She then read her letter to City Council. Ms. Lee read her letter to City Council. Her concerns are "mission creep", they are being asked to manage a different program. She feels they are not qualified to give out grants and she is uncomfortable giving money to friends and neighbors and is concerned with conflict of interest. They are not in a position to put in extra time; they are an advisory committee, not a research and grant generating committee. They are not clear on their mission. Ms. Huston added that since the grants issue came up, she became more alert to conflicts. She referenced the September minutes and that they are supposed to come up with ideas and give them to the planning department. She never intended to work under management of the planning department without pay and grew uncomfortable as materials arrived that increasingly pressured her to answer to the planning department. She mentioned the draft of a subcommittee report that was prevented from being presented to the Commission. She feels that a lot of their work has been subverted. They had reservations regarding the grants program and managing the creation of a new program in which planning controls. Mr. Biggs asked about the agenda topic to clarify how the letters related.

He suggested that common space could be useful and could also be a revenue earner. It could be affordable for artists.

ROLL CALL: Chair Huston, Vice-Chair Lee, Commissioners Rosenberg and Wolfe STAFF PRESENT: Douglas Vu, Planner III; Shana Nero, Recording Secretary 3. MINUTES: Minutes for the Regular Meeting of July 26, 2007 Chair Huston called for a review of the April 25, 2007 and May 23, 2007 meeting minutes. After reviewing the minutes Chair Huston offered following the summation of the Alameda Towne Centre History Panels project. A letter had been sent to Mr. Savinar stating that the Historic Panel was not seeing a deficit in the area of diversity. Which is the stories were focused on white males primarily and there was no mention of anyone non-European decent. The commission's concerns were brought up at the beginning of the commissions regarding diversity. The revised edition came through with no revisions that included anyone of color. Mr. Larson offered a response, that he had worked overtime on this project and that it was beautifully crafted and well written. Mr. Larson stated he had researched extensively and the commission agrees with all the assertions. Mr. Larson mentioned that people with forms did not have cameras to take pictures; therefore there is little or no record of diversity in Alameda. In addition, the documenting of diversity that he offered was "ugly". That the public record of people of color was racist and unacceptable in a public art forum and so part of the challenge is how to prevent history. His criteria for the search was that he needed documented and supportive storage outside of the dominant community and those that did exist were brutal and finding some way to explaining the discussion. Doug Vu offered to listen to the April 25, 2007 meeting minutes to accurately clarify the discussion regarding the Public Art Panel. Chair Huston stated that she would like the minutes to reflect the fact that Mr. Savinar was responding to a letter requesting greater representation to proceed in the history panel. No further amendments were made to the April 25, 2007 minutes. Chair Hus… | PublicArtCommission/2007-07-26.pdf |

Discussion of Amendments to the Public Art Ordinance Chair Huston directed the Commission to review the document regarding the funding cap, staging and to discuss changes. Chair Huston requested clarification of the Arts Grants funding because the ordinance does not allow for adding outside money to this fund or applying money in this fund to anything other than public art or the administration of the public art project Doug Vu explained that when the grant program is developed, the ordinance may also be amended. He recommended that the Commissioners focus the discussion on the total cap as stated in the ordinance. Commissioner Lee requested that the Commission develop a review process to ensure quality control and follow-up on the status of approved projects. Mr. Vu pointed out that the non-object based specific art guidelines (e.g. programming) require additional information, as they are too vague. Chair Huston requested that the new guidelines include that non-object based specific art submittals would require a schedule or more detailed information so that it can be verified. | PublicArtCommission/2007-08-23.pdf |

