The artwork is being manufactured now and will be <br />installed in the spring when the weather allows. The construction sign will remain up until the <br />park is complete. There is an issue with a dead tree near the property line of the park that may be <br />a potential safety risk and staff is resolving the issue. There have been requests from the <br />community about where to park. Since this was designed to be a local neighborhood park that <br />would be walked or biked to, parking was not included. <br />Light Up the Nights <br />The webpage with the google map was shared on December 14 and had been viewed 1,294 times <br />by the meeting time. A reminder post asking which property is the community's favorite will be <br />posted to encourage more participation. <br />Hug in a Mug at St. Richard Apartments <br />The gift bags will be assembled on December 17 and dropped off at St. Richards December 21. <br />Girl Scout Troop #71032 made cards and decorated the bags. Sue made ornaments for the bags <br />and small jars of honey were donated by Jule's Bzzz Elixir. Crocheted snowman pins were <br />donated and will be included with other snacks and treats. The gift bags will be shared on social <br />media. Kim thought this was a good opportunity to use art to bring joy to the low-income <br />seniors. <br />Mayor's Art Show <br />Kim and Nicole spoke with the high school art teachers and they are eager to do something with <br />their students. During the pandemic, art has been a creative outlet for the students. The 2021 art <br />show will be a virtual art gallery similar to the Veterans Art Gallery. There will be <br />approximately the same number of pieces as the 2020 event. Teachers will provide photos of the <br />art by February. The teachers would like to highlight the senior artists so a photo and short <br />biography of each will be included. The gallery will be shared online the first two weeks of <br />
