In attendance: Josef, Emil, Susan, Brian, Chris, Marina
Josef brought in more examples tonight that included samples of stainless steel, aluminum and copper. The stainless steel samples showed what heat does to give the metal different coloration. He also brought in sketches of his ideas for Area One - halibut, sea lion, fishing vessels and Devils Thumb and how they could be oriented along the guard rail including curving the forms to give a sense of depth and movement. Josef had scale models of some of the creatures as well as metal mock-ups. Ideas were thrown around about how glass could add color to the design.
Susan sketched as we talked, drawing a collaboration of some of Josef's ideas along the railing with some of her own. For next week's meeting she will provide a scale working drawing which will provide a visual for Area One and a starting point for the materials cost estimate. We can count on using some salvaged materials (oil drums for example) from the baler facility.
Susan is going to research the additional TRT money available according to the City Finance director to see how much is on the table and if PACPAW is elgible to apply for the funds.
Since last meeting, Chris talked to City Manager Scott Hahn and other City Officials about Area Three. They indicated that they would need to see some plans for the site prior to deciding how much space could be allocated in that area. Sounds like we need to give them a couple of alternatives in visual form.
Banners for Area Two and Four: Marina looked into designs at bannerart.com They are limited online, so it may be an opportunity for us to come up with our own designs. At the last meeting we talked about doing a different design for each banner. Doing 4-5 designs and the repeating as needed would significantly save production costs. Chris will get the exact lamp post design from the contractor this week. It was tentatively agreed that the banners should hang on the outboard side of the dock to reduce impacting the loading/working area of the dock. Size of banners will be determined after the lamp post configuration is known. From the plans, this group is recommending installation of four banners located on the proposed lamp posts along the dock on the USFS/Coast Guard face. The City Manager seemed to like having banners on both sides of the dock. Marina will cost this out and we can discuss as project progresses. Susan will come up with some banner designs after completing the drawing for Area One. Others interested in doing banner designs are welcome. Marina will visit the project site again and figur out how many and what sized banners will work in Area Four.
Next meeting: Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2010 6-7pm in the Library Conference Room

Sounds like a very productive meeting, great job! I wish I could be there next meeting, too, but I'll keep up-to-date while I'm out of town.
ReplyDeleteOn the banners, I know I'd love to design one, but I'm thinking it might be interesting if we asked the the kids of Petersburg to submit designs and we choose from that pool. We could designate subject matter and communicate the size/shape the designs should work within. This would generate community involvement/awareness and for additional grant funds, this could be an important factor.
I'd like to propose we go this direction for the banners. Please respond if you feel differently.
