We're gonna begin our meeting at uh 528 Monday the 21st.

Um in the room there's myself, Commissioner uh Green and McKay.

Going to do approval of minutes from July 20th.

There are any corrections or additions to the minutes?

No.

By consent.

They have been approved.

Um public business from the floor.

Nope, there's none.

All right, moving on to new business.

Uh we have the celebration or celebrating the passion and contributions of Commissioner Meg Weaver.

Yeah, I just um wanted to have a little time for everybody to reflect on all of the work Meg did for this commission, um both when it was a commission and back when it was a task force, and just a minute.

So okay, so um I didn't serve a lot of time with Meg, but the time that I did serve with her, I really enjoyed.

I mean, she's a class act, very kind caring person.

I mean, she cared about her community and this commission, and she's just um an all-around good person I've known her for many years and very happy.

Just the about the year that I could spend um we will move on to the review of uh adopted public art policy and next steps.

Yeah, so um this was uh postponed from the July meeting.

Uh the goal of this discussion was to just kind of go back over the policy that you all had put together with the working group um that had been approved, and then to brainstorm on where it goes from here.

So how that gets implemented if there's things that are missing, how that works with parks and rec's uh different separate policy.

So I know that I didn't really have anything to add.

Um was there any comments or notes?

I didn't have any notes.

I I can't remember what Kathy um said last meeting.

There was something but I don't know um how far that got.

I know when we as a collective group when it was put together and in the end, I mean I was happy with the end result myself, so I don't have anything back.

I was happy with it too, but you're right, there was something that Kathy had brought up, but I cannot remember.

Did she did she have a note?

Do you have a note of anything what that was?

Not specifically, I think it was to loop uh Meg and Magdalena in because they weren't as involved in the process.

Um, and then also I think the other thing to look at is that the um that uh parks and recument naming policy that is included in your packet too was adopted a a few years ago, and there's some parts of that that don't necessarily jive super well with the public art policy, and it touches on public art, but not really.

So, how do you make those two policies work together?

Um, and then also um you know, where does it go from here?

Because the policy high level outlines who is responsible for kind of which part of um of any potential public art project, but how do you how do you get to that next step of whether it's a mural program or uh you know um adjusting a public art project?

So, how do you implement that I guess was kind of the should we try to bring in back meeting when happy just to check out it's right when everyone's present, and then we'll have Cassandra on board too by then.

So I know that I read through it.

I know I read through it, but I can't remember um so then we have reports that's gonna be fairly casual.

I just wanted to give everyone um a quick update on the city has finally started the implementation of the clear government that they've been talking about implementing for the last couple years.

So I just wanted to pull this up for you all and show you kind of what it looks like on the inside, and then um so the software they're using is called ClearGov.

Um and so basically it has an internal facing part where um you guys are familiar with like Nate's giant spreadsheet of capital improvement projects that he had when he was capital facilities director, and their goal is to basically that spreadsheet becomes integrated into the software, every project ends up in the software.

Um so I've put four in here that have been or three in here that have been mentioned by this group before.

Um and they're all fairly high level.

Um so uh snow pole was one of the projects I put in here, uh Doug Flat's boardwalk.

Um and these are of course really preliminary and then Egan Street decorative lighting, you need to work with building maintenance to make sure this is a little bit more fleshed out.

Um but basically the thought is that all of the projects start living in this software, and as more information gets gathered about projects, if we know what funding sources are, or um we get other items about design, it gets put into here, and the status gets updated in this software, and there's a public facing um trying to see here, but yeah, so they have public facing project pages.

So this isn't the best example.

Um but yeah, but basically, there's the it would can show so like um it basically there's a there's a public facing side where the public can go to it, click on the project, and it can say, you know, this project is this percent done.

Here's some of the concepts of it, here's where we're at in the budget for it.

Um, so it's pretty cool.

Um, I'm not that familiar with it yet, but um, everyone's learning it now, and all projects are going in through this now.

Um, and they've been talking about it for I think it's been about two years that it's taken to get to this point.

So I think we're finally at the point for the 2027 capital budget that everything is getting put in there.

So if there's projects that you want in there, even if they're not ones that this group has fully decided on, it's better to have it in there than not in there, you know, it's better for it to exist on the list than not exist.

Um, so that was the big thing I had to share.

Um any questions about it.

Well, it would be kind of cool to um if it's connected to like is it part of Casel or that's different?

It is not part of Cassel, no, and I don't know how it integrates.

I have to ask Casey, our fiscal analyst um if it integrates with CACL.

Because you have expense tracking.

So if you don't want to put it by annual and if you want to I don't know if they have a um integration built out with Gasel or not, that's a good question.

Well, we'll see how it goes, but that's what it's gonna look like for projects moving forward.
