Uses for Second TIer funds Include increased allocatIons for FIrst TIer proJects, on-SIte art proJects, and/or purchases of art for publlC dIsplay. The Percent for Art Program was presented to CouncIl as one part of the Arts CommISSIon's budget proposal.

In accordance WIth these dIrectives, the Arts CommISSIon has exam1ned the FY 1984-85 CIP Budget for 1tS applIcatIon to tre Percent for Art Program.

TRANSCRIPT OF PORTION OF MINUTES OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING , HE'Ll? SEfr.~MBER '1'1 I, '1984" AGENDA ITEM 5-B: Recommendation of the Arts Comm~ss~on to ap- prove the F~scal Year 1984-85 Art Plan for the Percent for Art Program. (Staff report given--not ~ncluded ~n transcrIpt) (PresentatIon by Arts Commission ExecutIve Director DaVId Lutz-- not ~ncluded in transcrIpt) Cm ~ennin~s: Frankly, I kInd of recall that, WIth respect to the annual plan, that we were go~ng to see what the art work was, IS there any partIcular problem about not us approvIng the art work, cause I thlnk, probably we don't want to, but rather that after the declslon has been made, some klnd of presentatIon is made to us so were at least made aware of what the dec~sion has been Lutz: I would be happy to do that. We 1.'111 be selecting art work throughout the year, so that It wouldn't be, In a case where I would be able to present It all to you, but as we make selectlons at quarterly or semI-annually, whatever works, I would be happy to come back to you and let you know what it is we are propos~ng to buy. Cm Reed: Have you checked wIth the ParkIng EngIneerIng staff re the advlslbility of haVIng quote unique look unquote or special treatment for regulatory traff~c slgns. - 1 - . . Lutz: Staff Scholl, D1rector of General Serv1ces 1S a member of that select10n committee and he has been present at all committee meetings and I am sure that that committee would not be d01ng anyth1ng, particularly w1th Stan's participation on 1t, that would go aga1nst Stan's Parking and Engineer1ng staff. ~m Re~d: You have much more fa1th than I do. I mean, I really wonder about the adv1s1bllity of hav1ng traff1c regulat10n slgns ln a part of the c1ty that are dlfferent. I thlnk there are certaln need to have those signs to be standard1zed. Lutz: There are standards, and what I believe what the comml ttee was proposlng was not to do anythlng that would actually change the slgns, but, for lnstance, 1n the C1ty of San- ta Barbara, they are put ln k10sks along State Street that con- form w1th the look of the ent1re of State Street and all the street furnlture includ1ng slgns are all housed slm1larly, so lt is still a stop slgn, standard stop slgn, 1t lS Just mounted on a structure that conforms to the look of the street. em Reed: You are not going to get State Street for $1,500. Lutz: No. HPT Press: -- - On the park1ng garage proJect, your talklng about that 1n very general terms, there are a couple of questions I have and one 1S, What 1S the cr1ter1a for selection about which - 2 - . . one of the parking garages would be the first proJect, do you know? Lutz: No, I don't know, not at thIS time. That deci- sion hasn't been made. The commIttee was gOIng to be going back (interrupted) HPT Press: It hasn't been made? Lutz: Not of WhICh of the two, no. I am certaIn that If you have recommendatIons of WhICh of the two, they would be happy to consider that. MPT Press: , , , No, not partIcularly. I am merely curIOUS at what the crIterIa IS to choose, IS what I am Interested In. I have no partIcular preference. The other questIon IS, the maln- tenance of the parkIng garages of course IS paId for by parkIng assessment participants, bUSIness partICIpants in the area, what sort of, how would they be consulted and Included so that they would not perhaps be outraged at whatever is chosen, Slnce they are paYIng for the maIntenance of the garage? Lutz: ThIS declsion WIll be run by the Third Street Mall Corporation Board, SInce It IS in that part of the cIty, and we will be askIng for their Input on that. HPT Press: Okay. em Reed: Also, on your mall proJect, you don't lndlcate there are going to be any mall people