[0:07] Salute. Pledge. I pledge algiance to the

[0:11] flag of the United States of America and

[0:14] to the republic for which it stands, one

[0:17] nation under God, indivisible, with

[0:20] liberty and justice for all. Thank you.

[0:23] Thank you.

[0:25] » Uh, roll call.

[0:28] I guess I did that backwards.

[0:30] » Yeah, that's okay. Um, Commissioner

[0:33] Lackey

[0:34] » Here.

[0:35] » Commissioner CR

[0:36] » Here.

[0:36] » Commissioner Johnstone

[0:37] » Here.

[0:38] » Commissioner Ray

[0:39] » Here.

[0:39] » Chair Tamorei

[0:40] » Here.

[0:41] » Thank you.

[0:42] » So, there's nobody out there so I'm not

[0:44] going to read that. Uh, consent

[0:47] calendar. Nothing. So, we're here to uh

[0:50] revisit the communicate uh the NOA and

[0:54] uh select and make a re recommen

[0:57] recommendation to the city council and

[0:59] this had to do with um unusual

[1:01] circumstances which

[1:04] um had to do with funding and that sort

[1:07] of thing. the

[1:09] this if I do that

[1:11] » Um

[1:11] » Clarification.

[1:13] » Yeah, there there was not sufficient

[1:15] time given to the artists to come and

[1:18] make presentations

[1:20] and so uh we thought that it um only one

[1:24] artist had come but we thought it was

[1:26] fair if if the other artists have their

[1:28] opportunity to also show up if they

[1:30] wanted to. So, all of the artists were

[1:33] notified this time. They actually did

[1:36] all confirm that they would be here.

[1:39] » Well, oh, they were supposed to be here.

[1:42] » Uhhuh.

[1:42] » So, that artists are Laura Wilheim and

[1:45] Ted and Frank Wilson and Rainforest

[1:47] Project. But

[1:48] » Ted did let us know today that he would

[1:51] not be coming today. Um, have not heard

[1:54] from the other artists.

[1:56] » Uh, Laura, I think it is. Yeah.

[1:58] » Yeah. So, um, and that's only that's the

[2:01] only thing on our agenda.

[2:02] » That's the only thing on the agenda. So,

[2:05] you can leave it with the decision that

[2:06] was made last time and we'll take this

[2:08] to council. Um,

[2:11] it seems like that's actually where

[2:13] we're at because there's no

[2:15] um there's no presentation unless anyone

[2:18] else wants to discuss it.

[2:21] » Okay. So, um I think what we need to do

[2:24] is uh

[2:25] » Anyone but the chair.

[2:27] » Yeah. So, uh, we need to get consensus

[2:30] from our committee members.

[2:32] » Yep. So, just a motion in a second to

[2:34] either keep the vote the same or, um,

[2:36] select a new applicant.

[2:43] » Commissioner Crafts has the floor.

[2:45] » I make a motion to keep the decision the

[2:47] same.

[2:48] » I'll second. Okay,

[2:51] I'll open the vote. Fingers crossed it's

[2:54] working.

[2:57] I have to abstain, right?

[2:58] » Yes, you do have to abstain. So, you can

[3:00] leave yours as is. So, four. Oh, I see

[3:02] it's zero.

[3:03] » Yep. So,

[3:03] » Oh, there it is. Okay,

[3:04] » Perfect. So, four yeses and one

[3:06] abstension.

[3:08] » So, the motion passes.

[3:10] » It does. Motion passes.

[3:15] » Okay. Well, um I think that's uh we get

[3:19] to move on and

[3:21] go to the next thing. I so uh I have a

[3:25] just a little

[3:28] thing to put on our next agenda. Um

[3:33] so what it is is we uh and just we have

[3:37] the fourth annual visual performing arts

[3:40] uh showcase on Feather Fiesta Day.

[3:43] » So that's the 9th and um last year we

[3:47] did really well. Uh we had u Polarmo, we

[3:50] had Orville, Los Plumis. Um

[3:54] uh Thermalo

[3:57] uh I didn't invite uh

[4:00] uh no the what's it called? The studio

[4:04] which is the old central

[4:07] » Uh because of some things within our no

[4:10] child left behind committee. So, but I'm

[4:13] going to invite them this year. And so,

[4:15] I just wanted to shoot that out there.

