Members discussed vendor logistics and the seasonal vendor program. Staff said some seasonal vendors could be moved to Star Spangled Heights without additional registration fees; if so, those vendors would be given priority in the event layout. Staff also said they would contact vendors registered for an alternate market date (discussed during the meeting as July 20–28 dates but described inconsistently) to confirm whether vendors wanted to move to Star Spangled Heights; staff said they would cancel the alternate date if vendors elect to move.

Commissioners reminded volunteers that VIP parking passes for Star Spangled Heights are available to event volunteers for closer parking for the fireworks and that volunteer sign-up would be coordinated before the event. Staff said volunteers assisting with vendor setup would not be expected to staff the entire event but would receive volunteer information and VIP parking passes as needed.

No formal vote was required on these operational items; staff will follow up with registered vendors and report back to the commission.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Huber Heights - Arts and Beautification Commission - May 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commission staff reported about 16 vendors registered for the Star Spangled Heights event and discussed moving seasonal vendors and volunteer VIP parking; commissioners said staff will reach out to registered vendors about consolidation and potential cancellations.","taxTitle","Huber Heights, Montgomery County, Ohio","taxId",55050,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6535512,"Commission finalizes concise vision statement and readies ‘Shark Tank’ idea form",1440,1494000,2934000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3395540-1030c3e475c56042b514656133ddad16&start=1494&end=2934","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3395540-1030c3e475c56042b514656133ddad16/thumbnail_1494000.jpg","/articles/6535512/Huber-Heights/Montgomery-County/Ohio/Commission-finalizes-concise-vision-statement-and-readies-Shark-Tank-idea-form","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6535512-959db7fc1f3d13103138f54aca6e9e72/orig.mp4?Expires=1770947766&Signature=M8xJkINW3CSZmweHCXW54aYnbLkB36a3-m5rVLNwiW7-LJnAYj~BGfyVtDO3zg7sXDNpGsd9nurZie4Botzeu9nhu4FR14HzXYxqXd4M~hCIiVsrAc-aZNY-vu5FjyJkeMUkkFbPGUQNb~EjHvgwknYbK0vccS5f6JBwoUNuRMqiN238V5RfXejkJfGRZsf78h2IvUdVfZ0ZLdV~bbjOt25z8KqL4qUd1FdlvaAHec5x6WC~LkGJFvnVzLAcDCK9WNpe9EcMIB0W9gaHEZk421U-jxdmFYihG6fSMx0CL4Cz5agCh6f~X4YGQXYRF8KjcCfLhwehzPmG9cd4279vww__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Huber Heights Arts and Beautification Commission finalized a concise vision statement on June 19 and encouraged community members to bring project ideas to the commission’s July Shark Tank session.

After reviewing several drafts and discussing phrasing, commissioners agreed on the wording: “The Huber Heights Arts and Beautification Commission cultivates all forms of art in celebration of our uniquely beautiful and culturally diverse home.” Members said the statement is intended as a guiding “north star,” may appear on future agendas, and help commissioners and the public evaluate prospective projects for cultural fit.

Commissioners acknowledged the statement was drafted initially with the help of an AI tool to synthesize input and then edited in discussion to remove clumsy phrasing and emphasize diversity and “beautiful” to reflect the commission’s beautification work. Members debated alternatives (for example, using “representing” versus “celebration”), and discussed whether to use present tense wording such as “cultivates.” The final phrasing was accepted by consensus; no formal council-level bylaw change was required.

On programming, commissioners outlined the Shark Tank process for the July meeting and circulated a guidance form. Staff said community members may submit a short, 50-word description of a proposed project to come to Shark Tank; the paper form is intended as guidance and not a formal, binding submission. Commissioners encouraged volunteers and residents to share ideas, noting the commission can ask follow-up questions during the July session.

Commissioners said the Shark Tank form and a guidance packet will be available to help potential applicants describe scope, uniqueness and costs. The commission also said it will keep a separate list of policy and procedure items that may need more formal consideration later.","The Huber Heights Arts and Beautification Commission settled on a short vision statement during its June 19 meeting and released guidance for community members to submit Shark Tank project ideas for consideration in July.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6535516,"Commission agrees to invite RFP firm and local artist to discuss outdoor community art project",913,434000,1347000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3395540-1030c3e475c56042b514656133ddad16&start=434&end=1347","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3395540-1030c3e475c56042b514656133ddad16/thumbnail_434000.jpg","/articles/6535516/Huber-Heights/Montgomery-County/Ohio/Commission-agrees-to-invite-RFP-firm-and-local-artist-to-discuss-outdoor-community-art-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6535516-8208dc6d39e606620d470f2125e89a95/orig.mp4?Expires=1770947766&Signature=fnC-KjEkEfyBmoLr5iBbJYDCG-TvSaJLFRerbAPPbQJk9NTvNL7noV2cVs7nFWElZTkQnDVbcClQJVXWheXblLmPZVH7Hgq9dr-QNbHRbGQe~Aj-YJcPNlQBItCbKUS4XZkEXNlw4pd8sZTFHCAMv-AsNRL~sz-lcsxm53x98sMdEfNZ64v51C84b~kEYMnQFwGEXXE63j~mWh-A5ipH5uzKc91Tl1hD2LrbvFrqD91zzl90Ul2rfkNzdNEEbDEuGt-nR2eHkdNhGnQHfCwmd51ZVU6T9C-04gSNJOwiCumsPNe4sif8NttESdvXxrp277TMRvWoPecZfw153oZl2g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Huber Heights Arts and Beautification Commission on June 19 agreed to invite the firm that submitted a response to the commission’s community-art RFP and a local artist who proposed a painted mural to an upcoming meeting for further discussion.

