PublicArtCommission | 2007-08-23 | 2 | Commissioner Lee noted that the timelines and schedules as listed in the ordinance are difficult to adhere to and require revision. Chair Huston said the ordinance should be amended to include penalties to developments that do not actually fulfill the public art requirement. Some receive approval of their applications but do not execute as agreed (Bridgeside). Others never apply (Summerhouse). Mr. Vu suggested that more types of art (e.g. performance art) be elaborated upon in the policy guidelines in order to help the Commission and staff determine if applicants have met the criteria and requirements of the ordinance. Chair Huston requested clarification on the overall timeline of adopting and implementing amendments and how amendments to the ordinance shall be discussed and incorporated. Doug Vu suggested that this discussion be placed on the agenda for the October meeting, which will be attended by Cathy Woodbury, Planning & Building Director. Chair Huston requested that the amendments and guidelines be sent out as a packet to inform all new Commissioners. 5. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS: Mr. Vu summarized the meeting with Chair Huston, Cathy Woodbury, and Doug Vu to discuss the proposed cultural arts grant program. The Alameda arts community is holding a meeting on September 15, 2007 to discuss the cultural arts grant program. Doug Vu welcomes any input on this matter, which Chair Huston and Commissioner Rosenberg seconded. Commissioner Rosenberg requested that the October meeting include an agenda item to list public or private spaces that could be used to place public art and to initiate a call for artists. Mr. Vu handed out a matrix listing nation-wide arts grant programs. He directed the Commissioners to review the various grant programs to allow for a focused discussion at the October meeting. A discussion between the Commission and the public occurred that brought to the forefront the public's desire to assist the Commission in the cultural arts grant program. The Commissioners also explained the existing funding mechanisms, art project requirements and the potential conflict of interest in developing public art. 6. ADJOURNMENT: Meeting adjourned at 8:53 pm Respectfully submitted, Douglas Vu, Secretary Public Art Commission | PublicArtCommission/2007-08-23.pdf |
