1. Welcome and Introductions
Chair Piccicinni called the meeting to order.
2. Approval of Previous Meeting Minutes
Approval of October meetings minutes.
3. ARTober Recap
Elissa spoke of funding challenges, and the one-on-one dedication to overseeing
ARTober as a whole. Working with an outside third-party organization would help move
things forward and grow the event. The brochure is a good showcase piece, as well as a
piece of art for us. Mary suggested that we get a summary of events, as well as an
expenditure list for Decembers meeting. A final summary/overview of sorts. Perhaps
survey hosts and participants to get their feedback as well. Zeth said he would help pull
that report together for December.
4. Grant Applications
Two applications have been received: one from the Green Gem, and one from the
th
Bangor Public Library. Review will happen at the December 8 CCD meeting.
5. Other Business
Committee chair updates: Elissa motioned to elect Mary as new Chair, Stephanie
seconded. Mary concerned about taking a vote with so few members present; vote
tabled until next meeting.
Parking garage banners: RFP is out for artists to design new banners that will hang at the
Pickering Square Parking Garage. These banners will not need to fall under the Public
Art & Monument Policy, as they function as a City advertisement. City will look for two
CCD commissioners to be on the voting/advisory panel; Elissa and Mary volunteered.
New commissioners: The incoming commissioners for CCD are Amy Blackstone, Liam
Riordan, Owen Smith, Jared Hunnefeld, Allen Adams, and Kim Stewart. They will be
sworn in at first City Council meeting of new year, which is Monday, January 9, 2017.
Future Commission Meetings (8:30 a.m. in Council Chambers):
