The motion passed unanimously.
ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA
None
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Item 5a Art Consultant Chris Stevens
Manager Black noted that the City now had a contract with Art Consultant Chris Stevens.
Mr. Stevens introduced himself and expressed his excitement to work with the Commission to
achieve their goals.
Manager Black explained that the contract was scheduled using Project Briefs, which has
worked well for the Commission in the past. She suggested a few projects that she believed
would be helpful for Mr. Stevens to work on (the Resilience series plaque, the sculpture on
loan project, and a future fundraiser) and asked the Commission to select projects so that Mr.
Stevens can present the appropriate Project Briefs for approval at the next meeting.
Cochair Patteson agreed with these three projects, particularly the plaque and the fundraising
event.
Item 5b ‘Resilience’ Series Recognition Plague and Fundraiser
There was discussion about the plaque price; Mr. Stevens noted it would depend on the size,
material, and contents of the plaque. Cochair Patteson asked Commissioner Iverson to
update the Commission on the progress with the foundry. Commissioner Iverson replied that
she would like to turn that over to the art consultant Chris Stevens. Cochair Fedorowicz
informed Mr. Stevens that the Commission wanted something made from the same material
Cherry Hills Village Art Commission
September 30, 2024 - I -
as the sculptures and did not want a commercial look but something more artistic.
Commissioner Fedorowicz noted there was a mock-up of the plaque contents. The
Commission discussed their ideas for the plaque.
• Manager Black will send the donor plaque mockup to Mr. Stevens along with Artist Joe
Norman’s contact information.
• Commissioner Iverson will provide her contact information for the foundry to Chris
Stevens.
Cochair Fedorowicz mentioned that getting a plan in place for the 2025 fundraising event
should be a priority as well. The Commission discussed past events, ideas for new events
and a timeline.
Manager Black mentioned to the Commission that future art on loan pieces do not have to be
placed where the current piece is and gave them some options.
Cochair Patteson mentioned the possibility of having some artist talks in the city as an event
and added that she loved Chris Stevens’ idea of a symphony in the park.
Cochair Fedorowicz asked the Commission if they wanted to try to host an event before the
end of the year and Manager Black replied that it would be challenging to try to plan and
execute something as we are going into the holidays. The Commission discussed artists that
could be scheduled for an art talk.
Commissioner Ortiz-Hill asked if the artists could also bring work for sale at this event where
the Commission could earn a percentage of sales. Manager Black replied that yes, it is
allowed.
Advanced purchase of event supplies and alcohol was discussed by the Commission, and
Manager Black explained that alcohol cannot be purchased ahead or stored for special
events. The Commission discussed marketing items that could be purchased as well.
• Manager Black will add the 2025 fundraiser planning to the next meeting agenda.
• Manager Black will provide the map with potential locations to Chris Stevens.
• Manager Black will bring calendars with City events to the next meeting.
Cochair Fedorowicz asked how much the Bamboo Girl plaque was going to cost and
manager Black replied that it should cost $300 to $400.
Cochair Patteson brought up the logo redesign and Commissioner Ortiz-Hill said he would
begin working on the logo design.
Manager Black asked Chris Stevens to bring Project Briefs for the Donor plaque and
sculpture on loan projects to the October meeting so the Commission can then discuss ideas
for the next sculpture on loan piece. She asked Chris to provide artist suggestions to the
November meeting, mentioning that the December meeting is usually canceled due to the
holidays.
Commissioner Iverson asked about the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District grant that
Chris Stevens had mentioned at his interview and Manager Black replied that the
Commission did not qualify as it is not a separate agency for the City. Chris Stevens offered
to do more research, and the Commission agreed. Commissioner Ortiz-Hill mentioned that a
501c3 organization would need a separate tax id number, separate accounting, etc.
• Manager Black will send Chris Stevens the research that the City Clerk performed.
Cochair Fedorowicz suggested using some of the remaining budget to purchase and send out
mailers to prior donors and others suggested by the Commission to solicit more donations.
The Commission agreed and Cochair Fedorowicz suggested discussing the mailers at the
next meeting and mailing them out in November listing the next Art Commission event.
Commissioner Ortiz-Hill confirmed that the Commission could do end-of-year mailings;
Manager Black confirmed. She asked if it would be a letter in an envelope (rather than a
postcard); the Commission confirmed that printed letters were fine.
• Manager Black will add Donation Mailers to the next agenda.

