PublicArtCommission | 2019-05-29 | 4 | Minutes of the Public Art Commission Regular Meeting Wednesday, May 29, 2019 Public Speaker Addressing Item 4-A: Dan Fontes: I'm a public artist, been doing murals for 30 something years. Number 1, when people send in applications sometimes there's a jury and the jury will rank each application for a certain score and that score will rank them for a certain hierarchy. I thought that might be an interesting discussion or something to consider so you have some type of criteria and some sort of justification for granting funds - it's how other cities do it. 2nd just wanted to say I'm really glad there are grants like these, its makes the public artist job a lot easier. 3rd, have you considered the demographics of the community, I'm sure that will be addressed. Thank you all for your service. Lois Butler says if there are no more speakers we will move onto the discussion. Public Comments Closed Discussion on 4-A: Commissioner Lewis: We have a requirement for each recipient to provide a summary, how do we enforce that? How do we make sure that get done? Butler: What we want to discuss with you all today is how we put this program together. What are the grant amounts? Do we want to deal with odd amounts? (Ex: $545.75) What are the grant increments that we want to give out? Are we recommending between $500-$2,000? Or do you want to do something different? Maybe something more or less? We also want to include a Hold Harmless Clause in the application process. We are going to want their W-9 up front to cut down on the process time to streamline the process. We have to look into whether they need a business license or not, if so that will need to be factored into the amount since the grant is so small. Who to make the check out to. Gehrke addressed some of the concerns about cultural vs. visual arts. There will be someone who will be doing administrative work with the grantees, communicating with them and making sure they turn in their summaries and evaluations. Butler clarified that it would probably be part-time staff working under her. Due to Amanda's workload she would not be doing the administrative work. 4 | PublicArtCommission/2019-05-29.pdf |
