ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA None UNFINISHED BUSINESS City Hall Permanent Sculpture Chair Polumbus indicated Vice-Chair Schmidt would attend the June 16, 2020 Council meeting for their consideration of Gusto. She asked the Commission to contact their Council liaisons in support of the sculpture. Director Sager noted staff had not received any feedback from the article in the Village Crier about the new sculpture. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission June 1, 2020 - I - Kendall Peterson, ThereSquared LLC, advised the Commission to include language in their communications to Council explaining the funding for the sculpture had been budgeted long before COVID-19. Chair Polumbus stated she did not foresee a dedication event for the sculpture occurring this year. Ms. Peterson suggested the Commission could make a video with statements from the artist and Commissioners to post on the City’s website and host a Meet the Artist night when the artist was in town for a show. John Meade Park Permanent Sculpture Commissioner Finger reported the Cherry Hills Land Preserve (CHLP) was interested in donating funds for a permanent sculpture that was interactive and representational to be placed in John Meade Park. Chair Polumbus thanked Ms. Peterson for putting together the list of artists included in the packet. She suggested representatives of the CHLP and the Parks, Trails and Recreation Commission (PTRC) be invited to the next CHVAC meeting and all three groups review the artist list together. Commissioner Finger asked if everyone should review the list in advance of the meeting. Chair Polumbus confirmed that was her preference. Ms. Peterson added she welcomed additional names to be added to the list for the group to consider. She noted some questions to discuss were local versus regional artists, animals versus human, and purely realistic versus more playful. Next Art Show Commissioner Lynch reported she was working with Susan Cooper to remove her art show from City Hall and would also coordinate with Duke Beardsley’s representative to move High Line Regulars back into the main entryway. Commissioner Finger reported staff had received one submittal from a photographer for the next art show. She noted the Commission could do a show with just one artist if they limited it to the hallway between the front doors and Council Chambers. She indicated the show could begin in late summer or early fall. The Commission decided to advertise the call for artists in the Village Crier one more time before making a final decision. Susan Cooper Possible Donation Commissioner Lynch reported she had worked with artist Susan Cooper on a suggested location for the piece Ms. Cooper wished to donate to the City, and they had determined the alcove by the bailiff’s desk would be an ideal location because it would provide a solid background for the piece and be visible to the public as they entered the building. The Commission agreed that was a good location for the piece. Commissioner Lynch indicated Ms. Cooper understood the City would own the piece and would ultimately make the decision about where to locate it. She added Ms. Cooper would provide the equipment to clean the piece and agreed to repair it as long as she was alive at no cost to the City, and that stipulation would be included in the donation agreement. She indicated she would work with Ms. Cherry Hills Village Ar Commission Junel,2020 -2- Cooper on the donation application for official consideration by the Commission at the next meeting. NEW BUSINESS Appointment of Chair and Vice-Chair Chair Polumbus suggested the new chair and vice-chair be appointed without a term, and once the Commission had its new members the issue could be revisited. She proposed Vice-Chair Schmidt be appointed as chair. Vice-Chair Schmidt proposed Commissioner Lynch. City Clerk Gillespie suggested the Commission could appoint co-chairs if no one was comfortable taking on the role of chair. Commissioner Finger moved, seconded by Commissioner Hall, to appoint Dave Schmidt and Alison Lynch to the position of co-chairs of the Art Commission. The following votes were recorded: Lynch yes Warren yes Polumbus yes Schmidt yes Finger yes Hall yes The motion passed unanimously. REPORTS Public Art Commission Chair Village Crier The call for artists for the new Art Show would be included in the July issue of the Crier. Next Meeting The next Art Commission meeting was scheduled for Monday, June 29, 2020. Members of the Public Art Commission None City Staff Financial Report Chair Polumbus indicated the funds designated for the City Hall sculpture dedication could be removed from the budget. Commissioner Finger asked about funds designated for the Cherry Hills Land Preserve Trail Walk. Commissioner Lynch reported because of COVI D-19 the CHLP did not know if they would hold their normal events such as the Barn Party and Trail Walk. She suggested if the Trail Walk was held the CHVAC do something different than the past few years and asked the Commissioners to brainstorm new ideas. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission June 1,2020 Chair Polumbus suggested mailing letters requesting donations. Commissioner Lynch noted the CHVAC could include a video about Gusto if the Trail Walk was done virtually and could fundraise through the City website. Commissioner Hall suggested if the Trail Walk was in person the video could be played on loop at the CHVAC table next to fundraising envelopes.

