ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
Centennial Creek Hike and Bike Trail Extension has been identified as a priority segment of the planned trail system and is a key component to meeting goals established in the Lewisville 2025 Big Move - Extending the Green and the Healthy Infrastructure Plan. This Project was presented to Council on the FY24/25 Public Art Work Plan. Funding is available from a combination of the Public Art CIP and the Centennial (Timber Creek) Trail CIP. A call for qualified artists was put out on Aug. 16, 2024. A review committee consisting of members of the Arts Advisory Board, the Parks Board, and staff reviewed 24 artist applications and conducted a series of evaluations and interviews that culminated with the selection of artist Gigi Griffin Miller, of FrogTree Studios, LCC, to complete the project.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the agreement and authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to sign the agreement as set forth in the caption above.
