I. Review and discussion of minutes
February 19, 2003 minutes were approved.
I. Presentations
MIAMI BEACH GOLF COURSE - SKY LINE PROJECT:
Rene Gonzalez presented an update of his findings with regard to feasibility and funding.
The foundation would be a "surface drop" system; the panels would be folded; the number of modular
panels/concrete columns may be reduced; the curtain of water feature would be eliminated; however,
lighting would be re-directed from between the stainless steel mirrored panels downward to the surface
of the lake - illuminated the entire lake and reflecting back on the panels - a very subtle glowing effect
which would turn the surface of the lake itself into the water feature. Even with the suggested
revisions, the Artist believes the project may go over budget $20-50,000.
ACTION: Artist to return with actual figures to complete project as originally presented, as well as
realistic figures to revise the project as suggested. AiPP to revisit fundraising options with Meridian
Loft developer. Yolanda and Jim to assist with fundraising/project presentation efforts.

monumental Britto sculpture to be sited at Lincoln Road or the Jackie Gleason. AiPP provided copy of

II. Presentations
MB GOLF COURSE - SKY UNE update
The project funding history reflects that at the time of drafting the Call to Artists, the appropriation from the golf
course was approximately $34,000 so to increase funding, AiPP earmarked appropriations from Flamingo Park
and Scott Rakow project. In order to reach a project goal of $100,000, private sector contributions would be
needed and letters from the Mayor and the City Manager to the Flagler Holding Group (Meridian lofts), Publix,
the Holocaust Memorial and the Chamber of Commerce were to no avail. Therefore, the project budget remains
as stated in the Call to Artists, "up to $100,000."
Rene Gonzalez has had discussions wlcity structural & electrical engineers and identified the most cost effective
foundation system and is hopeful that AiPP (Jim & Yolanda) may be able to raise additional funds. Project
revisions recommended - vertical columns and less floor pads. He will return in May.
SOUTH FLORIDA LAND MINE ACTION GROUP
Mission to create awareness of land mines in Central and S America; every 32 minutes there is a blow up
and children are the main victims. land mines cost $3.50 to purchase (cheaper than barbed wire) but $300
to be removed. Paul Macartney is an advocate of land mine awareness, and it is one of Colin Powell's
personal projects. AiPP/N Beach is considering a commemorative event to celebrate the Beatles visit 40
years ago. Beatles Mandala presentation could aid in fundraising as part of celebration of project unveiling
(mandala banners, etc.). Permission from city may be required. JC was appointed liaison for this project.
