Meeting Minutes Arts Commission Boynton Beach, Florida October 23, 2007 Chair Ready requested clarification of the following sentence which appeared in the last paragraph under Development Projects: "Ms. Coles-Dobay expressed the project did not represent the entirety of what the Arts Commission was about." Ms. Coles-Dobay clarified that the Heritage Highwaymen Program was the project referred to in the sentence. Motion Ms. Richman moved to accept the minutes as amended. Ms. Moeller seconded the motion that passed unanimously. V.

The members will be distributing the brochure at various locations. · The Children1s Services Council would be moving forward with the project and anticipated having a grand opening in December 2007. · Information was previously provided for the Dr. Mote's Wellness and Rehab selection panel for the candidates that submitted public art concepts for the project. The selection panel would be meeting October 29, 2007, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Planning and Zoning conference room in the West Wing of the City Hall complex. Dr. and Mrs. Mote would be in attendance, as would Ms. Moeller and Ms. Wolf. Ms. Budano would like to attend as well. VI. Legal - Review of Sunshine Law (10 minutes) Jacob Horowitz, Esq., of the City Attorneis office, advised he was asked to provide a brief overview of the Sunshine Law, Public Records Law and relevant Ethics Provisions of the State Statutes. The Sunshine Law was codified in Article 1, Section 24, of the State Constitution and in Chapter 286.011 of the Florida Statutes, and provided for open government. The Sunshine Law applied to all elected and appointed boards throughout the State, including all County Commissions, City Commissions, Advisory Boards and School Boards, but did not apply to the Legislature. 2 Meeting Minutes Arts Commission Boynton Beach, Florida October 23, 2007 Three requirements of the Sunshine Law were: (1) all public meetings must be properly noticed; (2) minutes must be taken at every meeting; and (3) all meetings must be open to the public and held in a public place. Reasonable notice would generally denote 72 hours, depending upon the circumstances and the items being addressed. A clerk or secretary would take the minutes, which would become public record upon conclusion of the meeting. A public meeting could not be held in an individual's home unless the home was opened to the public and noticed accordingly. From a procedural standpoint, the Sunshine Law prohibited any two members of the same collegial body from discussing any information that might come before that body in a public forum. In a public meeting, a board would be free to discuss the issues and take action in its official capacity. The board should not be having discussions either before the meeting or once the meeting had adjourned. The Sunshine Law was intended to deter people from engaging in public business in a private setting. Violations would generally be considered civil, non-criminal infractions, and penalties could include fines of up to $500 and removal from the board. The Sunshine Law also applied to e-mails. If a "blast" e-mail were sent to all members of a board and a member replied to all board members, that response would be a violation of the Sunshine Law. This, however, would not apply to City staff, or the board liaison. Additionally, an intermediary could not be used to go between board members. Board members cited instances wherein they discussed what had occurred at the previous meeting. Attorney Horowitz indicated those conversations should not take place and would constitute a violation of the Sunshine Law. The board also requested clarification as to communicating with the media prior to taking any formal action. Attorney Horowitz explained there would be nothing to preclude the board from talking with the media. The Sunshine Law strictly applied to the board's colleagues, as well as eliciting a response to an e-mail. It would be the interaction and exchange that would rise to the level of a violation, and not necessarily the voicing of one's opinion. When in doubt, it would be best not to discuss public issues in a private setting. A presentation to be made to the board by board members would require formal action of the board establishing a subcommittee at a public meeting. All subcommittee meetings would have to be public and properly noticed. Two or more board members serving on a selection panel could speak generally at the forum, but could not speak directly to each other. The board members would be free to interact and exchange ideas, as not everyone on the selection panel would be a member of the board. The two board members sitting on the selection panel could 3 Meeting Minutes Arts Commission Boynton Beach, Florida October 23, 2007 then return to the board, and at a public forum, vote or take whatever action was required with regard to the candidates selected by the selection panel, and move the process forward. If two board members were in the Commission Chambers for the purpose of making a presentation to the City Commission, they would be prohibited by the Sunshine Law from speaking to each other prior to the presentation, as the issue could come back to the board at some time in the future. With regard to the Public Records Law, Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, everything that would be tangibly possessed, including e-mails, in the furtherance of the business of an appointed or public official, would be part of the public record. Exceptions would include medical information, bank financial statements and home addresses of law enforcement personnel. However, for specific purposes and when in doubt, all notes taken, and anything received