PublicArtCommission | 2019-04-15 | 4 | Minutes of the Public Art Commission Regular Meeting Monday, April 19, 2019 Commissioner Rush brought up ongoing funding for the Public Arts Endowment. The city needs a million to start this, we can set aside funding. Lois Butler mentioned at this time to put a hold and discuss later because funding was not on the agenda. Commissioner Rush then moved to pause this item and move it to item 5 of the Staff Recommendations, it was seconded. The motion carried 4-0. Butler clarified she made an error and the funding was on the agenda for discussion. She noted in the future this would be a separate item. There was a discussion of status current art projects and where they are located. Butler: I can commit to put together an art walk brochure, pending funding, in the next fiscal year. Commissioner Farrell asked if they should be contacting business owners if there are locations for potential art? Gehrke: It depends on the timing of the project but we could use all the help we could get. We should pick one thing and do it, so if we start with the Ordinance it might take longer. Butler: That way landlords are not bombarded with calls from multiple Commissioners that cannot communicate with each other, due of the potential of having an unintentional meeting. You should look at sites as a group, vote on it, and then contact businesses. Gehrke: We should broaden the net and outreach to the community. Commissioner Gillett suggested starting a Social Media page for community input on public art locations in the City. Chairperson Hoy asked questions about timing. Gehrke stated that we would do one thing at a time and gave examples of how long each item can take. Hoy suggested that we start with the Small Grants program, Gehrke stated that this program is a high staff time item as we must develop the program. Butler indicated that we can work with the Commission on get this program underway. Back to revision of Ordinance: Gehrke: Most of the work will happen up front, it may take 10 months but most of that work will be in the first five months. Commissioner Rush: What I'm hearing is that we really need to balance what we want to push forward and your time frame. Gehrke: Exactly Commissioner Farrell: Can we talk more about what revising the Public Art Ordinance means? Is it just about the percentage? How are we revising the Ordinance to encourage more funding? 4 | PublicArtCommission/2019-04-15.pdf |
