For judges, we have received <br />three positive responses and one negative. Our consultant will <br />also be there. <br />Because of the large number of young artist - sculptors who will <br />enter the competition, the committee is also recommending that <br />three additional design awards of $250.00 each be given to <br />encourage the beginner sculptors, whose portfolio and expertise <br />will not be judged worthy of one of the winning commissions. <br />Subje t to Redevelopment Commissioners approval, the Sculpture <br />Commi tee hereby requests that these monies come out of the <br />Admin- stration Overage Fund to reward the young artists -- the <br />overa a fund of $9,000 left out of the original $30,000 Com- <br />missi n entertained for the total award. <br />Mr. Lannon requested the Commissioners hold January 24, 1974 <br />open For at least a portion of the day.
