Oral Communications (Any person may address the Committee in regard to any matter over which the Commission has jurisdiction or of which it may take cognizance that is not on the agenda.) Linda, the Community Relations representative from Wind River attended as an observer. She stated that she was collecting information on the responsibilities of various art organizations throughout Alameda. She expressed Wind River's interest in creating a relationship with local artists and organizations. The company would like to have on-site exhibitions, but would be limited to only public receptions. 4. Written Communications - NONE 5. Old Business A. Update on Alameda Towne Centre - (Discussion Item) - Tad Savinar, Art Consultant, Harsch Investment Properties Tad Savinar updated the PAC on public art at Alameda Towne Centre. He expressed a desire to clarify some issues that arose during a previous phone conversation with the PAC. He displayed two life-size drafts of panels for the John Laursen Project. He explained that the artist has visited Alameda in order to conduct research. The panels will be full color (tonation of the era), baked enamel; each will have title block. The artist will likely start the project with twelve panels, with hopes of adding more. C Huston asked if the panel project would be a historical, informative, well- executed storytelling thing, or would it be art. Mr. Savinar stated that the project would be historically informative. C Huston questioned the project's conceptual depth. CM Wolfe interjected that a good narrative could make a difference in the final product. Mr. Savinar added that the proposed subjects do not include images of parks or families, and most are taken around the turn of the 20th century. CM Cervantes stated that families are changing, and this diversity would be good to capture. C Huston stated that the project does not have to tell all the stories of Alameda; it does not have to be all things to all people. She went on to ask the PAC if a historically based, design focused project is acceptable. CM Wolfe stated that art can take a narrative form. CM Cervantes added that one of the program's missions was to provide opportunities for lifelong learning, and this project passes information on to the centre's visitors.