CALL TO ORDER Chair Polumbus called the meeting to order at 9:30 a.m. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION None CONSENT AGENDA Commissioner Finger moved, seconded by Commissioner Lynch to approve the Consent Agenda. The motion passed unanimously. ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA None Cherry Hills Village Art Commission February 24, 2020 -1- ITEM: 4a UNFINISHED BUSINESS Permanent Sculpture for the New City Hall Chair Polumbus asked staff to research whether the cost of lighting should come from the CHVAC account or a different City account. She indicated an article about Gusto would appear in the April issue of the Crier and be considered by Council for approval at their April 21, 2020 meeting. She asked which Commission members could attend. Vice Chair Schmidt, Commissioners Lynch and Hall indicated they could attend the April 21st Council meeting. Special Event Liquor Permits Chair Polumbus said she was asked by the City Manager to table this topic until the May meeting. She asked the Commission for any comments. Commissioner Hall noted it appeared the Commission would need a liquor permit for any event at a private residence and that liquor could not be donated by an individual for an event. The Commission asked staff to clarify if alcohol could be donated from individuals. Annual Event Chair Polumbus suggested holding a dedication at a resident’s home instead of a fundraising event. Commissioner Finger expressed concern the Art Donation Account was getting low. Chair Polumbus suggested donations could be accepted at the dedication. She said the Land Preserve did that when they first started. Commissioner Finger agreed the High Line Canal Conservancy did that as well. She asked what the timeframe would be for installing Gusto and noted the Commission also wanted to install a permanent piece in John Meade Park for the fall. Chair Polumbus responded if approved by Council in April the piece would probably be installed at City Hall in June with a possible dedication event in July. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission February 24, 2020 -2- ITEM: 4a Possible Art in John Meade Park/Possible 2020 Sculpture-on-Loan Commissioner Finger reported she met with Susan Maguire from the Cherry Hills Land Preserve. She explained the Land Preserve had money to contribute for a permanent art piece in John Meade Park, but they wanted the piece to be interactive, natural and realistic. She suggested the Land Preserve might be able to contribute $20,000 and the Art Commission could contribute $10,000 if they did not do a sculpture-on-loan this year. She noted the grand opening for John Meade Park was being planned in the fall and the Land Preserve would like the permanent piece installed for the event. She stated she had not heard back from Parks, Trails and Recreation Commission (PTRC) Chair Rob Eber. Commissioner Lynch volunteered to contact PTRC member Stephanie Dahl. Chair Polumbus suggested the Commission ask Kendall Peterson to bring ideas for artwork to the next meeting. Public Works Clerk Broyles noted the grand opening of the Park and the 75th Anniversary events were being planned together for September 26th. Commissioner Hall moved, seconded by Commissioner Finger to ask Ms. Peterson to assist with compiling a list of art that fit the criteria for a piece in John Meade Park, being representational and interactive. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Finger indicated she would contact Susan Maguire to let her know the CHVAC was moving forward with this project. Next Art Show Chair Polumbus asked the Commission if they wanted to consider extending the timeline for the Susan Cooper art display at City Hall. Commissioner Lynch said she would check with Ms. Cooper to see if she was interested. She asked if the Commission had a preference on how to solicit for future art shows. Commissioner Schmidt suggested placing an ad in the Village Crier with a call for local artists. Commissioner Warren suggested the next art show could include multiple artists as it was difficult for one artist to fill the space. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission February 24, 2020 -3- ITEM: 4a Commissioner Finger said she liked the idea of multiple artists and suggested the next show should be a photography art show. She said she knew a curator that might be able to help. She agreed there was no rush to set up the next show. Commissioner Lynch expressed concern the Commission was missing a whole group of people who were interested in art by only advertising in the Village Crier. She suggested looking into including an article in the Cherry Hills Village Living Magazine. Commissioner Hall indicated she knew one of the Cherry Hills Living Magazine editors and would reach out to her. Commissioner Finger added the Cherry Hills Living Magazine needed a two- month lead time for articles. Commissioner Schmidt suggested having a registration book at City Hall that people sign and make comments on the art being displayed in order to provide the Commission with some new contacts. The Commission agreed the next art show should be hung the last full week of August so it would be in place in time for the Park grand opening. Chair Polumbus suggested including photography from high school students. Commissioner Warren suggested doing an entire show of high school photography. Commissioner Finger responded she liked the idea but feels that the first show should be open to amateur and professional photographers of all ages. Chair Polumbus asked who would take the lead on the next art show. Commissioner Finger indicated she would talk with her contact about being a curator. Author Event Commissioner Lynch reported she had reached out to Laura Christman but had not received a response back. Chair Polumbus suggested the author event be put on hold until next spring when the Commission had more time. The Commission agreed to postpone the event to next spring. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission February 24, 2020 -4- ITEM: 4a Lighting for Really Commissioner Hall noted the cost to install lighting was $500 and indicated she would support the expense if the Commission agreed the location would be used for future sculptures. Commissioner Finger agreed it was a great location and needed lighting. Donation Application Commissioner Lynch reported she informed Susan Cooper that the Commission needed to approve the donation application before accepting an art donation. She indicated Ms. Cooper would like to have input on where the donated piece would be located. Ms. Cooper hoped visitors would be able to see the piece since it was particularly about Cherry Hills Village and City Hall. Commissioner Schmidt noted the Commission was considering the west wall near the Community Development desk as a possible location for the piece. Commissioner Lynch indicated she would discuss that possible location with Ms. Cooper and have her complete the donation application. Commissioner Hall suggested after an application was submitted and the Commission determined they wanted to accept the piece, they could discuss possible locations with the artist and the artist could decide if they still want to donate the piece. Commissioner Finger moved, seconded by Commissioner Lynch to approve the CHVAC donation application. The motion passed unanimously. NEW BUSINESS None REPORTS Public Art Commission Chair 2020 Budget Commissioner Hall indicated it was her understanding that the Commission was not going to do a sculpture-on-loan piece in 2020 but that it still appeared in the budget. She stated the budget deficit would be helped if the sculpture-on-loan Cherry Hills Village Art Commission February 24, 2020 -5- ITEM: 4a expense were removed. She also asked how much the Commission wanted to contribute to a permanent piece for John Meade Park. Chair Polumbus noted in the past the Commission had deferred payment until the following year. Commissioner Finger agreed the Commission had discussed not doing the sculpture-on-loan in 2020 and pointed out the Commission could also save around $5,000 by not doing an annual event. Chair Polumbus said the dedication of the permanent sculpture for City Hall would cost the Commission some money. She asked about combining the dedication with the John Meade Park grand opening event and 75th Anniversary event. Public Works Clerk Broyles noted there was a lot planned for the joint Park and Anniversary event. The Commission agreed it was better to have their dedication separate but to have the City Hall sculpture installed and the new art show hung prior to the Park/Anniversary event. Commissioner Finger moved, seconded by Commissioner Lynch that the Commission not have a 2020 sculpture-on-loan piece. The motion passed unanimously. Village Crier Chair Polumbus reported the article soliciting for applications was in the March issue of the Crier and the Gusto piece would be featured in the April issue. She encouraged the Commission to invite people to apply to be on the Commission. Commissioner Finger indicated she would work on an article for the next art show. Next Meeting The Commission requested City Clerk Gillespie email some alternate meeting dates for the March meeting.