on the selection commIttee - 3 - . '. and It seems to me that, I agree wIth Mrs. Press on the parkIng garage and I thInk you can extend that same concern to the mall proJect. Lutz: that. that. That was an oversIght, and I'm sorry about I have talked with the mall staff and we WIll be dOIng Hay~~ Edwa~ds: I have a questIon, on the Jurors fees, for ex- ample, on the Fourth Street medIan proJect, you have a selectIon commIttee, do you Intend to pay one of the people on thIS commIt- tee a Jurors fee for selectIng the proJect. Lutz: We can If they are not CIty staff or board and commISSIon member. H~y~~ ~dwa~~~: That is a concern of mIne, cause you put together a board and all but one IS in fact, the one person that IS not, your consultant is a former Arts CommISSIoner, we have a 100 commISSIoners for free and I don't see why, for example and ex-commISSIoner comes back to advise on something In her neIgh- borhood, why she should get a Jurors fee, I thInk It 1 S a waste of money and It IS unfaIr to 100 commISSIoners who are In thIS CIty. If these people are Involved and have an interest, I don't see, what are you IntendIng to gIve the Juror, for example Lutz: When we came back to you with the second staff report last WInter, It was an Issue that the CouncIl wanted - 4 - . . clarified, and I bel1eve that a cap was set of a maximum of, 1n a given year for any Juror, $600. ~ayor:- ,~d: I th1nk that is outrageous 1n th1S case. You conV1nced me when your talk1ng about a maJor artwork, bring1ng 1n a renown artlst, but 1n th1S case your br1ng1ng 1n a neighborhood person, who used to be a commlss1oner, to pay them a fee, well you got e1ght rema1ning comm1ssioners work1ng for free, it is unnecessary and lt 1S a waste of money and I can't support that idea. em Reed: Maybe we should make a rule that no C1ty reS1- dents would be ellg1ble for Jurors fees and just, poom, leave 1t at that. ~~~.or Edwards: Not only that, lf you a sltuatlon where you have volunteer comm1SS1oners d01ng everyth1ng 1n the C1ty, glve some rationale or why you have to pay a Juror, Just because some- body (lnterrupted) em Reed: There are other clty resldents on some of these other Jury comm1ttees, who probably shouldn't get a Juror fee. Hayor Edwar:-~~: Not even that, we have people who spent hundreds and hundreds of hours on the Land Use Element for free because they are concerned about the C1 ty and Just because you have the money, I don't know that somebody because the1r selected should get $200 - $300 to make a selection. - 5 - . . ~m Jen~ings: I thInk what your saylng lS you want some strong rationale for why that people should be paid anythIng. ~ayor Edwards: If were talklng about commissionlng an artwork WhICh I would support that is gOlng to cost the CIty some money and you make a ratIonale for a selectIon for some renowned art- ists, we don't have to bring up the thlng about the poster com- mittee, but something of that nature, but to have a city resident partlclpate with Cl ty staff and volunteer commISSIoners and but for the fact that that person is not on the COmmlSS1on and then in this one case of the Fourth Street medIan project the person you p1cked was a former COmmlSSloner who was dOIng all thIS for free and I don't know why suddenly thlS person should be glven a Juror's fee. They were certaInly volunteerlng theIr tIme beforehand. Lutz: If I can respond to that. I would hate to See the Arts CommISSIon exclude partlcipation ln ltS decISlon makIng process Slnce most of our meetings take place durIng the day, not everyone can take off work, and I would lIke there to be some compensatlon for those people who do Indeed need It. Mayor Edwards: I would like to see a ratIonale, we have a HOUSIng CommISSIon, a CommlSSlon on Older Americans that meet dur1ng the day, and we have a CIty Councll that makes $50/month putting In a lot of tlme, and I would lIke to see a rationale before someone is glven $300 to help p1ck a proJect 1n the communIty. - 6 - . . em Conn: I have a problem Wl th this dlScusslon, if we want to debate this at thIS pOlnt, I suppose we can, but It seems to me Mr. Mayor, that you had