September 30, 2024 - 2 -
Commissioner Mirr asked if a resident survey had ever been done. Cochair Patteson replied
that a survey had been done about a year ago. Manager Black confirmed that it was sent out
closer to 2021. Cochair Fedorowicz suggested having a feedback box at the next event.
Cochair Fedorowicz asked if there was a way to donate online; Manager Black stated that
Clerk Joseph had set up that capability on the website.
Commissioner Patteson asked if there could be a QR code on the letter. Manager Black
explained some of the security concerns but agreed to look into the possibility. Cochair
Fedorowicz requested discussion of paying for a more secure QR code service at the next
meeting.
Manager Black will include information about QR Codes in the packet for the next
meeting
Item 5c Artist Directory Update
Commissioner Mirr asked if it could be a living document that could be continually updated
once it’s posted. Manager Black agreed; she explained that it would be published in the
Village Crier and also published on the website; the website can be updated as needed if
artists contact staff and request changes.
Commissioner Fedorowicz asked if the directory was published in the Village Crier once a
year. Manager Black explained that was the goal; the current version was very out of date
since it stopped being published during/after the pandemic. She asked the Commission to let
staff know about any further changes before staff sends the information to the graphic
designer.
The Commission discussed whether the directory should be a list of artists the Commission
wants to highlight or strictly artists who are residents of Cherry Hills Village; the Commission
decided to include artists outside the Village as well without doing anything in particular to
distinguish residents from those living outside the Village.
Commissioner Iverson asked if a call for artists had been published in the Village Crier and
asked what the result had been; Manager Black confirmed that it had been published but no
additional artists had reached out.
Manager Black stated to publish in the November Village Crier issue, staff needed
confirmation about the highlighted artists by October lOt.
• The Commission should provide any additional edits or comments on the Artist
Directory to staff by October 1 0th
• Staff will reach out to Martin Greer to see if he would still like to be included in the
directory.
The Commission agreed to add Yi S. Ellis to the Artist Directory.
Item 5d Possible Hampden Underpass Mural
Cochair Patteson suggested that Mr. Stevens work on this project as well; Manager Black
cautioned the Commission about their budget.
Commissioner Ortiz-Hill suggested incorporating functionality and art and possibly doing a
light installation. Commissioner Mirr agreed.
Cochair Patteson stated the underpass is dark and scary so the Commission’s idea was to
lighten and brighten it; they would have to work with the City of Denver because the City has
partial ownership.
Manager Black clarified the City does not own the underpass; City of Denver owns the
underpass; the City has an agreement with City of Denver to perform basic maintenance
such as snow plowing, painting over graffiti, and replacing lights.
Cochair Fedorowicz noted there was only electricity on one side of the underpass.

September 30, 2024 - 3 -
Mr. Stevens asked if this has been discussed with the City of Denver yet. Manager Black
explained she had reached out to DOTI, who connected her with the Art Program Manager,
who was currently in conversation with the Trails Planner about beautification across the trail
system; they would reach out once those conversations were further along. She noted that
there was not a budget line for this item so the Commission would need to review their
budget to reallocate funds in 2025 to complete the project.
Cochair Patteson stated she thought Denver should contribute; Manager Black stated the
Commission could suggest it, but she was not sure how open Denver would be to the idea.
Commissioner Ortiz-Hill stated he thought the Commission should cover the cost; Cochair
Patteson disagreed but acknowledged the Commission could also fundraise for the project.
Commissioner Mirr asked if a private company could donate towards it and the Commission
discussed that option.
Cochair Patteson asked that Mr. Stevens start working on the project; Cochair Fedorowicz
noted the Commission had assigned Mr. Stevens three projects already so she was hesitant
to do that until the Commission knew how it would be paid for.
Commissioner Ortiz-Hill asked if he could spearhead the project and propose some ideas
that are cost-effective, such as projecting on the ceiling.
Cochair Patteson stated this was an important opportunity to have a different type of art and
it’s a safety measure.
Manager Black noted the existing lighting meets safety requirements.
The Commission agreed that they should all visit the tunnel before the next meeting.
Manager Black noted she may have additional information from City of Denver by the next
meeting.
Commissioner Ortiz-Hill asked if there could be a special meeting in two weeks to discuss
this and event-planning since sometimes the banter at regular meetings takes quite a while;
Commissioner Mirr asked if it could be held over Zoom; Commissioner Patteson asked if time
could be added on to the end of regular meeting. Manager Black explained any meeting of
three or more Commissioners to discuss business items needs to be an official noticed
meeting with minutes taken, so that it is open to the public. Commissioner Ortiz-Hill stated he
understood but could the Commission set another meeting since they need additional time.
Manager Black encouraged the Commission to prepare ahead for the regularly scheduled
meetings, particularly reviewing packets ahead of time, so that meetings can be as
constructive as possible. Cochair Fedorowicz suggested the Commission come prepared to
the next meeting with their ideas.
• Commissioner Ortiz-Hill will consider options for the underpass
• The Commission will each visit the underpass ahead of the next meeting

