After all of the publicity, negative and positive, he was contacted by John Tushman. Mr. Tushman, who brought a Merrill to the Council about a year ago, called and said that he wanted to let us know that since the Town of Avon is so interested in art and is fighting so hard for funds to buy art that he is willing to offer this piece to the Town of Avon Recreation Center again. Councilor Carnes showed a picture of the piece of art to everyone. He then asked the Director of Recreation, Meryl Jacobs if she could refresh everyone's memory about why it was turned down. Carnes noted that Mr. Tushman would like to offer it again before he ships it back down to Houston in a few of weeks. Director of Recreation, Meryl Jacobs stated that, from what she remembers, this piece was not something that all of the council agreed was a good piece of art for the Recreation Center. It was also in Texas and the town was going to have to pay to bring it to Avon. Town Manager, Bill Efting mentioned that the maintenance of this art was also a concern. Councilor Carnes also reiterated that this is a gift that is being offered and it is not just a loan, there would therefore be no cost involved except the cost of putting it up. Councilor Richard Carnes stated that the piece was now in Colorado and we wouldn't have to pay for the shipping. Mayor Protem Judy Yoder stated that the piece was also refused because of the fact that it was a pastel painting and that type of work took a lot of maintenance. Mayor Jack Fawcett suggested that it be passed on to the Avon arts council and all agreed.
