Public Art - Piulle Commissioner Piulle reported on her conversation with the artist who created the Arguello bust, Ray Lorezato. He estimated it would cost $500 to make repairs. Commissioner Piulle thought that it would be appropriate to consider the funding request once a location had been determined for the statue. Ms. Piulle also spoke of her attendance at the City Hall Facilities Committee where she reiterated the Commission's position that the building should be completed prior to making decisions on the art. She noted that several Ralph Ledesma paintings are currently hanging in the temporary City Hall. Summer Concerts Vice Chairperson Filippi reported on the excellent attendance at the most recent summer concert. The concept of having all concerts at one park site and the use of banners and enlarged flyers in store windows seems to have increased the crowds.

Youth and Special Events Commissioner Britschgi reported that the Redwood City Art Center would be doing art activities for children at Make a Circus on Tuesday, August 5th at Red Morton Park.
