Present: Sue Collander, Keith Behrendt, Bryan O'Malley, Leah Rogalski-Davis, Janelle Zauner- Hoffart, Laura Simna (arrived after Trek at Rec discussion) Absent: Wilma Kepperley, Jackie Chavez -Anderson, Stephanie Procter Staff. Planning Director Kim Lieber, Administrative Assistant Nicole Rambo -Ackerman REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES Bryan moved, seconded by Leah, to approve the Arts Commission minutes of June 17, 2020, motion passed 5-0. REPORTS OF OFFICERS AND COMMITTEES Butternut Ridee Pocket Park Kim said the quotes for the walk and landscaping portion of the project are due on September 22 and an update will be sent out. The streetscape banner has been designed by Studio Graphique to complement the future Historic District signage. The construction should be finished by the end of the year. Wishing Tree Nicole said there were 123 ribbons on the wall and the themes ranged from unity, love, happiness and health. The commission wanted to put up a Facebook post thanking the community for participating. Drawing Contest Keith said there were three submissions for the contest. Each participant received a prize from Small Studio Productions. He thought the contest was a good idea but there was so much uncertainty with school so families were not able to focus on the contest. There is interest in doing another contest when everyone gets into a routine again. Kim thought it was a good framework. Nicole said the online submission form worked well and helped keep things organized. If the contest is around Valentine's Day, the theme could be "What do you love about North Olmsted?" Scaveneer Hunt Kim thought the idea was great but timing unfortunately did not work out. In retrospect, she thought there should have been more advance promotion for the activity. A week of posts were shared and were not getting any participation. Staff decided to stop the scavenger hunt so the prompts could be used at a better time. Janelle agreed and thought it was launched when businesses were reopening so the community's focus had shifted. Leah suggested having more incentive if the commission tries to do it again. Sue thought the Facebook posts should have more information included. Kim suggested adding more information to the graphic.
