ART IN PUBLIC PLACES UPDATES:
Mr. Pantin asked about the status of the artwork at the Police and Fire Headquarters building. Ms. Cathers responded that the Police and Fire Chiefs asked for modifications of the scope to include cast bronze emblems for Police; Fire; Communications; and the City; and to have them embedded in the base and lit.