Commission members said the RFP response from an advertising/design firm was extensive but felt more tailored to indoor installations. Several members said the submission did not clearly outline options for a large outdoor, participatory public art piece. A local artist contacted the commission with a concept to memorialize local athletes; members said the artist’s portfolio included pastel-based work that would require adaptation for a long-lasting outdoor mural.

During the meeting commissioners discussed site possibilities and maintenance concerns. Suggested locations included a large wall near a local athletic foundation and the side of the South Pointe shopping-area building along the Fishburg thoroughfare. Commissioners raised durability questions for mosaic installations mounted on building walls in the local climate, noting freeze-thaw cycles and long-term maintenance would need to be addressed. Members also discussed options to install mural panels on freestanding supports rather than directly on masonry to reduce weathering and maintenance risk.

Commissioners proposed pairing the professional design team from the RFP with the local artist to combine community input and technical design/installation capacity, and asked that the firm include a participatory element (for example, a paint-by-numbers activity) where feasible. The commission asked staff to invite both the design firm and the local artist to an upcoming commission meeting (the calendar reference in the meeting alternately named June and July; members indicated July would be a likely date but invited the firm sooner if possible).

Cheryl Grennickel moved to invite the firm and the local artist to a future commission meeting; Mason Knickerbocker seconded. The motion passed by voice vote.

Staff said they will request examples of the firm’s completed outdoor work, confirm potential locations, and follow up with the commission at a future meeting.","After reviewing a detailed RFP, the Huber Heights Arts and Beautification Commission voted to invite the proposing firm and a local artist to a future meeting to refine an outdoor mural or participatory art approach.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6535521,"Huber Heights commission approves new yard-beautification signage and winner recognition",350,67000,417000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3395540-1030c3e475c56042b514656133ddad16&start=67&end=417","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3395540-1030c3e475c56042b514656133ddad16/thumbnail_67000.jpg","/articles/6535521/Huber-Heights/Montgomery-County/Ohio/Huber-Heights-commission-approves-new-yard-beautification-signage-and-winner-recognition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6535521-282cb2442290ccc380652ff08d2a63df/orig.mp4?Expires=1770947766&Signature=mukysqUSW-bUKqaIA1cm2kK4Owy-~YJwbjarnTHp80VoOCeteW2ax2Y-r0MvrtVgLbndXfu8BuHxfnYUOack7RZY9NnXC917h0awYQ2WXVSUVLcGnvYUuT2-BifM781OyqWcMscq7hHA9FXuHvp-cYPTlMcakN7cowyIgEbbuCFjaGg1hCYsMFUweACnsBdCDb621VKQC0kAAV-R1eGxZz32A1uLoXGukrEBAeboPS7t9~27QZgfmUiJWAnLjI3jUQ6c6lG20mz-7oUxKNkpeCVCRc-ms7bePhSWwrj~rbzTCIc8Bd4k-RXmqkFEs7cZqU-udGbR1E0pBRYjo4d19Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Huber Heights Arts and Beautification Commission voted June 19 to adopt a two-tier sign program for its yard-beautification awards: a lightweight nominee sign displayed during the nomination period, and a removable ‘‘winner’’ rider mounted on an arm post left with awardees.

Commissioners said the change is meant to make recognition more visible while giving winners a lighter, removable keepsake. The commission agreed the nominees would receive a standard corrugated plastic yard sign with a QR code linking to the nomination page; winners would receive a heavier arm post (about $35 each) that accepts a top rider identifying the homeowner as a winner and a bottom, grommeted sign the household can keep.

The commission discussed cost trade-offs for the base corrugated signs: bulk orders of 50 would cost about $5 per sign, while orders of 25 run closer to $8 per sign. Members said they preferred buying the more durable posts and producing a distinctive rider for winners so the permanent-looking post could remain city property while winners keep the rider.

During discussion, members also recommended proactively emailing prior nominators and the heads of other city commissions to encourage new nominations and to ask that any commissioner recuse themselves from judging if their own property is nominated. Commissioners emphasized they will offer alternatives if a homeowner declines a yard post — the lighter wire bracket used for nominee signs would remain an option.

Greg Fox moved to adopt the plan described above; Cheryl Grennickel seconded. The commission voted unanimously by voice vote; the motion carried.

The commission did not set a precise budget line during the meeting and said staff would return cost estimates for bulk ordering and storage at a later date.","The Huber Heights Arts and Beautification Commission voted June 19 to adopt a rolling nomination sign program for its yard-beautification award and to provide upgraded, removable winner signage on arm posts.","actionData","errors"]
