Boynton Beach, Florida June 29, 2023
F. Informational Items from the Board
Dr. Pacilli stated that she went by the mural at the pawn shop and that the artist did a
phenomenally good job. She said that she also went by the Oakwood Square and spoke
to a manager and said that everyone loves the inside part of the bench, but that everyone
hates the pink V on the backside. She mentioned that they wished that the part that faces
Congress Avenue would be painted over.
Mr. Hartmann and Mr. Velasquez agreed that the pawn shop mural was great.
Chair Moodie stated that she was privileged to speak about the art at the Riverwalk
Ribbon Cutting. She said that it is a beautiful facility and noted that the artist was present,
but did not want to be spotlighted.
G. Public Comments
None.
H. Announcements/Reports/Presentations
A. Exhibitions
1, Turgo Bastien and Traditional Haitian Artists: Closed on June 25 (Ex.
B)
Chair Moodie announced that this exhibit closed.
B. Grants / Fundraising
1. Mellon Foundation Application$100,000 Grant submitted on May 23, 2023
Mr. Weiss stated that the Mellon Foundation had requested additional minor information
and were giving off signals that the City would receive the $100K by August 1St, but that
it is not a guarantee. He advised that the Mellon Foundation Board meets in two weeks
to make the final decision and that these funds would be used to support the Heart of
Boynton Unity Program next year, and to recognize the HOB Neighborhood on the 100th
Anniversary of the Residential Segregation Ordinance.
2. Florida Grant: Governor approved the Art Grants at 67% of proposed
awards.
Mr. Weiss advised that the City applied for a $25K grant, to support the Art Program, and
67% would be about $16K, but he has not received any official announcement about it.
He advised that if the economy holds, and development occurs, the program would be
out of debt and the funds would not be

Boynton Beach, Florida June 29, 2023
used for salaries. He also clarified that the grant funds would not roll over to next year,
and would be spent.
C. Closed Opportunities
1.Six Sculptures Application: Closed on June 7
Chair Moodie announced that this exhibit closed and it is a general pool of artists that
developers can use, to find artists for their building projects.
Mr. Weiss explained the process to the Board.
D. AiPP and Private Development.
1. Development Page Update (Ex C)
Mr. Weiss stated THAT the members may see a new project on Congress Avenue.
3. Action Items
A. Motion: The artwork proposal titled "Harmony" by Patti Warashina at South
Florida PBS /WXEL, 3401 S. Congress Avenue, is approved to satisfy the Art
in Public Places requirement for the Cornelia T Bailey Cultural Arts Center
addition. (Ex D)
Note: Artwork location was approved by the Board on July 14, 2022
Mr. Weiss commented that the Board saw this project once before and had reviewed the
site. He explained that when that was approved, WXEL looked for an artist and they
identified her and her piece as noted above. He said that she is a prominent and senior
artist in the Northwest and that this piece is 15 feet tall and it will be her first work in
Florida.
Dr. Pacilli stated that she does not like what was proposed. She said that she will not
approve it, and she thought it was inappropriate. She suggested it was fine that they want
to make changes, but that it was a naked woman sitting there and it does not look right.
She suggested the artist make modifications.
Mx. Ratcliff commented that the Board had asked for modifications, but not censorship,
which they felt was completely against the role of the Art Board. They suggested, in the
role that artists play, that censorship is not within the Board's purview. They said that it
is one thing to dislike the art because they do not like it, but it is another to ask them to
change it because they want it censored.
Mr. Hartmann commented that he was not a fan of it because he thinks it is ugly; it is
large, near the side of the road, part of a public institution, and he did not want another
20 feet tall piece of art. He stated that people will ask him if he is on the Art Board, and
why the art is not pretty. He noted that Delray Beach completed their pineapple mural,
but it replaced an iconic piece on 2nd and Atlantic Avenue. He noted that he was against
3