ORAL COMMUNICATION: Mr. John Sanchez was interested in what the Commission does. It was suggested that the agenda be rearranged and the ordinance discussion be last because it would be better understood after discussing the other topics first. 4. REGULAR AGENDA: 4-A. (Formerly 4-E) Public Art Commission Administration and Enforcement Ms. Huston and Ms. Lee reported on their meeting with the Mayor. The three main points were: 1. Using the public art funds for the grants was in competition with the public arts use. 2. The public art commission is independent, not under control of the planning department and 3. That they are advisory, not an action commission. Mr. Wolfe stated that as soon as a project becomes official, the Public Art Commission should be notified. Ms. Huston asked for a list of all projects operating under a temporary certificate of occupancy. Ms. Huston mentioned that people are going directly to City Council and asking to bypass the process. She wants to know where they are letting this happen. Ms. Rosenberg said that it's the Mayor and planning's right to bypass the process but does an injustice to the public art enrichment and enjoyment. Mr. Wolfe mentioned that developers have dealt with enough commissions and do not want to deal with another one. Ms. Lee asked if there should be more of a connection between what their obligation is and what the check was. | PublicArtCommission/2008-02-13.pdf |

Staff sought approval from the commission to use $11,559.50 of the Public Art Fund to reimburse ARPD for 50 percent of the site improvements. Gehrke explained that additional funding was needed as a site engineering evaluation was not completed prior to artist's proposal submission, and that staff hope to identify and pre-evaluate potential public art sites or include engineering evaluations in future physical art proposals. | PublicArtCommission/2021-06-21.pdf |

PublicArtCommission/2020-12-21.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2020-12-21 | 2 | Minutes of the Public Art Commission Monday, December 21, 2020 Public member Tara Pillbrow recommended coordinating with local non-profits to create an Alameda art map and guide, and stated that small grants can be made virtually during COVID, and may be a good way to encourage art during this time. Following, is a summary of the discussion of the potential projects that had been identified in previous PAC meetings: Community process to prioritize and identify locations for public art, including potentially developing an Art Park. Chairperson Gillitt recommends prioritizing identifying locations to facilitate the development of public art. Release new Request for Qualifications (RFQs) or Request for Proposals (RFPs) for physical and cultural art, including potential permanent location for temporary art, light-based art at Alameda Point, and/or interactive community event. Creation of professionally designed marketing materials for public art. Commissioner Farrell recommends a virtual map and/or placards with QR codes, possibly including both private and public as well as existing and upcoming art. Chairperson Gillitt suggested an app with similar features. Commissioner Sneeringer recommends digital material (map, etc) that is easier to maintain/update. Commissioner Farrell, Vice Chairperson Rush, and Chairperson Gillitt recommended an interim list and brief description of existing and coming-soon public art until the marketing and map can be developed, as well as temporary QR code stickers that direct people to the existing site, and Staff member Gehrke invited feedback on existing Alameda public art page. Commissioner Van Cleef recommended a satellite site - not part of the City's webpage. Provide whole or matching grants to install murals on public or private property. Pilot a small grants program to provide grants from $500-2,000 for visual or cultural arts. Provide whole or matching grants to install murals on public or private property.

PublicArtCommission/2007-10-25.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2007-10-25 | 2 | Mr. Wolfe asked how it would fit into the program. Mr. Thomas said that it was to be designated as a high priority project. Ms. Huston said that one way or another they need to spend the money. She is not sure that $45,000 is enough to provide art for that location and feels that they could spend the money faster than when the project is going to be finished. She wants to put it on the agenda for discussion. She feels that the scale of the art would have to be huge to compete with the surrounding area. Mr. Thomas stated that the plans are very detailed and are finalized. He said that the two big issues are the timing and that the developer has committed $300,000 for the public art requirement. Ms. Huston wants to put spending the money on the annual plan. Mr. Wolfe wants to put spending the money on the plan with a specific site, the exit of the tube. Mr. Arrants wanted clarify what the tube was and how it was going to change in the future. Mr. Thomas helped him visualize the future project. Ms. Huston is ready for some art to be out. They don't know what $45,000 will buy. She also wanted to know what they others thought. She doesn't need to commit to a site. Mr. Wolfe feels that they need to move in a direction that will allow them to use the money. Ms. Huston would support the discussion if the other commissioners were there. Mr. Arrants asked if there was an objection to talking about it at the next meeting. Ms. Huston felt that spending the money in the fund was not an urgent issue. Mr. Thomas responded by saying that if they wanted to split the discussion, approve the expenditures, send it to City Council and let them know that they are talking about it. Ms. Huston proposed a motion that they add to the annual plan the expenditure of funds for public art in the coming year with specific considerations of the Neptune Park and the Webster tube exit. She also wanted to propose an Ad Hoc Committee for the further consider the phrasing and crafting of the cultural arts grant. Mr. Thomas stated that the intent of … | PublicArtCommission/2007-10-25.pdf |

