CM Rosenberg went on to ask if Mr. Savinar could bring in only those projects that meet the funding threshold. The process would be streamlined if he could be more specific. Secretary Bailey suggested that they address the issue when they spoke with Mr. Savinar. CM Wolfe inquired as to whether or not the artists have considered where their art will be placed in the mall. During the call, Mr. Savinar explained two goals for this presentation/discussion. First, that everyone understands what has been presented to date with an opportunity for further comments. Second, the ability to move forward with the actual application process and obtain the correct forms. He went on to explain that South Shore Shopping Center will be in a Craftsman style, indigenous to the area. One cause for the delay in bringing the project before the PAC was that new alleyways and circulation paths have been devised. Mr. Savinar stated that the developer is interested in using local artists whenever possible. He went on to speak about three artists whose work will be featured throughout the center; Ake Grunditz and JaYing Wang of Alameda, and John Laursen from Portland, OR. The works will carry regional or Alameda-specific imagery. The Public Art will be featured throughout the center.