Boynton Beach, Florida June 29, 2023
demolishing it, but they wound up with something better.
Dr. Pacilli agreed that the piece was ugly, reiterating just like the V on the runway at
Oakbrook Shopping Center that faces the street, and she also said that people ask if she
approved it.
Mr. Weiss stated that the requirement is that they have to spend money on art, on the
property. He expressed his surprise and questioned if the role of this is Board is to
determine that they like the art or not. He advised that the work is done by a high-quality
artist that meets the criteria as a public artist and meets the general standards of the
community, as the developer brought forward the art they want to purchase for the site.
He mentioned that it is the owners risk the community won't like the work.
Mr. Hartmann agreed, but stated that as a Board Member, he is questioned a lot about
art that people do not like. He stated that the Board did direct the art for Gator Storage
and the artists changed the art to accommodate the Board's taste. He commented that
this art may be prominent in the Northeast, but this is South Florida. He questioned if the
sculpture would look appropriate next to the Woman's Club.
Mx. Ratcliff said that they thought this piece is indicative of the artist's work. They stated
that the artist was exceptionally cool and did not think, subjectively, it is the Board's job
to say if they like the piece or not, if it meets the criteria that the program has for the
developers. They noted, regarding the public's concern about art, that no one from the
public was present.
Dr. Pacilli noted that the Board reviewed all the kinetic pieces, and that this was no
different.
Mx. Ratcliff explained that it is different than this, as this is on someone's property and
the developer wants this piece.
Mr. Weiss stated that the criteria is specific: does the artist have professional standing?;
can the piece be well made and maintained; and does it violate community standards?.
He stated that it is not an aesthetic judgment.
Motion
Dr. Pacilli moved to table it. Mr. Hartmann seconded the motion for discussion.
Mr. Weiss said that from a social perspective, it has nothing to do with the Board and they
announced that this project was moving forward. He noted that this is a very expensive
piece of art.

Boynton Beach, Florida June 29, 2023
Mr. Hartmann commented that the piece is 23 feet tall and it does not identify with the
cultural identity of Boynton Beach.
Mr. Weiss stated that the piece is 12 feet tall and 15 feet with the base.
Vote
The motion passed.
Mx. Ratcliff suggested that since it is tabled, the discussion at the next meeting should
include a copy of exactly what they should be discussing.
Mr. Hartmann suggested that Mr. Weiss let WXEL know it does not fit the character of
Boynton Beach's artistic identity and that he believes the Board's mission is to further the
City's cultural and artistic identity and that the Board Members should help curate the look
and feel of the art in Boynton Beach.
B. Motion: The following artists accepted into the Artist Roster 2023-2026 for
possible selection for public art projects with the City and others. Carlos
Azuaje, Daniela Sanchez Vegas, Delia Miller, Elise Rubin, John Carollo, Keith

Drummond, Richlin Burnett-Ryan, Sara Augustin, Sitki Dogan and Tiffany
Beasi

E):

voted on as noted above and he had explained the scoring. He advised that the votes are
noted for the public record and that the Board needs to ratify their decision.
Motion
Mx. Ratcliff moved to accept the votes they selected, so that they can put forth this group
of artists. Mr. Hartmann seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

Meeting Minutes
Art Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida June 29, 2023
Mr. Hartmann asked who shapes the identify of Boynton Beach and that maybe it should
be part of the Mission Statement.
Chair Moodie asked how much weight is given to considering the developer's interest in
using art to promote their business. She asked how the proposed artwork ties in to what
the developer is doing and noted that on one side, they have Boynton's artistic identity,
and then a developer who is funding to help them brand. She stated that they have to
blend the two and they have to find a balance between the two.
Mr. Hartmann suggested that the Board have a discussion and work with developers who
want to work with creative minded people on behalf of the community.
Mr. Weiss said that it was his experience that generally, developers want to place art that
is pleasing to the community.
The members discussed their experiences with art in Vero Beach, Sanibel, and Savannah
and that they favored themed art.
Dr. Pacilli stated that thought the matter may have to go to the City Commission, if the art
does not have a theme, and she wanted to make sure they are going in the correct
direction.
Mr. Weiss asked, on a different note, that given this and the schedule related to the Mellon
Foundation, it may be best to hold another meeting in three weeks. He commented that
he had planned to skip the July Meeting, and asked if they should meet in August or
September. He stated that he would not know about the grant until the end of the month.
Mx. Ratcliff suggested that they discuss this issue on August 10th. The members agreed.
7. Adjournment
Motion
Dr. Pacilli moved to adjourn. Mx. Ratcliff seconded the motion. The motion passed
unanimously.

