PublicArtCommission | 2019-04-15 | 2 | Minutes of the Public Art Commission Regular Meeting Monday, April 19, 2019 Butler: To date, most developers have chosen to do artwork onsite. We can discuss further during the discussion section. Commissioner Farrell: Should we be looking for and contributing locations? Gehrke: This should be part of the input into the location selection process. We will cast a wide net, including public input. Commissioner Gillitt: How far along in the process will we know if their developers will do onsite or in- lieu? Butler: It depends on the developer; we will have conversations with each. Commissioner Gillitt asked: Do they have to commit to paying in or doing something onsite (in-lieu) when they get their building application? Butler: Yes, correct. Commissioner Rush asked: Are they required to use all of that 1% themselves if they decide to do the art? Butler: They either have to use the 1% and substantiate it, or if they don't use all of the 1% they have to put the rest in the Fund. Commissioner Rush: Are we doing any documentation (archiving) on art for the vacant mural storefront program? Gehrke: We have not really documented these programs. These are still broad sketches of programs but that is an excellent idea and we should do that. Chairperson Hoy: You mentioned revising the Public Arts Ordinance, and other cities like Berkeley and Walnut Creek have gone through that. Other cities have done something like the Murals on vacant store front. We wouldn't need to reinvent the wheel? Gehrke: To clarify we are not sure where other cities are on the status of revisions, but yes other cities have a small grants program. Alameda County for example has a small grants program they give out about $80,000, so it is a pretty large program. City of Emeryville has a similar program but they focus on community programing instead of just the arts. We also looked at Alameda Municipal Power sponsorship program. We would be borrowing from other places and making it work for us. Chairperson Hoy: In the new RFP for Public Art is there a threshold on the fund? Let it keep growing so we can do something huge? Gehrke: No there is no threshold. Chairperson Hoy: Did we want a subcommittee to tackle issues? 2 | PublicArtCommission/2019-04-15.pdf |
