subcommittee members with questions regarding the identity of
the community, locations and functions for public art. The
subcommittee members discussed her questions with their
individual insights. A. Belnap and Meridith McKinley briefly
discussed the next steps: figuring out if Meridith can fly out to
Meridian in June/July and arranging interviews with key members
of City Hall and the community for Meridith.

Meridith stated that first she would like to hold the one-on-one or
small group interviews.
3. Review Public Art Projects Budget FY20
A. Belnap reviewed the state of the Arts Commission budget. She pointed
out that the Commission may combine the Public/Private Mural fund with
the State of the City fund to do 2-3 murals and not rely on local businesses
to contribute to the project financially. The Subcommittee agreed with this
plan of action.
To develop, advance and nurture all facets of the arts
to enhance the quality of life for Meridian residents and its visitors
4. Public/Private Mural Next Steps
The Subcommittee discussed the RFQ for businesses to apply to be
involved with the Mural Project. The members agreed that the business
may suggest a desired subject or theme for their mural. L. Taylor

finalize it with legal input. The goal is to approve the RFQ in the Arts
Commission Regular Meeting on June 14.
