Committee signs up a representative for city's adopt‑a‑spot subcommittee; recruitment for public art seats remains open

The committee reviewed a city request to appoint one representative from each advisory body to a beautification subcommittee to develop an "adopt‑a‑spot" program. Council Member Kern has promoted the idea to coordinate planting, weed removal and other improvements on city‑owned parcels.

Committee member Camille Salmon confirmed she would serve as the committee's representative. Management analyst Molly Brown described the subcommittee as ad hoc and said the initial meeting would be to gather stakeholders and develop the program concept; further meetings would be scheduled only as needed.

Committee members raised outreach concerns: some advisory members said they had not received notices on their personal email and asked staff to ensure recruitment notices and meeting announcements are posted on the public sign board and widely communicated. Molly Brown confirmed recruitment for up to three open public art advisory seats is active through June 12 and staff agreed to re‑issue notices via multiple channels.

No formal vote was taken; the committee agreed to the representative and to improved outreach for recruitment.
