Percent for Art ordinance revision (Chapter 2.30)
Discussed
The proposal would raise the annual capital improvement funding minimum for art from 1% to 1.5%, create a public art maintenance fund and adjust Art Design Board powers and membership limits. Council members and staff discussed selling art from the collection, geographic rotation, repair and reinstallation, insurance and maintenance costs and decommissioning. Members asked for changes including updated CIP amounts, replacing the word citizen with resident, sending decommissioning recommendations to the mayor for final approval, and concern over the board deciding purchase and maintenance funding. A straw poll to raise the percentage to 1.5% was supported unanimously by those present.
