
for
sure,
but
we
will
we
have
like
this.
We
call
it
our
idea
book
and
we
have
like
20
different
types
of
projects
and
examples
of
each
of
these
types
of
projects,
because
a
lot
of
times
when
we
work
with
you
know,
commissions
and
committees,
they're,
not
necessarily
aware
of
all
the
different
types
of
projects.
Maybe
you
are
maybe
you're
not
so
we
like
to
present
that
that
that
idea,
book
yeah.
H
E
No,
no,
it's
great
to
always
have
a
refresher
course.
It's
just
I.
I
myself
have
a
baby
wish
list
of
things
that
I
would
like
the
city
to
do
as
a
whole,
like
I'm
sure,
you're
familiar
with
luminaria.
I
saw
one
of
the
pictures
there
and
I
think
in
the
first
screen.
I
would
love
for
the
city
of
laredo
to
do
something
similar
to
luminaria,
where
it's
a
light,
art
and
sound
festival.
E
And
then
I
really
want
to
do
something
similar
to
what
water
creek
conservat
conservatory
has
done.
Where
we
integrate
like
our
local
creeks.
In
it
I
mean
we
have
some
great
creeks
like
in
the
downtown
area
and
stuff,
and
I
just
see
them
every
day,
and
I
just
want
to
do
this,
and
I
would
love
to
bring
like
installation
art
and
incorporate
it
into
that.
G
You
know
you,
your
committee
and
the
staff,
your
commission
and
the
staff
committee
will
we'll
both
you
know,
we'll
look
at
all
of
the
recommendations
along
the
way.
We'll
do
we'll
do
surveys.
You
know
we
just
did
one
we're
working
with
the
city
of
league
city
they're,
smaller
city
than
you
all,
but
we
did
a
online
survey
and
it
was.
G
H
G
G
H
If
you,
if
I
will
yeah
I'll
share,
you
know
bpa,
you
know
we,
you
should
we
sit
on
several
committees
for
the
bpa,
which
is
the
bayou
preservation
association.
I'm
sure
you
all
heard
of
us.
You
know
houston's
the
bayou
city
right.
So
all
the
values
lead
to
these
creeks
and
waterways
that
eventually
lead
into
the
gulf
that
you
know,
I'm
big,
I'm
big
on
conservation.
You
know
I'm
the
worst
recycler,
though.
H
G
There's
like
there's
like
a
project
in
austin
drains
to
creeks,
and
it's
like
a
campaign.
They
paint
like
all
of
the
drains
as
an
awareness
campaign
that
hey,
if
you
leave
trash-
and
it
goes
down
that
drain,
it's
gonna
end
up
in
our
creeks
or
in
our
in
our
waterways,
include
our
waterways,
and
so
it's
like
a
information
campaign.
But
it's
super
colorful.
G
D
Know
one
of
the
things
that
we
keep
talking
about.
We
have
a
beautiful
part
of
the
park
which
is
beautiful
and
we
have
been
talking
about
kind
of
having
an
amphitheater
where
we
could
bring
in
musicians
and
and
have
different
projects
there.
It
is
beautiful,
that's
what
we
had.
Google
map
come
in
and
do
a
concert
and
it
was
beautiful.
D
It
was
out
in
the
open,
but
it
would
be
wonderful
if
we
had
kind
of
like
an
amphitheater
where
we
could
invite
musicians
and
poets,
and
you
know
just
have
a
community
there
enjoying
that
beautiful
area.
I
think
that's
something
that
sometime
in
the
future.
We
we
need
to
look
at
because
we
really
do
have
a
place
like
that
that
we
can
utilize
in
more
than
one
way.
You
know,
and
maybe
that's
something
that
we
would
want
to
look
at
in
the
future.
E
A
A
A
A
H
H
Pulled
himself
by
the
bootstraps
was
became
a
millionaire
funded,
the
levitt
pavilion
in
los
angeles
and
his
passing,
created
the
foundations,
the
pavilion
and
they
now
have
pavilions
across
the
united
states
they're
bringing
in
oh
my
gosh
50,
some
odd
free
shows
to
the
public.
