SPECIAL CLOSED SESSION MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
At 7:03 a.m., Mayor Hitchcock adjourned the Shirtsleeve Session to a Special Closed Session
meeting (NOTE: refer to the Special Closed Session minutes of February 25, 2003).
At 7:46 a.m., Mayor Hitchcock reconvened the Shirtsleeve Session.
C. TOPIC(S)
C-1 "2003-04 Annual Master Plan — Art in Public Places"
Mayor Hitchcock announced that she had a meeting to attend in Sacramento and would
not be able to remain for the Shirtsleeve Session. She expressed support for the Art in
Public Places Policy and Master Plan and believed it was important to have a balance in
the community between youth and adult sports, fine arts, performing arts, and an in public
places.
NOTE: Mayor Hitchcock turned the meeting over to Mayor Pro Tempore Howard and left
at 7:47 a.m.
City Manager Flynn congratulated and thanked Tea Silvestre, Arts Coordinator, for doing
an outstanding job in preparing the 2003-04 Annual Master Plan.
Ms. Silvestre stated that the An in Public Places policy was adopted in 2001. The
administration of the program falls under the Arts Coordinator. Ms. Silvestre reported that
she has participated in discussions between Community Center Director Charlene Lange
and the City Manager regarding a division of arts and culture. She stated that, until
recently, the Arts Coordinator was seen only as the liaison for the Arts Commission. She
noted that the Art in Public Places Advisory Board is currently comprised of Arts
Commissioners Laura Heinitz and Donna Phillips, Recreation Commissioner Ed Wall,
Planning Commissioner Tim Mattheis, and SPARC member Roger Stafford. The
Advisory Board has been holding monthly meetings since December.
Ms. Silvestre recalled that a dedication ceremony took place in October 2002 for the
Sandhill Crane sculpture in the fountain of the Multi -Modal Station. She commented that
this was the City's first public art project. She will be submitting the project for
consideration in a national public art review program.
Mr. Flynn suggested that she also include the All Military Veterans Plaza in her submittal.
Continued February 25, 2003
Ms. Silvestro stated that she is soliciting public comment on the Master Plan prior to it
being brought before Council at a regular meeting. She briefly reviewed the goals,
objectives, and tasks as outlined in the draft Master Plan (filed). She pointed out that
construction and design approved capital projects for 2003-04 are listed in the second
section of the Plan. Each project gives 2% of its construction budget to the Art in Public
Places fund.
In reply to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Flynn explained that under federal and state
guidelines there is an allowance for public art with certain major street projects.
Mayor Pro Tempore Howard noted that the policy states that 2% of development impact
fees for individual projects will be used toward art in public places and pointed out that this
is one way to determine whether a project would fall under this category. If impact fees
were collected, then automatically, a certain percentage is earmarked toward Art in Public
Places.
Ms. Silvestro reported that a public comment workshop will be held at 5:30 p.m. today at
Hutchins Street Square and tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. The Master Plan will be presented to
Council at its April 2 meeting. Once the Advisory Board appoints a Selection Committee,
it will scope out the project for the new Police Station and requests for proposals to artists
will be sent out.
Referencing page 16, goal 2, Council Member Land noted that it calls for one full-time
program manager or coordinator. He asked whether the City will be adding staff to
oversee the Art in Public Places program.
Mr. Flynn replied that he is not recommending additional staff this year; however, he
stated that in the long run it may be necessary. He suggested that part-time staff provide
assistance in the interim.
Ms. Silvestro stated that she has contacted San Joaquin Delta College, University of the
Pacific, and Consumnes River College for interns to assist with the program.
Council Member Hansen voiced support for the Art in Public Places Policy and Master
Plan. He commented that the effect of public art is subliminal, in that people
automatically get a sense of the community from viewing it. He suggested that
Ms. Silvestro consider a mural for the walls of the downtown parking structure, and stated
that perhaps an artist would be willing to do so for little or no cost to display their work.
