Notes from 02-09-2010 6pm Meeting

Present: Marina Whitacker, Joef Quitslund, Chris Cotta, Emil Tucker,
Susan Christensen, Michele Pfundt, Joyce Schultz, Peter Schultz, Debi McMahon

Michele (representing PAC) spoke to the group regarding the TRT Grant request due 02-19-2010. PAC will be requesting the entire amount available ($11,271.00) with $7k for the PACPAW Centennial Sculpture project, and any remaining granted money to be given to the PACPAW Port Dock project. Susan C. will start the Port Dock project TRT grant application and forward to Josef, Marina, Chris & Sue Savage for additional input and edits, while Michele will work with Polly Lee to complete the Centennial Sculpture project application. The Port Dock grant application needs to be emailed to Michele by Feb. 16th so she has time to prepare for submission to the TRT committee by the 02-19-2010 deadline. Michele stressed the importance of having representatives of the Port Dock project at the TRT meeting on 02-25-2010. We agreed that Josef, Marina and Sue Savage would represent the project at that meeting.

Susan and Josef presented the conceptual drawing for Area One. Josef gave a rough cost estimate of $8k for metal for that portion of the project. He brought a really beautiful full-scale salmon prototype which he estimated took about a half-hour to complete.

Marina gave a report on banners. She has identified 9 locations (4 on the dock and 5 on the street) and had visuals of these. Michele brought forward Savage's idea to have the banner designs made during a possible PAC-sponsored summer fine art camp for youth. An arts education grant might be possible for this type of project. Josef suggested the banners might be fabricated by a local. There was discussion about length/width of the banners; total height of the support poles will be 12' per the engineer's design.

Chris reported that the City Council approved of paying for design of the paving of Dock Street, which might include sidewalks as well, if allowable by the EDA grant.

Josef will be meeting with the Harbor Bd. 02-10-1010 and will present the Area One conceptual drawing. Susan will make copies of the drawing, with one for Chris to give to PN&D.

Group agreed to meet again on 02-16-2010 at 6pm only if we feel it necessary in order to complete the TRT grant application. Otherwise, next meeting will be scheuduled when Sue Savage is back in Petersburg.

Respectfully submitted, Susan C.
