PublicArtCommission/2006-06-07.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2006-06-07 | 2 | -NONE 5. New Business -NONE 6. Old Business A. Alameda Towne Centre The Commission discussed conformity issues with regard to the Conditions of Approval. It was also confirmed that the artwork's identification plaque include the City's logo, as required by the Public Art Ordinance. Concern regarding maintenance of the artwork and public access (with regard to ADA) was also addressed. The Commission considered the success of the applicant's proposed interpretive historic panels for the Towne Centre in meeting the Ordinance's criteria. After a thorough discussion of the proposal, the Commission confirmed the interpretive panels' success in meeting the criteria. In addition, C Huston stated the desire for the piece to include a plaque that identified the artist and included a statement about him, including his photograph. The Commission then considered the success of the applicant's proposed Brad Rude sculpture for the Towne Centre in meeting the Ordinance's criteria. The sculpture's color, size, scale, and artistic merit were subjectively evaluated in addition to its adherence to the Ordinance's criteria. The Commission agreed the sculpture was more pleasing as opposed to provocative and would complement the color scheme and surrounding environment of the Towne Centre. M/S/C Huston/Lee (approved) "That the public art proposal for the Alameda Towne Centre by the applicant, Harsch Investment Properties, consisting of the interpretive panels by John Larsen and the sculpture by Brad Rude meets the approval criteria of the City's Public Art Ordinance." Approved (4) - Huston, Lee, Rosenberg, Wolfe Absent (1) - Cervantes 7. Subcommittee Reports CM Rosenberg reported that the subcommittee would review proposals for the parking garage wall media project on June 26, 2006 and report back to the Commission at a later date with a recommendation.

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 |
PublicArtCommission/2006-11-29.pdf,3 | PublicArtCommission | 2006-11-29 | 3 | 11. STAFF COMMUNICATION: The following is the current status of the projects identified in the February 2006 Status Report: 1. 2515 Blanding Ave. -- A work/live project. 2. Bridgeside -- Commission approved the proposal with a condition regarding specific programming agreements. Commission expressed concern that the final executed resolution failed to accurately identify the condition of approval regarding the agreed upon programming. 3. Alameda Towne Centre -- Opening in phases. Art has not been installed yet due to construction delays. Vice Chair Lee suggested press releases for all new artwork open to the public. 4. Summer House (Harbor Island Apartments) -- No formal application for public art filed as of the February 2006 status report. The Commission expressed concern about the lack of initiative to include public art and also was curious about the temporary Certificate of Occupancy. 5. Alameda Landing (Catellus Project) -- Still in entitlement phase. The project will go to City Council on December 5, 2006. 6. Alameda Theater/Parking Structure -- Mural was removed from project due to removal of sheer wall. Commission expressed concern about what the developers are going to do to include public art in the construction of the parking structure and the Alameda Theater. They were concerned about "grandfathering" to avoid being obligated to include public art in the project. 7. Washington Park Recreation Building - Doug Vu will follow up to see if The Park and Recreation Department has submitted an application for public art. The following projects are still in the entitlement phase: 1. Boatworks - Submitted application for rezoning to allow 242 dwelling units. 2. Harbor Bay Village - Submitted application for rezoning to allow 104 single- family homes. Currently in EIR phase. 3. Bayport 4. Bay Ship & Yacht Finally, D. Vu reminded the Commissioners that the AB 1234 ethics training needs to be completed by the end of calendar year 2006. 12.