It prevented the commission from engaging in the appropriate discussion, which is this appropriate for this commission, is the money appropriate based on the ordinance they are serving. Ms. Rosenberg said that if the answer is no and it doesn't follow the guidelines, then it is up to City Council to create a proper grants committee or a set of guidelines. She said that they need guidance from Council to assure that there is enough direction. Mr. Wolfe stated that the mission of the commission is to advise City Council. He moved that their understanding of their mission is that the grants authoring is outside the scope of the public art commission. Ms. Huston added that the use of the PAC funds for grants is in violation of the ordinance. She restated the movement that the Cultural Arts Grants are outside the scope of the Commission and that the use of the funds for these grants is in violation of the uses outlined by the ordinance. Ms. Rosenberg seconded the motion. All were in favor. Ms. Rosenberg said that they would like to continue as an advisory commission and suggested that the City create a separate grants commission. Ms. Huston replied by saying that She would have been willing to pursue the concern of the grants had there not been such a confusion of authority between the commission and staff. If there was a desire to craft a program, they would have been willing to do it. Ms. Rosenberg said that they are there to serve the public and feels that it dishonors what a public commission does and feels that it disrespects their time. Ms. Huston thinks the big issue was not being able to bring a draft to the commission, to be prevented from doing that made it clear that it wasn't their project. Ms. Lee wanted to remind everyone that the commission is there for public art, art in public places, not art for the public. Ms. Huston brought up another topic, which was the public art project. She feels that it isn't thriving. She is confused about their r… | PublicArtCommission/2008-01-09.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2006-11-29.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2006-11-29 | 2 | 9. SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT: None 10. COMMISSIONER COMMUNICATION: It was agreed that if there are no agenda items, future meetings would be cancelled by Staff upon confirmation with the Chair of the Commission. However, it was agreed that the Commission will meet at least quarterly to maintain a presence and to take care of housekeeping or non-action agenda items such as creating "to do' lists and to discuss future items. A discussion followed regarding the development of a 'to do' list for the Commission. The following items were identified: 1. A map of the City of Alameda that identifies where current and future art projects are located. The map should also provide a brief description of the type of art project in order to assist the Commission in evaluating the diversity of the community when proposing new art projects in the future to reflect the City's diverse demographic. 2. The Commission should pursue an effort to eliminate or increase the cap for the art allocation of all eligible projects. It was discussed that the art allocation should be proportional to the valuation of the project instead of the existing $150,000 limit and projects that are phased over several years should be assessed accordingly during each phase. 3. The Commission should develop an assessment form or evaluation process in order to 1) analyze the art project upon completion to determine if it was consistent with what was originally approved and 2) to evaluate the Commission's process for future improvement.

After defining Public Art in general, including common locations, sample funding models, and a presentation of the wide variety of existing public art, Forecast facilitated an exercise to gather input for the definition of Public Art specific to the process of developing the Public Art Master plan for the City of Alameda. Questions and a summary of responses are as follows: Where should Public Art be located (concentrated or spread out)? Throughout Alameda; very publicly accessible; the diversity of opportunities within a variety of neighborhoods; art is missing from shoreline and other high-traffic key destination areas: difficult to locate existing public art; continue to expand artwork beyond nautical-theme; historical challenges has been finding sites and working with City to get approval for public art sites; and the importance of equitable distribution. How long should Public Art be installed? Program should support both performance and temporary physical art (temporary) as well as permanent pieces like sculpture (permanent); allow artwork to be deaccessioned so that artwork can represent a diversity of artists instead of the historical precedent of white male artists; increased cost of maintaining long term art pieces takes funding away from new artwork; temporary art can be placed in more locations; set term limits for art which allows a living-gallery feel and fresh art; civic buildings and garages might be a good fit for murals or light installations; Alameda has had no audio installations; and keep art permanently, but move art from key places to allow new art.

