Mr. Szwarocky's estimate is approximately $3,500, but could be higher since he asked that his living expenses in Laguna Beach, California be covered. Each member received bids, submitted by five businesses, concerning the "Glendale Pioneers, 191011 repair. The members will review the bids and will discuss at their November meeting. Mr. Szwarocky brought his sketch from Glendale Pioneers and asked of the Commission would be interested in purchasing it. Discussion was held on exhibiting the sketch for a one-year period, in the Municipal Office Complex with a notice that it was for sale by the artist. The cost of the sketch is $5,000. The Commission discussed that the City, or the Commission, could not be an agent for an artist and declined the offer. Mr. Szwarocky will be notified. Post Card Progress Report Mrs. Crowell reported on information gathered concerning post cards. SEE THE ATTACHED REPORT. Several other items associated with cards, such as storage, distribution, accounting and inventory of the cards, were also discussed. A motion was made by Mrs. Crowell to postpone the printing post cards until further market research could be done. Mr. Page seconded the motion, and it passed unanimously. Mrs. Sands will contact Robert McCall to notify him about our decision. Barbara Woolston Barbara Woolston, 5301 W. Pugit, Glendale, AZ 85302, 937-8708, gave a report on her art work. Mrs. Woolston is originally from Wisconsin, but has lived in Glendale for 10 years. She is a self-taught artist. Her painting style is considered "naive art." The prices of her art work, unframed, are: for 1611 x 2011 for $75, and 2411 x 3011 for $250. Foothills Public Safety Building Doug Sexton, from V.S.L.A. reviewed the proposed site for a sundial at the Foothills Public Safety Building. The location is approximately 751 x 801. The sundial, or the outdoor sculpture, could be any medium. There are some concerns that the site has a northern exposure, while a southern exposure may be better for a sundial. The budget for the project is $15,000. Mr. Sexton will do research on sundials and outdoor sculpture, plus on the installation and will attend a future Arts Commission meeting. New Business "Arizona Promise," by Robert McCall, has been moved into the Council Chambers for better exposure to the public. The four paintings, purchased at the Festival of the Arts, will be hung in the following locations: "Primary Interplay," by Shirley Klein Kleppe, will be displayed at the Foothills Public Safety Building.

A poster and post cards, donated by the Hall of Fame, will also be exhibited at the Foothills Public Safety Building.
