Staff reminded the Board of Ms. Bonham's art samples submitted when the artist selection begin.
They were also reminded of how the Board and Staff expressed to Ms. Bonham that a mural is
what was wanted for the main lobby. Staff advised the Board that a meeting recently took place
with Ms. Bonham and although Ms. Bonham initially indicated a willingness to paint a mural in
the main lobby of DPS HQ; she no longer has the time or interest in painting a mural. Ms.

settlement with Ms. Bonham for her work thus far and begin the bid process for a new artist to
paint a mural. Discussion took place.
A motion was made to seek a settlement with Ms. Bonham for her work thus far and
to begin obtaining new bids for a new artist to paint a mural.
