5. OLD BUSINESS: None.
6. NEW BUSINESS:
The Board discussed the possibility of requiring developers to create, place, or provide
money for art in public places, which the City does not currently have a provision in place
for. Board members and Mr. Wasson will research other municipalities that may have
such a requirement in their Codes such as Sunny Isles Beach, Miami, Miami Beach, and
Miami -Dade County, for discussion at the next meeting.
The recent artwork by Romero Britto, at the Aventura City of Excellence School (ACES),
was discussed. Mr. Wasson explained the process for the implementation of that exterior
art and reported on plans to hopefully provide something at the Don Soffer Aventura High
School (DSAHS). The Board requested that they be notified of future art projects within
the City.
