PublicArtCommission | 2005-03-24 | 3 | medallions. RS Russi stated that the City created an Artist Agreement, between the City and the artist. 6. New Business A. Update on Webster & Park Streetscape Projects - (Discussion Item) CM Wolfe explained that he met with representatives from ARPD and Development Services. During the meeting, an issue of whether or not the Public Art Ordinance affected sewer or other infrastructure projects was addressed. It is understood by AD Lillard that the intent of the Public Art Ordinance was to have building projects (structures) trigger the 1% Ordinance. CM Wolfe stated that there might be contingency funds for Public Art from the Webster Street Streetscape, but not from the Park Street project. CM Wolfe expressed a desire to look into infrastructure costs being subject to the 1% Ordinance. When Alameda Point redevelopment begins, streets and sewers will be the first items worked on. This will be an extensive project, where developers will then buy pieces of property. CM Wolfe does not want to have an ambiguous term create a lost opportunity for obtaining Public Art funds. RS Russi stated that this would involve amending the Ordinance. C Huston added that this issue should be added to the list of strategic goals. CM Wolfe also addressed the Alameda Theater and Garage Project. These projects have been in the planning stages long before the Public Art Ordinance was in effect. Therefore, Public Art monies were not factored in. He stated that the theater is historical and the 1% could be used to renovate it to historical standards. Regarding the Garage, the 1% could be incorporated into its architecture. CM Wolfe added that the theater is going to have many large, blank walls where murals or other art could be featured. B. Draft of Alameda Public Art Program Map - (Discussion Item) RS Russi stated that the map includes color-coded symbols to show existing and proposed sites for Public Art. He went on to state that it would be too difficult to shrink the map and feature it in a publication (Activity Guide). However, a proposed project could be featured in each publication. C Huston expressed an interest in placing local non-profits on the map. RS Russi suggested that PAAC define their relationship with non-profits before placing them on the map. C Huston also suggested that libraries be featured. For the in-lieu fund, C Huston would like to see which geographic areas are being forgotten or have needs. VC Lee suggested using transparency sheets to provide layering options for the map. PAAC Meeting 3 Minutes March 24, 2005 | PublicArtCommission/2005-03-24.pdf |