The following individuals spoke in support of the artwork by Artist Patti Warishina and

Jeneissy Azcuy, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Communications, and Education
Outreach for South Florida PBS, stated that the piece represents PBS's core values

Tony Newbold, longtime resident of Boynton Beach, commented that the piece
highlights the positive influence of music and it embodies the spirit and inclusivity that
South Florida PBS is known for.
Dana Hearst, Palm Beach County Resident, said that the piece represents Palm
Beach County's rich Asian History.
Kim Taylor, Artist and Teacher, Delray Beach, said that many renown artists had their
works considered controversial, political, abhorrent and even subversive, but the piece
can stand the test of time.
Anna Cardenas, South Florida PBS employee, said that art in different mediums and
styles unifies communities.
Victoria Gallo, Lake Worth resident and PBS employee, stated that the piece was
perfect for the WXEL site.
Sara Wong, Delray Beach resident and teacher, commented that the piece is
representative of the City's Asian community; diversity does matter and it is important
to bring other artists into the community so the community can be inspired and seek
the differentiating factors that sets them apart. She said that it could be an amazing
installation.
Penny Bernath, Education Director with South Florida PBS, stated that the piece
fosters curiosity and children found it curious.
Joyce Belloise, Senior Vice President Content and Station Manager with South Florida

telling the diverse stories for this region. She read a statement from Carla Stansifer,
Art Curator, Morikami Museum, who said that she supported the piece for the location.
Joclyn Cheml, Artist and Teacher from Delray Beach, commented that the piece
promotes imagination and fantasy, which is paramount in child development.
Derek Calhoun said that it was remarkable to him how munch sexuality others are
finding in the art, He stated that one's aesthetic and preference for the art is not a
strong element to consider in their decision making, as part of the constrains put on
the Board are in place to prevent the Board from censoring the art.

Meeting Minutes
Art Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida August 10, 2023
The following individuals spoke in opposition to the artwork by Artist Patti Warishina, and
letters received in opposition are attached to the minutes:
Cindy Falco-DiCorrado, City resident, said that they do not want diversity, but do want
unity, and that the piece is Satanic and political.
Angela Cruz, City Commissioner, announced that it goes against the will of her
constituents and the Board should help local artists. She requested more feedback be
received before spending public dollars.
Ruth Fieldbeck said that a kneeling statue was inappropriate and that the piece could
invoke strong negative reactions that could cause controversy and citizens to be hurt.
Sghe stated that the piece did not exude inclusion as the piece looks like a person of
heritage and the piece could be very offensive.
Jackie Dobbans, long-time resident; said that the piece was disturbing, demonic,
intimidating, and scary, and all of the artist's works are Satanic. She mentioned that
everything on Ocean Avenue was Satanic, and she said that the community does not
want the art.
Debbie Macchia, Boynton Beach resident, said that the statue is ugly and weird, scary
and not unifying, and that the piece should have been made by a local artist. She
supported installing art that everyone would be happy about.
Debra Tarca, Boynton Beach resident and artist, stated that the statue does not
contain any elements of what the City represents and should be in a museum.
Don Hoffman, Boynton Beach resident, indicated that he thought the piece should be
inside a building. He noted that those in support of the artwork are PBS employees.
Donald Tarca, Boynton Beach resident, said that the piece is very sexual, not
appropriate, disturbing and scary for children.
Rob Kotelerico, friend of a Boynton Beach resident, commented that the statue is
hideous and the work should be from a local artist.
Hope Muglet, teacher, said that her 8th grade students are struggling, the piece is
shapeless, destructive, upsetting and is similar to item 22 of a 1958 communist
agenda that she read.
"Joseph", long-time Boynton Beach resident, commented that communism is an alien
way of thinking and it is the source of this kind of garbage. He said that the Art Board
is trying to bring the community down and that Harmony is a communist propaganda
term and the Art Advisory Board Members are propagandists. He said the Board
disgusts him with all the garbage posted around.

