Animal Services Center Public Art Project <br />The Board considered a proposal from the Orange County Arts Commission to purchase <br />two steel dog sculptures {$2,800 each) with money allocated from the Fiscal Year 2006-07 CIP, <br />from Carrboro artist Mike Roig {to be temporarily located at various Orange County-awned <br />properties until they are installed at the to-be-constructed Animal Services Center). <br />Gordon Jamison made this presentation. He is on the Arts Commission. He said that as <br />a project last year, the Arts Commission started buying art for County offices. In that call for <br />artists, there were two dog sculptures and they thought the new animal shelter would be a good <br />place to put these. The plan is to put the sculptures behind the Old Courthouse first. The <br />sculptures will travel around the County until the Animal Services Center is built. The sculptures <br />are being paid far with existing funds. <br />
