Design Committee Meeting AGENDA April 8, 2020 Noon Conference call: 712-451-0897 Access: 698020 DRAFT Attendees: Will Grimes, Kristin Pleasanton, Dawn Melson, Rosie Mujica, Tina Bradbury, Diane Laird Approval of Minutes (Feb.) – Motion duly made by Dawn and Will and approved unanimously. • Work Plan 2020 final review • “Spring Into Action” – Merchants and property owners may not be ready to consider this at this time, so hold off on survey until further notice. • Mural or other art project 2020 and potential grant request- Currently RCD and D3 are doing murals. Consider instead a portable mural, to be used as an attraction for on-site survey and other uses: learn about downtown, survey people or engage for input with fun questions. Design of something that represents downtown…”Shop, Eat, Explore, Repeat”; identify various events and buildings of downtown. Maybe a chalkboard in the center, with frame being the art, and center is the question or event. Aspect that could include promo items/booklets, possibly even a “senior informational section” to identify ideas/programs/activities for seniors: AARP tax preparation/senior feeding area. Volunteers could be engaged in promoting whatever is on the board. Seniors could be involved in the project. John Waters is a very qualified professional artist who the committee could engage to develop the design/implement the artwork. Maybe City of Dover Parks and Rec could help store it. City-wide events could store. Wheels, awning, lightweight. Committee members are asked to research pictures of portable kiosk and get images to Diane by close of business next Tuesday. • Josh finished all parts of birds mural and Dover post card is finished, with exception of a small branch below cardinal. Consider plaque providing interpretation/key to each mural, recognize the building owner at time of mural installation. Or QR – code. Elena to research cost of plaque for building. • Workplan: Date correction. Draft plan is good as is, with exception of possible inclusion of above- discussed portable art project (AARP grant funding, if achieved.) • Public Comments - N/A DJL Next Meeting Date: Wed, May 13, 2020 - 12:00 pm (To be confirmed.)
