Borello,a Portland-based artist and educator,has been selected by the city of Tigard to design two large public art pieces along Pacific Highway at each Southwest Main Street intersection. "I know it will be a lot of work,but I am looking forward to it,"Borello said from his studio in North Portland. The art is meant to catch the attention of passing motorists,as well as be engaging to pedestrians walking in the area,and invite people to explore Main Street. It's part of a series of projects aimed at revitalizing the long struggling Portland artist Brian Borello will install two large downtown. public art pieces along Pacific Highway at Main In November,the city commissioned the$6o,000 public art project to Street. spruce things up near the downtown core. Sean Farrelly,the city s downtown redevelopment director,said that of the 6o applicants from across the West Coast who applied to take on the art project,Borello's exuberance stood out from the rest. "He has a real passion for public art,"Farrelly said."He engages with the community and creates something that reflects the community and its values." It's too early to say with any certainty what the art pieces will look like, Borello said.However,he likes to bring hidden aspects of the area's history or culture to life through his art. "Every project has its own special qualities,and this one has its own,too,"Borello said."I generally try to look for bringing up some of the unseen—sometimes the unknown qualities of the history and people and culture of a place—and try to put some daylight on that." Borello isn't a stranger to public art projects in the Portland area.Borello designed the large flowerig fixtures at the Lents Town Center MAX station,as well as MAX stations near the Rose Garden. For his Lents Hybrids piece at the Lents Town Center,Borello created tall green and yellow flower-like sculptures, which he said reflected the long native grasses that once grew in the area. Borello said he wants to get community feedback on the designs and will work with the community and business leaders in the area as he dreams up his creative plans for Tigard. "I enjoy bringing the community along for the ride and sharing the creative process,"he said."Everyone is an artist in their own way.We all just share it in different ways." The art will be in conjunction with two large gateway signs,similar to one on Southwest Burnham Street and Hall Boulevard. Borello has a lot to achieve with his designs.City leaders said the pieces should reflect the downtown core as a "vibrant and active urban village at the heart of the community that is pedestrian-oriented,accessible by many modes of transportation,recognizes and uses natural resources as an asset and features a combination of uses that enable people to live,work,play and shop in an environment that is uniquely Tigard." "It's this little oasis of downtown,that's what I'll be working with as I develop my ideas,"Borello said."This idea that you have arrived at something significant and special. "It's a major transportation corridor,that transitions from a really high-use,high-automotive transit corridor to something more pedestrian scaled and more at a walking,slower speed.The design can hopefully augment the experience of getting out of your car and being in a mainstrect USA." 01/09/13 CCAC Meeting Summary Attachment 1 (2 s/s pgs) http://portlandtribune.com/ttt/89-news/125599-downtown-art-protects-land-sculptor?tmpl=... 1/17/2013 Portland Tribune and Community Newspapers - Downtown art projects land sculptor Page 2 of 2 Borello and city officials will meet in early January to discuss the project. Final designs aren't likely until sometime in the spring,Farrelly said.

For example,it may be possible to obtain private financial institutions to fund major projects and activities. However, this depends on available increment revenues and policy decisions by the CODA. Alternately,the CODA may continue to borrow against other City's funds. The available increment is projected to remain flat at approximately$330,000. At the November meeting, the CCAC ranked Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects. Many of the CIP projects have funding sources in additional to urban renewal funds. At the January meeting,the CCAC will be asked to indicate their priorities for the non-CIP projects in the CCDA budget. These priorities will inform the budget proposal that will be submitted by the Executive Director of the CCDA (the City Manager). Further recommendations for the CCDA budget can be made at the CCDA Budget Committee meetings which will occur in the spring. The following tables show potential (non-CIP projects for FY 2013-14 as well as the budget information for the present fiscal year. 01/09/13 CCAC Meeting Summary Attachment 2 (3 s/s pgs) 1.