He also encouraged Ms. Silvestro to apply for grants.
Referencing page 10, strategy 2, second tactic, Mayor Pro Tempore Howard
recommended that wording be added to categorize any donated items that an individual
would like to have sold, or for the Arts Commission to consider the sale of a donated item
for cash purposes to be donated toward a particular project. In addition, she suggested
that donated items for display come before the Council for consideration.
D. COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS
None.
E. ADJOURNMENT
No action was taken by the City Council. The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 a.m.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION TO THE 2003-04 MASTER PLAN
Lodi and Public Art
With the passage of Lodi's Art in Public Places Policy in 2001, the City
Council recognized that public art enriches the lives of residents and
visitors, as well as promotes the identity of Lodi.
In 2002, the city saw the successful completion and dedication of the
program's first official project- the Sandhill Crane sculpture located at the
downtown Lodi Train Station.
We are proud of the factthat Lodi is one of the few communities which
continually rises to the challenge of balancing those very important
quality of rife issues for our residents along with being an attractive and
exciting destination for our visitors.
Local residents, Californians and international travelers may seek out the
pleasures of Lodi for a night, week or lifetime. Businesses in the arts, design,
wine, entertainment, hospitality, travel, and property developmentwill
invest in Lodi as long as the city continues to be a desirable center of
positive growth.
Growth means opportunities. The primary premise of this Master Plan for
Art in Public Places is to maintain flexibility and grasp opportunities caused
by the dynamics of growth. These opportunities lie within all sectors of the
economy—private, public and non-profit. The history of public art in Lodi
started in the private sector with the design and construction of the Lodi
Arch, the statue in Legion Park, and other early works. Nearly 100 years
later, the City will be installing new artwork for its Police Department
facility on Elm Street.
Even though the City of Lodi is just beginning to know the power of visual
arts in the public realm, there does exist a growing demand and respect
for visual art in public venues - the Veteran's Memorial, the Sandhill Crane
sculpture, as well as various murals on privately -owned buildings all testify
to this new outlook.
Public Art validates a citizen's belief that the city matches their life style.
Lodi is their home. This value of art, design and creativity is the future of
economic success according to Carnegie Melon University professor of
economic development, Richard Florida.
AIPP MASTER PLAN DRAFT PAGE 3
INTRODUCTION
In his theory, cities must attract the new "creative class" with stylish
neighborhoods, an arts scene and a minority -friendly atmosphere -- or
they will go the way of Detroit. Civic investment in satisfying the needs of
this citizen group will support the future of all citizens.
In Lodi, creativity and innovation have long been a part of the city.
Respect and value for historical architecture and design are essential to its
definition. Through partnering with the creative institutions and city
agencies, public art should take its significant place as a memorable
experience and image for citizens and tourists.
AIPP MASTER PLAN DRAFT PAGE 4
GOALS
GOALS for 2003-04
Lodi's program goals for this or any year fall under the following two
general priorities:
1. To respond proactively to all art opportunities
2. To successfully implement all art projects
The following plan addresses these goals and calls for specific strategies,
tactics, and administrative procedures that when attained, will ensure a
successful program, maintain consistency with the approved policy, and
facilitate understanding of the program's processes.
The plan also outlines upcoming public art projects and their budgets and
includes a detailed appendix of sample documents and reference
materials.

GOALS
GOAL #1: RESPOND PROACTIVELY TO ART OPPORTUNITIES
OBJECTIVE A: PARTNER FOR IMPACT
Strategy 1: Develop and Administer Simple Methods for Contribution by
the Private Sector
In the early days of Lodi, as well as in other parts of the country, the
historic details of Victorian and Deco architecture were required
necessities of a successful hotel, theater, club or apartment building.
Today, renovated hotels utilize historic or modern art and design as
features to attract their clients and to add to the overall flavor of a city.
These are opportunities grasped by the private sector responding to
the investor, resident and tourist from all continents.
