Conditions/Maintenance Report & Recommendations from Lynn Verschoor 1) Lot Lines (Scott Wallace): Lynn Verschoor thought needed to get the piece lightly sanded and possibly bring to car painting shop place to get repainted.

Possibly City could haul to his shop. Piece completed 23 years ago. Lead paint on the 1st layer but none lead on the others. Look into creating a more stable foundation. Chair Darla Biel would like to see a quote on the projected fees associated with the maintenance/repair. 2) Blind Man II: The Chase (Allan Fisher): Needs some repairs and a new sign.

Rebar is exposed but not a safety thing but will catch moisture. Artist was vague on what to do. Lynn Verschoor will be getting more details on how to proceed from artist. Artist is out of state. C.
