The committee also talked about the language to accompany the donor wall and will be able to provide an update to Mr. Friedman once approved. Additionally, there are small elements of design that may still need to be worked out. Committee Member Jonen discussed the purpose of foundations and how that differs from the operational needs of taxing-bodies. Executive Director Miskewitch confirmed that the committee was comfortable and willing to pay for the appraisal and shipment of the Hoover Dam triptych. Trustee Pye shared photos of her tour of Fermilab where another Martyl art installation is located. Committee Member Rachel Newlin will follow up with Fermilab contacts; the University of Chicago; and the Art Institute on how to best intake this donation. Discussion was had on any restoration and framing considerations and Ms. Newlin will research and offer recommendations to help us best determine next steps. NEW BUSINESS xecutive Director Miskewitch recommended to discuss agenda building items first and then move to the tour of the new spaces to see all the new wall opportunities that exist. A list was generated of items to discuss at the next meeting. The committee toured the 2nd-floor space with attention to the walls. ADJOURNMENT Trustee Seyring adjourned the meeting at 7:30 P.M.
