Subject: Information for MAC meeting on THURSDAY

Rench. pdf
Hi, again. As you know, the Selection Panel met on July 8 to review the proposals for the Meridian Split Corridor Public
Art Project and the public comment collected over the past few weeks. This message provides a summary of the Panel's
recommendation so you can give it some thought prior to your deliberations at Thursday's Arts Commission meeting -
but to avoid any violation of the Idaho Open Meetings Law, please do not discuss this information with each other,
except on the record. (This includes any a-mail discussion.)
The Selection Panel recommendation has two parts: First, the Panel recommends that the large piece submitted by Delia
DeLapp be installed at the south parcel, but that the smaller component of her proposal (the hands) not be installed at
the north parcel. Second, though understanding that this is outside the scope of its charge, the Selection Panel also
recommends that the City explore commissioning the "complementary" piece suggested by C.1. Rench ("The Star of the
West")for the north parcel instead.
I am attaching information submitted by the three finalists with their proposals and information regarding the public
comments on the proposals. I am also sending an email exchange with Mr. Rench that resulted after I updated him (and
the other finalists) on the Selection Panel's decision.
Thank you and see you on Thursday.
Emily
