Attachment 1 Public Benefit Assessment for Public Art Research Study Prepared by The Arts and Culture Commission for the Town of Los Gatos Final Report: January 2018 Summary In January 2016, after almost a two-year deliberation, the Arts & Culture Commission of Los Gatos (ACC) presented a comprehensive Strategic Plan to the Town Council for art and cultural enhancement in the town. The plan was accepted by the Council who encouraged its implementation. Council also voted to allot funds to begin implementing the strategic plan. The ACC used those funds to conduct research on art development and cultural enrichment practices in similar towns and cities in California and other parts of the country. The goal of the research study was to provide guidance in recom that research. The research study indicates that the majority municipalities surveyed have budgeted specific, annual amounts of money to support their arts programs. In addition to accepting private contributions, municipalities have established small development funding models that draw funding from private construction projects as an essential component of program fundraising. Conclusion The ACC believes that the positive experiences of the communities studied will benefit the Town of Los Gatos in its own quest to promoting arts and cultural enrichment in our town. Establishing a development funding model for private construction projects will be in line with similar programs in other communities that we have studied. Establishing a development funding model for private and/or public construction projects in Los Gatos will be in line with similar programs in other communities that we have studied. It will also meet the demand on a multi-year basis to fund public art projects. Recommendation Town of Los Gatos pass a Public Benefit Assessment for Public Art designating one half of one percent (.5%) of total construction costs of private development and construction projects greater than $200k. 1 PUBLIC BENEFIT ASSESSMENT FOR PUBLIC ART RESEARCH STUDY FINAL REPORT JANUARY 2018 Cities Evaluated LARGE (pop> 300k) SMALL (pop <100k) MEDIUM (pop 100k- Page 3 Page 5 300k) Page 4 Denver Newport Beach Fremont Sunnyvale Chicago Redwood City Santa Clara King County (WA) Santa Fe, NM San Mateo San Jose, CA Mountain View San Francisco Milpitas Union City Portland, OR Palo Alto Sacramento Santa Cruz Pittsburgh, PA Cupertino Gilroy Campbell 2 Cities across the U.S. have developed a variety of programs to fund public art projects in their communities. This survey of 23 cities has found that the most common ways to fund public art is through a Public Benefit Assessment for Public Art or a Percent-for-art on either public or private development, or both. Further, the survey found that: In no instances did the ordinances require a public vote. 80% of cities surveyed had a public or private percent-for-art ordinance. Such ordinances average roughly one percent of project budgets be dedicated to installing public art. The intent of such ordinances is to enhance aesthetics and the belief that a well-funded public art program creates a more desirable community in which to live and work. Public art programs also help foster local economic development, promote general welfare, and create a more socially connected community. The fundraising model fee schedules studied range from cities that do not require a specific percentage a specific percentage to up to two percent. Many cities calculate the percentage from all capital improvement projects. The most common fee schedule is using a percentage of the cost of construction projects. e.g., public and/or private improvement construction projects, to support public art project funding. The matrixes below provide a quick overview of how cities, large and small are using public or private funding models. They are followed by charts that break the cities and funding sources into categories. Next, an overview of each city and its funding programs is detailed in the report. They are descending order of population size.) ### 3 Large Cities (Population over 300,000) City Population Does the City Are public % used to fund Is there a percent-Private Funding have a construction public art for-art program Model percent-for-monies used to assessing private art program? fund art? development?

King County, Washington (Seattle) Background: It took over a decade for the state to pass a law that allowed counties to propose a tax for greater access and education for arts, science, and heritage. Voter fatigue, or at least 12 population earning $25,000 or less is considered one of the five most tax-burdened low-income 1 urban groups. The city does have a Percent-for-art program which will be discussed later. Population: 2,117,000 Solution: A sales tax to provide more access to culture, science, and heritage education in all of 2 King County, Washington, including Seattle. Name of assessment: The assessment did not pass a public vote. It was called King Proposition Who championed it: King County Executive Dow Constantine announced on March 9, 2017 an ordinance sent to the King County Council to place the proposition on the August ballot. The Seattle Art Museum, celebrities such as Bill Nye the Science Guy, and Sen. Reuven Carlyle all supported the tax. Did it require a public vote: Yes, on August 1, 2017. It failed to pass, 50.9% to 49.1%. 33.7% of registered voters participated. Start Date: Never implemented. Fee Schedule: Proposed 0.1 percent sales tax. This amounts to one penny for every $10. For a household with an income of $80,000, that projected as $30 a year. Payment method: Sales tax. Goal of assessment: Raise money for over 350 organizations to create greater access and education for arts, science, and heritage institutions. Their focus was to serve impoverished -class learning experiences in every county school district, 3 along with providing students with transportation and Legal Basis: On July 6, 2015, SHB2263 the Cultural Access Washington Program was signed into law. It allows for the creation of local programs in a city or county that will benefit cultural and education organizations.

The tax can be no higher than a 0.1% sales tax and property tax. 4 In King County, however, only a sales tax could be used. Examples of what public funding could be used for: reduced or free admission expanding opportunities for diverse and underserved populations and communities increasing public access through technology 5 building capacity of community based organizations including capital need Breakdown of funds distribution for proposed tax: 20% dedicated to ensuring public school access to in-class programming and cultural sites that promote art, science, and heritage. This would include transportation. Low income families and seniors would have received free or subsidized access to almost 40 major arts, science, and heritage organizations. The rest of the monies would be distributed to community-based and cultural organizations that match the goals of the tax Legally allowed funds breakdown per state law: 1.25% to create an agency to administer the funds 10% of remaining funds for public school access 70% of remaining funds for regional cultural (annual revenues over $1.25 million) o Cannot be more than 15% of organizations annual revenues o No less than 20% of funds must be allocated to public school access Approximately 28% to smaller, community based organizations Up to 8% of remaining funds allocated for the administrative expense of the public agency handling the money Who collects the money: King County. Who directs the money: 4Culture the cultural funding agency for King County would award the money through public panels and contracts. 4 https://www.culturalaccesswa.org/shb-2263-bill-summary 5 https://www.culturalaccesswa.org/shb-2263-bill-summary 14 Oversight: All recipients would need to provide continuous documentation of meeting 6 benchmarks to 4Culture.

Tax Revenues: 2015: $9.8 million C HART FROM RACC.ORG In 2016-17, RACC was provided $3.3 million in arts tax money, $1.35 million more than 2015.

Since 2013, it has averaged 7.7 percent administering the tax. In more recent years, it is closer to nine percent. Consequently, nearly $1 million was diverted from 2012-2015. Furthermore, RAAC has received between $1.4 million and $2.2 million less than planned each year. The issue is further compounded because the city has less money than expected (due to a low collection rate) to use to convince citizens to pay the tax. This includes mailing reminders. Furthermore, a rush of last-minute payments caused the website to crash in its first year. ome 14 There have been suggestions from City Council members to move the administrative cap up to 12 percent, remove it all together, or cover the expenses over five percent with money from the general fund. That would take money away from other areas, however. Consequently, any city proposing such a tax needs to project an accurate percentage of how much of the tax will go to administration/collection of it. ask the the frustration with the tax.
