· Add 2004 “Happy Travelers” and donation of photo collection “Birth of a Paradise”

· Include in 2007 “decorative tiles made by children of Marco”
· Include in 2009 that public informational kiosks are identified and installed and include distribution by Chamber of Commerce, art organizations, hotels, etc.
· Include in 2017 that City should sponsor an art event
Greg Glover suggested charging a fee for businesses every year. The wording adding a nominal fee for public arts when residential, commercial and multi-families apply for a new business license or residential permit will be added.
Jo-Ann Sanborn suggested a plan to show how the money could be spent for public art.
Greg Glover suggested a $1.00 or $2.00 fee from tourism tax dollars and contacting the Tourist Development Council in Collier County.
