Ehrlich, Public Arts Advisory Board Coordinator) Board Discussion PAC Ehrlich reported that she had been in contact with Artist Terrance Martin and he had determined that at the present time, due to transportation and shipping, aluminum was in short supply. He has suggested in lieu of using aluminum, he would purchase stainless steel for the towers. She explained that would be a difference in weight which the design will have to take into account however the material was very sturdy and the appearance would be very similar to the aluminum. She asked the board to consider the change. Board members were in agreement with the change stating that the cost for stainless steel was generally more expensive than the aluminum and it would withstand the elements. Board member Null asked that the difference in weight be addressed by the artist to the engineer preparing the design drawings.