in a public forum and in one's capacity as an advisory board member, would all be part of the public record. This would also include anything sent from a personal e-mail address. Minutes from a meeting, even though they may be subject to change, become part of the public record as soon as the meeting closed, and before formal approval. Chapter 112 of the Florida Statutes addressed voting conflicts. A board member would be obligated to vote on all matters before the board, and could only abstain from voting on a measure which would inure to his or financial gain or loss. A board member could not abstain simply because he or she did not wish to vote on a specific issue. The Code of Ethics for Public Officials Elected and Appointed dealt with general ethics law, including acceptance of gifts, and people that lobby before the board. As to gifts, the common sense or short answer would be to not accept gifts. VII. Dumpster Mural Program A. 16 Minutes - Each member will have 2 minutes to make NEW comments A discussion ensued with regard to time limitations. Ms. Arflin requested and received clarification that two elements were proposed for the board to observe: (1) comments were to be new; and (2) comments were to be limited to two minutes in duration. While Ms. Arflin did not object to the elements, she believed they should be adopted internally so that everyone was aware of and in accord with the suggested elements. Chair Ready commented the elements were suggested in order for the agenda to move along quickly. In accordance with Robert's Rules of Order, each member would have their turn to comment, and after everyone had an opportunity to speak, additional comments could be made. Ms. Arflin believed, from Chair Ready's comments, the 4 Meeting Minutes Arts Commission Boynton Beach, Florida October 23, 2007 proposed limitations were not intended as a rigid adherence to rules but a consensus that the board would generally abide by them, and this would be acceptable. The board agreed the two minute element was an acceptable guideline, and Ms. Arflin was comfortable with the consensus and did not see the need for a motion. Ms. Wolf believed the issue had been hashed and rehashed, and she wished to make a motion. Motion Ms. Wolf moved for the board to undertake this program at the earliest time the board's schedule allowed. The board did not believe a motion should be made in the middle of a discussion. Chair Ready advised of the City Commission's procedure for taking action on an item. Ms. Budano believed each person would have two minutes in which to make new comments. Chair Ready read the pertinent section of Parliamentary Procedure which provided a board member would make a motion, the motion would be seconded, discussed, and then a vote would be taken. Board discussion ensued, and it was noted this issue had been discussed at two previous meetings. Ms. Wolf felt the issue was discussed enough and it should be put to a vote. Ms. Moeller advised, after reviewing the information provided, she could consider the program if it was truly limited to 20 dumpsters a year. In the event of a motion, she would like the motion to provide the program would be funded by the business requesting the painting of the dumpster. This would greatly limit the board's financial responsibility. Further, she would like the program approved for one year. Thereafter, she believed the program should be reviewed in its entirety to ensure no more than 20 dumpsters would be painted. Ms. Arflin advised her objection to the program remained, not because it was elitist but because she believed it would be irresponsible for the board to enter into the project when it was not known how much the board had to spend, or whether the program would be consistent with the board's mission. Additionally, the project would require a long-term commitment, and would have to be periodically maintained and redone every four years. For these reasons, she would not be able to vote for the program. Ms. Budano believed it would be premature to vote on the project, as the board had not yet defined the Master Plan. Given the temporary nature of the project, she was uncertain whether it should be considered before other projects. She expressed 5 Meeting Minutes Arts Commission Boynton Beach, Florida October 23, 2007 concerns about the project being aligned with what the board's ordinance was attempting to accomplish, as well as concerns relating to funding, liability, and participation. She believed the tie-in with the development community would be far more significant than the program would be with regard to economic development. She was not implying the program did not have its merits, or that she would not support it at another time. However, she believed it was far too premature to consider voting on the project until the Master Plan had been defined and funding issues resolved. Ms. Richman also believed the project was premature, as the Master Plan had not yet been defined. She expressed financial concerns and believed the project would require a greater financial commitment than the board was prepared to make. Additionally, she feared the project might not be in accord with the board's mission statement. While she believed the project could be considered at some time in the future, she believed priority should be given to current projects. Ms. Brookes expressed disappointment in what she perceived was the board's lack of vision. She contended if the board had not been so narrow-minded, the merits of the program would have been clear. The project, which she and Chair Ready put together, would have provided an opportunity for the placement of artwork throughout the City. She believed it was arrogant and elitist