called for a questlon of staff and I think that perhaps thlS is a dlScuss10n that we ought to have after we have from members of the publ1C. Mayor nEdwards: That's true. He has answered my question about the payment of the Juror I S fee. We do have a member of the publ1C who wIshes to speak. Cm Conn: I th1nk that 1f there 1S a problem that we have w1th paY1ng Juror's fees then we ought to d1SCUSS Juror's fees and solve thelr problem. (Member of the publIC, Brurla Flnkel spoke to the matter--not 1ncluded 1n transcr1pt) em E{lstein: I would like to move adoptlon of the program as proposed wlth the following changes: I would llke to delete the Fourth Street medlan project and the Art Bank and dlrect the Corn- m1SSIon to come up WIth proposals for public sculpture to allo- cate those funds and secondly to spec1fy that Jury fees only be paId for major acquls1t1ons or proJects. Cm Reed: Second. Cm Epstein: I I d like to speak to that If I may. I favor the idea of publ1C art. I th1nk the level of expend1ture is a reasonable one although, I, 1n the past have not agreed WIth the method beh1nd thIS program, that 1S not the 1ssue before us. I - 7 - // ) (, l 'J ! \ i / \ ! \ ! ! '- . . th~nk the Pal~sades proJect is a very good one. I th~nk the idea of a sculture 1n the lobby of the C~v~c Aud~tor1um, assuming a good one ~s chosen, ~s qu~te wonderful and would enhance, what I think is a rather ster~le environment there. I'm concerned that the $1,500 for the Fourth Street median proJect is really not enough for a major outs1de work of art and really ~t seems to me that there is some klnd reaching for someth~ng that isn't going to be effect~ve. I think the consistency of our s~gneage, g~ven that were surrounded by Los Angeles, 1S an asset to our commun~- ty, I don't think we ought to mess w1th that and 1f the purpose is to p1ck new vegatat10n for the 1ns1de I am not sure that lS really the baliwlck of the arts proJect to p~ck some other klnd of vegatat10n for landscape purposes. I am concerned W1 th the Art Bank because, I think before we get 1nto acqu1s1 t10ns and sort of a collect1on, a float1ng collect1on of artwork, that there are plenty of publlC spaces where we could have maJor th~ngs that everybody could see. Places l~ke Clover Park or Hotchk~ss if you want to t1e ~t ~nto Fourth Street. I th~nk that would be a more appropr~ate use than k1nd of gOlng around and buy~ng artwork that people on the Jury happen to l1ke. I th~nk we have to be very carefule W1 th th1S because art 1S something that people feel very strongly about and if we don't do th1ngs the k1nd that everybody can see and d1SCUSS and enJoy, I th1nk the program ~ tsel f may be 1n danger. I watched the 60 m~nutes program last Sunday about the Dutch Welfare State and they have an enormous art program, and some of 1t I sure lS very good, but - 8 - . . they also buy alot of art that gets warehoused. I am not sug- gesting that we are at that pOlnt yet. But I thlnk there are thIngs we could do to Insure that we don't get there, especially at the beglnning of thIS program. I would rather see one or two really Interestlng outdoor sculpture projects for example than buying a bunch of prInts or paintlngs and we don't know where they are going to go. em Reed: I support Mr. Epstein1s motion because In large part I agree wlth his comments and crltlclsms. For me personal- ly, the most exciting thlng that was referenced In thIS whole plan was PalIsades Park art project WhlCh I happen to thlnk was a very nIce Idea and probably ought to be extended to some other parks In the CIty too. The real concern that I have IS one WhlCh I brought to the table when we were dIscusslng the whole Percent for the Arts process, and I objected to the fact of Includlng street projects and Sewer projects and thIngs lIke that In the Percent for the Arts Program and this is a good example of what happens. You end up with a project WhlCh is not a huge project and therefore does not generate a large sum of money In the case of Fourth Street, only $1,500. So you end up not beIng able to do something so you end up talking about hlring a consultant to fIgure