Meeting Minutes
Art Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida August 10, 2023
Eric Pardy, Delray Beach resident, expressed that the art is politically motivated and
not representative of a coastal fishing town. He said that diversity, equity and inclusion
is causing division and this is supposed to be the United States of America.
Janet Thompson, Artist, conveyed that the statue is a non-binary and very sexually
enticing, satanic piece that will impoverish the City and be detrimental to how people
behave in the City.
Thomas Turkin, Boynton Beach Vice Mayor, said that the piece is not art that belongs
in Boynton Beach and it should be sent back.
No one else coming forward, Public Comments was closed.

Art Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida August 10, 2023
Mr. Weiss stated that this would be discussed later in the meeting.
D. AiPP and Private Development.
a. Development Page Update (Ex Cl)
b. Review of Criteria for Approval of Private Development Artwork(Ex C2)
Mr. Weiss said that in the last two years, they have not conducted a real briefing of the
Board's roles and responsibilities and the guidelines of the approval process He said
that the Board's job is to review the art for compliance with the AIPP Guidelines. He said
that an owner can put art on their property without the Board's review, so the issue is
does the art comply with the AiPP Program.
Mr. Weiss reviewed that the Ordinance contains a definition of a work of art and a
professional artist. He said that the Board's duties are to exercise its authority to approve,
approve with conditions, or deny installations based on the AiPP Guidelines. The
members can vote how they want.
Mr. Weiss advised that the Art Ordinance stipulates that there will be guidelines for the
Board to review the work, which he reviewed. He said that the current Guidelines and
Ordinance they have were written by the Arts Commission and have not been amended
since 2005. He mentioned that the Art Advisory Board did update these Guidelines for
the private sector last year, and the Art Advisory Board recommended them to the City
Commission, but they are still waiting to be reviewed. He commented that the guidelines
in effect are the ones from 2005, that are contained on page 11, Exhibit C2 of the meeting
material.
(Dr. Pacilli left the dais at 7:43 P.M.)
Mr. Weiss reviewed the criteria for selecting artists, as contained on page 10 and 11, and
said that in addition to the criterion in the Ordinance, these add to other criterion related
to the artist themselves should be utilized, which he explained.
(Dr. Pacilli returned to the dais at 7:46 P.M.)
Mr. Hartmann noted that they have the framework for an artist. He expressed that this is
one part of how they select the art, but they also have the 2005 Guidelines, Mission
Statement and Program Overview, which is Exhibit C2, which he read.
Interim Assistant City Attorney Jadoo explained that this is the criteria and if the Board
feels that the piece does not meet the criteria, they can vote not to accept the piece, but
the focus is the criteria listed, which should support everything else.
Mr. Velazquez stated that he understood that the criteria is a guide for accepting or
declining work. He commented on the Program Overview, but said that when trying to
6

Meeting Minutes
Art Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida August 10, 2023
isolate City images and create a positive image and identity, that is where one can get
into a belief system and a political agenda. He requested confirmation that they must
conduct due diligence using the criteria.
Interim Assistant City Attorney Jadoo responded that they do.
Mr. Hartmann stated that page 12, was the nuts and bolts that they are reviewing, but
thought that pages 12, 13, 14, were excluded from their thought processes, and that they
would better shape their decision-making processes as contained on pages 41 and 42.
He said that he thought he should be guided by those other purviews. He said that he
wanted to ensure the Board Members have the discretion to approve, deny or approve
with conditions, and it would be more right by following pages 12 and 13, than the page
before.
Chair Moodie said that she wanted to review items 1-6 and 1-9 on page 11, Exhibit C2,
as they are more objective for her. She commented that when she looks into art
enhancing the City's image, there are different interpretations of how to enhance and that
she respects everyones opinion. She noted that the Board is diverse and stated that
what one sees as beauty, others may not, and vis-a-versa. She said that she places
more weight on page 11, which is more objective in scope.
Mx. Ratcliff agreed stating that they have a clear list for the artist and artwork that does
not give rise to their objective opinions on the art.
Interim Assistant City Attorney Jadoo commented that the Ordinance says the Board has
the authority to approve, disapprove or approve with conditions, as it meets the
guidelines, and the criteria in the guidelines are listed. She stated that how the Board
reaches their determination of the guideline is up to the Board, as there is no directive
there, but the guidelines provide very clear criteria that the Board needs to go through
when making their decision.
Mr. Velazquez inquired if the art is on private property.
Mr. Weiss responded that it was on private property, owned by WXEL.
Chair Moodie requested that Mr. Weiss explain what direction was given to them in
making their decision to select this piece.
Mr. Weiss explained that she would have to ask WXEL.
Dr. Pacilli commented that page 11, criteria, item 7, says that there are things that could
clarify it with other items in the AIPP on pages 12,13, and 14.
Mr. Hartmann noted that the Board has directed other artists to make changes and that
the artist appeared and made changes.

