Continued from April 2, 2018 — Submitted by Councilmember Semeta — Art in Public Places Master Plan Councilmember Semeta shared a PowerPoint communication titled Art in Public Places: A Placemaking Strategy for Destination Cities with slides entitled: Public art serves many roles for a city (10), The Benefits of Public Art, Public Art as a Proven Economic Development Strategy, Why a Master Plan for Public Art? (2), A Master Plan Should:, Plenty of Local Master Plans as Examples (3), and Public Art Will Turn a Space into an Iconic Place. Mayor Pro Tern Peterson stated his support for this project which will include local artists for local projects. Councilmember Delgleize acknowledged both Ms. Haynes and Mr. Kramer specifically for improving the Downtown through public art. Councilmember Delgleize could not support a master plan which becomes constraining, but would support a framework of guidelines, and trusts that staff will suggest appropriate options. Councilmember Brenden stated his support for this effort and belief that public art helps to create positive memories and lasting impressions. His concerns relate to the lack of clarity on current processes, fees and plans, and he emphasized the inclusion of the existing Allied Arts Board throughout the process of developing a master plan. Councilmember Brenden stated his support for a master plan that would stimulate the proliferation of public art while minimizing government interference of artistic expression. Councilmember Hardy expressed a desire to see more details on current public art processes, and wants to ensure that any master plan does not create obstacles but makes it easier to create public art. Councilmember Semeta stated that part of the process for developing a master plan is to review current processes and plans to evaluate if they should be incorporated, or if adjustments are recommended. Director of Community Services Marie Knight stated that the process of creating a Public Arts Master Plan would include members of the Allied Arts Board, and staff plans to provide general options which can be fine-tuned and modified, including possible additions to the Design Review Board (DRB). Councilmember Semeta further stated that her vision is not for the City to be funding any public art, but rather encouraging opportunities for private funding. Mayor Posey reviewed goals from the Allied Arts Board as documented in The Cultural Plan Update dated February 17, 2015, to show the positive impact that the Allied Arts Board has produced, and planned, for public art. Further, he would like to see an incentive -based art and private development element in the master plan to encourage public art on private property. Mayor Pro Tern Peterson stated his understanding that this item is to get the ball rolling and to ask staff to return with answers to the questions raised this evening so that the next steps can be taken based on existing processes. An amended motion was made by Semeta, second Peterson to prepare a proposal, and involve the members of the Allied Arts Board, for the creation of a comprehensive public art program. The program should acknowledge the Community Development Department's existing program and expand it Council/PFA Regular Minutes April 16, 2018 Page 14 of 15 to consider other public art opportunities; and, research best practices for funding options for a comprehensive public art program and present options for consideration; and, review and make recommendations regarding the composition and mission of existing Boards and Commissions, including the Allied Arts Board, and their potential role in the future with respect to a new comprehensive art program or related to our current program and process. The motion carried by the following vote: AYES: O'Connell, Semeta, Peterson, Posey, Delgleize, Hardy, and Brenden NOES: None 10.
