NEW BUSINESS Clark County Museum Mural-Andy Crouch & Kat Wang—You have a handout I passed around. We are looking to add a mural to the back of the history museum. You would see this from Falls Landing Park and walking towards The Depot. This one is of Robert Taylor he was the first principal of Wall Street School and principal there for 35 years. He and two other students were the first African Americans to graduate Jeff High School. The other option is Falls of the Ohio with Lewis, Clark and York looking out towards the Falls. Depending on which rendering we choose, we would leave some of the renderings up to the artist. Total cost of this mural will be $4900.00 Mr. Moore made a motion for the mural to include Mr. Taylor at $9900.00 with Mr. Stoner seconding and adding if a plaque or some narrative could be on or by Mr. Taylor's picture so everyone understands the history behind Mr. Taylor,passing unanimously by roll call vote 5-0. Andy Crouch, I am going to put Kat Wang on the spot to give us an updated on Falls Landing Park. Per Kat, sculptures are completed and will be installed on October 3. On October 13, in conjunction with the Bloody Mary event at the Depot from 11-2, we will take a tour over to Falls Landing Park at 1:30 to see the sculptures and meet all the artists as well as the artist for the murals on the Clark County Museum. Hope everyone can join us. QUESTIONS FOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Falls Landing Park is in need of additional bollards to stop cars from driving up into the park, cost would be $8000. Mr. Moore made a motion to approve the $8000 for bollards with Ms. O'Coffey seconding,passing unanimously by roll call vote 5-0. BOARD COMMENT Ms. Perkins—I have known Jeanne for a long time, so glad everyone appreciates what she has done and is doing at the Clark County Museum. Updates on some of the new schools; Pike Elementary is moving along, New Middle School on Highway 62 is going to be a great location with all the new development in that area. The new proposed school on Salem Noble,this will be PreK-Fifth grade. Mayor stated he spoke to GCCS Superintendent and Brian Glover on County Council and applauded them for doing this without raising tax rate. Mr. Moore—. Jeanne thank you for all you do and your hard work and knowledge on the history in Jeffersonville, it is very much appreciated. Mr. Taylor graduated high school 100 years before I did. We came in office in 2012 and have taken on some massive road projects. First we had Hamburg Pike, then 10th Street, Holman's Lane, all the downtown streets that sewer repairs had to be completed and now Charlestown Pike and Utica Sellersburg Road. All of these are large enough that you have excitement but we get into the middle of the project and people get upset and complain, I hear you. Blame me, not your council people, do not call my assistant yelling at her. I know there is a lot of pain and headaches during these projects, it will all be worth it. Not sure where we would be if these projects were not tackled. We will be in a much better place once these are completed. Ms. O'Coffey—No comment Mr. Stoner—Jeanne, we are thankful and appreciative for you. This mural will be a great addition to the Clark County Museum with the history behind it. Theresa thank you for negotiating this contract, I can see this data is a great use in a lot of areas for the City and City services for the safety of the community. Mr. Avery—This is a great mural, I remember learning about Mr. Taylor in history class in high school. Mr. Hawkins—I echo the sentiments on the mural and all it represents. To Theresa, we need to put you in charge of negotiating more contracts, from $12,600-$8,000 that is awesome.
