Commissioner Kira MacPherson motioned to approve the minutes of the February 24, 2026 Regular Meeting. Commissioner Mark Anderson seconded the motion. Members voted and the minutes were approved as submitted. 3. Regular Business A. City Art Inventory/Site Plan i. Commissioner Dave Schneider is now able to get into the GIS app, and asked if it would be possible to give non-commission members access to the app to take photos. As this is a City application that would not be possible. ii. We will ask if non-commission members could take photos and a description of the artwork, and send them to commissioners who could upload the information into the GIS app. Lori will check with Sam Jenkins if this is possible. B. City Comprehensive Plan i. Ariel Medeiros reported to the Commission that she had read through their ideas and was very pleased with the thought and detail that they had put into the work. ii. Ariel believes that they can pull Public Art from the section with Signage & Wayfinding, and create a section specifically for Public Art. Then take an existing goal/policy CD 2.1 under the Community Design section of the plan and reword it into a new policy that incorporates the information provided, and allows them to set additional goals/policies surrounding the content of the work that they have completed. Other things to be considered are the opportunities and constraints surrounding these goals/policies, as well as the conditions and trends. Page 3 of 5  iii. Ariel asked if anyone would like to work with her on the rewording, and Commissioner Kira MacPherson will meet with Ariel in April, and then return to the May meeting for a review of the work that they do. C. Rotating Art Exhibit at City Hall i. As a result of a meeting with City Administrator Sean Wells, Commissioner Kira MacPherson wrote a draft proposal for the City Hall Rotating Art Exhibit which was presented to the Commission and Sean Wells. Discussion followed. ii. Sean indicated that he would like to see the following included in the proposal. a. A statement that all art would be determined by the Pullman Arts Commission. b. What the process for submission of art would be (application process), as well as the criteria for grading the art to determine which pieces are selected. c. A statement that mentions that the art will be available for viewing, when City Hall is open to the public. Monday – Friday 8am to 5pm, except holidays, and occasional evenings when the building is open for public meetings. d. A statement about hosting an artist meet & greet event and the possibility of wine & cheese being served, so that we can explore what would be required. e. There should also be something in there regarding the sale of the art, and that a business license is required (and how to obtain one), or through a broker, which Commissioner Greystone offered, through her gallery. iii. Once the proposal is complete, Sean Wells will present it to the City Council for approval, and request the funds to purchase the wall hanging system. a. Commissioner MacPherson will work to revise the proposal document. b. Commissioner Schneider will work on the application form. c. Commissioner Greystone will work on the criteria for grading and accepting submitted artwork, as well as measure the walls at City Hall to look for a smaller hanging system in addition to the one that they have found which covers 9.8 linear ft of wall space, and costs $125 per unit. 4.