out some landscapIng and vegatatlon for you. The cIty Recreation Department already has people on thelr staff that do that klnd of stuff. The Cl ty went through a whole process to have approved lnnd of street trees I and it doesn't seem to me that you would really want to spend thIS klnd of money this way, - 9 - . . and so I think what has happened 1S you end up with a project and a sum of money so you have to scratch you head to thInk about, well, gee, how do we get rid of this money on th1S part1cular proJect. Now, I would much rather see that money 1nto Mary Hotchkiss Park Wh1Ch happens to abut the Fourth street area, be- cause I thInk you would prov1de something that more people would enjoy if they could walk up to and look at rather than just some sort of landscap1ng or special treatment for boulevard stop sIgns. So I guess I would have to say that I don't support the Fourth Street plan at all and I think that the community is not ready for an Art Bank. I don't thInk that thIS 1S the place to put our money 1n the beglnn1ng. I thInk that DaVId 1S rIght, we have to have more ways the publ1C can relate happIly to publ1C art and put It Into places where people can see 1t. I thInk the mural projects are projects people by and large enjoy and sup- port, the Idea of mak1ng the parkIng lots different by giVIng them d1fferent art treatments or murals IS a good idea and one the publ1C w111 undoubtedly respond to. And I th1nk a better expend1ture of funds that sort of builds a constItuency, but Just you know, haVIng a CETA program for artIsts basically I which is what thIS Art Bank esent~ally sounds lIke on paper, Isn't neces- sarIly gOlng to bUIld pUblIC support because It Isn I t gOlng to expose enough of the publIC to what 1S be1ng produced. I mean to my way of thinking, 1t would be better to have the public vote on the slIdes that are in the slIde program over at the lIbrary so that they could p1ck what they wanted the clty to buy rather than have three people go out and decide what they wanted to buy and - 10 - . e you could have II ttle votes every year In the Ilbrary and have d1fferent cho1ces and the people could say what they llke and the city can buy it and hang it up in the library. That would make more sense. Cm Conn: I have a questlon of staff. I guess I want to address thls to Dav1d. The, in my memory, my memory falls me 1n terms of the selectlon, the process of Tier I and Tler II, and I know that we d1d that because we wanted to solve some problems and 1t sounds llke were not solv1ng any problems or we have cre- ated some problems. For example, does the 4th Street medlan project require us, becasue It 1S a Tler I project cause of ltS slze, to put $1,500 1nto 4th Street. Lutz: That 1S my readlng of the resolut1on. em Reed: Could we put It lnto Mary Hotchk1SS Park? Lutz: It is reqU1red to be on-s1te. em __Epstein: 1.t 1.S on-s1te. It 1. 5 VI 51. bl e from the street, 1 t seems to me Cm Conn: That is the argument we are gett1ng ourselves 1nto is that we trying In fact to, meet some concerns about where the art went and how it was tied to the project 1n trY1ng to solve th1S issue of streets and sewers rather than suggestlng that in fact, we have an art plan that says okay we have $92,000, what l5 the most vlsible way to spend 1t In the Clty on art any- where, when 1n fact we wanted to tle it to proJects. I guess my - 11 - . . other questlon I have is the Art Bank, is that a way of prlmarlly dealing with Tler II? (Lutz sald yes) All of those are smaller projects that ln fact we couldn't do anyone on-51te, because the amount so small but that cumulatlvely lt amounts to (lnterrupted) Lutz: What we feel to be a slgnlflcant way of spend- lng off-sIte money. Cm Conn: And do we have the latl tude in the resolution that we adopted for the Percent for the Arts, do we have the latitude of spendIng thIs $17,000 in one place? Lutz: combInatIons. No, we can spend It In any, a variety of Cm Conn: Any way we want to. Any combInation? Lutz: Yes. Cm Conn: dIscussed Sl.erras. Sorry I am askIng these questl.ons, thIS was all at the last meetIng at WhIch was on vacatlon In the ':Iayor ,Ed~.