DISCUSSION ITEMS  
PAC 2025-022  
Ongoing Goals and Objectives - Discussion and Updates  
Staff provided updates noting that the replacement for Sam Colston’s position was  
still in progress. A reminder was also provided regarding the Board and  
Commission Appreciation Dinner, which was scheduled on Monday, Oct. 20 from  
6 to 8 p.m. at The Oaks at Plum Creek. The Big Drive sculpture series had also  
been approved by Town Council. Staff would coordinate with town departments  
and the artists to finalize contracts and initiate the project.  
The commission reviewed and approved a donation letter to the AP Photography  
class at Douglas County High School. The students had been photographing the  
town’s public art collection, and the donation served as a formal thank you for their  
contributions. KC Neel made the motion to approve the donation letter, which was  
seconded by Dana Frazee, and the motion passed unanimously. Staff would  
move forward with executing the donation, and the photos were expected to be  
returned soon.  
The commission reviewed submissions for the Town’s official holiday card and  
selected a finalist. The winning artwork, titled “Winter Nights of Castle Rock,” was  
a colored pencil drawing created by Kamryn Brecheisen, an 8th-grade student at  
Pikes Peak School of Expeditionary Learning. She would receive a $100 gift card,  
a set of her own cards and recognition at an upcoming Town Council meeting.  
The cards would also be placed for sale at the Town's recreation facilities.  
The commission reviewed a draft call for artwork for banner art at the Encore  
Parking Garage in Downtown Castle Rock. The call for artists was set to be  
posted in October, with the goal of reviewing final submissions in November and  
installing the new artwork in early January. The banners would celebrate Castle  
Rock’s local history and the broader sesquisemiquincentennial, marking  
Colorado’s 150th and America’s 250th birthdays. During discussion, Colleen  
Andrus asked for clarification about whether multiple artists or one cohesive  
design would be sought for the banners. She also raised a question regarding  
original art and the acceptance of AI-generated submissions. After discussion, it  
was decided that the application form would include a section allowing artists to  
disclose their mediums, including the use of AI or digital tools such as Photoshop.  
This addition would help the commission assess originality and medium type while  
keeping the language on the banner submission guidelines clear and balanced.  
"I move to approve the donation letter as presented for the Douglas County High  
School's AP Photography class and to honor the hard work and efforts of the  
students in photographing the Town's public art collection."