Oral Communications (Any person may address the Committee in regard to any matter over which the Commission has jurisdiction or of which it may take cognizance that is not on the agenda.) None 4. Written Communications Staff will obtain the artist list, sent by Mary Oliver, from the City of Emeryville. An art consultant compiled the list. The list will be included on July's agenda. 5. Old Business A. Update on Alameda West Gateway and the Theater and Parking/Garage Projects from Jennifer Ott of Development Services - (Discussion Item) - Jennifer Ott, Development Manager from Development Services Department, stated that an application for artwork on the parking structure facing Santa Clara Avenue had been submitted to Alameda Recreation & Parks. The artwork would consist of a temporary mural, using billboard technology. The installation of the art would coincide with the building of the garage. The billboard would be vinyl and the dimensions would be left to the discretion of the Public Art Advisory Committee. The art would be digitally transferred and could be reproduced and placed in a different location. Ms. Ott explained that the piece could last up to or exceed two years, since it would be facing north. She went on to state that there had been previous discussions about using a historical picture; however, a more contemporary image was requested. CM Wolfe asked what the project budget would be. Ms. Ott stated that the budget would be $10,000. CM Wolfe expressed his concern that the Public Art be accessible to the public, even those who do not pay $7.00 to enter the theater. His understanding was that the Development Services Department was going to allot Public Art funds for the restoration of the theater, and that it should be done in a publicly accessible area. C Huston asked if the work would be displayed on a single panel or on multi-panels. Ms. Ott stated that the issue was open to discussion; however, the installation specifications would need to PAAC Meeting 2 Minutes June 23, 2005 | PublicArtCommission/2005-06-23.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2008-02-13.pdf,6 | PublicArtCommission | 2008-02-13 | 6 | 4-D. (Formerly 4-A) Public Art Ordinance Ms. Huston read from the report and liked the ideas. Mr. Wolfe said that he and Ms. Lee looked over the ordinance and looked at other surrounding communities' ordinances and what they say about public art contributions. Ms. Lee brought up the discussion she had in the subcommittee and that they wanted to eliminate the cap. They thought that it might be politically unfeasible to eliminate the cap but raising it might be an option. Ms. Huston brought up her meeting with the mayor and people from City Council. Three issues came up in the meeting; first was eliminating the cap, second was creating explicit language that would require space developments to contribute 1% for each space and the third was reviewing which residential projects are eligible for contribution and considering expanding the scope. Ms. Rosenberg didn't want to put the burden of public art on developers who were building less than five units but anything more than that they should be subject to the requirements. Ms. Huston wanted to look at the list of every project over $250,000 to see what kinds of developments are happening. She asked if it is something that should go to the City Attorney to see if they can add or change the language of the ordinance to deal with phased development. Mr. Biggs clarified that phased projects were larger developments. Mr. Wolfe pointed out that neither San Francisco nor Oakland has a cap or a private contribution requirement. Ms. Huston's thought on eliminating the cap is that they are the advocates in the system and that they should let the people who have a better understanding for the business side deal with it but the commission recommends eliminating the cap. They would also welcome Ms. Woodbury's input on the timing and any thoughts she would have that would facilitate the improvement of the ordinance. Mr. Biggs recommended asking staff to draft an ordinance that would incorporate the changes being discussed. Ms. Lee read from the ordinance and pointed out that no mo… | PublicArtCommission/2008-02-13.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2005-02-24.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2005-02-24 | 2 | 4. Written Communications None. 5. Old Business A. Continued Discussion of Public Art Annual Plan - (Discussion/Action Item) Director Ota discussed that PAAC should prioritize issues that are most important in the Annual Plan. C Huston asked when the Plan should be presented to the City Council. Director Ota stated that it could be presented during July 2005 (new fiscal year). C Huston wanted to clarify that the Annual Plan being developed is for 2004-2005, six (6) months behind schedule. One issue that could be addressed would be to raise the 1% or $150,000 cap. CM Wolfe stated that the cap is unfair to smaller developers; since they pay one-percent and larger developers only pay $150,000. CM Rosenberg suggested that the Plan include short and long-term goals, including the PAAC's communication with non-profits. C Huston stated that she would like to move from draft-form of the Plan to a working document; this would include having agendas that reflect the Committee's top priorities. She went on to ask Staff to provide an easel and pad of large paper for PAAC to write down ideas; Staff stated that could be done. Director Ota explained that there is a discrepancy in the definition of the Public Art Allocation requirement for renovation projects. The building official is interpreting it technically and the two departments are not in agreement. RS Russi stated that the phrase in question is "50% of the replacement cost of the building" (30-65.3c). In doing research with the City Attorney's office and looking at other cities' ordinances, it appears that either an added definition or simpler, more direct language should be incorporated. Staff will come back to PAAC with samples once they are agreed upon by Building and Recreation Departments and the City Attorney's Office. - Mission Statement PAAC members discussed specific wording for Alameda Public Art Program's mission statement. VC Lee stated that the mission statement should include a short, punchy sentence with objectives. Staff will work to compile all suggesti… | PublicArtCommission/2005-02-24.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.

Alameda Towne Center Chair inquired as to why two different drafts of the proposal were issued. Tad was given a draft for his review that encouraged his edits and comments when the commission did not feel that was his position. Staff explained that Tad received a different draft per previous discussions and agreement between Andrew and Tad. Prior discussions regarding the "Brown Act" and discussions with the Commissioner resulted in the special review of only C Huston and Tad review the draft at this time. C Rosenberg requested they be given a copy of the draft upon completion for the PAC to review. Staff agreed to distribute to the entire commission upon completed draft. Commission requested written communication upon next meeting for review. Commission and staff agreed. C/VC/CM/Staff Approved (4) - Huston, Lee, Rosenberg, Wolfe Absent (1) - Cervantes 7. Subcommittee Reports A. Theater and Garage Project SC met with the City/Client and reviewed the current two submitted artist murals however, the council was not impressed with the current selections. They didn't feel the work was the artist strongest or best selections. They requested Jennifer Ott attend the council meeting in the future and supply the committee with additional artist for review and consideration. Jennifer and Staff will review the artist concepts and context of murals prior to the review of the SC. SC recommended the artist have a stronger and more narrative "pitch". Staff will check with Jennifer Ott and the artist prior to the sub-proposal. SC discussed that the Garage piece is a temporary canvas. Staff will confirm with Jennifer Ott regarding permanent nature of piece. 8. Commissioner Communications C Huston asked about the status of "Bridge Side". Staff stated project was recently assigned to him and current status unknown. Commissioner stated they previously made recommendations upon the "early" sketches that the PUC stay in contact with the commission, but no contact has been kept. There was also e… | PublicArtCommission/2006-07-26.pdf |

Continued Discussion of Public Art Annual Plan - (Discussion/Action Item) PAAC reviewed and revised draft of Public Art Annual Plan. Staff will make revisions and CAS Bailey will e-mail PAAC members latest draft. C Huston stated that PAAC would probably need to create subcommittees to draft responses to developers, including input from other members. RS Russi stated that PAAC could tell the applicant that the item will be voted on during the next month's meeting. CM Wolfe asked AD Lillard how far ahead other Committees and Commissions plan. AD Lillard stated that the average is a year ahead. RS Russi asked PAAC to clarify "fact-checking" art consultants. C Huston stated that some of the consultants on the list are simply not art consultants. Someone needs to call all of the listed consultants and verify that they really are art consultants. - Continued Development of Mission Statement - (Discussion Item) CM Cervantes suggested that a subcommittee work on finalizing the Mission Statement. C Huston asked if CM Cervantes would like to work on it with another member. CM Cervantes stated that she would work on it with anyone. CM Wolfe stated that he would help in finalizing the final draft. B. Discussion and review of Public Art Documents and Forms - (Discussion Item) - RFP/RFQ PAAC members made revisions to the document. Staff will make revisions and return draft for further review. CM Cervantes suggested that the Request For Proposals be divided into two (2) sections: 1) the City provides the information and 2) the applicant submits the information. C Huston suggested the following: 1) City and Project Information, and 2) Applicant's Information. C Huston stated that it would not be inappropriate to ask an artist for a price list of past works along with his/her resume. C. Library Update - (Discussion Item) RS Russi shared that Staff met with Susan Hardie, Friends of the Library, and the Library Foundation.