~rds: You mean the last Arts Commission. dISCUSS It here. We didn't ~m .Conn: Right. The last Arts Commlsslon, when I was also ln the SIerras. Well, I know that the CommIssIon dId a great deal of work to try to come up some allocatIons, but I am wonderIng whether, In fact, the CommIssIon needs to take lnto conslderatlon, CounCIl'S comments In regards to the plan, and - 12 - . . have an add1t10nal meeting to reflect on it an then br1ng it back to us. The Comm1ss1on may say no, this 15, in fact, the way it ought to be spent, in light, despite the comments of the Council. Th1s 1S the f1rst t1me we've done th1s, I'm concerned that we do it as effectively as possible both in terms of the city and set- ting precedence for the future. The Council did ask for thIS right of review of the Arts CommIssion's purchase program for a year at a time, and I thlnk that it 1S entIrely appropriate that we take whatever deliberatIons are necessary to come to as much concensus as we can about what that program ought to be for the year. I don't know whether Counc11members are so perhaps, I am shootIng blind. M~y~r ,~dwards: I Just want to make a comment. My concern about the Jury fees 1S not the same as WIth the rest of the re- port. That IS a flne area, and I th1nk 1 t 1S someth1ng we de- bated when we flrst set up the Percent for the Art, 1S what is the threshhold at what pOInt we really have an on-51 te project. I don't know that $1,500 on the 4th Street med1an 1S that thresh- hold or not. That IS a close call and we may want to put some- th1ng In the 1mmedIate ne1ghborhood or maybe there IS someth~ng that could be done on 4th Street and I happen to support the Art Bank. The Jury fee though 1S a concern of m1ne because we are not only blessed w1th 600 art1sts 1n th1s commun1ty we are blessed w~th thousands of people who put hundreds of volunteer hours and I don't care what trad1t1on ~s, the fact is, 1f every- body else 1n the city 13 putt1ng 1n alot of t1me for free there - 13 - . . are alot of artists dOIng the same thIng. Some of the people that you list as potentIal Jurors were also applicants to the commissIon who indIcated that they are wIllIng to put In tIme for thIS community. I might also point out that Jurors that are asked to rule on the lIfe or death of a crImInal get $15 a day. So I don't know that we need somebody that rules on a sculpture should necessarIly get $200-$300 per day. em Reed: I thInk that Mr. Conn's suggestIon IS fIne wIth me If he would lIke to have the commISSIon have an opportunIty to reVIew our comments before we vote on the whole package or alter- nately approve the ones that we are WIllIng to approve and send back to them our comments the ones that we had questIons on. For myself I Just think that Its gOIng to be vIewed as a kind of wasteful expendIture of the 4th Street money In the manner In WhIch IS outlined In the report and If they wanted to spend It in some way that made an art enhancement In Mary HotchkISS Park WhICh IS one whole block of 4th Street nght In that same area. I would have no obJectIon at all IncludIng a mural on the rest- room bUIldIng or a sculpture or some other sort of proJect lIke that. I wouldn't have any obJectIon at all, It Just seems to me to be very SIlly to spend that money on a consultant to eIther deSign sIgns or landscapIng. The Art Bank I have more substan- tIve concerns about and would be happy to dISCUSS It further wIth the Arts Commlssloners. But I Just thInk thIS lS the wrong place to start wIth that particular money. I would almost rather see - 14 - . . them have a bench program that went either wIth more benches In PalIsades Park or put them in other parks too. em Zane: I agree wIth 4th Street comments, I do thInk the money would be better spent or perhaps even combIned with other resources for more sIgnificant work that the community as a whole would appreciate to a greater extent. WIth respect to the Art Bank I do thInk that the Art Bank proposals 15 not Inconsis- tent wIth suggestIons that Councllmember EpsteIn made regardIng the nature of the Items to be purchased as I understand It. It 1S perfectly