C Huston asked if the panel project would be a historical, informative, well- executed storytelling thing, or would it be art. Mr. Savinar stated that the project would be historically informative. C Huston questioned the project's conceptual depth. CM Wolfe interjected that a good narrative could make a difference in the final product. Mr. Savinar added that the proposed subjects do not include images of parks or families, and most are taken around the turn of the 20th century. CM Cervantes stated that families are changing, and this diversity would be good to capture.

Chairperson Hoy: Would these small grants not allow someone to pursue the larger grants? Butler: I think they would be able to pursue the larger grants. Chairperson Hoy: What about operating expenses? I know we have them with the big grants but would any allowances be allowed for the smaller grants? For expenses in the grants? Butler: That's a discussion question. Chairperson Hoy: Would organizations outside of Alameda be allowed to apply as they were doing a piece in Alameda? Butler: I don't think we could discriminate. We could say it has to take place in Alameda, but I don't think we can discriminate as to where the business is located. Commissioner Farrell: Are the 20 grants per year 20 applications you'll receive per year or 20 to dole out? Butler: 20 to dole out. Commissioner Lewis: What is the enforcement mechanism for that? Or is that a discussion question? Butler: That's a discussion question, I don't think Chairperson Hoy was finished. Chairperson Hoy: Could these grants be part of a larger application? If someone was trying to check off a bunch of small grants for the county or state. Could this be used for that? Butler: For leverage? Yes. Chairperson Hoy: For any purpose.

Chair Huston shared some additional concerns. One was the nature and scale of the space, the second was the programming, and lastly whether the space would be utilized as a public area. Mr. Qualls agreed to submit an annual programming schedule to the Planning & Building Director for approval. Deborah Owen and Mike Sheppard from the Frank Bette Center of Performing Arts were present and informed the Commission that from what she can tell by the plans, this will be a wonderful accommodation for community art, with plenty of options for programming.

He also mentioned that organizations would not be there without the individual artist. Chair Huston welcomed Commissioner Wolfe to the Commission. Michelle Frederick thanked the City for recognizing that art is important and that it is economically viable for the community and for artists. She wanted to talk about the grant criteria and wanted to make sure that it inclusive, visual arts, all media, written and spoken word, performances and events, architecture, historic preservation and culinary arts. She felt strongly that grants should be available to individuals as well as groups and feels that there should be a portion set aside for individuals to apply for. In addition, she feels that the art product that is produced should contribute to the advancement or enhancement of Alameda and the art community. She also wanted to make sure that the grants that are awarded are given to the appropriate recipient, such as teaming up with art departments in schools to further the understanding of what art is, a partnership.

Cultural Arts Grants Program Chair Lee opened the public comment session. Mr. Jeff Cambra spoke about the Arts Grants Program and thanked the Commission for their hard work. He requested another charette. He felt that despite the fact that a consensus had not been reached, it was productive and it was good to hear opposing views. It gave a better view of the big picture. Mr. Clint Imboden asked about the emergency/opportunity grants and if an individual who received a grant in the first year of the two-year cycle could apply for an emergency or opportunity grant in the second year of the cycle. Commissioner Huston replied to Mr. Imboden's question by saying that they don't want to encourage the accident-prone. She is what remains of the subcommittee for the Cultural Arts Grants. She referred to the memo for Item 4-B. She talked with a City Council member and was told that funds had not been allocated. She mentioned contradictions in paperwork on the City side. She also mentioned that there is no labor. She wondered if the Grants program is part of their scope. She mentioned that they are an advisory committee and are not equipped to take on such a large task. She brought up that she was called into the Planning department and was told that they had to take on the task of the grants program. After doing some research, they found that it might be incompatible with the size and scope of their work. She wants to speak with City Council to see if it is their job to take on such a large task. There were internal difficulties. She brought up the subcommittee and that it was not to work with staff, but to create the draft grants program. There was no agreement to present the draft to staff prior to presenting it to their own commission. She doesn't like that it imposed a process on the commission that they didn't agree to. She expressed frustration that her draft was … | PublicArtCommission/2007-11-29.pdf |