Appoint Subcommittee for the Theater and Garage Development Project - (Discussion/Action Item) RS Russi explained that the goal is to have the Theater and Garage Project completed during early 2007. The restoration of the historical theater will take longer than the new complex components, but all will be opened at the same time. Dorene Soto is the Development Services Lead Person on this project. CM Cervantes and CM Rosenberg expressed interest in being on the Sub-Committee. CM Cervantes stated that College of Alameda students might be involved with the oral history of the theater space.

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. The assessment/evaluation should be interactive and include public opinion. 4. An announcement/identification of public art projects in a dedicated page on the City's website. Press releases should also be prepared for newly completed public art projects. Finally, the Commission agreed that a subcommittee will do the prioritization of the aforementioned items. The Commission then confirmed the Artist Directory was not useful due to the limited number of listed artists and that it was too cumbersome to consistently ensure it is current… | PublicArtCommission/2006-11-29.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2005-11-30.pdf,5 | PublicArtCommission | 2005-11-30 | 5 | A revised list of Art Organizations was given to the PAC for review. The revised list contains art organizations throughout California. In comparison, the revised list saves $170.00 in postage per mailing. C Huston expressed a concern that a letter sent to some of the included organizations would be a letter lost. She stated that one of the PAC members should take the lead and find the appropriate organizations. She suggested that either CM Rosenberg or herself assume this task. 6. New Business A. Update on Washington Park Recreation Building - (Oral Report) A conceptual drawing of the new Recreation Building at Washington Park was presented at the September 15 meeting of the Recreation & Park Commission. Patrick Russi, Recreation Supervisor, stated that ARPD would come before the PAC in early 2006 to present their plan for public art on the site. B. Update on Harbor Island Community Center - (Oral Report) Barbara Price represents Kennedy Wilson, the new owners of the Harbor Island Apartments. The complex will be market-rate, family-oriented apartments. Buildings will have upgraded textures and materials; buildings will no longer be flat along the top. Residents should be back in the units by the end of the first quarter 2006. Ms. Price asserts that Kennedy Wilson is committed to the arts. They asked the College of Alameda for a referral, in hopes of commissioning an artist to create a freestanding sculpture. They have also adopted Chipman Middle School. The Clubhouse/Community Center has been submitted for approval. It will be 6000 sq. ft. in total: 4000 for public space and 1500 for leasing office and restrooms (for pool). The Clubhouse is anticipated to open by October 2006. C Huston inquired as to whether the community center will be for the public, or only for residents of the complex.

Consideration of 2005 Meeting Dates - (Discussion/Action Item) RS Russi inquired about the fourth Thursday of the month as a possible meeting date. C Huston stated that this would fit her schedule, at least through June; PAAC members agreed. CAS Bailey will send out the dates and meeting locations via e-mail. B. Continued discussion of Public Art Annual Plan - (Discussion/Action Item) CM Rosenberg shared that she would like to see the program goals, from the Guidelines, worked into a Mission Statement. RSM Lillard stated that if the PAAC chose a couple of goals, then staff could draft a short Mission Statement. C Huston asked that each member choose the goals they'd want to see in the Mission. CM Cervantes shared that "supporting the promotion of arts in Alameda; in order to provide the Community with art opportunities" is important. CM Rosenberg shared that "promoting a diverse and stimulating cultural environment, and strengthening cultural awareness, innovative thinking, lifelong learning and the City's sense of community" should be highlighted. VC Lee chose "Public art integrates the vision of artists and design professionals in planning and designing the urban landscape." VC Lee asked whether the PAAC would be dealing with physical objects or contributing to the operating costs and salaries of local non-profits. RS Russi stated that it would be up to the PAAC. C Huston stated that she would be more inclined to have more interesting art pieces throughout the City, rather than supporting the existing non-profits. CM Rosenberg stated that it would be difficult to monitor funds provided to non-profit organizations for the purposes of supporting ongoing operation and staff costs. RSM Lillard shared that a number of organizations that provide grants have strict guidelines detailing how the funding may be used. Most tend to emphasize the program or service to be provided while attempting to avoid evaluating the particular non-profit themselves.

Update on Alameda Towne Centre - (Discussion Item) - Tad Savinar, Art Consultant, Harsch Investment Properties Tad Savinar updated the PAC on public art at Alameda Towne Centre. He expressed a desire to clarify some issues that arose during a previous phone conversation with the PAC. He displayed two life-size drafts of panels for the John Laursen Project. He explained that the artist has visited Alameda in order to conduct research. The panels will be full color (tonation of the era), baked enamel; each will have title block. The artist will likely start the project with twelve panels, with hopes of adding more. 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. C Huston stated that the project does not have to tell all the stories of Alameda; it does not have to be all things to all people.… | PublicArtCommission/2005-11-30.pdf |

PublicArtCommission/2005-01-18.pdf,5 | PublicArtCommission | 2005-01-18 | 5 | C Huston expressed her hesitation in rushing to use money from the Fund. CM Rosenberg echoed her sentiment that the Committee would not want to make hasty decisions about the money. CM Wolfe stated that there are so many organizations and so few developers; the developers might become antagonized by all the groups seeking money. VC Lee also expressed her concern over how the PAAC would establish an organization's value, if they were to offer grants for non-profits. C. Role of Committee Members serving as representatives to public art projects - (Discussion Item) RSM Lillard stated that PAAC members, serving on other subcommittees, would report to PAAC at their next scheduled meeting (e.g., CM Wolfe will attend the Park and Webster Streetscape Project meeting, and will then report to the PAAC). 7. Oral Communications, General CM Wolfe inquired about the concept of gifts and donations. RSM Lillard stated that this was the first time in 17 years that a citizen had approached the Department about donating art and PAAC could look at this at a later date. CAS Bailey shared that a file on Gifts and Donations is being compiled. RS Russi updated the PAAC on Tad Savinar, Art Consultant for Harsch Development. Due to a setback in the developer's conceptual plan, the development and placement of art has been delayed. Despite this setback, Mr. Savinar is familiarizing himself with local artists. 8.

