To Whom It May Concern:
The City of Fort Bragg seeks to facilitate non-traditional, non-commercial public art projects that engage the local community. So while the City of Fort Bragg neither endorses, nor refutes, any expression - verbal or visual - made by the Larry Spring Museum, its agents, or the public, as part of the "Redwood Time" project, the City intends to grant permission to pull a paper cast from the large Redwood Round in front of the Guest House Museum.
Projects like this provide an opportunity for community engagement with diverse groups and improved understanding and relationship building with the rich historic and cultural vitality of the place we live. This project’s mission is consistent with many policies in the City’s General Plan including increasing public awareness and appreciation of the City’s cultural and historic resources and supporting public art by encouraging the provision for a variety of art in public spaces and parks.
The City plans to support the project through providing meeting facilities and permits at no charge and by granting access to the Redwood Round so long as Larry Spring Museum, its agents and participants, demonstrate there will be no long-term impact to the round as part of the paper-casting process.
We appreciate the opportunity to support the Larry Spring Museums request for funding and thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Bernie Norvell Jason Godeke
