He reported that the wire currently located on <br /> Broadway near the Courthouse Coffee Shop is not in good condition and signs <br /> also become wrapped around the wire. Possible sites to hang banners include <br /> the clocktower which has three recesses for banners and the intersection of <br /> Jefferson and Broadway. He noted that the street lights at that intersection <br /> would need to be modified to accommodate hanging banners. Superintendent <br /> Centeno suggested that since the Banner Sub-Committee was disbanded, this <br /> subject could be incorporated in the responsibility of the Public Art Sub- <br /> Committee and Chairperson Ball agreed. <br /> The Commissioners mentioned the "Redwood City Comes Alive" event to be held <br /> on July 3. <br /> ITEM 5 — EVALUATION OF CULTURAL EVENTS HELD DURING THE LAST <br /> 30 DAYS <br /> -Commissioner Britschgi spoke about visiting the Desert Museum in Palm <br /> Springs. <br /> -Commissioner Saye reported on his wife's health progress. <br /> -Commissioner Redington spoke about participating on the judging committee to <br /> select art for wall at the Main Library.