Many leaders and arts supporters in the private sector recognize the
value of public art in creating the atmosphere of a dynamic, creative
city where people want to live, work and play. This lively atmosphere
increases the value of private land and property in the city. These
individuals and businesses would welcome simple methods to foster
the positive atmosphere through public art.
Tactic: Using matching fund grants and/or donations from the private
sector encourage the following:
❑ The purchase and display of artworks in the public areas of new
private developments.
❑ The design and lending of sites for new public art on private
property.
❑ Private sector contributions for public projects in close proximityto
each other.
❑ Donations or loan of existing artworks to be sited on private or
public lands.
❑ The display of works by local visual artists in restaurants, cafes, and
other unique venues in the central district.
l:: Strategy 2: Develop and Administer Simple Methods for Contribution by
the Non -Profit Sector
In the last few decades, the non-profit sector has found its successful
niche in the public art realm around the country. Organizations in
other cities have helped revitalize downtown areas by displaying
paintings, sculptures and other art works in a variety of vacant
storefront windows. Museums, performing arts groups and educational
institutions also utilize public art projects to enhance their
AIPP MASTER PLAN DRAFT PAGE 7
GOALS
programming, outreach and public awareness. In each case, the
formal and informal groups found opportunities and made them
happen.
Tactic: Collaboratewith and encourage local non -profits to utilize
visual artists and public artworks as a vehicle to take their messages to
the general public.
Tactic: Collaborate t o enhance the public education and celebration
regarding new public artworks through relevant exhibitions or
performances at unique venues. ( Example: the Lodi Public Library
could display the educational materials created for the art located at
the Train Station.)
Tactic: Discover co -programming opportunities that would allow the
public art program to collaborate with non -profits and bring media
attention and street -level awareness to those organizations.
131 Strategy 3: Assist and Advise Other Agencies
Encourage other city agencies and organizations to utilize artists to
achieve their goals. AiPP will be a resource for locating artists and
designers that could provide various needed services.
Tactic: Be attentive to the needs of other city and non -city agencies
and propose methods to solve their needs via public art. (Examples:
Bird habitat restorations, gateway signage, pump station visual
screens.)
Tactic: Provide quick response to art requests. Welcome and facilitate
quick responses to proposals from many sectors including the Planning
Commission, City Departments, other governments and the private
and non-profit sectors.
Response can be in the following forms:
❑ Manage artist selection process.
❑ Assist the private sector with navigating City government
❑ Manage the contract for an artist selected by another agency
or group
❑ Partial funding
Tactic: Develop a list of local artists and their skills. Utilize an artist
registry for the City of Lodi, San Joaquin County, State of California and
others.
AIPP MASTER PLAN DRAFT PAGE
GOALS
Tactic: Maintain a complete list of on-call consultants, architects,
public art consultants and art curators.
Tactic: Promote the use of AiPP and Arts Commission as resources via
employee newsletters and other forms of grassroots media.
1 Strategy 4: Collaborate with Applicable Agencies
Tactic: Keep communications between city agencies and AiPP open.
Annual presentations on plans, goals and proposed projects to each
other should be made.
Tactic: Maintain strong review process by AiPP and support
organizations that promote good design in Lodi. This will allow the
program to maintain quality within an open system.
Tactic: Work with Community Development Department to integrate
AiPP criterion into SPARC checklists for review of projects. This will assist
in the institutionalization of AiPP, so that every project review
incorporates the investigation of possible AiPP assistance with
matching grants.
AIPP MASTER PLAN DRAFT PAGE
GOALS
OBJECTIVE B: EXPAND ACCESS TO PUBLIC ART OPPORTUNITIES
The AiPP Program will encourage the all sectors to participate in public
a rt.
10 Strategy 1: Educate the Public about Public Art
Given the current, limited art collection of Lodi, the AiPP program
could lead the development of public information regarding esthetic
interests.