for the board members to disassociate themselves from the program, as she believed art placed anywhere would be enriching. She felt she was not given the opportunity to explain the program. Additionally, she contended the board would not allow a subcommittee, as it would undermine the Arts Commission. She believed other projects presented by Ms. Coles-Do bay had neither a budget nor an outline, but were accepted by the board. Chair Ready felt the project would be enjoyable and interesting. She researched and outlined the program on a VOluntary basis so it would have the least financial impact. All liability and other concerns were addressed in her outline. Ms. Wolf believed the program would have been a speedy, uncomplicated way to introduce art into Boynton Beach. She understood the board's concern with the project, as the Master Plan had not yet been defined. However, she requested clarification, as she did not understand how any of the other projects could have been undertaken without a Master Plan. B. 5 Minutes for Open Conversation Ms. Budano commented a great deal of work had been put into the Arts Commission ordinance. A process followed thereafter and the board undertook one or two projects. The board had reached the point where numerous projects had been undertaken, 6 Meeting Minutes Arts Commission Boynton Beach, Florida October 23, 2007 accompanied by a roster of responsibilities and the introduction of the dumpster program. It appeared to be an opportune time to put the projects in order, and Ms. COles-Dobay provided an outline of the Master Plan, which was generated by the projects undertaken. The board was attempting to assign funding, time commitments and responsibility for the projects. After the information had been assimilated, it would be determined how or whether the dumpster program would fit in with the board's mission. The program had become a highly-charged, emotional and confrontational issue, and it should not have been. The issue should simply have been whether or not the program would fit in. In response to Ms. Wolfs inquiry, Ms. Arflin believed all the other projects, with the exception of Avenue of the Arts, were related to development, and the board was requested to merely approve development projects. Avenue of the Arts was the board's initial effort to increase awareness of the board's existence and to educate the public about art in public places. The Heritage Celebration had already been established, and the Arts Commission was asked to participate. Ms. Richman sensed the issue had become personal, and it should not have. The board was established to serve the community, and it would be best for the Arts Commission to accomplish its goals and work together, even in the event of a disagreement. She understood a great deal of work went into the dumpster project, but whether the board agreed with the program or not, it should not have been taken as a personal affront, but rather as a difference of opinions. Ms. Brookes commented on personal attacks, which she contended had occurred in previous meetings. She believed comments relating to personal attacks should be substantiated. Ms. Moeller requested a brief explanation as to funding for the program. Chair Ready suggested several methods by which the program could be set up. These included donations of paint, paint brushes, materials, and man-hours, which would be the least expensive method. Other possibilities included having business owners donate funds to purchase the materials; and/or having business owners bear the expense to have a professional paint the dumpsters. If the program were to be approved this date, the expense to the Arts Commission would be Ms. Coles-Dobay's time. To that end, Chair Ready indicated she would assist in any way she could. She attempted to set up the program with the least financial impact. Costs associated with the program were discussed. Chair Ready advised the Facilities Division was purchasing the dumpsters, which would probably be a recurring cost, and they had funds with which to purchase up to 20 dumpsters. 7 Meeting Minutes Arts Commission Boynton Beach, Florida October 23, 2007 C. Vote Motion Ms. Wolfe moved to accept the dumpster program. The motion died for lack of a second. (Ms. Moeller left the meeting.) It was noted a quorum was still present. IV. Approval of '07/'08 Program Ms. COles-Dobay distributed a spreadsheet containing the public art projects scheduled for site plan review and/or permitting. Some of the projects required additional site plan time extensions. The active projects were highlighted and were moving forward. The Boynton Town Center included all the projects combined that were contributing to public art. The board had approved that project as well as the Offices of Bamboo Lane (the bike rack project), Mirafloor, Aspen Glen, and North General/Center of Medicine. North General would be coming back for final approval, as the water feature was no longer included in the project. Fire Station #5 would be before the board at the next meeting. The dollar figures noted on the spreadsheets were not exact as they were being fine- tuned. Some of the funds for Fire Station #5 would be added to the board's account. OPH Bank, the Dr. Mote's Wellness and Rehab Center, Victoria's Secret renovation and Kohl's Department Store were active projects and would be coming before the board for approval. Ms. Coles-Dobay reviewed future public art projects, which were new projects requiring site plan review/approval and which could be 12 to 18 months out, depending upon how fast the project moved forward. Ms. Coles-Dobay discussed projects identified after she met with Mr. Majors and Ms. Rivers with regard to Recreation and Parks projects. These were City projects slated for 2007/2008, and the board would be assisting in placing art in public places. Funding would be going into the Arts Commission budget, as the board would retain 30% of every 1%. These funds would be used for department operating costs and Ms. Cole- Dobay's salary, and would also help to fund Art in Public Places. The board had already been involved in all of the projects set forth on the Recreation and Parks spreadsheet. Ms. Coles-Dobay reviewed a list of current programs and associated costs, site plan dates and projected completion dates. The exact costs would have to be determined. 