You
know
they're
opening.
You
know
we
sit
here
on
on
the
and
we
sat
on
the
on
the
on
the
arts
council
for
the
levitt
pavilion
for
that's
getting
done.
H
H
H
So
I
think
that
you
know,
aside
aside
from
you,
know
the
environmental
issues
that
are
within
every
you
know,
municipality.
You
know
with
with
water,
someone
mentioned
the
water.
Well,
you
know
that
civilization
for
you
all
right,
so
we
we
want
to
take
the
best
that
we
can
and-
and
you
know,
life
gives
you
lemons.
You
know
make
margaritas.
A
A
F
A
A
I
mean
you're
gonna,
send
it
to
us,
because
you
know
we
kind
of
went
through
it
really
quickly.
I
think
we
have.
We
have
the
basic
idea,
it's
basically
what
was
said
when
they
allocated
that
first
ordinance
pretty
much,
but
they've
made
it
a
lot
more
clear
and
added
things
to
it
so
yeah
as
soon
as
we
get
that,
I
think
we'll
have
more
input
on
what
it
says
there.
F
G
H
F
H
Again,
if
there,
if
once
we
send
this
out
to
you
and
you
have
any
questions
on
it,
please
address
them
and
we
look
forward
ellie
and
I
are
planning
our
first
trip.
We
are
now
fully
vaccinated.
I
don't
know
if
we
told
you
that
last
time,
but
I'm
proud
of
it,
you
know
so
we
are
fully
vaxxed
and
we
are
getting
ready
to
do
some.
I
think.
H
H
A
A
B
C
A
In
in
the
absence
of
the
chairperson,
the
co-chairperson
takes
over
or
the
assistant
chairperson,
I
don't
know
what
the
title
is,
but
yes
and
then
yeah
co-chair.
So
I
know
there
are
also
times
when
I've
attended
city
council
meetings
and
been
involved
in
the
discussion.
I
was
involved
in
the
discussion
of
the
two
percent
from
the
cip
plan
back
in
the
day
when
they
start
when
we
presented
that
to
the
city
council.
A
Are
we
all
in
favor,
aye,
aye,
aye?
Okay,
anybody
opposed
okay.
So
do
we
need
a
motion?
Did
I
even
hear
he
did
we
make
a
motion
yeah?
She
moved.
Somebody
moved
okay,
so
a
second
to
that
motion
and
then
we
all
agree
a
second
to
that
motion,
please,
okay
and
then
all
in
favor,
aye,
aye,
aye,
okay,
so
the
new
chairperson
is
amanda
lopez
and
now
can
I
have
the
nomination
for
the
co-chairperson.
A
A
A
It's
been
a
great
time
and
a
great
privilege.
Let
me
tell
you
and
you're
still
here,
I'm
still
here.
Yes,
thank
god,
my
my
dad
put
me
back
on.
So
I'm
very
I'm
very
happy
that
he
did
that
okay.
So
then
the
new
chairperson,
mondo
you're
not
around
to
schedule
the
next
meeting
we'll
leave
that
up
to
marie.
C
A
So,
if
you
know
of
anything
like
that,
encourage
people
to
make
presentations
to
this
committee,
that's
kind
of
what
we're
here
for
also
so
yeah
and
it's
great
to
know
what
people
are
thinking
about
for
being
involved
in
laredo
in
the
arts
yeah.
So
if
you're
out
there
talking
yeah
get
get
people
to
come
in.
F

going
to
submit
now
in
june
so
that
she
can,
you
know,

to
us
a
little
bit
about
the
loredo
cultural
district,
and
you
know
what
some
of
the
things
that
are
happening
so
far.
I
know
that
everybody's
been
very
active
on
that
and
they
have
they're
revamping
the
the
presentation
that
we
did
the
last
time
in
order
to
make
it
a
little
bit
more
attractive.
