DISCUSSION ITEMS

PAC 2025-006

Strategic Initiatives

Park Planner Matt Roth presented three redesign concepts for the space adjacent

to Town Hall, aimed at enhancing the area around the existing sculpture. Concept

One featured a 4-foot-wide walkway, eight landscaping boulders, and rock mulch

beneath the tree. The sculpture would be positioned in the northeast corner of the

site. Concept Two was similar but included a wider path and placed the sculpture

at the center of the site. Concept Three expanded and rounded the walkway to a

width of 6.5 feet.

Members reviewed the proposals and expressed strong preference for Concept

One, citing its shaded seating options and overall layout as the most inviting. Matt

also shared rough cost estimates for each concept, with Concept One estimated

at $7,910.65.

Chair Jen Perry suggested the possibility of replacing the existing sculpture with a

new sculpture to further enhance the space. Member Julisa Morris supported the

idea and proposed installing a larger concrete pad to accommodate sculptures

with a wider base. The group also discussed adding a trash can, if one is not

already located nearby.

A motion was made and unanimously approved to proceed with Concept One,

initiating supply procurement with funding allocated as follows: $3,000 from the

Lodging Tax Fund and the remainder from the Public Art Fund.

Staff provided an update that the request for proposals for photographing the

Town’s public art collection has been distributed. In addition, staff contacted the

photography teacher at Douglas County High School to explore potential student

involvement in the project. The teacher posed several questions including if

compensation would be available for the students or if a donation be made to the

photography program. Following discussion, the Commission agreed to proceed

with hiring a professional photographer as initially planned. However, members

expressed interest in further exploring the teacher's questions and potentially

partnering with students in the future to obtain additional photographs for the

collection.

Additional strategic initiatives discussed included the ranking of submissions

received for Douglas County Art Encounters installations for Castle Rock;

reviewing a draft budget for the Public Art Fund, especially to establish the timing

of major projects; reviewing recent and upcoming social media and email

newsletter features; and seeking new volunteers to fill the roles of Vice President

and Treasurer for the Castle Rock Arts and Culture Foundation.

To close the meeting, the group reviewed possible location options for the

proposed sculpture series, The Big Drive. Ken Greenberg suggested presenting

the top four options to Town staff to vet a final location. Ken also suggested having

the Town approve some type of letter of intent with the Castle Rock Arts and

Culture Foundation since the Foundation plans to raise significant funding support

to put towards the project.

"I move to proceed with design Concept One as presented by Matt Roth to enhance

the sculpture site at And The Wheels Go Round and initiate supply procurement

with $3,000 of project funding to come from the Lodging Tax Fund and the

remainder from the Public Art Fund."