8 Meeting Minutes Arts Commission Boynton Beach, Florida October 23, 2007 Current yearly program costs were $74,435, and the budget for the acquisition of public art was $100,000. This would also require fine-tuning. With regard to the 70%-1 % projects, in the event the projects were not approved, the 70% would be maintained in a separate account for future use. Redevelopment in the City would be continuing but would peak as projects were built out, and funds would dwindle. Funds allocated for future appropriations would be used to keep the programs running and for maintenance, the core programs and any other programs (including the mural dumpster program) in the future. Advertising and promotion for the projects was discussed and difficulties had been encountered with developers. To that end, Ms. Coles-Dobay had been meeting with the developers. A typographical error was noted on the spreadsheet with regard to the Commerce Bank project. The 70% fee would result in the amount of $14,000, rather than $1,400. The spreadsheets provided an overview of the generation of funds for 2007-2008 and the projected budget year for 2007-2008 was discussed. Ms. COles-Dobay noted printing of brochures, marketing and advertising were funded out of operating expenses. Capital outlay included a Department Request of $100,000 for the acquisition of public art. The sum of $50,000 was requested for reserves for future appropriations. The balances shown were not exact, as additional funds would be coming into the account. The 30% of the 1 % retained was used to run the department and for the appropriation of public art. The board complimented Ms. Coles-Dobay for preparing and providing the spreadsheets. As the board moved forward into the year, a detailed accounting would be provided, reflecting the manner in which the monies were spent. Ms. Coles- Dobay added funds had been expended for memberships to Americans for the Arts and Florida Public Art Administrators Association. Ms. Coles-Dobay would be providing clarification as to the board's responsibility as an advisory board for the oversight of expenditures. Ms. COles-Dobay discussed costs associated with the programs. The costs for plaques for artwork already purchased and pieces on loan would be $20 or $35 per plaque, and the sum of $200 had been expended for the plaques for the existing artwork, whether on loan or purchased. Ms. Coles-Dobay would be obtaining costs relating to dusting the artwork in the lobby. If these costs were monthly, they would have to be considered in the budget. In the future, the board would be responsible for yearly costs to wax the sculptures placed on the Avenue. Ms. COles-Dobay would be meeting with someone who would provide these costs. Other maintenance costs to consider would pertain to light bulbs. 9 Meeting Minutes Arts Commission Boynton Beach, Florida October 23, 2007 Currently, the cost for insuring the artworks was $1,000 for the value of the pieces, after being appraised. Appraisal costs were $675.00. The cost for printing 5,000 brochures would be approximately $500. Three quotes would be necessary and approval would be required from the City Manager's office. Ms. Coles-Dobay had been doing all of the printing. Ms. Coles-Dobay pointed out the board would have to determine whether they approved of the programs and costs associated therewith. She pointed out the Heritage Celebration costs were not included in the $74,435 budget, and would be covered by the CRA. There were funds remaining from the yearly budget of $100,000 which had not yet been expended. Ms. Arflin expressed concern and wanted to ensure the board had already acted upon all the projects. Ms. COles-Dobay indicated her research indicated all the projects had been previously agreed to with the exception of the On Loan Artwork program. Motion Ms. Budano moved to accept the information and programs presented on the budget overview for 2007-2008. Ms. Wolf seconded the motion. Ms. Coles-Dobay pointed out any over-expenditures would require the approval of the board and City Commission. Vote The motion passed 4-1 (Ms. Arflin dissenting.) (Ms. Brookes and Ms. Moeller were not present for the vote.) Ms. Coles-Dobay would be providing clarification as to whether the board had a fiduciary responsibility to approve the entire budget. A. Avenue of the Arts 1. Select Artwork(s) and Placement 2. Call or Invite Next Year's Artists 3. Timing 4. Insurance/Liability 10 Meeting Minutes Arts Commission Boynton Beach, Florida October 23, 2007 In the past, the board had approved the allocation of $50,000 to purchase artwork from last year's Avenue of the Arts program. The board had the opportunity to purchase artwork currently on the Avenue for up to $50,000. Sculptures could cost anywhere from $3,500 to $28,000. Ms. Coles-Dobay provided costs for the following sculptures, noting the prices were negotiable: · Wave Factor, Colbert Collins, $18,000 · Chambered Nautilus, Richard Beau Lieu, $15,000 · Rings of Promise, Penny Collins, $28,000 · Luna Tuna, Richard Beau Lieu, $15,000 · Feline Foliage, Beth Ravitz, $12,000 · Eve, Claudia Jane