Mx. Ratcliff pointed out that the Board asked for objective changes and that the Board
was not fundamentally changing the artwork. They expressed that if there are objective
comments to offer they could, but none of the comments they heard were objective.
E. City Commission Actions and Discussion
a. Advisory Board and Art in Public Places Ordinance Changes.
Readings on August 15 & Sept 5
Mr. Weiss reminded the Board that there would be some changes and the City
Commission is recommending that at least four members of the Art Advisory Board be
artists, designers, curators and art aficionados. He noted that the current makeup of the
Board meets that criteria.
(Mr. Hartmann left the dais at 8:07 P.M.)
Mr. Weiss further reviewed the changes to the AiPP Ordinance, which the Board had
previously discussed. He commented that he added a new paragraph that explains what
happens when a new owner buys property that has existing art that the owner does not
like. He explained that the new owner can install a new artwork on the property, equal to
the value or the art, or give the funds to the City to be used to place art elsewhere in the
City.

Note: Requires action for removal from the Table.
Note: Artwork location was approved by the Board on July 14, 2022
Delores Fernandez Alonso, President and CEO of WXEL, said that of all the audiences
they serve, they focus on kids programming to give youth the best chance possible. She
reviewed a slide presentation, as contained in the meeting materials. She stated that the
piece, Harmony, meets all the criteria. She stated they are the only station producing
local content and a short video presentation showing how children interacted with the
sculpture was given.
Dena Rigby, Art Appraiser, spoke about the artist, and stated that the artist works have
been acquired for museum collections and it means her artwork was vetted for
acquisitions by public institutions, internationally. She shared standards for describing
cultural property, which utilizes the Getty Object Identification System. She said that the
female figure clothed in abstract musical scores is conducting an imaginary orchestra
while balanced on the planet earth. She stated that the sculpture meets the criteria, which
she reviewed.
Dave Lawrence, President and CEO of the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, via
video, voiced his support of the piece.
Mr. Weiss stated that he included a complete staff report in the meeting materials.
Motion
Mx. Ratcliff moved that the artwork proposal titled "Harmony" by Patti Warashina at South
Florida PBS /WXEL, 3401 S. Congress Avenue, is approved to satisfy the Art in Public
Places requirement for the Cornelia T Bailey Cultural Arts Center addition be approved.
Mr. Velazquez seconded the motion.
Dr. Pacilli thanked WXEL for attending and for their presentation. She noted that this
item was on the table in June and asked why was it being presented at this meeting.
Ms. Rigby responded that she did not know. She said that they supplied the City with all
the required materials and the packet Mr. Weiss gave them. She stated that they were
told that was all that was needed.
Mr. Weiss explained that the item was on the agenda for the June meeting, but he was
on vacation and the meeting was cancelled, so they then had a special meeting on June
29tH Mr. Weiss stated that he told WXEL that they did not need to attend.
Mx. Ratcliff said that they thought it may be an interesting inclusion to have in-person
interviews when reviewing artwork.
Chair Moodie thought they can include this in future selections.

