Board meets on site at the Vail Village Transportation Center to discuss landscaping and placement of the sculptures being donated by the Logan collection. • The Board thinks the central planter where the Middlebrook (birdhouse sculpture) is being placed is especially tired, overgrown, and this is a great opportunity to clean up the area. • They do not want the plantings to compete with the art, but rather compliment it. They note many of the areas where the bed is overgrown, and branches of the existing trees are growing into the lampposts and into the stair area. • They think the large boulder in the front should be relocated and determine the balance of the artwork within the site. • They would like to hear from Hannah Sorrenson (lead of Vail flower crew) as to what she might suggest for plant materials given her knowledge of blooming cycles. 10. Meeting adjourned.
