Music Public invited to be heard anybody have anything to say she She's our public today We missed you last week There's somewhere I can't remember Was it Eric? I think this is me. Yeah Yeah, yeah Everybody have a chance to look at the minutes As usual Anybody want to make a motion to accept the minutes Thank you Anybody opposed No, no exceptions this month Which will make somebody by the name of mark I think he's a volunteer at the Oh, yeah, this mark is nice next to him at the volunteer reception and he said Do you always have to approve? Because he keeps I don't know he does like catalogs or something like that So do you ever reject anything? We do we either a lot that that you don't uh, you don't ever see things for us that You know don't relate to a lot at all. Anyway mark. We happy this But yes when he's catching up when we between the transition we we got pretty far backlogged on cataloging So the mark is having to deal with some of that All right, now the session so let's go into our reports and the first one is there's board over here. All right, so Um, I'll get a few highlights if you haven't taken a look out our windows the steward family courtyard is Yeah in process. Well, there's all kinds of dirt being moved right now Um, if you were here earlier in the day, you might have felt the building shake a little bit because they've been doing a lot of compacting of this oil Uh all in order to give us a nice flat courtyard with hopefully a great drainage and and a much more usable facility from most of the year About that As you can see they totally dismantled all of the the old pavilion that was there and there's a big hole in the ground where the new performance We are right now. I think the latest completion date is Somewhere mid may that's already shifted a couple weeks as they've had some snow to deal with We are not planning on using the grassy area this this summer chance to root down and fully established And opening it this fall So you won't have the concerts there this summer concert will be out in uh parks around the city for three People know hey, you know, which parks um I don't think justin has chosen them yet. I know kinomoto park was one that was Um, it seems like a good possibility He's working with the folks in parks to find ones that Have the right sort of infrastructure for a working crowd And we should be announcing those in a couple weeks I will also mention uh under administration that uh, we're starting to work on a code of ethics for a museum So this is something you'll see coming back To you in a couple of months That's one of the kind of standard documents that museums should have According to the american alliance of museums We've never had one so We're gonna start the process and then bring it to you all for some further discussion And I guess the bribery is we'll have to start that that is one of the elements is, you know, bruce This picture will be Public enemy Exhibits we have uh, jerry thompson here with us our curator of exhibits So if you have any questions about any of the elements of your exhibits, please ask him If not, uh, I'll highlight, uh, we have already opened registration for summer camps seems hard to believe under education Um Before we know it we will have our summer camps They're going to be using a fenced in area out in front of the museum this summer as the courtyard gets established But we're still going to have a full array of our And a lot of them this year will be talked by museum staff Rather than contracting out our camps, which is basically a No net gain to our bottom line. We're able to bring in staff and so actually hopefully be able to Uh, make some money on our on our camps this year So you'll enjoy it. It'll be teacher We've got uh, uh, some great new folks, uh, henry anderson, uh, julie benoit our new staff So ann and lee are what the city calls permanent or Uh, benefited staff and then, uh, henry and julie are both part-time non-benefit So I'll be bringing them on as needed for classes and so forth. And so they'll be pretty much full time in the summer We'll skip on down to art and public places I wanted to give you all a heads up because This is one of those things that you never know. It may pass completely under the radar or it may become a big issue So the safety and justice center, um, which is basically a third in kimbark street Was built in 1993 and is undergoing a massive renovation They actually When they did an assessment a couple of years ago, there's a sort of Front rotunda on that and they said this is just about to fail So, um, there's major work that that building will be undergoing and unfortunately There is a very large mosaic mural that is mounted Or basically integral to the clock tower on the safety and justice building and the clock tower is coming down and unfortunately cannot salvage the mural so, um That has been deaccessioned by the art and public places commission They will be putting in the new artwork of conclusion of the project, but Sadly one of the first pieces of public tire in the city is It's going to have to be Removed that they looked at really hard Is there any way to salvage it and because it is basically integral to the building as it stands now There's no way for it to be salvaged. So, um You know, certainly something we will be working with the city's communications team to let folks know about it We don't want this to be, you know swept under the rug or anything, but Certainly something that could come up if anyone does Have any questions feel free to refer them to myself or the angel of braille or public places Administrator, I would assume that somebody will be taking some kind of Photographs We'll be very well documented We've reached out to the artists Let them know They actually have the right if they wanted to try to salvage it on their own and they have not responded so Multiple attempts by multiple channels to If you Walk Into the front doors of the safety and justice building You'll walk It's it's basically Right at the front, but it is kind of enclosed. There's a big arc of Concrete ribs that come out of the building and it is Inside those ribs. So if you're just standing looking at the building, it's easy to miss But as you kind of walk up to the front of that, you'll see there's a um, your old tripe below the The clock that hasn't worked for many years and We'll be coming down as part of the whole project I just wanted you all to be aware of that since It is something that There could be you know, uh public concern over Probably be at least one letter to the newspaper At least Are they expanding the building or they just uh, Mostly renovation, but some expansion as