sculpture.

declined because not fully seeing the work from the provided photographs.

person to better understand scale and all vantage points.

• The preliminary AIR Committee met a couple weeks ago led by Lindsea.
• Greg discusses the budget for the AIR Program which needs to be sustained.
He explains if there was a construction gap the AIPP budget could potentially be
used.