The Commission’s recommendation was included in the April issue of the Village Crier (see Exhibit A). Mission Statement At the October 28, 2019 meeting the Commission approved the following Mission Statement for the art selection process: Select a talented regional artist. The piece should engage and inspire through the transformative power of art. The piece should be • Welcoming and reflect the civic nature of the City Hall • Evoke thoughtfulness, curiosity, and Wow Selection After reviewing many artists, at the January 27, 2020 meeting the Commission unanimously recommended that City Council approve the purchase of Gusto by Gilberto Romero. 1 Budget The purchase price of the piece is $60,000; $45,000 will be paid from the COP Fund and $15,000, plus the cost of installation, will be paid from the Art Donation Account.

DISCUSSION At the January and February meetings the Commission discussed the option of working with the Parks, Trails and Recreation Commission (PTRC) and the Cherry Hills Land Preserve (CHLP) on a permanent sculpture for John Meade Park. Commissioner Finger has been in contact with the PTRC Chair and CHLP Director about this issue. Budget At the February 24, 2020 meeting the Commission agreed the piece should not cost more than $30,000 and estimated the Commission would be able to contribute $10,000, including a plaque and lighting. Artists The Commission asked Kendall Peterson to present options for realistic, natural artwork in the $30,000 price range. See Exhibit A for a list of potential artists from Ms. Peterson as well as questions for the Commission to answer to inform the selection process. NEXT STEPS Would the Commission like to present three options to PTRC? ATTACHMENTS Exhibit A: Artist Options EXHIBIT A Hi Everyone, Here is a list of potential sculptors who do wildlife artwork and I ordered them in order of my own preferences. However, you know that this is not my forte, so I am sure there are a lot of sculptors out there that I am missing. I think the first thing to do is discuss with the Parks folks what type of sculpture they are looking for. Something life size? Something more family friendly that people can admire like in a sculpture garden. Realism versus abstracted artwork. I would encourage looking at this as an investment, something that becomes an asset of the City. The following list is just to spark discussion and interest and we can go from there. I have not put any human figural work in there, thinking that we were heading toward nature. Not sure if I got that right. I also want folks to think if they want to commission something rather than buy off the shelf? Regional artist versus a wider net? Tim Cherry, Branson, MO I like the stylized quality of his work. Pricing could work. Studied with Dan Ostermiller. https://timcherry.com/portfolio/ Dan Ostermiller, Loveland, CO Might be able to afford a smaller piece. Definitely collection-worthy. http://www.danostermiller.com/portfolio_category/large-works/ Daniel Glanz, Loveland, CO Wolves, birds, horses. Beautiful bronzes, reasonable pricing. Full scale wolf is $32,000. https://glanzsculptures.com/ TD Kelsey, Guthrie, TX Very nice work, not sure on pricing. Will inquire if there is interest. https://www.tdkelsey.com/monuments Sandy Scott, Lander, WY (and Ontario) Some beautiful birds of prey and horses and pigs. There might be something in our price range, we would have to inquire. http://www.sandyscott.com/sandyscottbronzg.html Sherry Sander, MT Terrific sculptor, might be able to afford her, need to inquire. Definitely collection-worthy. https://wildlifemonuments.com/monuments/wood-ducks-on-still-water/ Mary Zimmerman, Paonia, CO She and her husband own a foundry and she could maybe be commissioned to do something fun. I like this bunny. On the cuter side, so very family friendly. I like the idea of supporting local artists. https://www.meijergardens.org/explore/bunny-and-cabbage/ Bart Walter, Westminster, MD Love his style, not sure on pricing. https://bartwalter.com/portfolio/ Walter Matia, Dickerson, MD Birds and other animals. Not sure about pricing. https://matia.com/birds/ https://matia.com/art-and-architecture/ Darrell Davis, ??? Nice deer, contextual animals in nature. http://davisbronze.com/intheirelement/ Leo Osborne, Ellensberg, WA Some owls? https://www.leoosborne.com/bronze-sculptures/ Steve Kestrel, Loveland, CO Gorgeous work, but