The organizations can then publicize it to their membership base. CM Rosenberg suggested two organizations, Pro Arts and San Francisco Arts Commission; C Huston suggested Art in America (AIA), Oakland Art Gallery, and other professional artist gathering spots. PAAC discussed the items that should be requested in the RFQ. C Huston suggested that an artist submit only five (5) slides, ten (10) to twenty (20) for the RFP. The slides should be 35 mm in plastic or cardboard covers, no stick on labels; CD's and DVD's will also be accepted. The RFQ can also request the artist's resume, which includes education, exhibits, collections, and a list of where they have shown; a slide scrip will also be requested. CM Rosenberg suggested that a cover letter, letter of interest, and artist statement also be included. The artist would also be given the option to include additional support materials. C Huston expressed her approval of this procedure, because an artist is being chosen, not a project. RS Russi stated that Development Services Department and the Webster Street Subcommittee would fill-in the blanks on the RFQ. VC Lee stated that California artists are eligible for this project. C Huston stated that she would like to be on a subcommittee for the fact checking of art consultants. She inquired as to how soon the information is needed. VC Lee stated that it would be needed immediately, since CM Wolfe would like to see the piece completed and installed by December 1st. C Huston inquired as to when the RFQ for the Webster Street Project would be needed. RS Russi stated that Sue Russell wants it to go out by the end of May. C Huston and CM Rosenberg volunteered to look over an existing list of artists and consultants and to add any appropriate art organizations and publications.

PublicArtCommission/2017-02-15.pdf,4 | PublicArtCommission | 2017-02-15 | 4 | Chair Hoy asked if local preference would therefore be a tiebreaker. Ms. Gehrke stated that it could. Commissioner Gillitt asked for clarification on how the locations would be chosen - would locations be evaluated against each other as a batch, or would it be piecemeal as locations were available. Ms. Gehrke responded if the PAC chooses to determine the locations for artwork prior to the release of an RFP, then locations would be evaluated as a group. If the PAC decides to let the artists submit locations - as recommended by staff - then artists would suggest locations as part of the proposal process. The PAC would then evaluate their proposals as a batch, based on both the artwork and the location they've chosen. Commissioner Hoy asked if recommendations could be given tonight. Ms. Gehrke responded that they could, or if the PAC needs more time they could meet again next month to give recommendations. The Commissioners asked staff what would be the best way to summarize the PAC's recommendations to the City Council. Mr. Tai summarized the Commission's comments. He stated that there was consensus on removing the requirement that art be tied to the City's historic or maritime traditions, but also concern that we don't want art that's totally unrelated to the City. So, the recommendation would be to add some requirement in the placemaking category that the art be related to Alameda. Ms. Butler suggested that relationship to Alameda be broken out as an individual criteria, with its own points. Commissioner Gillitt suggested that placemaking be reduced to 10%, local preference increased to 10%, and a new criteria added relating the artwork to Alameda, including historic or maritime themes, at 5%. Other Commissioners agreed. Mr. Tai stated that the next point was a question about maintenance, and how to ensure that maintenance needs and costs are brought to light. He suggested using the same criteria we currently have for on-site art to evaluate durability and maintenance needs. Mr. Tai also noted that the proposed c… | PublicArtCommission/2017-02-15.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2007-07-26.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2007-07-26 | 2 | Chair Huston called for a review of the May 23, 2007 meeting minutes. After reviewing the minutes Chair Huston offered following the amendments to the May 23, 2007 meeting minutes. Vice Chair Lee motioned to approve the May 23, 2007 minutes, as amended. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Speaker slips were filled out by the following members of the community; Annette Mike Sheppard REGULAR AGENDA A. Discussion and Recommendation Regarding Public Art Plan B. Discussion of Amendments to the Public Art Ordinance Doug Vu presented to the commission with a 2007-2009 Public Art Plan for review and approval either now or at a later date. The commission reviewed the plan and suggested changes to the order of the objectives and projects. Doug informed the commission that Cathy Woodbury would like to attend the next meeting to discuss more about the work plan and the grant programs. Chair Huston stated that the commission is not intending to amend the ordinance to increase the contribution, but to amend the ordinance to equalize the contribution so that larger developers have an equal contribution to smaller businesses. The commission is looking at moving the cap not increasing the contribution at this time. The Grant Program was also discussed and must go before City Council in December. Doug suggested that the commission prioritize the work plan, commission agreed. There was discussion on moving forward before the new members join next month. Michael suggested redefining the ordinance in regards to the Grant program, Chair Huston suggested that amending or creating a second shelf so that there is the Public Arts Ordinance and the cultural grants that would be possible for local community art. Because of the concerns of the commission with co-mingling of funds there was a suggestion that there be a separate arts commission apposed to the current commission. | PublicArtCommission/2007-07-26.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2007-03-28.pdf,3 | PublicArtCommission | 2007-03-28 | 3 | Chair Huston clarified that the Commission is the filter by which the city acquires art and they do not get to select the art. They make sure the art is in public view. Ms. Woodbury suggested that people who are interested in public art take a look at the projects that are going to the Planning Board, go to the meetings and get involved in the developments. Chair Huston suggested creating a proposal for curatorial management and the in lieu fund could pay for this. Ms. Woodbury responded by clarifying that the in lieu fund could not be used for a curator but rather for hardware to hang pictures, etc. Ms. Burnett asked if the Commission gives developers a list of artists to choose from. Chair Huston responded by clarifying that the Commission cannot give specific names to avoid a conflict of interest. The amphitheater at the Bridgeside Shopping Center was mentioned. The general consensus was that the finished project was not what was proposed and that it is not suitable for most of the events that were proposed such as musical acts and literary readings. Ms. Woodbury clarified the role of the planning department and that they make sure the art for a project is feasible and they make sure the project is built according to the plans that were approved. Commissioner Wolfe clarified that the Commission only approves concepts and not plans. Mr. Vu stated that the developers at Bridgeside are required to submit an annual programming plan and when finished, an on-site manager will oversee the programming plan for three years. This must be submitted to and approved by Ms. Woodbury. Chair Huston replied by saying that the developer was required to provide a useful community performance space and an audience. She expressed concern as to who will oversee the programming for the space to make sure they fulfill their obligations. It was asked if the in lieu fund could be used for existing projects. A response was given that the in lieu fund cannot be used for existing projects, only new projects. Ms. Burnett offered her servic… | PublicArtCommission/2007-03-28.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2007-09-27.pdf,6 | PublicArtCommission | 2007-09-27 | 6 | Chair Huston said that success breeds success. Ms. Woodbury provided some suggestions on how to develop the program. She said that the "who" should be refined and what kind of things the grants should fund. Chair Huston brought up that the mission is the first thing. She wants it to be community based and referred back to the criteria she gave earlier. Commissioner Rosenberg said that because of what was said, it is about the whole of the community. Chair Huston said that she hears two sides. She stated three goals: 1. Support the arts community 2. Elevating the level of art within that community 3. Expanding art to the public, making it accessible to the public in general Commissioner Rosenberg responded to the statement of elevating the level of art is the intellectualism of it and is afraid of marginalizing some. She feels that it is not necessary. Chair Huston asked for a mission statement. Vice-Chair Lee gave a statement for the grants "to include the richness of the community in an arts program, which would develop existing resources and make them available or accessible to the greater community," so that you don't have to be an artist to enjoy it. Chair Huston responded by saying that she wouldn't mind including examples of how some things should not be set in stone. Commissioner Rosenberg talked about economic viability and how it could bring in revenue. A cultural arts center could be a great thing for the community and wants that put in the mission statement. Vice-Chair Lee responded by saying that $50,000 could easily be spent to raise money for a $500,000 brick and mortar venue. Commissioner Wolfe brought up what some one had said about the catalyst and the seed capital. Chair Huston responded to Mr. Wolfe by saying that there should be no limit to how little a grant can be. Commissioner Rosenberg suggested starting small but having larger goals and plans. Commissioner Wolfe said that it should be about stimulating public art in the community. He wants to broaden the reach of the program. He thinks th… | PublicArtCommission/2007-09-27.pdf |

