Colossal Cave Mountain Park Performance Audit
Executive Summary of the Colossal Cave Mountain Park Performance Audit for the Government of Pima County, Arizona Audit Committee Members Jon Baker - Committee Chair, Wally Armer, Dr. Deborah Colodner, Dr. Randy Gimblett, Shela McFarlin, Joe Yarchin, Gale Bundrick, Tim Vimmerstedt November 18th 2014 P a g e | ii Performance Audit Committee’s Conclusion “Colossal Cave Mountain Park is at a crossroads but we find it has tremendous potential. Realizing that potential will take significant investment to stabilize and repair its infrastructure, find an operator with vision and backing, and publicize the new approach and features to the public. We believe the investment is worthwhile and that it will produce significant long term benefits for both the park and Pima County. However, if we defer investing in Colossal Cave Mountain Park now, the costs to re- open or repair will only increase over time.” All images in this report are from the “Wild Cave Tour” at Colossal Cave Mountain Park – Courtesy of Pima County Communications Office & Colossal Cave Mountain Park Staff Executive Summary of the Colossal Cave Mountain Park Performance Audit I.

Allison R. Gerth Master of Landscape
CREATIVE PLAY: INTEGRATING ART INTO PLAYGROUNDS A TYPOLOGY BY ALLISON R. GERTH A REPORT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULLFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE DEPARTMENT OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE/ REGIONAL & COMMUNITY PLANNING COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE, PLANNING, & DESIGN KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY MANHATTAN, KANSAS 2011 APPROVED BY: MAJOR PROFESSOR KATIE KINGERY-PAGE COPYRIGHT ALLISON R. GERTH 2011 ABSTRACT Children are imaginative, creative, and active. Children of all age groups are influenced by their surroundings, particularly school-aged children (Frost, 2010). School-aged children’s physical, emotional, social, and intellectual developmental characteristics are influenced by their surrounding environments. Today, uniform playgrounds are diminishing the opportunities for youth to develop their personal creativity and imagination through play (Thompson 2007, Solomon 2005). By integrating art into playgrounds, these environments will offer children greater opportunity for developmental enrichment through their interactions with the site. Researched cases of art and play have inspired the development of a typology. The typology is a collection of quintessential ways that settings for play can be visually and experientially enriched by art. This process began with three critical questions; 1) What constitutes a playground? 2) What is art? and 3) How can art be integrated into playgrounds? More than 30 precedents that demonstrate art in a play setting were examined. Noting differences and similarities between the precedents, 12 types were identified. Next, analysis matrices identifying primary and, if applicable, secondary placement of each of the precedents in the 12 developed types, including sub-types, giving art in playgrounds a place. Also classified was type of art, high or vernacular, for each precedent.

April 2017 Introduction
April 2017 Introduction The Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) established the Design Team Roster as an on-line resource that can be used by anyone seeking an artist for a project – community groups, business or property owners, schools, architecture firms, private developers or other public art programs. The Roster provides a pool of highly qualified artists, and increases the efficiency of the selection process. The intent of the roster is to provide users a range of artistic styles from which to select an artist that fits the needs of a particular project -- creating an art plan for a site; collaborating on early design along with having a budget to create artwork(s); identifying opportunities for other artists to provide design elements within the construction budget and/or complemented with public art funds; or, for creating a distinctive artwork for a site. These artist have demonstrated skills, experience and interest in commissioned projects. As you review this roster, please read the artists’ statement and view details of up to three past projects to get a feel for their work. You are strongly encouraged to visit the artists’ websites and social media outlets to further explore their practice. Please note that there are two different PDF versions you can view/download with the larger PDF containing artists’ resumes. Questions?
