DISCUSSION ITEMS

Harrison Field Design Charette-

Akhil Badjatia and Margaret Murphy spoke concerning AIA’s part in the charette.  Bruce

motioned that $5,000 from the EOCAIA be donated to the Smokey Hollow design

charette, second by Joe Makosky.  Joe motioned that $8,000 be transferred from

investment to checking account for Smokey Hollow and Grassroots.  The AIA members

will submit proposals for the design.  When a design is chosen, the members will form a

team and act as project managers to the project.  AIA will work in conjunction with the

Wick Neighbors.  There is a community meeting scheduled for February 18 at the Butler

American Institute of Art from 4-6pm.

 

The annual scholarship to an architecture student was voted against because of AIA State sponsored scholarship availability and the contribution we will be making towards the Smokey Hollow charette.