PublicArtCommission/2018-08-16.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2018-08-16 | 2 | Chairman Hoy asked how the funding was found. Ms. Butler stated that funds are only eligible for Tidelands activity and recreational use to attract visitors. The Tidelands lead within the Community Development Department located the qualifying funds. Commissioner Farrell wanted to confirm whether or not the proposed locations of the art will be the same. He specifically spoke about the "Bronze Squid" and its placement, as its proposed location seemed industrial to him. Ms. Gehrke confirmed they would be in the same location. The commission debated whether or not the proposed location is fit, while being a unique opportunity due to the discovery of funding. The thought of potentially physically moving the art in the future was presented, but it may have to go back to Council in order to recommend a different site. Commissioner Rush asked if the Tidelands grounds are maintained. Ms. Butler confirmed that they are maintained, as the location is on City property. Since the area is desolate, the commission would like to confirm that it wouldn't be subject to vandalism. Ms. Gehrke stated they could revisit maps to be certain the art is in a good area once they take it to council without a specified location. Rossella Scapini - Artist and creator of the "Bronze Squid" Ms. Scapini is open to reposition the location of artwork as she proposed 4-5 different locations in her application. Ms. Scapini stated she did want her piece to be showcased by the water. In regard to the location, the Commission agreed that if this piece were to be near the Dragon, a full Art Walk could be possible. Chairman Hoy wanted to confirm that artists would be able to speak at the Council meeting, should the Councilmembers have questions. Ms. Butler confirmed they must complete a Speaker Slip to do so. He asked the artists to be available and they confirmed they would. Ms. Butler explained what the "consent calendar" meant and the process for the Commission's understanding. Chairman Hoy made the motion to recommend the Tidelands funding, Commiss… | PublicArtCommission/2018-08-16.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2018-02-28.pdf,3 | PublicArtCommission | 2018-02-28 | 3 | Chairperson Hoy moved and Commissioner Farrell seconded a $25,000 grant to West End Arts and Entertainment District for Animate Dance Festival. The motion carried 4-0. Chairperson Hoy requested that staff report back as soon as possible with recommendations on rereleasing categories not forwarded to the City Council for funding. Lois Butler stated that staff will return with a report at the next meeting. Chairperson Hoy moved and Commissioner Gillitt seconded to not award a grant in the $15,000 category. The motion carried 4-0. Chairperson Hoy moved and Commissioner Farrell seconded a $7,500 grant to Sacred Profane, A Chamber Chorus for The American Landscape, a visual and performing arts presentation. The motion carried 4-0. Chairperson Hoy moved and Commissioner Farrell seconded to not award a grant in the $5,000 grant category. The motion carried 4-0. 5. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS Ms. Butler provided an update on the vacant Public Art Commission seat. She indicated that the Mayor was interviewing candidates and plans to nominate one at the March 6, 2018 meeting. 6. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS There was no written communications. 7.