possIble for a slgnifIcant sculpture as you sugges- ted be part of the Art Bank acqu1s1 tlon. It IS not exclusIvely paIntIngs. Howeverl I would lIke to say that for us to presume that publ1C art is only to be In outs1de spaces where people m1ght drIve by or walk buy or shoppIng I what have you that IS an Incorrect notlon. The lIbrary after all IS a publIC space and very very many people in thIS communIty use It and there are many other simIlarly Indoor spaces that can be enhanced by public ac- qUIsItion of art If 1t 1S done prudently. I thInk what we are delIberating here is how we are gOIng to express the prIde thIS community has and how we are going to materIalize that prIde and develop In a concensus an approach. The Council, I thInk IS Just as 1S WIth other programs llke Commun1ty Corporation a vital part of Its longev1 ty In assur1ng the program lasts long enough to have more than sImply a dent In our COnSClenceness here. I would lIke to see us develop that kInd of concensus process. Mr. Conn's suggestIon that the Arts CommIssIon delIberated on that - 15 - . . seems to me not entIrely necessary because I concur on the ques- tl.on of 4th Street. I th1nk those funds ought to perhaps be J01ned w1th funds in the Art Bank program. I th1nk the Art Bank suggestions you made In your motl.on are l.n fact consistent wIth the program as outlined. I would llke to suggest that you modify your mot1on to reflect that observat1on and that that become part of the mandate the COmml.SS10n understands itself to be work1ng with 1n thl.s program. Hayor Edwards: I would move the meet1ng be extended past 11:00 P.M. HPT Press: Second. (all aye by voice vote) I Just want to say on the 1ssues that have been brought forth 1n th1S mot1on that I also think that because that park 1S so attract1ve to the neIghborhood and there 1S alot of ch1ldt"en that I have Seen there. I th1nk that having somethIng that is read1ly accessible that 1S not, which someth1ng that IS 1n the mIddle of the traff1C is certa1nly not, and I th1nk that there should be some conSlS- tency 1n slgns and maybe that is not something we should get 1nto an art1stic mode about. Therefore, I do support the park pro- posal that Counc1lmember Reed has addressed. I also support the Art Bank. It seems to me, I don't know, 1t 1S not clear to me why the city wouldn't be ready to, lf we have an Arts Commisslon which has now been functlon1og for 2 1/2 years, it seems to me that 1t is approprlate that the obJect1ves that are spelled out here to begIn the, it l.S merely a repos1tory for an accumulat10n of the art work that wlll be d1splayed 1n many C1 ty places, at - 16 - \ ./ '; ( ) . . ci ty hall, schools, parks and librarIes, eta., It IS merely es- tablislng a place where once that art IS accumulated that It WIll be kept. To begin with that, It seems perfectly appropriate to me. I guess there is not, I think that thIs IS definItely the VIew of the minorIty, but I do want to go on record and say that I do support fees for Jurors and on the Arts Commission, particu- larly, of course I also support paYIng CommIssIoners so that comes in to play here. So the, I thInk there are people on the Arts CommissIon, there are busIness people, etc., on the Arts CommIssIon and also some profeSSIonal artIsts. Now I would not favor some sort of a publIC vote about art. Because I thInk that what the end result would have to be somethIng that would be the average of the aoncensus of the publIC and I don I t thInk that mIght not be so hIghly desirable aesthetIcally. So I feel as that It IS very important In these selectIons that professIonals be present and makIng thIS deCIsIon. ArtIsts are certaInly not the most wealthy people In our communIty and I thInk that If we called this an art consultant, maybe then we would be more WIll- Ing to spend thousands of dollars lIke we do all the tIme for consultants for everythIng. So maybe we ought to call It an art consultant and then maybe the $300 fee would seem very reasonable because God knows we have never pald a consultant $300 for any- thIng. So that 15, we are talkIng about the spIrit of our city. We are taHnng about somethIng that WIll be part of the dally lIfe of pedestrIans, the people In cars, the people in publIC bUIldIngs, etc., WhICh wlll lift our spIrits and appeal to our senSItIvItIes and to our emotIons. A fee of $300 does not seem - 17 - . . exceSSIve to me to accomplIsh all that. So I really support the fees for jurors. ~m Epstein: Okay, I'm going to try to take into account the comments of Councilmembers and maybe reVIse the motIon, hopefully WI th the consent of the second. The motIon wou~d be. that we ap.