CIVIC CULTURAL COMMISSION Minutes of Meeting February 4 , 1975 Page 2 include Canada College and others . He mentioned that a mural is a public piece of art and therefore should be created more in middle ground than being " far out . " Wood could be used - perhaps a series of panels in redwood , depicting scenes of Redwood City history. Mr . Vollmayer suggested that at the time a design is submitted a scale for materials should be submitted also , in case funds would need to be approved by the Council . The project will probably go to bid and construction start in March . Mr . Weeks said he felt it would be necessary to set a possible amount . Mrs . Groberg suggested that if schools were to be involved in submitting designs , it might be necessary to let them know in time to submit them before school is out . Mr. Buickerood said he would like to have designs submitted by quite a number of persons . Mr . Vollmayer said it might be well to have the construction completed and then request designs since by that time it would be better know& what funds might be available . He suggested that another use for the panel area might be some kind of a continuing demonstration of art , perhaps a changing series of art works by students . Mr . Weeks said if there were exterior displays of this kind it would be necessary to build cases for them. He suggested that the Commission might move ahead by developing the concept , perhaps appointing a subcommittee to study the problem and set up some ground rules . Mr . Vollmayer will call Mr . Stobal and let him know that he will be contacted later when the plans are developed . Mr . Vollmayer then referred to the new Archives Committee which will be getting under way soon. Materials collected will be a contribution to our heritage from the past . This endeavor was described in a REDWOOD CITY TRIBUNE editorial page article on Saturday , February 1 . He also reported that arrangements have been made with the American Glass group for us to have the largest display case during the month of April for display prior to and during the Quilt Show . He will also allow us to use the small display cases on each side of the entrance a AGENDA ITEM 2 : Mr . Weeks showed designs presented by Mr . Tom Whitson for the downtown furniture .
