PublicArtCommission/2020-03-10.pdf,3 | PublicArtCommission | 2020-03-10 | 3 | Minutes of the Public Art Commission Special Meeting Tuesday, March 10, 2020 expressed by the PAC in 2019. Gehrke presented the proposed changes, including: creating a tiered contribution system to incentivize developers to contribute to the art fund, allowing funds to be used for art maintenance costs, removing requirement that cultural art grants can only go to non-profit organizations, requiring developers to identify onsite versus in-lieu artwork prior to getting permits, clarifying that the maintenance agreement should be reflected in the conditions of approval, and specifying that City Council approval is only required on commissions over $75,000. Staff Member Gehrke welcomed and answered questions. Commissioners discussed the proposed amendments, including: Modifying the new construction art fund contribution rates to either: a) decrease the in-lieu contribution percentage, b) increase the onsite contribution percentage, c) both decrease the in-lieu and increase the onsite contribution percentages to maximize the incentive to contribute to in-lieu, d) specify different rates for residential and commercial construction so the residential contribution is at a lower rate, and the commercial contribution can be set lower for in-lieu and higher for onsite contributions; Removing requirement that cultural art grants can only go to non- profit organizations, while possibly designating a portion or amount for non-profit organizations; Designating a portion of the fund to be used exclusively for art maintenance; and Specifying that City Council approval is only required on commissions over $75,000 Speaker Tina Blaine shared the opinion that the City of Berkeley's tiered system's success is due to the greater differential between two contribution levels (0.8% versus 1.75%), and expressed a desire to protect non-profit organizations' access to cultural art funds when amending the ordinance. Speaker Jennifer Radakovich posed clarifying questions regarding the cultural arts portion of the fund. Staff Member Gehrke volu… | PublicArtCommission/2020-03-10.pdf |