Meeting Minutes
Art Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida August 10, 2023
Mr. Hartmann asked if the piece was part of a series.
Ms. Rigby responded that it was not, and that it was unique for South Florida PBS.
Mr. Hartmann commented that the piece was chosen in 2022, but WXEL only recently
came before the Board. He said that it seems like the Board Members were left out of
the art approval process.
Ms. Rigby stated that they were told there were three requirements that had to be fulfilled.
She said that she was advised that a private owner chooses the artwork, which included
national and Florida-based artist searches, but their first choice, by a Florida artist, had
extensive maintenance issues. She stated that they had to satisfy placement, quality,
that the piece not look like a logo, and that it would come before the Board.
Dr. Pacilli asked what the life expectancy of the statue was.
Ms. Rigby responded that the artist is required to have a 10-year maintenance report,
which was in the proposal sent, and that they asked the artist for the cost of maintenance
over the long term.
Mr. Hartmann thanked all who attended and the artist. He read the PBS Mission
Statement as it pertained to acquiring art and said that he, personally, feels that the piece
does not live up to the Mission Statement and that it was not appropriate for children or
the community. He said that he felt like the Art Advisory Board was not approached and
that he did not want developers to install art that was distasteful and that the Board could
do nothing about. He said that the project is a no go and that he will vote no.
Mr. Hartmann said that the decision was made in December and asked how does the Art
Board fit in with this selection.
Mr. Weiss explained that private developers do not have requirements for a selection
system as they had their own system. He said that he did not know they made a decision
in December as they came to him in May and he tried to move as quickly as possible and
he did request they come forward to make a presentation. He explained that in most
cases, he advises that they come forward with the artist first and then the artwork.
Mx. Ratcliff stated that PBS has followed every step in the process and that it is not their
job to run the artist by the Board, it is their job to show up to say this is where we want to
place the art, which they have done, and then when they have selected the artist using
the process they have used for years, the Board then approves the art, which is what they
are doing. She commented that there is no authority or power being usurped, rather what
was occurring was a huge overreach of the authority of the Art Board. They reiterated
PBS did all they were,asked to do and that the Board Members are not petty tyrants, that
run the art and the art that is in the City. They reiterated that PBS is a private developer
doing what they are supposed to have done. They further pointed out that one thing that
happens frequently in art, is they encounter someone who speaks over someone who is
10

Meeting Minutes
Art Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida August 10, 2023
part of a marginalized community. They stated that they is disabled, a disability activist,
and a wheelchair user and that they found the idea that Mr. Hartmann would speak for
her and her community, about earlier comments he made pertaining to Barrier Free Park,
was absolutely distasteful. They suggested that he should be careful about who he
speaks for and who he speaks about when speaking about art and who is represented in
the City.
Chair Moodie explained that the members need to look at the developers options, which
are to place their own art on site following the guidelines provided, or they can transfer
the required funds to the City for them to handle art in the City, as contained on page 12
of the meeting materials.
Dr. Pacilli spoke about page 11 and repeated that the survey she conducted reflected
147 people as a point of due diligence. She elaborated that she went to Barrier Free Park
and Caloosa Park and spoke to residents there. She told survey participants that it was
a 12-foot statue that was proposed to installed in front of WXEL. She read comments
received from her survey about the statue, indicating that: it does not belong in Boynton
Beach, as it does not represent the community; that if installed, residents would go to
the City Commission and ask for it to be removed; some liked it; some didn't care; that
the art was nice and curious, but it belongs somewhere else; the City is a family, tropical
community, and that it does not represent it.
She said that she used US Census data, which indicated that as of July 1, 2022, the Asian
community in the City was 2.7%, which she said was a very small amount. She
mentioned that some of the individuals surveyed were Asian and that they did not like it.
She further offered that she was told that the art projects should be consistent and
embrace the City's vision and promote culture. She stated that this piece met some
criteria, but that overall, it did not. She noted that it was clearly voiced that the piece was
not wanted. She thought if the artist would come back with something else, she would
consider it, but she cannot support this piece.
Mr. Velazquez asked Dr. Pacilli if she conducted due diligence on every project that was
approved. He noted that they keep saying that the City is a multi-ethnic/multi-cultural
City, not based on percentages. He said that his impression of the prior comments was
that because the artist represented a very small part of the community, the art was being
discounted. He offered that when he saw the Statue, it brought back beautiful memories
of his youth, which he shared.
Dr. Pacilli responded that she has done due diligence on every piece that has come
before the Board.
Mx. Ratcliff commented that an unofficial survey, conducted by a person who is biased
against the art, that represents a tiny percentage of the population, by someone who
already decided and made it clear that she will vote against the statue, does not have
anything to do with their decision as a Board. They noted that if there were people who
11

Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach, Florida August 10, 2023
wanted to show up and have the conversation, the room is always open, but she objected
to the statement that because the Asian population in the City is a small percentage, that
they do not deserve representation or to be part of diversity. They pointed out that they
are not the only one who read that into the statement.
Mr. Hartmann commented that the public and two Commissioners came to voice their
displeasure, that the piece is not for families and the Board was not given the information
earlier so the public could not attend.
Vote
The motion passed 3 — 2, (Dr. Pacilli and Mr. Hartmann dissenting. Ms. Alexis
abstaining).
VII. Old Business
Solid Waste Truck Drivers Project
Review, Discussions and Recommendation regarding "Kings of the Streets"
proposal for artwork by Gary Moore (Ex E)
Mr. Weiss stated that this project was delayed and Mr. Moore is present. He explained
that this is not a request for approval, rather it is for feedback. He said that Mr. Moore
met with numerous drivers and spoke to them about the project, and all indications are
they are in support of this idea. He mentioned that the Public Works Director and Deputy
City Manager think things can be technically worked out.
Gary Moore from Solid Waste stated that he was not prepared to make a presentation,
but he reviewed each page of the proposal and said that the mission was to give Solid
Waste Drivers visibility and community. He commented that the drivers do their work each
day, but are unrecognized and that this endeavor would uplift them and show them not
be a faceless community. He reviewed the Kings of the Street project and said that what
is currently popular in pop-culture is the wearing of crowns, which is a cultural moment
recognizing unrecognized and underserved groups.
He reviewed a PowerPoint presentation and explained that the Crown is supposed to be
affixed to the vehicle that is a portable, movable, kinetic art piece and it creates an art
piece that moves throughout the City daily.
(Dr. Pacilli left the meeting at 9:37 P.M.)
Mr. Moore explained that the Commission has two parts: first to create visibility for the
vehicle driver; and second, to interview every driver. He commented that he can create
a half hour video about the initiative. He added that the crowns are meant to have color.

Call to Artists Procedure and Artist Selection Methods
Art Jury Committee/Panel
A jury is selected by canvassing art professionals that will make up a credible panel for
the purpose of judging art for the Art in Public Places Program. The panel will consist of
curators, architects, artists, teachers, photographers, writers and other art professionals
who have established notoriety and National or International accomplishments. The Arts
Commission recommends in the case of a Call to Artists for a developer project that a
City Representative, CRA Representative and a developer representative become
members of the Jury Panel. This jury will be selected and managed by the Arts
Commission. Once a Call to Artist is initiated and proposals are collected, the Art Jury
Committee will receive the applications from the Arts Commission and narrow down the
candidates to the designated number. The Arts Commission will then send a letter to
each candidate to alert him or her of the next step (outlined in "Call to Artists"). The
candidates will then meet the next level of criteria and submit materials for final judging.
The Art Jury Committee will receive this material, review it and set up a one on one
interview with the artists to have them present the project. The Art Jury Committee will
select a finalist and present the finalist to the Arts Commission. The Arts Commission will
announce the finalist, have the selected artist, and project officially made known.
ARTWORK SELECTION
A. Selection Criteria for Artists
General criteria to consider in selecting artists for public or private projects should
include:
1. The aesthetic and technical quality and originality of the artist's previous work as
evidenced by slides and other supporting materials;
2. The artists previous experience with public art projects of a similar scale and
scope;
3. The artist's demonstrated ability to execute and complete a project in a timely and
professional manner;
4. The artist's ability to communicate ideas verbally and visually, and work effectively
in a team environment;
5. The appropriateness of the artist's proposal to the particular project and its
probability of successful completion;
6. A wide variety of nationally known artists as well as local artists.
B. Selection Criteria for Artwork

