The Victorian Village Commission recommended four public-art installations for Goodale Park after a juried selection process narrowed submissions to four finalists. Jason Henry and Dee Cates described the process and said artists and organizers will coordinate with Recreation & Parks on footing, mowing clearances and maintenance access. The applicants indicated the sculptures will mount on concrete pads with surrounding landscape beds to protect the pieces from mowing and provide a safe buffer.

Staff recommended the commission's recommendation be contingent on Recreation & Parks review and approval of pad and footer details. Commissioners agreed and voted to recommend the pieces subject to parks' sign-off and submission of revised site plans showing concrete pads and footings.

Next steps: Artists and organizers will supply final foundation drawings and site plans for coordination with Parks; staff will administratively finalize COAs once Parks has approved site and safety details.