In addition to stand alone publications, public art should be included
with urban walking tours, art museum/art gallery tours and general
tourism materials.
Tactic: Digitally document existing artworks for easy sharing. AiPP staff
will develop and update every two years, a set of publication quality
digital photographs of existing artworks. The photographs would be
incorporated into electronic files and available on CD ROM and other
tourism promotional materials.
Tactic: Create and distribute printed and electronic materials to
educate the public. Include information about
❑ The Public Art process
❑ Existing works of Public Art
❑ Future Public Art opportunities
Tactic: Create urban walking tours. AiPP, working with other groups,
requests incorporation of public art into a series of on-line and printed
walking tours presented by Wine and Visitors Center and the Chamber
of Commerce.
H Strategy 2: Encourage art donations from private parties
Tactic: In conjunction with various city departments, develop a list of
sites appropriate for donations, and request pre -approval from the
agencies involved.
Like the exhibition halls of a Convention Center in bigger cities, various
public spaces in Lodi could be identified as locations for donations of
permanent public art. Individuals, corporations, non -profits or groups
of artists would utilize the pre -approved "locations."
Tactic: Establish procedures for accepting donations or memorial gifts
of artworks.
AIPP MASTER PLAN DRAFT PAGE 10
GOALS
Tactic: Create and distribute materials encouraging donations or
memorial gifts of artworks for display in pre -approved locations.
131 Strategy 3: Ensure Public Art is accessible. If the art will enhance the
quality of life of the citizens, it must be available. This seems obvious
and not many public art projects are behind locked gates in the USA,
but frequently a true evaluation of the numbers of people and drama
of the artwork is not made.
Tactic: Instruct Selection Committees that public art shall be easily
accessible and seen by a broad range of citizens everyday. If at all
possible, public art should be situated so that it is visible from the street.
Tactic: Devise methods to ensure public art is placed at diverse sites
and as much as possible, distributed evenly around the entire City.
AIPP MASTER PLAN DRAFT PAGE 11
GOALS
OBJECTIVE C: REFLECT LODI'S UNIQUE IDENTITY
The City of Lodi is a dynamic, vibrant community with unique physical
attributes of its historic architecture, wineries, and prime geographic
location in the state of California.
Art in Public Places programs around the world discover goals that reflect
the general values and cultural aspirations of the communities they serve.
But the very best add a layer that sparks a flowering of creative works that
add richness to the specific character of a place or city.
Public art has and must continue to energize Lodi by consistently
revitalizing its uniqueness. Energy and events come in two packages for
public art: "place energy" and "event production."
In place energy, permanent art contributes to the dramatic spirit of the
street, park or plaza. The downtown district creates their own sort of public
art in signs, architecture, entrances and people waiting on the sidewalk.
Of course, place energy can be quiet. Public art enhances space and
gives it purpose. The Veteran's Memorial is Lodi's most poignant example.
leal Strategy 1: Include Temporary, Changing Public Art
"Event production" is the support and creation of temporary activities.
The summer Festival Season needs events like "Art on the Square" to
bring visitors to Lodi. As the festival's reputation in the art world grows,
many large and small art installations in gardens, hotel rooms,
storefront windows, empty buildings and on sidewalks will begin to
spring from nowhere to welcome visitors to Lodi during the summer
months.
Tactic: Contribute temporary public artto annual festivals and
celebrations like Art on the Square and the Grape Festival.
Tactic: In conjunction with other departments and public comment,
develop a list of proposed permanent sites for changing artworks.
The AiPP program would create the infrastructure for temporary,
changing artworks in different media. These sites and technologies
could be associated with other events and organizations or as stand
alone events.
AIPP MASTER PLAN DRAFT
GOALS
%ii Strategy 2: Promote Lodi's AiPP Selection Criteria
Our cultural arts define our community in so many ways. It is our heart
and soul. The Art in Public Places policy establishes nine criteria for the
selection of artworks, of which three are artistic: appropriateness to the
site, quality of the work and reflection of the variety of artistic
expression.
