STUDY SESSION
1. PUBLIC ART (File No. 477.)
Council considered policy issues and update on the status of the City -wide
Public Art Program.
Randy Rossi, Long Range Planner, reviewed the agenda report and gave a slide
presentation on public art showing various artwork that he had taken pictures
of around the country. He stated that the CAO's recommendation was for
direction to staff on five key policy issues; 1) the overall program concept
as outlined in the staff report, 2) should the program include a mandatory
"percent for art" requirement for new construction, 3) if so, should it apply
to public projects, private projects, or both, 4) what percent for public art
is appropriate, and 5) how should the "percent for art" in City projects be
funded.
Jeff Hook, Associate Planner, reviewed the Ad -Hoc Citizen's Committee
recommendation for Public Art.
Mayor Dunin asked for public comment.
Ken Schwartz, former mayor, urged support of a Public Art Program, making
various suggestions for implementation.

Upon general consensus, Council urged that the process not be too cumbersome,
as that would be one of the incentive programs for bringing public art
forward.
Councilman Reiss stated he could support a program, but was concerned about
the financing of it, that the timing may not be appropriate given the number
of other issues facing the community.
After additional discussion and upon general consensus, Council supported
alternative 13 - to support a one percent public art allocation program for
City projects excluding public utility capital improvement projects. Further,
that staff be directed to provide Public Art incentives for private projects
by removing regulatory impediments and reducing red tape.
A final recommended program will be brought back for Council action at a later
date at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting.
6:15 p.m., Mayor Dunin adjourned the meeting to closed session to discuss real
property negotiations on the Court Street Lease.
7:00 p.m., there being no further business to come before ti :c'City Council,
Mayor Dunin adjourned the meeting. r"� ,
