PublicArtCommission | 2008-03-12 | 2 | Mr. Biggs stated that the Commission needed to develop language to address the phasing of larger projects. He read his suggested language. The Commission considered the language and indicated that it was along the lines of what they had in mind. The Commission also discussed in-lieu fee contributions and the proposed change to the Public Art Ordinance, which was the elimination of a cap of $150,000, and other methods of calculating public art contributions. Motion (Rosenberg)/Second (Wolfe) for staff to research what other cities required developers to spend on public art and what percentage of in-lieu fees is spent on administration. Ayes: 3; Noes:0 Motion passed unanimously (4-C) Discussion on the development of procedures to recommend the acquisition or purchase of public art to the City Council. Mr. Biggs began the discussion by reading the staff report. The Commission noted that many of the points in the report are already in the guidelines for the acquisition and purchase of public art. Commissioner Lee pointed out that all of their conversations come back to the need for a web resource. The Commission had questions about how to generate and distribute proposals for future art projects. The Commission made suggestions including the possible creation of a map of art that is currently in place and potential locations for future art. Mr. Biggs asked if the Commission could generate a list of where public art is in Alameda. A photographic inventory of public art in Alameda was also suggested. Ms. Owen told the Commission that they have a resource of about 50-100 photographers available to help with the project. She suggested a challenge or a scavenger hunt to get all the art documented or having a call to the public for people to help out. Motion (Rosenberg)/Second (Wolfe) to give the Commission a homework assignment to document and photograph the art and where it is located in Alameda. Ayes: 3; Noes: 0. Motion passed unanimously The Commission then talked about how diversity and variety is necessary with public art. It was also suggested that the Commission should be open to other funding sources and opportunities. Ms. Owen mentioned that there is a photo exhibit coming up and would like the opportunity to show some of the pieces at City Hall.
