Staff introduced Joseph Gutierrez from Architectural Alliance, representing the Museum
Foundation, who provided an informational presentation to the Board regarding the
proposed Museum expansion.
After the presentation, the Board expressed their concern regarding the limited
information provided and felt that they were unable to comment on the proposal at this
time. Chair Blake requested that this item be continued to the Special Meeting
scheduled on May 12, 2010. Chair Blake requested that Mr. Gutierrez provide the Board
with additional information and copies of his presentation prior to the next meeting so

the limited information on how the addition may impact the existing structure is still
concerning to the Board.
