Chair Stallman asked how the recording would be edited into the PowerPoint presentation.  Councilor Jensen explained they would use individual sound bites for the presentation.  He thought the Commission could undertake some of that work themselves.  Commissioner Friend suggested Chair Stallman and Tom Fuhrmark edit the sound clips.  She thought that portion of the project should be completed by commissioner members. 
 
Mr. Anderson addressed how the artist selection for the MAP project would be handled.  The meeting would be noticed and conducted via Zoom.  He would start the meeting then hand off the controls to the Sub Committee.  Chair Stallman added one of the reasons the MAP Sub Committee had not met sooner was due to City resources being available for the meetings. 
 
Councilor Jenson would follow up with the sound people for the voiceover regarding the delay.
