MINUTES: Minutes for the Regular Meeting of August 23, 2007 and September 27, 2007 Continued to the meeting of November 29, 2007 3. ORAL COMMUNICATION: 4. REGULAR AGENDA: 4-A. Chair Huston brought up the on-site public art and the memo and felt that it was a misnomer. She referred to the memo and what it says about the Commission and that they are being called upon to apply the funds available to public art and they need not apply it to a specific piece or location, its wide open. She mentioned the Alameda Municipal Code and the section that says that money left over after administrative fees be distributed to the City for on- site public art. She also mentioned that the amount available as of September 2007 is approximately $45,295. She read the memo and suggested that the annual plan be amended to include that the money be spent or applied to the purchase or expenses of public art in Alameda. She proposed a movement to amend the annual plan include a line item to apply the available funds to public art within the next year. She thinks that they should not name the number but rather the source. Mr. Arrants asked about the percentages Ms. Huston clarified that since the funds for administrative duties be spent on art since it had not been used. Mr. Wolfe talked about the specific locations that could have an impact on Park and Webster Streets. He wanted to designate the money to art at the tube. He feels that it is critical that they place art at the entries to the tubes and feels that it would benefit the community if they could make the association with culture upon entering the city. Ms. Huston didn't disagree. Mr. Thomas clarified what was happening at the exit of the Webster tube. | PublicArtCommission/2007-10-25.pdf |