These criteria are basic to "any public art program anywhere," but are
not particular to Lodi. The City's program should identify those
attributes that will contribute over time to a rich set of characteristics
that specifically represent Lodi.
Tactic: Establish selection criteria that reflect the unique identity of Lodi.
In order to ensure that public art reaches the above goals, selection
committees will be instructed to choose artists and works that meet the
following criteria:
❑ Beautiful. For those people that value art as part of their selection
from the menu of civic qualities, not just any art will succeed. Lodi
artworks are focused between two timelines: high quality
architectural design starting with the Victorian period and the best
of very contemporary, museum quality artworks. Artworks shall fit
into the City's architectural designs and be suitable for showcase in
a contemporary art museum.
❑ Vibrant. Vibrant is a word about interaction: people with people
and people with the environment. Bright colors, motion, electric
lights and "playing with the art" are examples of ways to contribute
to the energy of a place. Changing activities like temporary
artworks add to curiosity about a place. The vibrancy can
contribute to public safety as proven in CPTED (Crime Prevention
through Environmental Design) principles that space is safer when it
attracts a diverse group of people. Artworks should include aspects
of energy and provide attention to the place they are housed.
❑ Uncommon. "Uncommon" is the best goal for Lodi. This word
expresses what is expected by both the visitor and resident.
Everyone hopes to see something special or unique in Lodi during a
night out on the town. The word suggests "innovation" and
"creativity' and may lead to "an attraction." It requires brave
artistic risks and looking outside current ideas to stay ahead of the
curve.
❑ The Moment. The moment is some image or experience that sticks in
the human memory. The moment is usually thought of as a big
"wow" like standing at the foot of the Statue of Liberty. But a
AIPP MASTER PLAN DRAFT PAGE 13
GOALS
moment can also be one of intimacy such as a secret place to
watch a sunset. Each person has these remembered images and
feelings that were discovered in childhood or elder years.
❑ Center of the State. The body of artworks that the city collects or
supports can reflect its position at the center of the State. In Lodi,
people from all places expect to make connections with people
and things from all places. Lodi Art in Public Places can celebrate
this fact.
❑ Modern Vintage Acquisitions. With the wide range of architectural
examples from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Lodi is the
premiere location to experience modern 20th century architecture
and design. Lodi Art in Public Places could follow in this tradition
with the purchase of historic modern works or new artworks that
learned from the traditions of earlier eras.
11 Strategy 3: Plan for Lasting Artworks
Maximizing the City's investment is a unique civic animal among
government programs. Government services tend to be positive
improvements in the beginning and then decrease in value. For
example, the school system has an immediate positive effect on the
children, but in the long-term, the majority of children as adults move
to new cities. A new fire station provides better service to the
community right away, but loses value when technology changes.
The Lodi AiPP program can have BOTH an immediate positive affect
on the city and then increase in value overtime.
Planning for Art in Public Places should conceptually be divided into
two parts. Only a few cities such as Seattle and recently Philadelphia
exploit the tremendous civic potential in planning, making and
installing the artwork. Most cities do exploit the dedication, image and
reputation of the artworks once in the public realm. But it is a rare,
perhaps unknown, for a city to plan the civic value of both making the
artwork and living with the artwork.
Lodi is the place to take on the immediate and long-term value of
public art. Connections to the media and regional arts events
throughout Northern California ensure our ability to capitalize on new
projects. The experience of cities throughout the region is available to
call on, and guarantees knowledge about how long-term care and
media promotion of artworks can benefit our city.
Tactic: In developing requirements and scope of future projects,
Selection Committees will keep in mind the following criteria:
AIPP MASTER PLAN DRAFT PAGE 14
GOALS
❑ Ability to Maintain. Nothing can decrease the quality of life and
attitudes of the citizens in a city like poor maintenance and repair
of artworks. The City and the department or agency that houses the
piece must understand the requirements of future care and
maintenance before accepting the artwork.
