“Thank you. All right, and that is, our item H4 is approved, 6-0. With that, we do have a couple of work session items, and so we'll probably go ahead and tackle the work session before some of the executive sessions so we can get staff home, but we'll see you in work session. All right, we're back. Our projector has not turned on in work session, so we're going to be replacing that light bulb and starting our work session out here. So item D2, I think Sarah and her team have a presentation to discuss possible unified development code amendments related to fencing. Not the sport, I presume.”

“Yeah, I think I'm kind of where the mayor pro tem's at, and what he said there, and maybe pick the most common ones that are creating issues, I mean, you're right, Shannon, I always go back to the, like, if the fence has been there for 40 years, and has caused no harm, it's probably okay for the fence to be there another 40 years type situation, and so if we can As you said, Sarah, continue to hold new development to a high standard and find ways to make our code a little bit more resident-focused for existing neighborhoods. I think that's smart. The only thing I would tell you is I wouldn't…”

“Thanks, Jordan. Well, anyone that's seen me comment over the years on public art knows that it's usually a foot and mouth moment almost every time. So just to start, are the sculptures permanent? Is that the idea?”

“Okay. Can't get cattle egrets out of my brain when I look at that. So I'll just be really straightforward. I love the idea of the sculpture. I'm just one of six here tonight. So if we have a foot-in-mouth moment, then they can clean up whatever I said. But I'll be honest with you. I would love to see something a little bit more like Keller-centric in terms of, because we only have two roundabouts, right? Three? Where's the third? This will be the third. Oh, so this is for the new one. Got it. Yes. So I was looking at Johnson.”

“All right. Perfect. Yeah, it would be really cool to see something that has a little bit more of a Keller connection. That's just my immediate, like, instinctual feedback. there's some things that, you know, tie into this town, whether it's the water tower, the railroad, Samantha Springs. I mean, there's just things that, you know, when I look at these sculptures, I don't know, was that a consideration or a factor that was really weighed?”

“I wonder, just a thought, if we kind of blend the ideas being discussed, I wonder if we go with the, seems like the design and aesthetic of the public arts board recommendation is, I mean, I agree with Councilman Brennan out of the options, I wonder if we go to that artist and say, hey, could you kind of come up with some ideas that, not just Keller, but Councilman Rankley's point, are also very Texan in nature. That could be pretty cool, and maybe have them do just a small handful of mock-ups. That's such a broad way to describe it. You could do like a... kind of a ranching theme. You could…”

“Awesome. So, you know. As Councilman Rankley stated, we don't want a tree. Maybe as I was trying to explain at commission, a couple of just concepts. I don't want them to toil away for just tons of time, but just if they have some easy to understand, easy to mock up concepts that incorporate Texan or Keller themes as well, then that would kind of give us probably a small handful of options to choose from, and maybe we end up going with the dandelions.”
