BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Art Advisory Board seeks ways to bring art to the public through the Art in Public Places (AiPP) Fund, which is funded by the development impact mitigation fee program. The Art Advisory Board recommends using AiPP funds to repeat two projects that have previously been successful. In 2011, AiPP funds paid for a three-month exhibit of Seward Johnson sculpture exhibits in downtown Lodi at a total cost of $30,000. Earlier in 2013, AiPP funds were expended for artists to paint five traffic signal control boxes at a cost of $500. The AiPP committee has selected eight of the 10 life-sized sculptures it wishes to display in downtown Lodi from April 15 to July 15, with two more to be determined. The costs of the exhibits has increased slightly, so an appropriation of $35,000 is requested. This exhibit will offer opportunities for press in local and outlying areas resulting in attracting many visitors to Lodi. Phase one and two of the Traffic Control Box Art project proved successful, with positive public response. Five signal boxes have been painted. The Art Advisory Board desires to expand the project, and the Public Works Department has identified 15 boxes that would be suitable for painting. The Art Advisory Board wishes to pay artists $300 for each of the 15 boxes for a total appropriation of $4,500. A call to artists will take place following City Council approval. Submitted designs will be reviewed and selected by the Art Advisory Board.