not sure if we can afford something large enough for outdoors. But maybe a smaller piece. Not sure about how his work will work outside. http://www.stevekestrel.com/stevekestrel-poa.html# Steve Worthington, Santa Fe, NM Frogs? Mice? Reasonable pricing. https://www.steveworthingtonart.com/page11/page11.html Pat Kennedy, Loveland, CO Not my favorite, but more affordable? http://www.patkennedysculpture.com/index.htm John Parsons, Derby, KS Sculpts nature, deer, turkey, etc. Commissioned by Cabela’s to make tabletop sculptures so probably too expensive. Very “hunter” oriented. https://www.parsonssculpture.com/about Lisa Gordon, NM All horses. Interesting presentations. Maybe a commission if you wanted another horse? http://www.lisagordonsculptures.com/gallery_three.html -- Kendall Peterson ThereSquared LLC Creative Project Management ThereSquaredDenver.com kendall.peterson@theresquareddenver.com 303.902.1600 CITY OF CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE COLORADO 2450 E.

DISCUSSION Removal of resident artist Susan Cooper’s art show has been postponed while City Hall has been closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Now that City Hall is open staff will work with Commissioner Lynch to schedule removal of Ms. Cooper’s show. At the February 24, 2020 meeting the Commission agreed to solicit amateur and professional photographers for a multi-artist show to be hung in the fall prior to the John Meade Park grand opening event. The Crier article is included as Exhibit A. Commissioner Finger offered to contact an acquaintance about being a curator for the show.

Quincy Avenue City Hall Cherry Hills Village, CO 80113 Telephone 303-789-2541 www.cherryhillsvillage.com FAX 303-761-9386 ITEM: 6d MEMORANDUM TO: THE CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE ART COMMISSION FROM: LAURA GILLESPIE, CITY CLERK SUBJECT: SUSAN COOPER POSSIBLE DONATION DATE: JUNE 1, 2020 ISSUE Possible donation by Susan Cooper. DISCUSSION Resident artist Susan Cooper has indicated she would like to donate a piece from her art show currently on display at City Hall to the City. The piece is the neon green map of the City overlaid with City buildings. Ms. Cooper has expressed concern that her piece be visible to the public. The Commission originally considered the location of the west wall by the Community Development desk but because of the garage doors and bathroom entrance staff believes that may not be the best location. Commissioner Lynch has been working with Ms. Cooper and they suggest the piece be located in the bailiff’s desk area by the front door. Staff agrees this is a good location because it can be clearly seen by the public, it is not currently a space used for art shows, and it is somewhat protected by the bailiff’s desk. Staff continues to emphasize that while the Commission makes every effort to work with artists on the location of their art, ultimately the art is owned by the City and the City makes the final decision on location. NEXT STEPS Once the Commission agrees on a location acceptable to Ms. Cooper, she will submit the donation application form for formal approval at the next Commission meeting. After the donation is approved by the Commission, staff will work with Ms. Cooper on the Art Donation Agreement which will go to City Council for final approval. No motion is needed at this time as a formal application has not been submitted. 1 CITY OF CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE COLORADO 2450 E.

DISCUSSION The Charter states that boards and commissions select their own chair and vice chair. Staff is proposing that the Art Commission take this opportunity to appoint a new chair and vice chair. In addition to who to appoint, the Commission should decide the length of term and term limit, if any. Other City boards and commissions have established one-year terms for chairs and vice chairs, limited to two terms. Staff recommends that terms end on the second Tuesday in May in any given year to coincide with the end of commissioner terms. New appointments would occur at the following meeting. RECOMMENDED MOTION “I move to appoint _________ to the position of Art Commission Chair and ________ to the position of Art Commission Vice Chair for a __ year term beginning June 2, 2020 and ending on the second Tuesday in May 20__.” 1 CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE COLORADO 2450 E.

