The motion passed unanimously. 4. Unfinished Business: Riverton Creek Restoration Project — Update from artist Sarah Kavage. The Riverton project is shutting down for the winter at the end of October, and they are not going to get to a point where Sarah will be able to do any of the work she had planned. The project will resume next summer, however with other obligations, Sarah is looking at how she can complete the project moving forward. The people that she has been working with are excited to continue this project next summer. It would likely be an intense 2 -3 -week project (if Sarah can make it work with her schedule). Sarah asked if there were other ideas or approaches for getting this done that they would want to offer up? Pinky asked when they will be able to restart the project next year? Probably late June or early July, then the water work in August. Could you pass the torch to another artist (that is thoroughly vetted)? This may involve additional costs. The funds that the Arts Commission was going to allocate for the videographer will need to be moved to 2021. b. Ignition NW Art Installations — Pinky Estell has been working with the Ignition NW team to come up with some options for art installations in Tukwila Parks. What are some examples of art that might be currently available for installation immediately (but would be durable for the fall/winter weather)? Pinky, Shawn, and Tracy will coordinate a time for a park tour to determine the best locations for installations (in coordination with the Park maintenance staff).
