Project Title: Split Corridor Art Project
Total MCRF Award: $20,000
Total MCRAF Dollars Spent: $ 0
The funding was awarded in the fall of FY12 with a deadline for completion by the end of FY13.
The MAC provided an update to the Solid Waste Advisory Commission on September 25, 2013
with a request to extend the funding due to delays in the RFP process and decision-making
process. After much discussion the SWAC unanimously approved a motion to grant the MAC`s
request to extend funding provided that:
"The Meridian Arts Commission (MAC) receives a final decision by City
Council regarding the selected artist/piece on October 1, 2013, or as soon
thereafter as possible, but no later than December 31, 2013. In the event
that MAC does not receive that approval within the time specified, Cit}~
Council will approve the refund of the $20,000 back to the Meridian
Community Recycling Facnd. "
