He reviewed their mandate for clarifying the process and <br /> promoting communication; how their review process is in line with many other <br /> communities and said they have an opportunity to expand on the process; clarifying <br /> roles for various bodies; and, possibly next steps that they ask Council to approve. <br /> One Council Member thanked Mr. Beth and Mr. Pianta and opined that they have a <br /> great process that is clearly defined, and as things come up, it can be tweaked. Other <br /> Council comments were positive and included appreciation and thanks to two people <br /> present in the audience who have been concerned about public art, Jason Newblanc <br /> and Beth Mostovoy. There was appreciation for private and public partnerships, <br /> acknowledgement of the amount of work done by volunteers; having a clear process in <br /> place is critical for good dialogue and there are plenty of trigger points if people have <br /> concerns. Council acknowledge the active role of the Redwood City Arts Committee and <br /> how there are means to work through and tweak things as needed to promote public art <br /> and beautify our City. <br /> CITY COUNCIL July 22, 2013 <br /> MEETING MINUTES PAGE 13 <br /> MINUTE BOOK NO. 64 <br /> Page No. 410 <br />
