Debbie brought check awarded for $1,784.44, Tier 3. Final Grant report is due Feb. 16, 2018 SCFD pins were distributed to LCC. Public Art Policy in finalized draft was presented by Katie Zoss. Policy addresses criteria and process for acquiring and maintaining art on city property. It does not address any artwork on private property. It also does not at this time include a funding policy. Presently, the idea is for the LCC to be in an advisory capacity of finding and vetting artwork, and the city council would review and have the final say. Some debate ensued on the approval process and Chris Leh, having just arrived, stated that the City would want to weigh in. It is not a "money issue" but a "First Amendment" issue. Katie clarified that of her "Guiding Principles" we would say "1 or more of these qualities" so that we have some flexibility. Further discussed "values" section. "Public Notice", which include posting the proposed artwork on the city and perhaps LCC website, be in the monthly packet and signage at the site for 15 days prior to the hearing scheduled for public comments. Online, a reference to where to find the "Criteria" would be helpful, a member noted. All sculptures would be added to the city's insurance policy. City would also cover cost of de -accessing and appraisals of art. Chris Leh advised Katie to run the policy by Sam , the lawyer. It will be reviewed at a city study session on Nov. 14th, at 7 pm. Approval process is slated for Nov. 28th LCC on verge of purchasing dancing girl with flute for approximately $12,500. Sculpture #2 out of 8 for Community Park.
