APPROVAL OF MINUTES [ACTION ITEM]
1. Minutes from February 15, 2022 Public Art Committee Meeting
Lizzie Taylor motioned to approve the minutes, Jessica Peters seconded the
motion, all ayes
DISCUSSION ITEMS [ACTION ITEMS]
2. Updates: Meridian Mural Series: Key Detail at unBound Library, Sector
Seventeen locations
Key Detail: Bobby and Cassandra met with Key Detail and Meridian Library District
representatives about the unBound library on 3/15/2022 – Key Detail will be
submitting three sketches for the next step (they can use the two sketches that
aren’t going to be used). This part of the process is primarily between the library
and Key Detail; City of Meridian doesn’t have a role at this point, aside from
facilitation.
Artists’ costs from NYC will be hefty, so we may see if a hotel will sponsor the
mural/their travel by providing a free room. (Note, we have no obligation to cover
their travel costs.)
Sector Seventeen: Garrett joined the meeting to share that there is strong WARD
(West Ada Recreation District) support for a mural on the east side of the pool
(facing the ballfields), preferably with a history/pool/water theme. We need to
review the square footage. Redesign fee is $500 with the bee design and $1,000 for
a complete redesign. Legal will need to draw up an MOU between the City and
3
Item 1.
WARD, and MAC will approve moving forward with the WARD and pool for the
location.
Jessica Peters motioned to recommend moving forward with the Meridian pool
and WARD for the Sector Seventeen mural location; Lizzie Taylor seconded the
motion; all ayes.
3. Review, Make Edits and Recommendations: Five Mile Creek Pathway
Trailhub RFQ + RFP: New working name for site, progress on RFQ + RFP, general
timeline and process overview
Committee members will review and send edits/comments to Jessica by Sunday
3/20, who will combine comments into one document, conduct a full edit, and
submit to Cassandra by 3/31. The call should be ready by the MAC meeting for
final approval.
4. Discuss and Make Recommendations for Public Art Plan: Review VIA
Partnership's sample scope of work for a full Public Art Plan, Discuss possible next
steps, Make recommendations
Cassandra presented a scope of work proposal from VIA Partnership for a full
Public Art Plan. We still need proposals from two other companies (Forecast? Get
input from City of McCall?). We can then propose a budget amendment to City
Council to contract someone to complete the public art plan. This is within city’s
strategic comprehensive plan to complete the public art plan soon.
Lizzie Taylor made a motion to recommend working with an outside professional
arts entity to complete the MAC Public Art Plan, and to conduct research for an
upcoming city budget amendment. Raeya Wardle seconded the motion, all ayes.
NEW BUSINESS [ACTION ITEM]
5. Discuss and Make Recommendations: Tully Skate Park Mural Project Proposal
Cassandra presented the history and condition of the current mural at Tully Skate
Park, which has been graffitied and cleaned by Parks, unfortunately much of the
mural is missing. Cassandra presented a proposal for a new mural project at Tully
Skate Park. The new mural proposal would be a partnership between a student
artist and a professional artist mentor. PAC discussed the project. Bobby raised the
need for regular upkeep/maintenance of the mural, which may deter
graffiti/tagging/defacement. Raya Wardle expressed positivity about the student
and youth involvement, which is one of Meridian and the Arts Commission’s
strengths. Note: we don’t need to use Bonfire for the selection process due to the
budget amount $1,500 for student artist (design and participation in installation)
and $2,000 for professional artist services, which includes $1,500 for mentorship
and installation, and $500 budget for materials, mentorship, and installation.
Bobby identified and recommended a local mural artist, Miguel Almeida. Almeida
is a professional level muralist, and has prior public art experience and credentials
including past experience with public art and murals. Almeida is also a person
4
Item 1.
involved with skater culture. Jessica and Cassandra both expressed having
considered the same artist, before Bobby before recommended him to the
subcommittee. Bobby will reach out to see if he is interested in participating, and if
so, the Arts and Culture Coordinator and legal will work with him to draft a
professional services agreement. We will draft a call to artists (RFP) to select the
student design. MAC will approve the call. Jessica Peters motioned to move
forward with the project with a $3,500 budget from MAPS, Lizzie Taylor seconded
the motion, all ayes.
NEXT MEETING - APRIL 19, 2022

PROJECT LOCATION:
The Five Mile Creek Pathway Trailhub is new trailhead facility located at 3430 N. Ten Mile Road
(north of Ustick Rd, across from the City wastewater treatment plant). The recently completed
Trailhub will serve as the first ever gateway to the Five Mile Pathway, one of the City’s priority
pedestrian routes. The 1.5-acre park/trailhead facility offers vehicle parking, drinking water,
seating and gathering space, and both traditional and low-water landscaping. A public restroom
and site furnishings, including bike parking and repair facilities, will be added in spring 2022.
Possibilities for art placement include the plaza/gathering space between the columnar basalt
benches, and in or around the planter area(s) north of the parking lot entry. The attached site plan
illustrates possible locations and dimensions. Alternate siting may be proposed as long as the art is
located within the Trailhub boundary, is highly visible, and remains clear of existing irrigation
easements (noted on the site plan).
The Five Mile Pathway is Meridian’s longest multi-use bike and pedestrian route, with almost 5
miles of connected pathway. The pathway provides connection, recreation, and transportation for
the City. Citizens walk, bike, run, and exercise on the path. For the most part, the pathway runs
near the Five Mile Creek.
Prior to the 1890s, Five Mile Creek was one of three waterways that fed into the Boise River from
the south. As settlers moved in and built irrigation canals to support farms and communities, the
Creek could no longer handle the increased surface water, and was engineered to function as a
39
Item 10.
Call for Artists – Meridian Five Mile Creek Pathway Trailhub Project Page 3 of 6
drain for the local irrigation district. Five Mile Creek currently returns water to the Boise River and
serves as habitat to birds (including ducks, redwing blackbirds, and others) and the occasional
small mammal (muskrats, for instance). Near the Trailhub is Reta Huskey Park, a City park in a
suburban neighborhood.
DESIRED OUTCOMES
The public art project should create and/or enhance the overall Five Mile Creek Pathway Trailhub
identity. The objective of the project is to create a theming element, or elements, that give the
Trailhub a true identity and sense of place and address the characteristics of the site as a Trailhub
and gateway to the Five Mile Pathway, running along Five Mile Creek. The desired public artwork
should function as a visible and memorable landmark for the site.
Key themes and visual elements for the artwork may include, but are not limited to:
• Waterway or creek imagery, especially historic, functional, and recreational uses
• Bike parts or trailhub parts such as cogs, wheels, or cycles
• Pedestrian movement themes that evoke momentum, motivation, and activation
• Gateway themes: passages, starting points, jumping-off place, beginnings, origins
• Other ideas relating to the history and context described in this RFP
Artists are encouraged to submit functional or interactive pieces. Artists are encouraged to submit
works that are highly visible to users, passersby, and motorists on the busy Ten Mile Road.
The artwork must be safe appropriate for the project site, and its design, regardless of material or
medium. The artwork must conform to all applicable City ordinances and policies, including
building and sign codes.