❑ Exclusive. Every project should be considered for its immediate
impact on groups of citizens, the cultural tourists and/or the media.
Projects can be planned to grab attention through a variety of
means. (Examples: Collaboration with particular groups of citizens
to create or commission the artwork; competitions for a significant
work with state-wide concerns; artworks focusing on popular local
events.)
❑ Long Term Value. Before starting a project, it should be shaped to
create a long-term impact. This fits easiest into permanent artwork.
But temporary works can also create a long-term memory. Goals
for long-term value include: increasing the economic value of the
artwork itself by selecting the best artists; on-going contribution to
the perceived quality of Lodi's geographic territory resulting in
higher property values; visual image for civic promotion to certain
markets; and re -telling a story important to the place.
AIPP MASTER PLAN DRAFT PAGE 15
GOALS
GOAL #2: SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT
OBJECTIVE A: INSTITUTIONALIZE THE PROGRAM
The Art Advisory Board recognizes that the City's existing public art policy
is a good one, but in order to manage that program successfully, the
program requires (1) supportive directions for compliance from the Office
of the City Manager, (2) a reliable, consistent budget and (3) at least one
full-time program manager or coordinator.
With these elements, cities across the United States have instituted public
art programs that run relatively smoothly and contribute positively to the
municipality. Above all other objectives, the AiPP program requires those
three features.
It is very important to recognize that from time -to -time, public art will not
be accepted fully by various non -art agencies or consultants such as
architects and engineers. The resulting administrative discomfort is normal.
The following recommendations will help mitigate any potential problems.
23 Strategy 1: Establish Financial and Budgetary Agreements
The AiPP program requires a series of agreements on the fiscal
budgeting and management primarily between the AiPP staff, Capital
Improvement, Finance and Budget.
The City Manager's Office may be required to resolve certain issues. A
recent opinion by an interested party stated that the policy's
language regarding eligible construction costs needs to be clarified.
Tactic: Clarifythe policies and procedures to calculate and verify the
2% of appropriate construction projects.
Tactic: Elaborate on, clarify and distribute the policy and procedures
in terminology appropriate to construction project cost estimating.
Tactic: Amend the AiPP Policy by adding any such clarifications of the
qualifying costs for 2% calculation.
Tactic: Establish methods for timely coordination, review and
verification of 2% calculation between Public Works and AiPP.
AIPP MASTER PLAN DRAFT PAGE 16
GOALS
1211 Strategy 2: Ensure timely transfer of all required AiPP dollars. The City's
Policy call for Finance to transfer all appropriated AiPP moneys to
Public Art Fund within 30 days of City Council action.
Tactic: Develop and distribute standard language for the
appropriation and transfer of AiPP monies for all eligible construction
projects.
Tactic: Include AiPP as a chapter in the City's capital budget. With the
implementation of the proposed annual capital budget appropriation,
base funding for AiPP monies should be appropriated and transferred
simultaneously. Fund 12141 would be annually presented to the City
Council as a chapter of the annual capital budget.
iii Strategy 3: Facilitate Communication between Parties
Excellent communication (written and verbal) and clear responsibilities
have very positive implications in management of artworks created for
new buildings, landscapes and infrastructure.
Tactic: Create a Project Agreement Memo (PAM) for each project.
(see Appendix, Sample PAM). The PAM should be signed by the AiPP
staff, Public Works staff and other appropriate departments. At a
minimum, the PAM should include the following:
❑ Financial responsibilities.
❑ Management responsibilities.
❑ Related contractual responsibilities of the artist and
architect/engineer.
❑ Definition of the potential or actual scope of the art project.
❑ Dispute resolution method.
Tactic: Coordinate schedules. Through the leadership of particular
project managers, create coordinated schedules with milestones and
deliverables for the artist, architect and contractor for each project.
