Discussion
Mr. James Manzelmann Jr., an architect from Benham Group gave
a presentation on the Headquarters Public Safety Building. The
building will be located on Glendale Ave. to Lamar between 57
Ave. and 57 Drive. At this time there will be a Fire and
Police Administration Building and a Courts Building. The Fire
and Police Administration Building will be two stories and
75,000 square feet. The Courts Building will be one story. A
parking structure will also be located on the grounds. All
buildings will face into a central courtyard. Several ideas
were discussed for public art, they were a weather vane to be
placed on top of the elevator tower to the parking structure, a
sculpture in the courtyard, a mosaic on the elevator tower, and
stained glass. The possible locations for public art were the
two lobby areas, the elevator tower, and the courtyard. The
commission was asked to keep in mind the function of the
facility and its customers.
The architect will be invited to the January meeting to discuss
the elevations.
The Southwest Conservation and the Woodman will be invited to
give further proposals on the "Glendale Pioneers" bas relief
repair. Both companies stated a definite bid could not be
given without viewing the bas relief from the back.
Arrangements will be made to remove the bas relief from the
wall and to invite both companies to give more detail bids.
It has been requested that the ordinance revision include a
statement that "various arts will be encouraged" by the Arts
Commission. The possibility of increasing the .05% to a full
percent was also mentioned. The ordinance revision will not be
scheduled for council approval until further notice.
There will not be a December arts commission meeting. The next
meeting will be Wednesday, January 18, 1989 at 3:00 p.m.
