issue? How much? Could they do it with a ladder? Could they do it above lot 10 or behind
CTB?

A. Funding for Public Art - There is a family foundation interested in funding arts. They
currently fund the SOS grant. CAP wants to hire a part time person to facilitate $20,000/yr

murals. Hopefully will happen in 2016. Tourism and Chamber is putting together $10,000
for a call.
