ROLL CALL Present: Chairman Daniel Hoy, Commissioner Mark Farrell, Commissioner Adam Gillitt, Commissioner Sherman Lewis, and Commissioner Liz Rush. Lois Butler (PAC secretary) and Amanda Gehrke are present as staff to the Commission. 2. MINUTES Chairman Hoy confirmed there is no motion to make due to June 18th's minutes not stating that the commission would like to fund all Physical Art Proposals. That revision will be added to June 18th's minutes. 3. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None. 4. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 4-A 2018-5876: Consideration of New Physical Public Art. The Public Art Commission will hold a public meeting to consider the installation of new public art located in the City of Alameda Tidelands. The proposed physical public art installations are Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. Amanda Gehrke, Economic Development Division staff gave an overview of the item. Amanda Gehrke reminded the commission of the 4 art proposals recommended to go to final approval with City Council on September 18th. She reiterated the notion of finding funding sources for the 2 remaining proposals at the $150,000 level. Those 2 proposals are to be funded by the Tidelands Fund, specifically for the improvement of the Tidelands area. Ms. Gehrke asked the Commission to recommend the funding of this artwork to City Council. If funding is recommended it will go to Council on September 18th's along with the other proposals. Commissioners asked clarifying questions. Commissioner Rush asked if there was enough money in the fund to cover the 2 pieces. Ms. Gehrke confirmed there are sufficient funds. The allocation of the requested $360,000 includes a 20% contingency. Draft Meeting Minutes 1 of 4 Public Art Commission Augu… | PublicArtCommission/2018-08-16.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 |

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. Commissioner Rush mentioned investigating its appropriateness of a logo for the Commission. Ms. Butler will have to check with the City At… | PublicArtCommission/2018-08-16.pdf |