[4:17] And part of it is to approve the logos

[4:20] that go on our our plaque that we give

[4:23] to the kids. Unfortunately, the last

[4:26] year there were some

[4:28] um problems with

[4:32] our certificates and some complaints.

[4:34] So, we're just going to revisit that and

[4:36] make it all good. Mhm.

[4:38] » But uh any given child is still alive

[4:40] even though the um

[4:43] Kennedy Center is not the Kennedy Center

[4:45] as we know it.

[4:47] » Uh so there's some discussion about that

[4:49] and maybe uh possibly doing alternatives

[4:51] but for the benefit of the city has been

[4:54] really um immense.

[4:57] uh the new person that we have doing the

[5:00] museums are uh have included uh and

[5:06] expanded their program. So u I know

[5:09] commissioner CR had their class visit u

[5:12] the Chinese temple and and some other

[5:14] things. So

[5:17] uh so next meeting we'll we'll just you

[5:19] know I guess formality approve that

[5:21] we're going to sponsor this again and

[5:24] » It's a good thing.

[5:25] » Yep. So, we'll put that as the next

[5:26] agenda item. We do have a standing um

[5:28] item on there from last year. I can go

[5:30] ahead and pull the staff reports from

[5:32] that and send it to you if you'd like to

[5:34] look them over and let me know what

[5:35] edits need to be made.

[5:36] » Sounds good.

[5:37] » Perfect.

[5:38] » Um so, uh I guess uh commissioners,

[5:40] anybody else have something that you

[5:42] might want to add? Things, highlights,

[5:43] blah blah blah.

[5:46] » Commissioner CR. So I just wanted to on

[5:49] the behalf of the dosent remind

[5:51] everybody that our lunar new year

[5:53] celebration is coming up on Saturday the

[5:55] 21st at the temple and that will be from

[6:00] 11 till 2 and the following weekend

[6:04] Saturday February 28th and Sunday March

[6:07] 1st is our museum weekend which includes

[6:11] all of the Orville museum city and

[6:14] county all of but county museums free

[6:17] admission activities and that will be

[6:20] from 10il 4 both days.

[6:24] » Exciting.

[6:24] » Commissioner Real.

[6:31] » Okay. Um the BCOE is doing a is it the

[6:37] any gi given child? So, there's artwork

[6:40] that is going to be at Chico State for

[6:42] March 5th and I'm not sure what the

[6:45] hours are, but it's open to the public

[6:47] and students artwork will be hanging

[6:49] down there for a whole month.

[6:51] » That's the superintendent's art show.

[6:53] » Yes.

[6:54] » Yeah. Highlighting all the high schools

[6:56] in the area.

[6:58] » Yeah.

[6:59] » Just trying to look see.

[7:03] » Uh,

[7:06] anybody else have something they want to

[7:08] add? I um just want to mention I on the

[7:11] um

[7:13] uh Facebook uh a person put a a a before

[7:17] photo of the u table mountain uh

[7:21] driveway down into Orville.

[7:23] » And so uh I can send that to the city

[7:27] and and uh show you what it looked like.

[7:30] Uh I was on channel 12 and I said, you

[7:32] know, it was a rickety old fence and now

[7:35] it it's backed up.

[7:38] I mean, it was kind of cool. It's sort

[7:39] of rustic, but

[7:41] » You could see the improvement. So,

[7:43] » Be really great to see.

[7:44] » Yeah, it would be nice.

[7:46] » And if it's something that the

[7:47] commission, if there's a general

[7:48] consensus, I run the social media page

[7:50] for part of it. If you want me to do a

[7:51] post on that, I can do it as well.

[7:53] » Oh, yeah. I send you the photo and then

[7:54] you can see the before and after. I

[7:56] think that I think it's good. I It's

[7:58] been um such a rewarding thing for the

[8:00] city and the the whole three years and

[8:04] the publicity has been really good. So,

[8:07] and then they mention it on the news

[8:09] every once in a while here and there

[8:10] kind of. So,

[8:13] uh Okay. Well, uh if nothing else, I

[8:16] think we're going to call the meeting.

[8:18] Oh, I have one thing. So, the um if

[8:23] council approves the the mosaic wall for

[8:27] the Huitt Park, then that does wipe out

[8:29] all the funds that are available for the

[8:31] art commission for a time. And um so

[8:36] would you like to I think Kayla

[8:38] generally sends out notices before the

[8:41] meetings, but it may be that you just

[8:42] want to not have meetings for a while

[8:44] until we have something to discuss.