Recommendations
2. Media: all visual forms and media may be considered, subject to the selection jury
or the Arts Commission;
3. Style: artworks of all schools, styles, and tastes should be considered;
4. Response to Site: artworks and art places should be appropriate in scale, material,
form, content, and value for the immediate, general, social, and physical
environments with which they are to relate;
5. Team Approach: encourage the early involvement of the artist as a member of the
project design team of architect, engineer, landscape architect, etc.;
6. Durability: consideration should be given to structural and surface integrity,
permanence, and protection against theft, vandalism, weathering, excessive
maintenance and repair costs;
7. Elements of Design: consider that public art, in addition to meeting aesthetic
requirements, may also serve to establish focal points, terminate areas, modify,
enhance, or define specific spaces or establish identity;
8. Public Liability: artworks and art places should be examined for unsafe conditions
or factors that may bear on public liability;
9. Diversity: strive for diversity of style, scale, media, artists, community values, forms
of expression, and equitable distribution of artworks throughout the City.
C. Selection Methods
Artworks for private projects may be selected in a variety of methods. In addition to
advertising of projects, the planned Art in Public Places Program Artist Registry will be a
resource for the review and direct selection of an artist or artwork. Selection methods may
include but are not limited to:
1. Open Competition: The project is advertised locally, regionally, nationally or
internationally and through the planned artist data bank. Interested artists may
submit materials for review, which include slides, letter of interest, resume and
supplementary materials such as reviews, articles, books or brochures.
2. Limited Invitational: A selected number of artists are invited to submit materials for
review. Artist finalists may be selected to submit detailed models for the project for
which they will be paid a fee.
3. Invitation: One artist is invited to submit materials for review, and may be
commissioned to create a detailed proposal.
4. Direct purchase: An existing work is purchased for a specific project.

Commissioned Art Procedure
City or Developer meets with Arts Commission to review the project and its specs. This is
where we get the following information and evaluate the proposed project. It is a fact
finding and information sharing session. The Project Manager or developer will give
information about their intent and scope of the project. The Arts Commission will provide
feedback on the art participation in the project. The Arts Commission member present at
the meeting will bring the following information back to the Art Commission meeting for
discussion:
• Description of the project
• Target Market for Project
• Specs of the Project
• Timeframe
• Budget for the project
The Arts Commission will prepare the projects criteria, evaluate whether the project will
need to incorporate art as a purchase or commission. If a commission is determined then
the Arts Commission will initiate a "Call to Artists".
A "Call to Artists" is a process in which artists locally, nationally or internationally can
submit via application process their credentials and materials to determine eligibility for
the project. They are competing for the award to produce the Art in Public Places project.

Recommendations
The Arts Commission prepares project criteria and determines the scope of the Call to
Artists contest. A database will be managed, of artists, organizations and associations in
which the Call to Artists can be executed. The Arts Commission will determine the scope
of the project and whether the Call to Artist should be limited to local artists or opened to
national and/or international artists. The Arts Commission will then define the project and
prepare a document that details the project. The criteria will depend upon the level of
scope of artists the Arts Commission wants to "Call". The preliminary "Call to Artists"
information should include:
• Project title
• Project goals/budget
• Artist Eligibility
• Criteria Guidelines
• Application Process
• Selection Process
• Submission guidelines and mailing instructions
• Entry deadlines dates
• Finalists Responsibilities
Once this information is determined, the Arts Commission will contract a design firm to
produce graphics for the initial "Call to Artist' information. The first release is designed to
get an initial interest and awareness in the project.
*This is demonstrated by Article labeled "Call to Artist' interest info in the Research
Document.
The information can be distributed through mailings, posted on the Arts Commission web
site, through news releases targeted towards existing associations, organizations and
publications. The interested parties reply to the mailer requesting a Preliminary
Submission Form. The article in the Research Document is an example of a preliminary
"Call to Artists". This information can be obtained by either mailing the info to the artist or
by downloading a pdf from the Arts Commission web site. This is step two of the art
selection process. The forms are completed by the Artist and submitted by the deadline.
The applications are reviewed by the Art Jury Panel, which narrows down the candidates
to the designated number. The Arts Commission will then send a letter to each candidate
to alert him or her of the next step. This step will require a complete proposal for the
project meeting all of the projects criteria. In addition, the artist will be required to create
a maquette or mock up of the project. The artists are paid a fee to create a maquette or
mock up of the project. The information that will be required in this proposal is:
• How the artists work relates to the site and the design addresses the site needs
• How the artwork meets the criteria for the project
• What interests the artist about the project
• Proposed materials samples

The Art Jury panel sets up a one-on-one interview with the artists to have them present
the project proposal. The Art Jury Panel will select a finalist and present the finalist to the
Arts Commission. The Art Commission will release the finalist and have the selected
artist and project officially announced. The Artist then is contracted to do the project and
the project is processed through the technical review board and permit process.
