Anna Talarico mentioned that a memorandum of understanding (MOU) will likely need to 
be added to the agreements with the artists. Both Lela Brunet and Aysha Pennerman 
have agreed to touch up their murals and allow Smyrna Public Works to apply the topcoat. 
  
Richard Garland recommended that the committee not commission new crosswalk murals 
until the current murals are repaired.   
 
 C. 2025-024 Public Art Work Plan 
 
Richard Garland suggested adopting a Public Art Master Plan. Anna Talarico stated that 
typically, master plans take about nine months, with half of that time spent on community 
engagement. For Smyrna, the timeline would be about 4-6 months, because she has 
already begun working in Smyrna. The committee agreed that a Public Art Master Plan 
should be pursued.   
 
Committee Member Robert Harrison made a motion to approve pursuing a Public Art 
Master Plan; seconded by Committee Member Burke Scott. 
 
The motion to approve carried with the following vote: 
 
Aye: 4 –  Chairperson Oglesby, Committee Member Harrison, Committee 
Member Rhome, Committee Member Scott 
Nay: 0 –  None 
Absent: 3 –  Committee Member Foote, Committee Member Styf, Committee 
Member Thomas 
 
 D. 2025-026 Upcoming Meeting Dates 
 
Carson Haynie asked if the committee wanted to continue meeting on the 4th Friday of 
each month, and the committee agreed to the same schedule. Chairperson Oglesby, 
however, has a conflict with the April meeting date, so it was moved back one week. The 
upcoming meeting dates are scheduled for: 
  
• Friday, February 28, 2025 
• Friday, March 28, 2025 
• Friday, May 2, 2025 
• All meetings will be from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM.