~ ~rove the plan as_propo~ed wIth the exceptIon of the Art Bank and the Fourth Street medIan proJect, that we ask the Arts CommIssIon ~o gIve further consideratlon_ to returnIng with_a recommendatIon r1 t;tv- that would. Iryclude the $1,500 for IC!_~rth .$.~reet and some. w-Eiuld be <!;~'c TIer II funds for aSIgniflcant PUbIC art prOject In the vIctnltr of Fourth Street and to consIder some of the other concerns raIsed by the CouncIl and gIve greater speciflcIty to the _~xpen-: <!-Iture "of the .r,emain,l,n,~.. ,(l.!!Ids ,~nd also t/? c_onsl.der t.he COMments of the CouncIl In relatIon to c~~te~ia for Jury_expendlture~. In other words, the thIngs we agree on, we can pass tonIght and let them take another crack at the part that we dIsagree on, if that is acceptable to Mrs. Reed as the second. Cm Reed: That IS fIne. Cm Jennings: SInce we are baSIcally statIng what we thInk what we want to see when it comes back If this motion passes, I suppose I ought to say too. I don't necessarily oppose any of these particular thIngs that are here In thIS proposed plan, but I am not entirely sure that two thIngs were not taken Into ac- count. It sounded lIke from what I heard from Mr. Lutz that the Arts Commlsslon conSIdered an on-sIte and on the street wIth - 18 - '\ .I . . respect to Fourth Street and they haven't necessarIly considered that in the park mIght be on-site. And the other thIng IS two, in respect to the Art Bank, I would like for the Arts CommIssIon to consIder the problem about, It doesn't do us any good to have an Art Bank that SIts someplace and doesn't go anywhere and doesn't get used. At least consider that problem In lIght of the experIence in some places hke Holland. Hopefully that won't ever happen here. But If we are gOIng to send It to them and If they consIder those things and they say thIS is stIll what we thInk IS best, then I wIll support It. I Just want to make sure all those thIngs got fully consIdered by it. em Conn: -. - I wIll support thIS motIon but I do want to say one thIng and tha IS, I thInk that one of the thIngs we need to do In this CIty IS to spend a small amount of money, lIke $1,500 In a major capital improvement to see what the involvement of an artIst would be WIth the result of the artIst Involvement in that kInd of publIC work proJect. There are other CItIes that have experImented WIth haVIng an artist Involved In the process of ImagInIng and conceptualIzIng a publIC works project and that that has turned out to be a very creatIve process. It has been visually eXCIting ~n the streetscape. And I thInk 4th Street, In fact maybe a communIty willling to accept that k~nd of experImen- tatlon and that we, In fact, that Ocean Park is that kInd of com- munlty and that would be a good place for us to do that kind of thlng and so, desp~te the Council's reluctance to see that kInd of thing happen, I thInk that It could be an eXCItIng project. - 19 - . . In terms of Jury fees, I th1nk 1t 1S very lmportant for us to pay Jury fees on major Jury proJects, to pay someone $300-400 for three or four days work in professional expert1se IS really an 1mportant th1ng for us to be able to do. I th1nk that perhaps 1f some of the spec1f1c situations 1n this proposal that are concern to the mayor and perhaps others, so perhaps there 1S some way in Wh1Ch we can, the comm1SS1on can look at that aga1n and come back w1th some cr1ter1a that makes sense. Cm Zane: I would llke to make an amendment to the mo- t1on. My amendment to the motlon is that the Jury fees that the cOMm1ss1on come back w1th an elaborat1on, propose an elaborat1on of the POllCY on jury