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 |

Approved (5) - Huston, Lee, Cervantes, Rosenberg, and Wolfe B. Consideration of funding of art centers by the Public Art Allocation - (Discussion Item) Pat Colburn, President and founder of the Alameda Art Center, addressed PAAC members on behalf of the AAC. She stated that the Center has been open for eight months and has 160 members. She expressed the Center's struggle to obtain funding as a non-profit 501 (c) 3. She inquired as to whether or not Public Art Fund monies could be allocated to local non-profits. She also mentioned that she had contacted Harsch Development about their one percent. Meeting attendee, Marilyn Pomeroy, was part of the group that drafted the original Public Art Ordinance. She thought that the in-lieu fund was meant to go towards grant proposals, and that the PAAC was developed to handle these grants. CM Rosenberg stated that the role of the PAAC is to see that the quality of artwork meets a certain quality level. Ms. Pomeroy inquired as to what the PAAC thought about local non- profits writing proposals directly to developers. C Huston stated that their proposals would inevitably end up in front of the PAAC for approval. VC Lee expressed concerns over non-profits being pitted against each other for limited funds. In addition, it could also lead to friends and relatives of the developers unfairly lobbying for funds. Ms. Pomeroy asked if Harsch Development had already set aside its one percent for onsite art. RSM Lillard stated that they have an art consultant and plan to exceed the one percent. The develope… | PublicArtCommission/2005-01-18.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2018-10-15.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2018-10-15 | 2 | Commission are also needed to join the Cultural Art Selection panel. Ms. Gehrke outlined the process for selecting the finalists for the grants. Commissioners asked clarifying questions. Commissioner Farrell wanted to confirm whether or not the panelists were required to be Alameda residents and if the proposals were for cultural or physical art. He also wanted to know if the selection panel was limited to two PAC members or not. Ms. Gehrke confirmed that coincidentally all applicants are Alameda residents, but this is not a requirement and the proposals are only for cultural art. She verified that there can only be two PAC members on the panel. Chairman Hoy explained the reasoning behind his selection of panelists. He suggested that the alternates be Rose Meyers and Michael Singman-Aste. The commission reviewed the alternate's experience. They all agreed that their background in cultural art is strong. Commissioner Lewis asked if dates for meeting were set, Ms. Gehrke confirmed the first date. Commissioner Farrell and Commissioner Rush volunteered to sit on the Cultural Arts Selection panel. Chairman Hoy requested a motion, Commissioner Gillitt made a motion to appoint the three panelists and two alternates. Commissioner Rush seconded. Motion passed 5-0. 5. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS Ms. Gehrke provided upcoming development projects subject to the Public Art requirement. She explained the requirements for the developers. The updates on this topic will become a regular agenda item. Lewis asked when the developer would be required to fulfill their obligation to Public Art requirement. Butler explained not until their certificate of occupancy is complete. Ms. Butler and Ms. Gehrke will follow up with developers on how they will proceed. They reviewed past projects. Ms. Butler revisited how much interest is in the Public Art Fund. She stated that from 2007 to present there is $20,690.56. She will review the balance for the Commission.

PublicArtCommission/2017-02-15.pdf,3 | PublicArtCommission | 2017-02-15 | 3 | Commissioner Gillitt stated that he supports adding a page to the City's website including the RFP, a map of existing public art in Alameda, and other resources. Ms. Gehrke responded that, in response to public comment at the previous meeting, staff has updated the website to include a list of public art in Alameda, as well as the presentation from the January community meeting. She stated that the RFP will also be posted there when it is released. Commissioner Graham suggested that social media would also be a good way to advertise the RFP. Mr. Tai noted that the City has been soliciting updates to the City's artist directory, and that staff has been receiving a lot of updates via email. Commissioner Graham asked, in regards to maintenance, how the City will ensure that property owners understand the maintenance requirements associated with their artwork. Ms. Gehrke responded that, as part of the artist's final product, they will have to produce a maintenance plan detailing the specific steps necessary to maintain the artwork. The property owner would then have to sign an agreement to take care of the artwork according to the maintenance plan. Commissioner Graham asked if artists would be required to specify costs in the maintenance plan. Ms. Gehrke said they would. Mr. Tai added that, for on-site public art, durability of materials and ease of maintenance is one of the evaluation criteria, and maintenance costs are often included in the budget. Ms. Gehrke stated that the draft RFP is open to both temporary and permanent artwork. Commissioner Gillitt asked if there are any additional contributions anticipated for the Public Art Fund. Ms. Gehrke replied that, historically, most developers have decided to do their artwork on-site. Over the 14 year lifetime of the fund, the average balance of the Fund has been around $62,000. Chair Hoy asked how the evaluation criteria could be modified to add more weight to local preference. Ms. Gehrke replied that it could come out of budget or placemaking. Chair Hoy stated that … | PublicArtCommission/2017-02-15.pdf |

