Minutes note: Milwaukee.gov/PAIR
Art Car Update:
Ms. Svetic shared the screen showing some photos about the art car update.
Sarah said that there is a lot of progress carving the cones with buildings that are representative all over the city, the skyline, homes and messaging too. She said that she will have a conversation about getting a discount for perforated steel (component of the fabrication), that they will be attaching the cones to the front dome geometrically and that she does not know yet what to do with the back pod or the hole in the back. Sarah also acknowledged that her family and friends have been helping with carving and with the electrical component.
Ms. Svetic said that she is figuring out what capability of the Fleet Services is for the next weeks as for skills and time due the ice/snow control operations. She added that the next step is to have the perforated steel wrapped around the vehicle to get everything assembled from there. She also said that the intention is to have the vehicle ready for April 14th (414 Day) but nothing has been finalized yet.
Ms. Svetic also said that once the art car is ready, Vision Zero will take ownership of the vehicle for certain amount of time (not determined yet), that the truck itself will be returned to the Fleet Services to have all the design moved to a different vehicle as a part of the City's art collection. She also said that there are technical aspects still to hammer out and that Jessica's Vizion Zero team are the experts to share the messaging around.
Answering Mr. Murphy's question, Sarah said that the interview with Milwaukee Magazine happened and that it will be published in March. She added that Jessica and Sally were involved as well.
Eyes Project:
Ms. Svetic said that it is proving to be a bureaucratic process to hang the eyes around but that Angie is working with DPW to figure what the permitting process is and talking about installing them as a group instead individually.
Sarah has pros and cons on each side there.
Ms. Svetic said that she sees the potential to have a greater impact installing the eyes as a group.
Sarah said that she is hoping to have them individually either by putting them on parking signs for example.
Ms. Morris suggested that a compilation of the eyes in t-shirts is another way to get them on the ground.
Sarah said that she is also considering to put them on top of retro reflective material on the cone pieces everywhere in the neighborhoods; just as a reminder that someone is present/watching. | | | |

| | 4. | | New Business
Minutes note: Ms. Svetic reported that Cassandra Brooks is not looking for any funding at this point. She said that she just wanted the Board to be aware of the project, that she knows they are working with Vanguard and that she will bring updates when she gets back in touch with Ms. Brooks. She also mentioned that the idea is to have a casted bronze statue of her father and a concrete podium.
Ms. Morris said that the other piece of the new business is the future of the PAIR program and that it must be discussed at the next meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 3:59 pm