fees. I a~ sympathetic w1th the arguments the mayor has made w1th the 1nequ1ties of paY1ng someone and not paY1ng others for the1r commun1 ty serV1ce. I th1nk there are arguments to be made that you can 1mprove the qual1ty of selec- t10n by being able to 1nterest people who are outs1de our com- mun1 ty and participate 1n th1S process. I would llke to have that, a POllCY that is sort of elaborated. Cm Epstien: If that was not clear that that was part of my rev1sed motion, I accept the amendment to clar1fy. Cm Zane: The th1ng about your mot1on then that I'm con- cerned that I can't support it 1n the current form 1S that makes the Art Bank program appear to be all on hold. I would l1ke to have the Art Bank program proceed w1th the1r, w1th that program, but dOlng so would the advise and counsel of th1S Counc1l about - 20 - \ \ \ \ .1 , , .. . . the nature of those acqUISItIons, such as they have heard night. My motion would be that the, my amendment IS that the Arts CommIssion be dIrected to proceed wIth the Art Bank program but to Include In the development of the acquIsitIon program a concern for the comments of the CouncIl, IncludIng not limItIng their acqUISItion program to Interior, but also Include the pros- pect of acqUISItion of maJor exterIor pIeces such as sculptures. MPT Press: Second. Cm Conn: I really appreCIate what Mr. Zane IS gOIng after, I am not certaIn thIS solves the problem and that if In fact the CommiSSIon has the opportunIty to look at It thIS month, we can come back and I don't thInk the Idea of an Art Bank 15 a dead Idea. That is not what I heard out of Mr. EpsteIn's motIon. Mayor Edwards: Do you support Mr. EpsteIn's motIon? Cm Conn: I don't have any problem WI th the motIon be- cause we are gOIng to come back WIth some, my understanding is that the Commlsslon WIll look at the Art Bank 1ssue and the Fourth Street Issue and come back wlth some recommendatIons to CounCIl, and at that p01nt the CommIssion may come back and say we want the Fourth Street and we want the Art Bank Just the way we sald we wanted it the fIrst tIme. If so we have lost 30 days, big deal. _~ay'or . Edwards: Any more discussion on the amendment then? - 21 - to- '- , ~ ; .I I ) \ i .I \ I , ., . . c~ Epstein: I Just would like to hear from the Arts Commis- slon, because one of the lssues is how much money will they need to add to Fourth Street, they aren't really going to know what they are gOlng to spend, I would rather have their response on this and you know they wlll be going forward Wl th some of the other proJects so I would prefer to let the Commission to respond to our comments, that is what we put them on the Commission to do. M~y~r: Edwards: I am gOlng to support Mr. Epstein's motion. I Just want to remlnd the Councll that ln a sense by doing thIS, they really are getting 1n an area they swore they would not want to get lnvolved In. My concern agaIn With Fourth Street 1S per- haps decId1ng what the m1n1mum threshhold lS and lett1ng the Arts COmm1ss1on dec1de. If we start saYlng well okay get 1nvolved 1n this but don't get 1nvolved ln that you are all d01ng what exact- 1 y you sa 1d you d1dn' t wan t to do when we formed the Comml SSlon and that 1S gett1ng involved ln each proJect. My concern agaln 1S a fInal note on the Jurors, aga1n IS there 1S a major proJect in WhlCh expertise is needed, that is one th1ng, but when you have a Commlsslon made up of a voluntary Parks Commiss1oner, a department head, all of whom are voluntary in that nature and are volunteering their time, to pay an expert, it is a contrldict1on because 1f a Parks and Recreatlon Commlssloner and somebody from General SerVlces IS an expert enough to get pald or 1sn't an ex- pert enough to make the dec~slon they shouldn't be on the comm~t- tee. If they are on the commIttee, you have made the assumptIon - 22 - " :. . . that maybe common sense prevalls over professlonal1sm. any other discuss10n on the amendment? All 1n favor Zane's amendment say aye. The amendment falled by a vote of 3-4 Is there of Mr. Councilmember Epsteln's main mot1on was approved unanlmously 7- O. THE END - 23 - "'. . . .. . . .