[8:47] » So the only other thing that um would be

[8:50] the uh your voice for the art

[8:52] nominations, but now that comes in what

[8:55] part?

[8:55] » Which that actually will probably be

[8:57] coming soon. We do have state of the

[8:58] city. It's typically the last Tuesday of

[9:01] April. And so we we are We would have

[9:03] that next month.

[9:04] » So, so we would have that discussion

[9:06] next month.

[9:07] » Yeah.

[9:07] » Yeah. Okay. And good. That's timely. So,

[9:09] um

[9:10] » Your voice of the art is uh an

[9:13] organization or and also an individual.

[9:17] » So, you want to um

[9:20] uh get some people

[9:21] » Nominations going out, right?

[9:23] » Yeah. So, we need to actually usually we

[9:26] are the only ones that nominate, but I

[9:28] mean,

[9:29] » But we can do um I think last year there

[9:32] was a social media post perhaps out to

[9:34] the community if there were individuals

[9:35] that members of the community wanted to

[9:37] nominate for that. Um I just had them

[9:39] send those names into me or to Noel,

[9:42] » Right,

[9:42] » For consideration and then those names

[9:44] were provided to you at the meeting

[9:46] where the selection was made.

[9:47] » So, we just fill out the nomination form

[9:49] and send it to you and

[9:50] » Correct. Yep.

[9:51] » And we'll put it on. So, would you like

[9:52] to follow that same process this year?

[9:54] » Well, I think we need to because uh

[9:56] » Yes.

[9:57] » So, what I'll do then between now and

[9:59] then is um because we don't have it as

[10:01] an agenda item, this is just a

[10:03] discussion item, but if the direction or

[10:05] general consensus is for me to do a

[10:07] social media post, I can get that going

[10:09] so that way at least the word is out.

[10:10] » Please do.

[10:11] » And then I can attach a nomination form

[10:13] to that post so that way members of the

[10:15] public can submit theirs as well and

[10:17] then I'll email it out to you. So then

[10:19] on the next agenda we can have it as a

[10:20] discussion item.

[10:21] » Okay.

[10:22] » Okay.

[10:23] » Now there is a plaque out there but it's

[10:25] kind of outdated. We need

[10:27] » It's a little hidden away too. So um I

[10:29] know I've talked with Brian about kind

[10:31] of moving those to perhaps the main

[10:33] lobby where we do have a lot of our

[10:34] visitors to kind of bring awareness to

[10:36] that. I mean I think it's a great thing

[10:37] we're doing but it's only as good as the

[10:38] people who see it, right? So

[10:40] » Yeah, that'd be a better spot, I think.

[10:42] » Okay.

[10:44] » All right.

[10:46] And then so we'll just take it meeting

[10:48] by meeting if um

[10:50] » Kayla can put something out or Noel

[10:53] possibly just to just say

[10:55] » Do a check-in. We don't have anything to

[10:58] present to the arts commission. Would

[10:59] you like to still have a meeting and

[11:00] then if if you all if someone has an

[11:02] item and you really want to meet then we

[11:04] can just meet you know we can still just

[11:06] go forward with the meeting. So there um

[11:09] I think there's eight um

[11:12] sponsors uh for the the mosaics. That

[11:16] might be another thing to maybe put in

[11:18] the public blast um is uh that you can

[11:22] » Those

[11:25] uh images are available for sponsorship

[11:27] so maybe we raise a little more money.

[11:29] » Sure.

[11:30] But

[11:31] » If there's some verbiage that you want

[11:33] to think of between now and say the next

[11:34] couple of days and get it over to me,

[11:36] I'm happy to include that in the post.

[11:39] » Um, okay. I'll try to do something.

[11:41] » Okay. And if you can't, we can

[11:43] brainstorm together.

[11:44] » Yeah. Okay. I like that. I like that

[11:46] better.

[11:47] » Yeah. I was going to say just let

[11:49] Caitlyn know what what you're trying to

[11:51] convey and she can put something cool

[11:52] together.

[11:53] » Okay.

[11:58] Okay. So, uh, with that, um, we don't

[12:01] have to do any motion. I guess we're

[12:03] meeting is

[12:04] » Adjourned. Oh, yeah. Watch Erin's

[12:06] podcast for this week, this month's

[12:09] exciting guest. A foot.
