2. Review and Approval of Previous Meeting Minutes
The meeting minutes from May 19, 2020 were approved with the correct spelling of the
name "Paul Druecke". There was no objection.
3. New Work Fund
- Downtown BID Request
Members discussed that the Downtown BID's request did not respond to the RFP
process, that the project seems reactive and not collaborative, that the project is not
really an art project but a marketing project, that the request is to compensate artists,
and that members wanted to support the project despite having concerns.
Ms. Witte said that the project probably came after the RFP deadline and that $2,400
in New Work Fund was still available.
Member Layden moved to recommend approval of $2,400 in New Work Funds to the
Downtown BID project for its artists directly. Member Murphy seconded. There was no
objection.

projects have not started.

- Updates on Projects
Chair Morris said that there were no applications received for the Conservation Fund.
5. New Business
Ms. Witte said that the Downtown BID is planning a new project to repurpose the police
call boxes with schools involved, that artists instead of students should be considered,
and that the Milwaukee Arts Board can be a part of the project review committee.
Members said they were looking forward to this new project idea.
