Re: Comment for ACC Gateway Recommendation
I was looking forward to attending this evening’s Council meeting. Unfortunately, I have a
commitment that I’m not able to reschedule and so this late desk item submission will have to
do.
I’d like to congratulate my fellow commissioners, our Mayor and Town Council members, Town
Staff, and especially the Parks and Public Works Team and Ryan Baker, Library Director and
assigned Town staff member to the Arts and Culture Commission (ACC).
It’s closing in on 2 years since the ACC, with the support and well wishes of the Town Council,
embarked on this exciting project to commission a new public art work for our Town. Being a
part of this project has been an honor. I have the utmost respect for my fellow commissioners
who have worked diligently and enthusiastically throughout the process. And to be presenting
the results and recommendations of our effort is indeed a proud moment. I fully support the
Commission’s recommendation to select the “El Gato” Gateway Public Art design submitted by
artist Matt Babcock, for your review and consideration.
Most sincerely,
Maureen Cappon-Javey
Vice-Chair, Arts and Culture Commission
