CPAC: damaged sculpture being rebuilt; insurance claim filed — commission to receive 25% of proceeds
Summary
Commission members heard an update that the damaged sculpture’s artist is rebuilding the piece, an insurance claim was filed and CPAC is entitled to 25% of claim proceeds; timing and exact amounts remain uncertain.
Commission members received an update that an artist whose work was damaged is rebuilding the piece and intends to re‑install it after Mountain Fair if schedule and town logistics allow. The artist, Sarah (name used in discussion), told CPAC she is redesigning the mounting method to increase structural integrity and hopes to reinstall immediately following Mountain Fair, though she gave no firm date.
Town staff has submitted an insurance claim for the damaged work; commissioners said CPAC is to receive 25% of any claim recovery and the artist the remainder. Meeting discussion indicated the retail price discussed for that work was roughly $6,000, but speakers said the exact settled amount and insurance disposition were not yet confirmed. CPAC members asked staff to coordinate timing with town events and noted that reinstalling during Mountain Fair may be difficult because of increased vendor traffic.
Commissioners discussed possible short‑term mitigations, including a swap of locations with another sculpture so the damaged artist’s work could be moved to a less exposed spot while repairs occur. CPAC agreed to ask Laurie (town staff) whether the town would undertake relocation of other pieces or whether additional town labor would be required.
No formal motion was made at the meeting on the insurance claim; members asked staff to report back with confirmation of the insurance settlement and a proposed timeline for repair and reinstallation.