Tactic: Establish contractual language. Through the leadership of the
Public Works Office and the City Attorney, develop appropriate
contractual language for the A&E contract and Bid Documents
relating to responsibilities for coordinating with artist's work.
❑ A&E contract will delineate time and services to be provided
❑ Bid Documents will describe AiPP coordination with and site access
for the artist and his/her team.
Tactic: Develop an Intranet AiPP Database. An on-line database will
be developed forAiPP project information and scheduling with access
AIPP MASTER PLAN DRAFT
GOALS
from AiPP, Public Works, artist, architect, contractor and other
agencies.
�' Strategy 4: Plan Proactively for AIIPP Projects
The Art in Public Places program should collaborate with other
departments in mid- and long range plans to improve the urban and
natural environment of Lodi.
This collaboration will set in motion (before a construction project is fully
scoped), the methods by which art can enhance the objectives of the
building or space.
Tactic: Include AiPP staff early in the capital project planning process. If
a capital project is deemed appropriate for placement of public art,
the artists) should be hired to start during programming by the ABBE
team and not later than schematic design.
NOTE: In order to pay for these services, it will be necessary to budget
2% of design budgets toward AiPP proiects, or advance the monies
from construction budgets.
Tactic: Establish an annual planning process to review the future plans
of various departments and to discuss potential mutual benefits of an
arts project. Applicable agencies include, but are not limited to:
Community Development, Public Works, Tourism and Convention
Bureau.
': Strategy 5: Ensure Proper Artwork Maintenance and Conservation
Throughout the United States, municipalities are struggling with the
funding of maintenance of historical and modern public artworks.
Money for care is an absolute necessity as delayed conservation
results in dramatically escalated costs or devaluation of a collection.
Tactic: Inform City departments that house public art on the policy
requirement to budget for proper maintenance of pieces under their
control.
Tactic: Set acceptable levels of annual maintenance costs for any
new artwork.
Tactic: Require artists to present a maintenance schedule during the
proposal process outlining required materials and estimated costs. If
costs exceed the pre-set limit, t he Advisory Board would need to
establish, accept, and fund any costs above the pre-set levels.
AIPP MASTER PLAN DRAFT PAGE 18
GOALS
Tactic: Establish funding for first year's maintenance. Within the AiPP
Budget, establish an annual appropriation forthe first year of a
completed project's maintenance and repair. Continued
maintenance and repair must then be part of the annual budget of
the department housing the artwork.
Tactic: Create and distribute an Interagency Maintenance
Agreement. AiPP staff and the agency responsible for facility
maintenance surrounding a particular artwork will agree on the duties
of each agency. These agreements prevent both neglect and sincere,
( but damaging) maintenance by unprofessional staff. Agreements
would include:
❑ A drawing showing the areas of AiPP maintenance and facility staff
maintenance responsibilities.
❑ The dat a of an annual meeting between AiPP and on-site facility
staff.
Tactic: Survey the City's art collection. Beginning this year, and
continuing at least every ten years, professional art appraisers and
conservators will survey all City artworks. The first survey would be more
extensive as it must establish the ownership of any portable artworks in
City Hall and other facilities. The reportwill include the following:
❑ Current market value and replacement value of the artwork.
❑ Each artwork's current physical condition with photographs and
required repairs.
❑ Schedule for inspecting each artwork.
Ir: Strategy 6: Ensure Qualifications of Selected Artist
Finding the right artist for a new artwork is the single most important
step in the Aff program. The key to success is three -fold: (1) knowing
what you want, (2) contacting artists with those skills and (3) forming a
selection panel with the ability to creatively match the needs with the
talent.
Tactic: Create a database of pre -qualified and interested artists. The
AiPP staff would lead the effort to compile and edit the current
database into a single list of artists interested in public art. This
database would form the basis of postal service mailings and e-mail
notices of open calls for public art.
Tactic: Finding the Best. For each project, the AiPP staff could take time
as needed, to contact museum curators, gallery owners and other

public art programs to seek out recommendations of artists with the
