PublicArtCommission | 2005-01-18 | 2 | A. 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. Physical pieces of art can be enjoyed by everyone when placed throughout the City. C Huston asked about the legality of issuing Public Art Fund monies to local non-profits. RSM Lillard stated that the way he understood the ordinance, funding could not be provided to non-profits for ongoing operating expenses such as staff salaries but that funding could be utilized to provide a performance, exhibition or special event. CM Cervantes inquired about using monies for appropriate exhibits. RSM Lillard stated that the in-lieu fund could be amended. CM Rosenberg asked about the possibility of deciding on a specific defined event and offering a competition for non-profits. RSM Lillard stated that PAAC could PAAC Meeting 2 Minutes Revised January 18, 2005 | PublicArtCommission/2005-01-18.pdf |
