DISCUSSION The City's adopted Art in Public Places Program requires that 1% of the cost of all eligible City Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) be committed to public art. Once the Financial Plan is approved by Council, those funds are placed in a separate account. Because many construction projects, such as street paving, are not appropriate for public art, the CIP committee then meets to develop a recommendation for the Council as to how those funds should be allocated. The CIP committee met on November 8, 2001 and, using the following criteria, identified five projects suitable for public art: 1. Project should have high public visibility and use. 2. Project should lend itself to the inclusion of public art. 3. Project should be public art ready, meaning the project should be near or under construction and will be completed within the two year CIP. 4. The number of projects should be limited to a few in order to focus staff efforts and result in meaningful pieces of public art. The following recommendations are being presented for Council consideration: 1. City Hall Downtown Transit Center (DTC) - $19,000 to be used for artwork located in the vicinity of the DTC. 2. Railroad Museum Round-About - $19,000 to be used for artwork in the round- about located in the parking lot adjacent to the.Railroad Museum. 3. Recreation Center Remodel - $18;500 to be used for artwork at the Recreation Center. With the extent of remodeling being performed on the facility, there should be ample opportunity to include public art in the interior of the building. Council Agenda Report-2001-03 CIP Public Art Projects Page 2 4. Santa Rosa Park Renovations- $18,500 to be used for artwork in the vicinity of Santa Rosa Park 5. Metal Fish Sculpture - $1,100 to be used to repair and install the original John Augsberger metal fish sculpture that was damaged and lost in the winter storm of March 10, 1995 and recovered last spring. (Site of installation to be determined.) FISCAL IMPACT The following funding is currently available for public art projects as part of the City's CIP budget: 2001-02 II-1-63 Total GeneralFund $42,100 $347000 $76,100 The proposed funding allocation is as follows: 1. City Hall Downtown Transit Center $19,000 2. Railroad Museum Round-About $19,000 3. Recreation Center Remodel $18,500 4. Santa Rosa Park Renovations $18,500 5. Metal Fish Sculpture $1,100 Total $769100 ALTERNATIVES 1. Council could choose to redistribute funds among projects, allocating more funding than recommended for one project and less for another. Without knowing specifically at this time what form the artwork may take for any of the projects, staff does not recommend giving higher funding priority to any one project. 2. Council could choose to delete one or more projects from the recommended list and redistribute funds among the remaining projects. Using the criteria listed above, staff spent considerable time discussing and identifying appropriate CIP projects to receive public art funding. The current recommendation reflects their intent to meet the criteria and acquire the maximum amount of public art with available funding without diminishing the potential quality of the artwork received. .3. Council could review the attached list of 2001-03 CIP projects generating public art funding and select other projects from the list to receive public art. ATTACBMENTS List of 2001-03 CIP projects generating public art funds ATTACHMENT , . 2001-03 Financial Pi-a CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN PROGRAM: Cultural Activities REQUEST TITLE: Public Art Project Summary Funding public art in accordance with City's"I% for public art"policy will cost $42,100 in 2001-02 and$34,000 in 2002-03. Project Objectives Provide funding for public art in accordance with City policy. Existing Situation Under the City's public art policy, 1% of the construction component of capital improvement plan (CIP)projects is to be allocated for public art. Excluded from this 1% requirement are underground projects, utility infrastructure projects, funding from outside agencies, and costs other than construction such as study, environmental review, design, site preparation and acquisition. Generally, it is preferable for the public art component to be integrated directly into the project. However, in, some cases, this is not practical or desirable. In these circumstances, an "in-lieu" contribution may be made to a generic public art account that can be used to fund public art in conjunction with other projects or locations where it can have a greater public benefit than if it arbitrarily installed with a project to which public art was not well-suited. To ensure that funds are adequately budgeted for public art regardless of whether public art will be directly incorporated into the project, funds for this purpose are identified separately in the CIP. After the Financial Plan is adopted, the CIP Review Committee will review the approved projects, and make recommendations to the Council regarding the allocation of public art funds to specific projects. This review, should be completed by September 2001. Following Council approval,briefings will be held with affected project managers on the most effective process for incorporating public art into their project.