Finalize Public Art Annual Plan - (Discussion/Action Item) C Huston and VC Lee organized the Annual Plan prior to the meeting. The work done by the PAAC during 2004-2005 would be submitted as an Annual Report. One major component was the collection of public art information and program guidelines from other cities, which culminated in the drafting and completion of Alameda's Guidelines. The Annual Plan would include work to be done during the 2005-2006 period. This will include creating a Public Art Program Mission Statement, and developing documents used for Call for Entries and Request for Qualifications/Proposals PAAC reviewed and finalized the Annual Report and Plan. M/S/C Rosenberg/Cervantes (approved) "That the Annual Report of 2004-2005 and the Annual Plan of 2005-2006 be approved." Approved (4) - Huston, Lee, Cervantes, Rosenberg Absent (1) - Wolfe AD Lillard stated that the first opportunity to present the Report and Plan to the City Council would come in late June. B. Finalize Mission Statement - (Discussion/Action Item) Discussion tabled on Mission Statement until PAAC meeting on May 26, 2005. C. Finalize Public Art Documents - (Discussion/Action Item) RS Russi stated that a finalized RFQ/RFP would be required, since Sue Russell and the Webster Street Project are moving forward. VC Lee asked if she could review an e-mail from CM Wolfe, regarding the Webster Street Project. CM Wolfe brought up issues regarding the timeline, budget, and RFQ. In addition, CM Wolfe inquired as to where the art piece would be located. The site, as described, is unclear and needs some verbal or visual delineation.

PublicArtCommission/2008-03-12.pdf,2 | 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 publi… | PublicArtCommission/2008-03-12.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2007-08-23.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2007-08-23 | 2 | Commissioner Lee noted that the timelines and schedules as listed in the ordinance are difficult to adhere to and require revision. Chair Huston said the ordinance should be amended to include penalties to developments that do not actually fulfill the public art requirement. Some receive approval of their applications but do not execute as agreed (Bridgeside). Others never apply (Summerhouse). Mr. Vu suggested that more types of art (e.g. performance art) be elaborated upon in the policy guidelines in order to help the Commission and staff determine if applicants have met the criteria and requirements of the ordinance. Chair Huston requested clarification on the overall timeline of adopting and implementing amendments and how amendments to the ordinance shall be discussed and incorporated. Doug Vu suggested that this discussion be placed on the agenda for the October meeting, which will be attended by Cathy Woodbury, Planning & Building Director. Chair Huston requested that the amendments and guidelines be sent out as a packet to inform all new Commissioners. 5. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS: Mr. Vu summarized the meeting with Chair Huston, Cathy Woodbury, and Doug Vu to discuss the proposed cultural arts grant program. The Alameda arts community is holding a meeting on September 15, 2007 to discuss the cultural arts grant program. Doug Vu welcomes any input on this matter, which Chair Huston and Commissioner Rosenberg seconded. Commissioner Rosenberg requested that the October meeting include an agenda item to list public or private spaces that could be used to place public art and to initiate a call for artists. Mr. Vu handed out a matrix listing nation-wide arts grant programs. He directed the Commissioners to review the various grant programs to allow for a focused discussion at the October meeting. A discussion between the Commission and the public occurred that brought to the forefront the public's desire to assist the Commission in the cultural arts grant program. The Commissioners also explained the existing fundi… | PublicArtCommission/2007-08-23.pdf |