At the October 3, 2019 meeting, the Commission passed a motion to pay the additional $15,000 for the permanent sculpture in front of City Hall, beyond the $45,000 budgeted by City Council. This amount has been incorporated into the 2020 CHVAC budget and will be deducted from the Art Commission Donation Account. Based on feedback provided by the Commission at the January and February 2020 meetings and other information staff has received since then, staff has made the following changes to the 2020 budget: • Removed the sculpture on loan project for 2020 and moved the funds that had been budgeted for a sculpture on loan piece to help fund a permanent piece at John Meade Park. • Changed the Annual Event to a Dedication Event for the City Hall permanent sculpture, to be hosted by the Diecidues and therefore parking can be at City Hall so the valet expense has been removed. • Removed the $1,500 budgeted for Community Events since the Commission has decided to postpone any Author Events until 2021 and any future Art Show receptions will be at the artists’ expense. • Gilberto Romero has stated delivery and installation of Gusto will cost $500. • Staff received a quote of $500 for the annual sculpture maintenance. 2019 2019 2020 Budget Actual Budget Maintenance for City owned art: Charlo $300.00 $300.00 $300.00 Chainsaw $125.00 $125.00 $125.00 Rubric $75.00 $75.00 $75.00 Quincy Farm Mangold $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 Dedication Event Commissioner Invitations $905.00 $1,000.00 donation Stamps/Envelopes/Name Tags $0.00 $337.97 $100.00 CHLP Speaker gift $50.00 $50.00 donation Art Donation Host gift $115.00 $115.00 Account Commissioner Food & drink $0.00 $3,000.00 donation City Hall Valet $0.00 N/A parking lot Sculpture-on-loan Program Surls Loan - paid to artist $7,000.00 $7,000.00 N/A Installation of Really (plaque, $180.00 $1,146.96 N/A platform & engineer expenses) Really Sculpture-on-loan $4,000.00 $10,000.00 N/A 2020 Sculpture-on-loan N/A N/A N/A paid to artist 2020 Sculpture-on-loan N/A N/A N/A installation 2020 Sculpture-on-loan N/A N/A N/A plaque 2020 Sculpture-on-loan N/A N/A N/A video Art for John Meade Park: Permanent Sculpture paid to $10,000.00 artist Permanent Sculpture installation $1,800.00 Permanent Sculpture plaque $180.00 Other CHLP Trail Walk kid art $70.00 $0.00 $70.00 supplies New Commissioner name plate N/A $14.67 N/A ThereSquared, LLC $8,000.00 $3,570.00 $8,000.00 Community Events N/A N/A N/A Total Budget: $21,000.00 $20,000.00 $21,000.00 Less Total Expenses: $21,000.00 $22,569.60 $24,815.00 Remaining Budget Funds: $0.00 ($1,569.60) ($3,815.00) 2020 Expenses Art Commission Donation Account $42,966.00 Permanent Art for City Hall: Gusto fee – to be paid to Gilberto Romero $15,000.00 Installation costs for Gusto $500.00 Engineering costs for Gusto $500.00 Plaque for Gusto $180.00 2020 Budget $21,000.00 Expenses: ThereSquared (January 2020) $170.00 ThereSquared (February 2020) $63.75 ThereSquared (March 2020) $42.50 ThereSquared (April 2020) $42.50 Pending Expenses: Anticipated Expenses: Maintenance for City owned art $500.00 Dedication Event $4,265.00 John Meade Park Permanent Sculpture $11,980.00 ThereSquared LLC ($8,000 total for 2020) $7,681.25 Other $70.00 Total expenses: $24,815.00 Ending funds available: ($3,815.00) Remaining Art Commission donation account funds: $22,971.00
