STRATEGIC TASKS UPDATES AND REVIEW  
Members reviewed their strategic priorities for October and November. To start the  
review, staff provided a summary of Town staff recommendation to not place  
permanent art at the lot at the Wolfensberger and Wilcox intersection due to  
several concerns, including the eventual plan to use the lot for street  
improvements, the lack of availability of safe parking to view public art, and existing  
testing wells that require access on the lot. The Town Manager is also concerned  
over the public getting attached to art that may require removal in the future when  
transportation improvements are needed.  
Chair Jen Perry asked the group if the proposal Big Drive is strong enough to keep  
as a priority and fundraise towards, assuming the commission could seek  
approval to place the sculpture at a different location. Ken Greenberg expressed  
interest in finding an alternate location and highlighted the importance of the  
proposal having the potential to serve as a tourist attraction and still welcome  
visitors to Castle Rock. Dana Frazee and Inger Hiller also expressed interest in  
continuing with the project. Jen then suggested the creation of a subcommittee to  
continue to research alternate locations throughout October to present a project  
summary in November; Ken and Inger offered to serve on the subcommittee.  
Katie Gasper suggested researching more temporary beautification solutions for  
placement at the lot, and Jen and Katie Gasper volunteered to form an additional  
subcommittee to research alternate options to present to Dave for consideration in  
the future. Temporary solutions could include artistic billboards or signs, fiberglass  
molds, textile art or light art.  
Staff also provided the update that they were coordinating with the Town Attorney's  
Office to seek direction on next steps for the creation of the nonprofit organization,  
the Castle Rock Arts and Culture Foundation.  
To close the discussion, staff reviewed upcoming priorities scheduled for  
November, including brainstorming enhancement solutions for And The Wheels  
Go Round behind Town Hall, social media and email communication planning, and  
scheduling and inviting speakers to attend meetings and provide updates  
throughout 2025.  
COMMISSION COMMENTS  
Dana Frazee invited the group to the Tri Art's Project Second Annual Art of Giving  
Gala, scheduled for Friday, Nov. 8.  
Katie Klossner expressed that she had visited and toured the art gallery located at  
Castle Rock Adventist Hospital and noted that curator Mary Williams had displayed  
a variety of student art from Douglas County High School. Katie suggested  
reaching out on future projects for cross promotion, especially since the  
commission is getting more involvement from students through the Holiday Card  
Art Contest and the Tiny Art Quest. Julisa Morris suggested inviting Mary Williams  
to a future meeting to talk about the art featured at the hospital.  
ADJOURN
