Bicentennial Park Art Review, Kris Kelly & Pat Brodin: Pat Brodin, Public Works <br />Operations Manager, attended the meeting to share concepts for artwork <br />installation at the Bicentennial Park cabin. Currently, the cabin does not have <br />windows or a door, due to safety reasons. The cabin is often used by homeless <br />people and has also been repeatedly vandalized. In an effort to continue to improve <br />safety in the park, Kris Kelly approached Pat Brodin to discuss installing artwork in <br />the windows and the door, similar to what he provided at Duwamish Gardens prior <br />to the demolition of the houses at that site. Pat provided a few concepts to the Arts <br />Commission, focusing primarily on silhouettes pioneers that may have used a <br />similar cabin in the area during the late 1800's. The Arts Commission agreed that <br />installing artwork at the cabin is a good idea and appreciated Mr. Brodin's concepts. <br />b. Regional Fire Authority Presentation: Moira Bradshaw, Senior Planner and Chris <br />Flores, Interim Fire Chief attended the meeting to present information about the <br />Kent Regional Fire Authority and the research a City committee has put together <br />regarding joining the KRFA. The City Council will be making a decision in the near <br />future to determine if the joining the KRFA should be on the election ballot in 2016. <br />The Commission asked several questions and was appreciative of the presentation. <br />c.
