Item 8 Staff Report Accept Arts Commission Recommendation Regarding the Membership of the Art Selection PanelMEETING DATE: 4-15-96 ITEM NO. COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT DATE: April 8, 1996 TO: MAYOR AND TO COUNCIL FROM: TOWN MANAGER SUBJECT: ACCEPT ARTS COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE ART SELECTION PANEL RECOMMENDATION: That the Council accept the Arts Commission's recommendation to appoint the following persons to the Art Selection Panel: 1. Arts Commission: Arts Commissioner Brian Carleton 2. Artist from Our Community: Marian Clayden 3. Citizen from Community: Dr. Fawn Powers 4. Arts Professional: Leon Kaplan 5. Town Commission (for the area affected): Planning Commissioner Leonard Pacheco BACKGROUND: Resolution 1992-78 concerning long-term loans, gifts, purchases and commissions of art works for public installation establishes an Art Selection Panel. A copy of the resolution is attached as Attachment 1. The Committee's primary responsibility is to advise the Arts Commission regarding the acceptance of gifts and loans of artworks to the Town. It also considers the renewal or non -renewal of loaned art work for recommendation to the Commission. The Commission, in turn, makes recommendations to the Town Council. The resolution requires that Council appoints the members of the Art Selection Panel. Panel members are to serve two- year, staggered terms. The panel is comprised of five members: an Arts Commissioner, an artist from the community, a citizen from the community, an arts professional, and a Town Commissioner. The recommendation outlined above was presented to the Town Council on February 20, 1996. Action was not taken at the time due to concerns that Town Commissioners were not adequately informed of the Arts Commission's recruitment for Art Selection Panel applicants in the Town Commissioner category. DISCUSSION: Members of the last Art Selection Panel were appointed in March 1991, at which time no term limit was specified. The group has since disbanded. New tasks have recently arisen requiring the consideration of the Art Selection Panel. Consequently, the Arts Commission's Public Art Subcommittee met in January to consider possible candidates for the Art Selection Panel. The Subcommittee discussed candidate options with the Arts Commission at its February meeting, and the Commission voted to recommend to Council those individuals identified above. As noted, Council postponed voting on recommended appointments until further recruitment could take place. PREPARED BY: Regina A. Fa Community Services D.

No applications were submitted by the March 15, 1996 deadline. Three other residents, qualified for appointment under the "art professional" category, were also mailed a recruitment notice and application form. Again, no responses were received by the March 15 deadline. The Public Art Subcommittee met again on March 19, 1996 to finalize its recommendations to the Arts Commission (Attachment 3) and voted to uphold its previous recommendation. The Subcommittee further determined that the recommended candidate under the art professional category, Mr Leon Kaplan, Director of Art and Culture for the City of Palo Alto, while not a Town resident, would bring a valuable and experienced perspective to the Panel. His appointment as a non-resident is not restricted under the Town's Public Art Selection Policy and Procedure. 1. Arts Commission: Arts Commissioner Brian Carleton 2. Artist from Our Community: Marian Clayden 3. Citizen from Community: Dr. Fawn Powers 4. Arts Professional: Leon Kaplan 5. Town Commission: Planning Commissioner Leonard Pacheco CONCLUSION: Staff concurs with the Arts Commission's recommendation. Appointment of the individuals will allow the Arts Commission to proceed with consideration of loan agreement renewals with Paul Gorenuic ("Space Dance for Peace IV" sculpture) and Eric Ziemelis Callan" sculpture). Appointment will also facilitate the review of the Town's Public Art Policy and augment support provided to the Forbes Mill Footbridge Mural project. In order to comply with the staggered term requirement outlined in Resolution 1992-78, Panel members, following appointment, will establish individual terms, staggered and not exceeding two years. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The Art Selection Panel is not a project as defined under CEQA, and no further action is required. FISCAL IMPACT: None.

It shall be deemed to be an art work of lasting aesthetic value. b.

Public Liability: Each art work shall be examined and approved for safety conditions and factors which may bear upon public liability. f. Diversity: The overall Public Art Program shall consider diversity in style, scale, and media. g. Technical Feasibility: (For purchases or commissions) Each art work shall be examined for convincing evidence of the artist's ability to successfully complete the art work as proposed. 2 h.