PublicArtCommission/2008-02-13.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2008-02-13 | 2 | Ms. Huston mentioned enforcement and accountability. They feel that they are not succeeding. They want to find out why this is happening. Once they get it documented, they can amend the ordinance. She mentioned having fewer meetings and spending more money on public art. Its about finding the money and projects. Ms. Rosenberg said that the reason they are not seeing the projects is because they have not been approved. Ms. Huston mentioned Bay Ship and Yacht and that they had a lawsuit with the City and their application was lost. They had been exempted from the art requirement. She wants to talk about changing the ordinance. She said that Ms. Woodbury had some changes because when a developer submits proposals to the commission, they are often operating under temporary certificates of occupancy. It's too late in the process. Ms. Huston expressed concern with the design. Mr. Wolfe mentioned talking with the City attorney Ms. Rosenberg wants a timeline for how planning works. Ms. Huston asked what in ordinance allows developers to get a temporary certificate of occupancy before fulfilling the public art requirement. She asked if staff could ask Ms. Woodbury about having a discussion about this issue. How do they fix that problem? She brought up enforcement and said that she could only speak to Bridgeside. She explained what happened. The Mayor said that it is not enforceable. She suggested making them pay in- lieu fees. Mr. Wolfe wants a time frame regarding Bridgeside noncompliance and their discussion with the attorney and Ms. Woodbury's response to their inquiry. Mr. Biggs reminded the commission that they are a quasi-judicial body and to exercise caution with enforcement, especially with individuals. Applicants are entitled to due process. He suggested that the proper way to enforce non-compliance is to inform staff of deficiencies. It is staff's obligation to make sure the applicant is in compliance. Ms. Rosenberg mentioned the efficacy of their program. Ms. Huston said that Bridgeside is an example and should… | PublicArtCommission/2008-02-13.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2017-02-15.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2017-02-15 | 2 | Public Speakers: Rachel Campos, Alameda Coalition for the Arts, stated that they fully support the changes proposed by City staff. Ms. Campos shared images of public art from other cities and specifically stated support for removing the requirement for public art to have historic or maritime themes. Elaine Fong, Rhythmix Cultural Works, stated that she supports staff's recommendations, and wants to challenge the way public art is thought of in Alameda. She said the Commission should consider supporting festivals and events, like Rhythmix's Island City Waterways, that can support economic development in the City. Julie Baron, Julie's Coffee and Tea Garden, Board of Directors of Downtown Alameda Business Association & Community Advisory Board of Rhythmix, stated that she supports city staff recommendations. Helen Sause, stated that she supports using the money for a large notable piece of art, giving the Public Art Commission final say on locations for public art, and giving artists that live or work in Alameda a local preference. Chair Hoy closed public testimony. Chair Hoy stated that he supports removing the historic and maritime requirement, but is concerned that the City might end up with art that has no relationship to Alameda. He wonders if the evaluation of placemaking could incorporate a relationship to Alameda. Commissioner Gillitt stated that he shared the concerns. Ms. Gehrke replied that the Commission could recommend changing the placemaking criteria in the RFP to include an evaluation of how the piece reflects Alameda. Lois Butler, Economic Development Manager, suggested that Alameda relevance could become a separate criteria in the evaluation process. Commissioner Carter said that she thinks 5% is low for a local preference, and the City need to do better to inform local artists that these funds are available. The Commission discussed resources to perform public outreach. Ms. Gehrke stated that we have a mailing list of artists and arts organizations within the City of Alameda, and that the RFP will… | PublicArtCommission/2017-02-15.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2020-08-17.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2020-08-17 | 2 | Minutes of the Public Art Commission Monday, August 17, 2020 increase the grant amount by $1,500 was made by Vice Chairperson Rush and seconded by Commissioner Farrell. Ayes: Chairperson Gillitt, Vice Chairperson Rush, Commissioners Van Cleef and Farrell. Nays: none. The motion carried 4-0. 