In 2008, FOG <br />began a fundraising project to provide an art element for the recently renovated play <br />yard. FOG and City Staff identified the water trough, an existing section of the play <br />yard, as an excellent potential site for a unique mosaic wall. Ceramic Artist Susan <br />Dannenfelser was selected and prepared a design concept which was approved by <br />FOB and City Staff. The installation of the mosaic wall is planned for late August, 2010. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />That Council reviews the design images created by Susan Dannenfelser and approve <br />the proposed gift of Public Art for the Gingerbread Preschool play yard. <br />FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br />There is no fiscal impact to the City. The donation of this public art piece is valued at <br />approximately $13,000, and funds have been raised and allocated by the members of <br />FOG. <br />