Motion (Cervantes)/Second (Leal) to continue the item to the next regular meeting to allow Commissioner Leal to photograph the plaque on the public art at Alameda Towne Centre. The photographs would then be distributed to the Board for review at its next meeting. Ayes: 5; Noes: 0. Motion passed. (4B.) Archiving Public Art and identifying Appropriate Areas for Public Art in Alameda A Subcommittee of the Public Art Commission was selected to draft a press release and then route a draft of the press release to Jon Biggs in order to have it reviewed by the appropriate City departments. Commissioner Lee noted the importance of including those who had their public art projects reviewed by the Commission in this process. Commissioner Ibsen said a data base would be helpful in identifying future public art locations. Commissioners indicated they had provided the locations of all public art they were aware of and it would be helpful to enlist the public in identifying other locations. A press release to enlist the help of the public was suggested. Motion (Lee)/Second (Candelario) to continue the item to a future meeting to allow a subcommittee of the Public Arts Commission to draft a press release requesting the public's assistance in identifying existing public art locations that staff could have reviewed by appropriate City departments. Ayes: 5; Noes: 0. Motion passed. Subcommittee: Commissioners Leal and Ibsen (4C). Discussion on Development of Artist Resource List The Commission discussed what should be included in the resource list but noted that keeping such a list up-to-date would require significant resources. Commissioner Ibsen suggested that a web based resource list would be the best approach because it could be updated without need of printing new copies of the documen… | PublicArtCommission/2008-08-13.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.

PublicArtCommission/2018-06-18.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2018-06-18 | 2 | Commissioner Rush clarified the location of an installation and access to the location. After clarifying questions from the commissioners, the artists in the $150,000 and $50,000 categories described their art. Each artist had 5 minutes for their presentation. They were asked to describe their inspiration behind the art and to detail the materials to be used. The commission also asked questions to confirm safety precautions for certain works and fees needed to secure BCDC permitting fees. Ms. Gehrke and Ms. Butler explained the fees will have to be revisited, once staff has additional information. The Commission asked if any speakers from the $25,000 level wanted to present their art, there were none. Although, Ms. Gehrke clarified that they were not required to do so, per the RFP. The commissioners stated they are happy with the fact they were able to view the proposed installation's location and how this helps assists with decision making. The importance of public exposure was also discussed. Ms. Gehrke explained that the outcome of models that aren't selected will have to be reviewed at a later time, as some ideas have been formulated. Chairman Hoy made a motion to accept the selection panel's recommendations rather than score the pieces as a commission. Commissioner Rush seconded. The motion passed 4-1, Farrell opposed. A commissioner recommended relocating "The Rockspinner" installation from Bay Farm to Jean Sweeny. A motion was made and seconded for relocating that installation Rockspinner to Jean Sweeny Park. The motion carried 5-0. The Commission's recommendations will be forwarded to City Council for appropriation of grant funding. 4-B 2018-5678: 2018 Cultural Art and Arts Programming Request For Proposals.

PublicArtCommission/2018-04-04.pdf,3 | PublicArtCommission | 2018-04-04 | 3 | Commissioner Rush suggested four $5,000 awards, Commissioner Farrell would like to see smaller awards and suggested ten $2,000 awards. Farrell suggested a survey, Rush agreed. Acting Chairperson Lewis moved to accept the proposal to survey to inform the levels of award amounts. Commissioner Rush second the motion. The motion carried 4-0. Ms. Butler indicated staff will put together a survey and report back to the Commission. Ms. Gehrke asked for direction on the process for interaction with the proposers. Commissioner Farrell indicated that interaction should happen in writing or in person after the initial meeting of the panel. Commissioner Gillitt agreed that there should be an additional step in the process. Commissioner Gillitt moved that there should be an additional step in the process between the initial review with the selection panel and the awarding of grants by the Commission. The intermediate step could be in writing, by email, or an in person interview. The survey should include questions on the type of interaction preferred. Acting Chairperson Lewis second the motion. The motion carried 4-0. Commissioner Farrell asked what would be the lowest amount of the grants. Commissioner Gillitt prefers to see a range of amounts from $200 to $500. Commissioner Farrell suggested that the survey inform the Commissioner second the motion. Speaker Wes Warren asked if the survey was going to the general public. Commissioner Farrell said it was only going to the Arts Community. Speaker Wes Warren suggested that the Commissioners just pick an amount. Acting Chairperson Lewis asked if there were any other questions or discussion. Commissioner Farrell asked if we answered the questions asked by the public speakers. Commissioner Rush indicated that there was a question on timeframes. Ms. Gehrke indicated that there is no timeframe for the next release. She indicated that our next steps are designing the survey, then going back to the PAC with a proposed RFP and releasing the RFP soon after it is approved by the PAC.

PublicArtCommission/2018-08-16.pdf,3 | PublicArtCommission | 2018-08-16 | 3 | Commissioner Rush then asked for clarification on why we would need to include them in City Hall's program. Ms. Gehrke believes this platform could expose a new market to the participating organizations. Commissioner Farrell wanted to confirm what type of art is included in the guidelines. Ms. Gehrke confirmed that the guidelines state that all artwork must be hang-able on a wall. Commissioner Rush asked how many artist participate at a time. Ms. Gehrke confirmed there are 2 artists at a time between floors for each installation. The Commission inquired on whether or not a theme could be implemented into the programming schedule. Ms. Butler stated that maybe too extensive at the moment. Ms. Gehrke shared the same sentiment but said there could be be a theme. The hesitation surfaces around inclusion and who would judge the potential appropriation. Ms. Gehrke and Ms. Butler offered to schedule a working session and create a subcommittee to decrease staff burden in regard to administering themes. Chairman Hoy offered a motion, but Ms. Gehrke confirmed no recommendation was needed. This conversation was primarily for the Commission's input. 5. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS Ms. Butler will order business cards for the Commission, given they are provided a City of Alameda email address. The Commission agreed to accept the email addresses. Ms. Butler announced there is a new Administrative Technician in the Economic Development department, Kelli Chinn. She alerted them that Kelli will contact the Commission for scheduling meetings and she will take meeting minutes. Ms. Gehrke assured the Commission that the report about upcoming developments subject to the Public Art Requirement will be complete by the meeting in October as the ordinance's definition requires some further research. Ms. Butler will also have an answer about interest rates at October's meeting, due to the current books closing.

