PublicArtCommission | 2008-02-13 | 4 | Ms. Rosenberg said that whatever makes things work more smoothly will help them be a more successful commission. Mr. Biggs said that there are too many projects and levels of review. Mr. Wolfe said they need to be careful when they review projects and asked if they see the recommendation before City Council sees it. Ms. Rosenberg said that they review the recommendation. Ms. Huston said that they get sent out before the commission sees it. She mentioned that it is a problem with the ordinance. She said that staff sends their recommendation to the applicant and Council before the commission sees it. Mr. Wolfe said that an applicant comes in, the commission reviews their application and comments, then staff makes a written comment or recommendation then it goes to City Council. Ms. Lee said that they review all the components. Mr. Biggs expressed some confusion and tried to explain his understanding of the process. Ms. Huston suggested talking about it under its topic. 4-B. (Formerly 4-D) Public Art Fund Ms. Huston asked about it because it is the first part of finding out where the money is going. She questioned the amount in the public art fund. Mr. Biggs clarified by saying that the commission should find out which projects have paid an in- lieu fee, the amount of money and the running balance. Ms. Rosenberg asked if there were plans for the money. Do they have expenses? She suggested putting it on the agenda to discuss if there is a use for the money. Mr. Wolfe asked if they should look at a physical plan of where potential sites would be. Ms. Lee suggested a systematic plan for artist selection and how they would advertise. Mr. Wolfe asked if it was appropriate to use some of the money to hire a consultant to help with the plan, to look at sites and the process, and engage artists in the arts program. Ms. Lee mentioned that the revamping the City's website should include an art section. Ms. Rosenberg recalled a discussion that talked about creating a project when they had enough money. They would ask for artists submittals, public opinion and develop a request. Ms. Lee wants a procedure in place before spending any money. Ms. Huston said that there is a brief outline regarding how they could spend the money. She asked about agendizing a discussion the purchase of public art.