I understand So, I mean, you know, there's a lot more cops and public safety And when the building was built in 1993, so I guess we need more space Are you talking about the public safety? Um, yeah, just talking about the the accession You were talking about that the the building needs to accommodate more auto thieves There's some of that but a lot of it is the foundations of the building was It's in bad I've been in the public safety Looking and just the foundation the The cracks In like key parts. So like if you have a supporting being And you look along the floor Where the concrete would absorb the rug. It's just all well. It sounds like we're always constructed Yeah, it's like the city city center too. Yeah You can't carry a lot of weight So like some of the public or aren't public places The essential, you know, some of the artworks that they have in there if they put in anything too heavy it can Crash down So so now lightweight Lightweight lightweight The new whatever new artwork. Yes. Yes. I'll be much lighter People move animals Moving on Saturday June 22nd March your calendars for a fundraiser at the museum It is called touch a truck. So we are going to be working With a number of different city departments. They're very excited to be here show off some of their cool pieces of equipment And we will be selling tickets For families and anyone who wants to come in you can actually come in and sit in You know a city garbage truck a city fire truck the public works Trucks parks trucks all kinds of things. So We will be filling the museum lot with all of these vehicles and then parking folks in the rec center lot and probably have shovels from the innovation center down the road To be a very popular event And I already mentioned Stats on our visitor services Going on with marketing and then under volunteer and evaluation coordination and retreat Volunteer appreciation from valentine's day event Last week We're able to be here appreciate coming out Meet up with other volunteers and see what folks are doing for the museum And more more about long line through the oh god. Yeah, they're truly trivia Is a team effort Any questions on the director's report Okay, thanks Um For the chair, I don't think Hallie had anything that she wanted to bring forward Unfinished business Don't I was looking through the minutes. I don't think there's anything that we More aware of any of the vision statement was heard last month New business We need to designate the official posting places dates and times of the museum advisory Brand to mind me is here at the museum civic center online. Correct And just um, we should have done this last month, but your secretary I do it So and the and just designate that your meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month or 30 p.m At the long run museum, so everyone wants to look at motion Anybody like to move Catherine second I'm second I've moved Yes, okay Our meeting times will be posted online at the civic center and here everybody Agree with that say I The opposition Wanted to post in many more places Okay, the motion passes Any more comments about any topics or groups No Well, I'm sure I apologize for that They're always good comments, I think Makes us think about some things I appreciate those I'd like to Do Hopefully when it snows or it rains the water won't back up into the museum Yeah, in a while since we had that particular problem problem, but uh, certainly the the swamp that that Central area of the courtyard becomes and Not great for any kind of event. Yeah, so it must be regraded So they're actually going to put all of the drainage underground right now the townspouts all go basically onto that and onto what was a grassy area Just pipe it directly into underground pipes and then What have been kind of a grassy area closest to the museum will become hard escape. So it would be much flatter much used For a longer period of time deal with Anything else Where We are at 85 percent of our goal And January was kind of a quiet period For the campaign we actually just met this week with our couple campaign committee Um, so our two big fundraisers This year one will be the touch of truck event and then the other on september 7th will be uh gala that will hopefully wrap up the campaign Megan also just sent in a letter to the petra foundation in denver That's kind of the first step of a multi-step process to apply for a grant That's here and then We're planning a couple of smaller events Farmed at table dinner at holand farms as a fundraiser and probably an event here at the museum that May be similar if any of you came to the walkthrough event we have Back in november where we're kind of touring you through Um, where the expansion will be you know now we've got an opportunity to show folks, you know, here's Here's the first phase. Um, you can also look at the Offices which are now completed moved into And so those those will be kind of some of the Fundraiser events and you know continuing to contact folks reach out And we expect we'll be doing that all the way and hopefully We And what's the date of that? september 7 Oh, that's great Yeah, we've had great support. Uh, in fact, um, our consultants, uh, prismatic Consulting that kind of laid out what they thought We could get from individuals corporate Foundations, uh, they thought we could get about a hundred thousand from individuals and they've already well surpassed that Just as a reminder, I remember our former board member dale had suggested um And encouraged It was the end because probably already has occurred That would be good if each board member contributed something There's no minimum or maximum And it's I know from my experience in the healthcare industry, it's always good to be able to say When people ask, you know, who's your board or has someone's opinion you're able to see Oh, yeah, we have a hundred percent Have contributed so We're not expecting But that would be a foundation would not be rejected. Absolutely One of the things they ask is has a hundred percent of your board So it's very helpful Does anybody have anything else they would like to bring up before we move to adjourn and move into our featured presentation and see me And somebody like to move and we adjourn I move that we adjourn Well, there we go And that is about I can't see I have four fifty four All right, well we have I'm sure it'll be an interesting presentation by Jared And I'm having gone through several of the exhibits since I've been on the board They're all amazing I don't know how they get so creative And I'm sure it just happens Right, yeah, bring you guys through the process and I'll show you some of the policies