Alameda Towne Centre History Panels - Tad Savinar Mr. Savinar gave an update of the progress of the art installation at Alameda Towne Center. Mr. John Larson spoke about the panels being installed at Alameda Towne Centre. He described the panels and talked about the frustrating work behind them. Chair Huston expressed sympathy for his frustration. Commissioner Rosenberg spoke to the requirements and felt that the Commission could not impose "diversity' requirements for artwork. Commissioner Wolfe mentioned the economic disparity and that some people had cameras and could take pictures, some of which would end up in the pictorial record. Mr. Larson mentioned that the people with farms didn't have cameras and didn't take pictures therefore there is little or no record of the diversity of Alameda. Mr. Savinar asked what they were envisioning so he could respond to the request. Commissioner Wolfe responded by saying that a short description of the project and artist would be helpful. Mr. Chuck Millar expressed concern that the Commission was unfairly criticizing the panels. The Commission clarified that it is their job to ask questions of the artists to make sure they consider all possibilities when creating a public art project. 6. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS: 7.

Commissioner Lee brought up the fact that in the past the meeting schedule was based on when the commissioners were available. Commissioner Rosenberg stated that it would have been better for staff to ask first before making the calendar. Mr. Vu stated that staff created the schedule with the consideration of all the other activity happening in the department.

Chair Huston brought up the on-site public art and the memo and felt that it was a misnomer. She referred to the memo and what it says about the Commission and that they are being called upon to apply the funds available to public art and they need not apply it to a specific piece or location, its wide open. She mentioned the Alameda Municipal Code and the section that says that money left over after administrative fees be distributed to the City for on- site public art. She also mentioned that the amount available as of September 2007 is approximately $45,295. She read the memo and suggested that the annual plan be amended to include that the money be spent or applied to the purchase or expenses of public art in Alameda. She proposed a movement to amend the annual plan include a line item to apply the available funds to public art within the next year. She thinks that they should not name the number but rather the source. Mr. Arrants asked about the percentages Ms. Huston clarified that since the funds for administrative duties be spent on art since it had not been used. Mr. Wolfe talked about the specific locations that could have an impact on Park and Webster Streets. He wanted to designate the money to art at the tube. He feels that it is critical that they place art at the entries to the tubes and feels that it would benefit the community if they could make the association with culture upon entering the city.

ORAL COMMUNICATION None 3. REGULAR AGENDA: 3-A. Discussion of request to City Council Mr. Jeff Cambra thanked the commission for all the work they have done. He said that Arts Alameda is prepared to draft the public arts grants program criteria, but wanted to give everyone a chance to express their opinions. Ms. Huston thanked Mr. Cambra for his comments. 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.

She presented a few alternatives, suggested by staff, and in part based on feedback from the selection panels on how the monies not awarded could be re-released, and how the RFP could be updated to reflect learnings. The two main subject items were: Funding increments - smaller grant amounts Interactive feedback with the selection panel and the proposers Commissioners asked clarifying questions. Public Speaker(s) (paraphrased comments): Collin Blake: A common lament during the interim of time when the monies were not being distributed was that the monies were just trapped.

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.

PublicArtCommission/2005-11-30.pdf,3 | PublicArtCommission | 2005-11-30 | 3 | Lee suggested that the panel project be given a title and subtitle, in order to pull the series of images together. She went on to state that if this project were a book, it would have a title. CM Wolfe asked if ADA standards for print size and height of posted items applied to this project. Mr. Savinar stated that according to Federal Guidelines, those standards do not apply to public art. Another artist the client is considering is John Buck. He is a sculptor of human scaled pieces, who would create one or two figurative pieces cast in bronze. C Huston remarked on the similar nature of Buck's work to that of Michael Carey, an artist working with the New Main Library. Despite being similar to Carey's, C Huston stated that Buck's work does have a sophistication and complexity to it. She stated that part of the goal set by the Guidelines is to give Alameda a keen range. In closing, Mr. Savinar's assumption was that the panel project would continue with an emphasis on developing a conceptual thread. In reference to the Buck piece, Mr. Savinar understands that the piece needs to be different from the Carey piece; the pieces with stronger geometric design are intellectually more interesting. CM Wolfe thanked Mr. Savinar for coming before the PAC early on in the process. B. Presentation on Bridgeside Shopping Center - (Discussion/Action Item) - Barbara Price, CEO / PK Consultants, Inc. Barbara Price explains that PK Consultants, Inc. is involved in government and community outreach and affairs; their role is to work with the community on the process and do outreach for their clients. C Huston asked if an art consultant had been chosen for the project. Ms. Price stated that an art consultant was not hired, since her client is using existing, nautical pieces.

Update on Alameda West Gateway and the Theater and Parking/Garage Projects from Sue Russell of Development Services - (Discussion Item) Sue Russell stated that Development Services submitted a project application for the Alameda West Gateway Project to Alameda Recreation and Parks on May 5, 2005. Through discussions with RS Russi, she understood that an infrastructure project would not require Public Art. However, the project would like to set aside a contingency of $25,000 for an entryway project. The location would be as you exit the Webster Tube at Neptune Park. Currently, this location is home to concrete signage and three flags, which were installed during the early 1990's. CM Wolfe expressed two concerns: 1) interaction or conflict between what is existing and what will be placed on the site; 2) a definition of where Caltrans begins and if they have any stipulations for placing art near roadways. CM Rosenberg expressed a desire to see a playful-themed sign, reminiscent of Neptune Beach. PAAC Meeting 2 Minutes May 26, 2005 | PublicArtCommission/2005-05-26.pdf |
