Public Comment • Mike Holmes discussed two murals that will be presented to Streetscape Historic Arts and Advisory Committee (SHAAC) for consideration. The murals will be attached to the shade structure at the Veteran’s Forgotten Soldier Garden area between the State Theater and the Wave Broadband building. He was showing the art works to AAC as a courtesy. As our representative on SHAAC, Lee Buckingham will share our concern that the backs of the murals might present a tagging opportunity, if left blank or a solid color. • Mike also reported working with Cal Trans to try to forward AAC efforts in getting more utility boxes to paint. This was referred to Public Art Committee. Agenda Approval Terri Goodman requested to add Art Walk City Hall coverage to the agenda. The revised agenda was approved. Ongoing Business 1. Welcome Susan Dupre to the Arts Commission: Susan adds to our strengths by being an art consumer, strategy development and planning specialist, as well as an engagement strategist. 2. AAC vacancies – Commissioners asked to recruit from their friends, associates, colleagues, etc., recognizing no current members are focused on budgeting/grants/fundraising, and we have no members with strong interest in performing arts; also need to be realistic about the time requirements. 3. Website report: Brian Fries reported on the development of “auburnartscommission.com”. This website is currently scheduled to be functional by April 1. 4. Carnegie Library building update (see Operations Committee email attached): Kaz’s suggestion to replace “emerging artist” component of the AAC recommendations (adopted in Dec 2014 and restated in January 2015) with an “artist in residence” program is referred to the Gallery Committee for consideration and recommendation to the commission.

5. Budget Review mid-year: Kaz Huette will email current budget status to ACC members for review prior to next month’s 2016-2017 budget proposal. 6. Auburn Chamber of Commerce State of the Community Culture Award nomination: Operations Committee nominated Joyce Silva for the Culture Award, moved by April Maynard, and seconded by Kaz Huette.
