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 developer sees public art as adding to the Center's appeal. C Huston shared that it might be helpful for local non-profits to submit a one-page "wish list" to the PAAC. Those submissions would help the PAAC make changes to the Guidelines in the future.