5-B. 2020-8232 Consider and Provide Feedback on Proposed Amendments to the Public Art Ordinance Staff member Gehrke reviewed proposed amendments to the Public Art Ordinance, including: Allowing the Fund to be used for conservation and maintenance of public art. Requiring developers to declare their intention to install on-site artwork or contribute to the Fund prior to receiving planning approvals. Revising the language to clarify that the maintenance agreement shall be reflected in the conditions of approval and recorded against the property prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy. Revising the language to allow grants for $2,000 and lower to go to profit as well as nonprofit businesses. Specifying that City Council approval is needed only for Fund expenditures that exceed the purchase authority of the City Manager. Staff member Gehrke also provided research and recommendations on discussion topics requested by the PAC at a previous meeting: Dedicating a portion of the Fund exclusively to maintenance and conservation. Requiring different program contributions for residential and commercial construction. Exploring the potential to use public art consultants to enhance the quality of on-site public art. Staff members Gehrke and Butler answered clarifying questions. Commissioners discussed proposed amendments and the requested research topics. Commissioner Farrell suggested including ARPD in the development of a Public Art map for Alameda, which could be created by a local graphic artist. Gehrke offered to provide follow up on the use of funds for art promotion as part of the PAC's work plan prioritization. Commissioners requested agendizing discussion of Fund contribution rates for in-lieu/on-site and commer… | PublicArtCommission/2020-08-17.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2021-04-19.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2021-04-19 | 2 | Minutes of the Public Art Commission Monday, April 19, 2021 2021-850 Recommendation to Provide Guidance on the Development of a Request for Proposals for a Public Art Master Plan Staff member Gehrke presented and requested guidance on the development of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Public Art Master Plan, identified as a priority by the PAC in December 2020. Gehrke identified key elements (vision and goals, reviewing existing documents, and engaging in community outreach), and presented recommended elements identified by staff in collaboration with PAC and community to: Create public art policy guidelines for the administration of on-site public art and public art grants; Review/update the deaccession policy; Review/update the maintenance and conservation policy; Facilitate a community-led process for identifying new locations for public art; and Prioritize public art programming. Additional elements presented for consideration included developing a cultural equity statement, identifying locations for future public art projects, training for staff/PAC members, and developing guidelines for a mural program. Chairperson Gillitt welcomed City Council Member Trish Spencer-Herrera to the meeting. Staff member Gehrke answered clarifying questions. Commissioners discussed and identified the following potential elements for the Master Plan RFP: robust community engagement in the development process, identification of additional sources of funding for Public Art, a focus on smaller art projects with a wider distribution (i.e. manhole or sidewalk art pieces), the role of a dedicated public art coordinator, defining the purpose of public art in Alameda and the role of PAC in supporting this. Additional discussion points included: potentially incorporating or integrating the 2040 plan into the RFP, developing working groups to address individual topics or submitting more targeted RFPs for specific projects in lieu of a Master Plan, hiring an art coordinator in lieu of developing a Master Plan. In summary, Commissioner… | PublicArtCommission/2021-04-19.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2009-01-14.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2009-01-14 | 2 | Elizabeth Candelario reminded everyone that development of an artist's resource list had been discussed by the Commission and should be included in any suggestion to Council. Eric Ibsen recommended suggesting to Council that the funds be applied to art programs in Alameda Schools and development of a public art resource website. Staff suggested that the Board recommend that some of the funds be used for the design/development of a public art piece in a public space in Alameda. Karen Lee mentioned that Request for Proposal (RFP) process would be the best way to go for development of some public art. She also added that a list of potential artists would need to be developed in order for a properly distributed RFP. The Commissioners discussed how best to proceed next. By consensus they felt the next step in this process would be for staff to come back to the Commission with a report that included the following: A listing of projects for inclusion in the Public Art Plan Cost estimates for the projects Methods or tools to implement the projects Who will be involved Ayes: 3; Noes: 0; Absent 1. Motion passed to have staff come back with a report including the above. (4B.) Discussion on a Children's Art Project Eric Ibsen noted that a children's art project should be included on the list of projects for the Public Art Plan recommendation to be taken to Council. Elizabeth Candelario suggested that art projects involving children in other communities be explored. Karen Lee added that recently an art project for children took place at Alameda Point. She explained that chalk was used to draw and color on a portion of the runway and then an aerial photo was taken to document the children's artistic endeavors. Eric Ibsen offered to collect some information on a children's art project at Jack London Square in Oakland. Karen Lee said she knew someone who was involved in the Alameda Point art project and would get in touch with that person to gather some information.

