Motion was made by Board Member Kent to approve the PAAB Minutes from April 13, 2026 and was seconded by Co-Chair Lilli Schipper. Motion passed 5-0. III. ACTION ITEMS a) Buoy Program Framework Approval Dr. Linda Flynn reviewed this item which was a new public art initiative to change the City’s navigational and decorative buoys into artist-designed landmarks. The Staff Report for this agenda item was in the board packet. Dr. Flynn went over things like eligibility, streamlining the application process, etc. The Mayor was answered that the artists would be from the State of Florida. Dr. Flynn spoke about vinyl wraps but also keeping the option for artist direct paint. Mayor Davis spoke about the City owning the original artwork on the vinyl wraps and Dr. Flynn explained that the artist would always keep the copyright. The Call To Artists could be in June with an application deadline in July. Budgets, locations of the buoys, gateways were discussed. Board Member (BM) Aptakin volunteered to donate the production of the buoy to the City and only material would need to be supplied. Motion was made by Co-Chair Schipper to recommend approval of the Buoy Beacon Program and was seconded by BM Kent. Motion passed 5-0. b) Let Love Guide The Way Conservation Plan Review i) Chad Shores, Conservationist attending virtually Dr. Linda Flynn reviewed the Conservation Plan starting with the background for Let Love Guide The Way. The Staff Report was in the Board Packet which depicted three maintenance and price quotes. She asked Chad Shores to go over the two different conservation approaches (Option A-$21,480 and Option B-$27,210). Dr. Flynn felt that for the price difference, the City should go with Option B - Full Off-Site Restoration. Chair Sharaby wanted to know what the guarantee was for off-site and was answered five year warranty by Mr. Shores. Mayor Davis asked about the maintenance plan and both Mr. Shores and Dr. Flynn explained. BM Kent inquired about removing all the paint and that every component would be brand new. Mr. Shores explained about the present corrosion and spoke about it not corroding again. Dr. Flynn answered BM Aptakin that she wasn’t quite sure when the piece was created – maybe Public Art Advisory Board Meeting - Minutes 2 May 18, 2026 around 2018. BM Aptakin asked if the price of the conservation could change and Mr. Shores spoke about the 20% contingency in the quote. Mayor Davis wanted to know if the corrosion could have been prevented when the piece was first installed. Dr. Flynn reminded that the City did not take ownership of this piece until 2023. Before that, maintenance was not the City’s responsibility. Mr. Shores addressed the corrosion and also the weather/environment. Chair Sharaby inquired about the new coating system to protect the piece and was answered by Mr. Shores. BM Pollesch asked if it would still be a problem and Mr. Shores explained. Co-Chair Schipper asked what was missed/what was the oversight? Dr. Flynn went over the timeline from when the piece was on loan, when it was purchased by the City, and when the PAAB was established. Dr. Flynn spoke about protecting the investment of the City’s Public Art Program. Co-Chair Schipper wanted to understand if a piece that was depreciated, should it be maintained. City Attorney Boutsis explained that the artist had the right to protect the reputation of his piece that was now owned by the City. The City had the do something to maintain it and protect it, as the artist could sue the City. Director Norena reminded about less funds going into the Public Art Fund this year. She wanted to know if it would be detrimental to wait a year before this maintenance would be done. Dr. Flynn said that $30,000 was put aside for maintenance this year. BM Kent asked about removing the piece maybe for hurricane season. BM Aptakin asked if there was a structural concern with the piece regarding safety. Mr. Shores was not qualified to answer this and felt a lot of the corrosion was just superficial. Discussion ensued. Mayor Davis wanted to ensure that in doing the maintenance, we were not putting ourselves in the same position five years from now with this piece. Timelines were discussed like doing this project off-site during hurricane season. It should take about two months to do the maintenance of the piece. The Mayor said it was the first public art piece in the Arts Park and it was quite beautiful. We need to maintain it. Mr. Shores reminded that as a professional art conservator, he had a professional obligation to involve the artist. He would rely on the artist’s knowledge of his piece. Director Norena reminded that public art funding has slowed down due to the slowdown in development. Maybe think of funding this in the 2027 budget as we need funding for other projects that were coming out in 2026. Think about approving this project in 2026 but not to start working on it until the next fiscal year. Mayor Davis asked about the maintenance budget and if we were expecting to use some of the maintenance budget for some of the other projects. Director Norena spoke about the budget regarding spending and what we expected to collect. She wanted to give all the facts about revenue coming in and how much would be spent annually, etc. Deputy Director Lajoie clarified that logistically it could work, if the motion to recommend to the City Commission to approve the maintenance on this project with funding from the next fiscal year. Motion was made by Board Member Pollesch to recommend approval to the City Commission of Option B for the off-site full restoration ($27,210) with a start date of October 1, 2026 for Let Love Guide The Way and was seconded by Board Member Aptakin. Motion passed 5-0. IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS a) USCM America 250 City Art Project (2026) Temporary Mural at 401 Stirling Road: Additional Usage of Poster Image The building (401 Stirling Road) would be wrapped with one image. V. ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATES (For the record, these items were not heard in the order of the agenda.) a) Board Members current and new updates The board members leaving were thanked for their service, expertise, knowledge, etc. The Mayor was answered that board members were allowed to reapply, if their term expired.

New board members would be present June 15, 2026. b) Summer Meetings Director Norena suggested waiting until the June 15, 2026 meeting when existing and new members would be present.