images and mentioned that the foundry wanted to come down to see the area; she suggested
waiting to check with the new art consultant also.

match and the Commission discussed design ideas for the plaque.

The Commission discussed the other two consultants that expressed interest in the Art
Consultant position and next steps for after the interview with Chris Stevens.
Chris Stevens arrived and gave the Commission a presentation outlining his experience and

that the Commission gave their former art consultant, Kendall Peterson, some direction and
she would present suggestions; Joe Norman, the Resilience Series artist, was introduced to
the Commission by Cochair Patteson.
Commissioner Ortiz-Hill asked about his experience with art on loan and Mr. Stevens replied
that he had a great deal of experience while employed at the Curtis Center and Denver
International Airport; he asked the Commission what they were looking for in an art
consultant. The commission responded that the art on loan project was a large component;
adding that they are also interested in help with and expansion and enrichment of the annual
art show. Chris Stevens added that, if hired, he would investigate possible funding options for
events. The Commission thanked Mr. Stevens, and he left the meeting.
After Chris Stevens’ presentation, the Commission discussed their impressions, reviewed the
information provided on the other two consultants that had expressed interest, and decided to
offer Chris Stevens the position of Art Consultant to the Cherry Hills Village Art Commission;
they discussed contract length and decided on a one-year contract.

MEMORANDUM
TO: THE CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE ART COMMISSION
FROM: EMILY BLACK, PARKS PROJECT AND OPERATIONS MANAGER
SUBJECT: ART CONSULTANT CHRIS STEVENS
DATE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
ISSUE
Discussing projects for Consultant Chris Stevens.
DISCUSSION
Per the Commission’s direction at the August meeting, staff has awarded a contract to Chris
Stevens (P&S Consulting) in the amount of $10,000.00 for one year, at a rate of $125 per hour.
The contract is structured similarly to the previous contract with Consultant Kendall Peterson.
When the Commission determines a project that they would like the consultant to work on, the
consultant will prepare a Project Brief for the Commission’s approval (Exhibit A). The brief
provides an estimate of the cost of the work and a description of the scope of the project. This
has served the Commission well in the past, and it ensures that the Commission and the
consultant have a shared understanding of the work to be undertaken. Each project requires its
own Project Brief, to be approved by the Commission. Commissioners should not independently
contact Mr. Stevens with additional requests; additional requests for work must be raised with
the rest of the Commission first.
Staff has identified the following projects that Mr. Stevens could work on for the Commission:
• Creating a plaque recognizing the Resilience series donors
• Identifying a new sculpture-on-loan piece for 2025-2026
• Event planning
The Commission should discuss with Mr. Stevens and determine which projects they would like
to request Project Briefs for, to be considered for approval at the next meeting.

