Chairman Macht recalled the flower show was a spectacular <br />event and predicted art shows could be the same, provided nothing <br />is attached to the walls. <br />Commissioner Eggert agreed, provided somebody looks at the art <br />first. <br />Chairman Macht continued that it will be a gallery display, <br />nothing permanent. He pointed out that the Courthouse was a <br />beautiful building with plenty of room for art; the public is <br />paying for it and should be available to the public for enjoyment - <br />- but there must be control. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if it was envisioned that the art <br />would be displayed there for the enjoyment of the day-to-day <br />visitors or was it something that would be an attraction for <br />viewing on special -occasions. <br />Chairman Macht outlined the concept that for special occasions <br />there would be an opening on the weekend, by invitation, and the <br />exhibitor would be responsible for the cost of maintenance/ janitor <br />and security. Following the opening, the art would remain <br />displayed for a week or two, so everyone could see it. <br />Commissioner Adams asked if displays would include crafts, <br />ceramics, stained glass, and so forth. There was discussion with <br />some disagreement, whereupon Commissioner Bird wondered where we <br />should draw the line. <br />Commissioner Tippin trusted Director Dean's judgment. <br />Commissioner Bird felt it placed a tremendous burden on him <br />and the staff. <br />Commissioner Eggert wanted to try it and volunteered to help <br />Director Dean. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams,_ the Board unanimously <br />approved, on a conditional basis, the Policy <br />and Procedures for Displaying Exhibits as <br />presented, and directed staff to bring it back <br />in six months, if necessary. <br />Commissioner Bird inquired if weekend security requirements <br />would be at the same level, and Chairman Macht recalled security <br />was minimal and adequate for the flower show. Director Dean <br />reported it would be handled just like the flower show. <br />41 <br />June 20, 1995 - _ <br />