PublicArtCommission/2005-09-28.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2005-09-28 | 2 | Commission Members on the site. PAC members agreed that they should be listed. CM Cervantes asked that her e-mail could be included as well. 4. Written Communications None. 5. Old Business A. Update on South Shore Shopping Center - (Oral Presentation) - Tad Savinar, Art Consultant, Harsch Investment Properties Before Commission's conference call with Mr. Savinar, they discussed the project. CM Rosenberg asked whether they can place additional pieces after they have met the Ordinance's requirements. C Huston answered in the affirmative. CM Rosenberg went on to ask if Mr. Savinar could bring in only those projects that meet the funding threshold. The process would be streamlined if he could be more specific. Secretary Bailey suggested that they address the issue when they spoke with Mr. Savinar. CM Wolfe inquired as to whether or not the artists have considered where their art will be placed in the mall. During the call, Mr. Savinar explained two goals for this presentation/discussion. First, that everyone understands what has been presented to date with an opportunity for further comments. Second, the ability to move forward with the actual application process and obtain the correct forms. He went on to explain that South Shore Shopping Center will be in a Craftsman style, indigenous to the area. One cause for the delay in bringing the project before the PAC was that new alleyways and circulation paths have been devised. Mr. Savinar stated that the developer is interested in using local artists whenever possible. He went on to speak about three artists whose work will be featured throughout the center; Ake Grunditz and JaYing Wang of Alameda, and John Laursen from Portland, OR. The works will carry regional or Alameda-specific imagery. The Public Art will be featured throughout the center. C Huston stated that she was hungry to see the artists' own style, while CM Rosenberg emphasized being able to see the artists' voice in their pieces. CM Rosenberg expressed her desire to see how the art will relate to the setti… | PublicArtCommission/2005-09-28.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2018-04-04.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2018-04-04 | 2 | tonight's discussion. The monies could be invested. Could there be an endowment so that these funds are generating funds, so that we are not thinking of these funds as a onetime thing and they can be generating funds year after year. Pat Colburn: Are there any additional funds forecasted for the art fund? (Ms. Butler clarified that questions are not answered at this time. The Commissioners can choose to answer questions as part of the discussion.) She liked the idea of having a personal interview when you make a decision on the finalist and having a one-to-one with the people applying. Cheryl Aaron: Appreciated staff coming back so soon and what is the schedule going forward. She said she love the suggested review of the process. She is with Island Alliance of the Arts and personally believes if they had had the opportunity to address some of the questions, it would have been helpful. But it's a new process. Public Comments closed Discussion: Acting Chairperson Sherman: What is the possibility of an endowment? Ms. Butler: We need to research this. Monies go into interest bearing accounts. A Commissioner stated that he has done research on this and a City can form a nonprofit and administer an endowment. Additional Public Speaker: Wes Warren: He like the review process option. Commissioner Farrell: Lois, when you say the money is in an account is it a money market, how is it invested? Ms. Butler: She would need to research this and follow-up. The interest from money invested is credited to the account. Acting Chairperson Lewis do we know how much interest was generated? Ms. Butler: She would need to research. Commissioner Gillitt: Do we have a forecast of any developers that plan to donate in lieu of onsite art? Ms. Butler: She does not know of any developers. Commissioners discussed proposal amounts. Ms. Butler indicated that this is the meeting to determine what should happen to with the funds that were not disbursed.