MEMORANDUM
TO: THE CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE ART COMMISSION
FROM: EMILY BLACK, PARKS PROJECT AND OPERATIONS MANAGER
SUBJECT: ‘RESILIENCE’ SERIES RECOGNITION PLAQUE
DATE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
ISSUE
The ‘Resilience’ sculpture series – planning for the recognition plaque and silent auction.
DISCUSSION
Donor Plaque
The cutoff date for fundraising contributions that will
appear on the donor plaque was May 1, 2024. Now
that the deadline has passed, there are approximately
50 donors who will receive recognition on the plaque.
At the April meeting, the Commission expressed
interest in a plaque that would be located outdoors at
the John Meade Park shelter, possibly made of the
same material as the sculptures (stainless steel), or
using the same company and design as the donor
plaque for Charlo. Staff learned that the company that
manufactured the Charlo plaque is no longer in
business. At the May meeting, the Commission
discussed plaques from Recognition Art, Artistic
Bronze, and RCB Donor Recognition, but did not like
any of the options. The Commission expressed a
preference for a stainless steel plaque above all other
materials. At the June meeting, the Commission chose
a location for the plaque at the corner entrance to the
park and narrowed down options for a fabricator. The
plaque will be 24”x24” and placed on a wooden post
to be consistent with the style of other signs in the
park. (Example photos from a different location are provided above and on the following page.)
Commissioner Fedorowicz sent the following sites to
consider: Dandelion Metalworks, Splano Design, and Plaque
Direct. Staff contacted the suggested sites and Dandelion
Metalworks and Splano replied that they could not do our
project. Staff checked several more Etsy sites, but they did
not offer 24”x24” signs. Plaque Direct prices start at $884.00
for 24”x24” for a plain flat aluminum sign with black etched
lettering. Staff also contacted Artcraft Sign Company,
International Bronze Plaque Company and Gemini Letters
Direct.
At the July meeting, Clerk Joseph informed the Commission
that the two suggested Etsy sellers declined and other Etsy
sellers that she checked could not provide a quality plaque as
large as 24 inches by 24 inches. The best solution found was
a simple, cast aluminum sign with a price starting at
$1,400.00. The Commission decided against the cast
aluminum sign, expressing their desire for a more artistic
design. Commissioner Iverson offered to contact the foundry in Loveland.
At the August meeting, the Commission discussed additional design ideas and the possibility of
working with a foundry. Clerk Joseph contacted numerous foundries; most worked primarily in
bronze. The only location that provides what the Commission is looking for is here in Denver (JW
Reffel Metals). Clerk Joseph had an initial conversation with the shop, but they have stopped
responding to calls and emails. The Commission should discuss and decide next steps, which can
include working with Consultant Chris Stevens on this project.

TO: THE CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE ART COMMISSION

SUBJECT: ARTIST DIRECTORY
DATE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
ISSUE
Discussing an update to the Artist Directory.
DISCUSSION
Starting in 2019, the Commission periodically published a directory of CHV artists in the Village
Crier. The list has not been updated since 2022. At the May meeting, Commissioners Mirr and
Fedorowicz volunteered to update the Artist’s Directory by contacting each of the artists. A Call
For Artists was planned to be published in the July Village Crier issue, so that artists who have
recently moved into the City can be added to the list. However, that issue was cancelled and the
call could not fit in the abbreviated August issue. Staff published it in the September issue. Based
on when those responses will be received (throughout the month of September/early October),
staff suggests including the Artist Directory in the November issue of the Crier so that the new
additions can be included.
Budget
There is no cost associated with this item.
NEXT STEPS
The Commission should weigh in on the attached annotated Directory (Exhibit A).

MEMORANDUM
TO: THE CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE ART COMMISSION

SUBJECT: POSSIBLE HAMPDEN UNDERPASS MURAL
DATE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
ISSUE
Discussing the idea of creating a mural in the Hampden Underpass for the High Line Canal.
DISCUSSION
Earlier this year, the Commission discussed the idea of creating a mural in the underpass for the
High Line Canal trail below Hampden Ave. Cherry Hills Village staff performs basic
maintenance in the underpass (snow plowing, graffiti removal, changing lightbulbs) per an
agreement with the City of Denver, which owns the underpass itself. Staff reached out to
Denver’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) to find out if they would be
open to the possibility of a mural. DOTI staff were supportive of the idea and connected us with
the Denver Public Art program manager, who will follow up with us following some
conversations with DOTI and the Parks Department trail planner. Staff will continue to relay any
updates to the Commission and will also connect with the High Line Canal Conservancy if the
project progresses.
Budget & Next Steps
If this project is something the Commission is interested in pursuing, CHVAC will need to
review the 2025 budget to reallocate funds. Estimates will need to be obtained to find out what
the possible cost would be. The CHVAC should also determine the process they would like to
follow to select an artist and commission a piece. Consideration should also be given to the
possibility that a mural could become an ongoing expense to the Commission if it needs to be
touched up or fixed following vandalism.