Klein, $12,000 · Water Steel, Genevieve Steel, $5,000 · Sea Horse Fountain, Frank Varga, $20,000 · Fire & Rain, Steve DiLeonardo, $3,400 · Gyra, Tom Brewitz, $22,500 The purchases would be decided upon in the future for the Master Planning. Discussion ensued as to how and when to do the program. Ms. Coles-Dobay anticipated the program would be cyclic, ending August 31st and having the artwork installed in early September. Therefore, the process would have to be started with a call to artists or invitation to the artists. The original method used was an invitation to the artists, which the City Commission felt was appropriate. At that time, everybody brought a name of an artist to be included in the program. Both the call and invitation to artists could be accomplished. Ms. Coles-Dobay indicated the artists' agreements and contact information should be provided by May in order to coordinate structural engineers and obtain permitting. Ms. Coles-Dobay sought guidance as to the direction in which the board wished to proceed. If the board wanted to move forward with both the call to artists and invitation to artists, the month of April should be targeted to prepare the documentation needed. Board discussion ensued and some of the board members indicated their preference for larger pieces to be included in the program. Ms. Coles-Dobay noted the stipend provided was merely satisfactory, and the larger pieces would be more costly. As the program progressed, there likely would be more funds to purchase larger pieces. It was suggested insurance be provided as an incentive to attract more artists to participate in the program. The cost for insuring the artworks was approximately $1,000 per year for the value of the pieces. 11 Meeting Minutes Arts Commission Boynton Beach, Florida October 23, 2007 It was suggested that Capital Improvement Project (CIP) funds could be considered to purchase pieces that might be applicable for forthcoming park projects, such as the Boundless Park. The board agreed to the targeted dates selected by Ms. Coles-Dobay. B. Artwork Collection - City Hall 1. Sell and Replenish Artwork 2. Timing 3. Other Permanent a. Opus 14 Sea Turtle The board had not allocated funds for artwork on loan. The board did purchase some permanent artwork. While the sum of $5,000 was indicated for purchased artwork, the board did not spend the initial investment on the artwork. The funds came out of the Public Works budget. The funds were included in this year's budget in the event the board wished to purchase new artwork. Ms. COles-Dobay discussed the possible sale of the initial artwork acquired in order to purchase new artwork in order to keep the collection fresh and circulating. This could be accomplished by holding an event or an auction, and there would be costs associated therewith. The board would have to determine how and where to hold an event or auction. The dollar value realized from the initial $5,000 was $20,000. If an auction or other venue were held to sell the artwork, the proceeds would not necessarily result in a total $20,000. As the board owned the artwork in the lobby, it was suggested the board sell some of the artwork to departments within the City if there was an interest in purchasing the pieces. Ms. COles-Dobay indicated this could be accomplished, but pointed out as a result of the stringent budget cuts, City departments would likely not have the funds to purchase the artwork. Another item for the board's consideration was the purchase of artist Rick Beau Lieu's Opus 14 Sea Turtle. The asking price was $38,000, which was negotiable. The purchase would come out of the remainder of the $100,000 budgeted for the acquisition of public art. Several options were provided by Ms. Coles-Do bay with regard to funding. Suggestions for placement of the Turtle included incorporation in one of the development projects. It was agreed the Turtle should remain in the City. Ms. Coles- Dobay would negotiate a price with Mr. Beau Lieu. 12 Meeting Minutes Arts Commission Boynton Beach, Florida October 23, 2007 C. On Loan Artwork 1. Process, Placement and Location The board would approve the artwork and placement. Possible locations for the artwork would include the West Wing lobby, the Utilities building lobby, the Senior Center and Civic Center. Expenses associated with the program were minimal and included the costs for the plaques, $20, and installation costs of approximately $12 per hour. There would be no insurance premiums. Ms. Coles-Dobay had a contract drawn by Legal reflecting the artwork was on loan and the artists were responsible for any damages. Literature would be printed promoting the sale of the piece. The board would garner 10% of whatever was sold, which would go back into the program. Some of the artwork had been on loan from artist Rick Beau Lieu, and some were on display in the Civic and Senior Centers. Discussion ensued as to whether the program was important to the board, whether it corresponded with the board's mission, and the manner in which a motion should be crafted. It was noted other departments and facilities had expressed interest in participating in this program. Motion Ms. Budano moved to approve the On Loan Artwork Program and commit to refining it. Ms. Wolfe seconded the motion that passed unanimously. Discussion ensued regarding inclusion of the program in the budget, the facilities interested in participating in the program, definition of funds and expenses associated with the program. Motion Ms. Budano moved to allocate $1,500 in the 2007-2008 budget to the On Loan Artwork Program. Ms. Richman seconded the motion that passed unanimously. D. "Eternal Vision" Carolyn Sims Public Art Memorial 1. November 15, 2007 Workshop 2. Grand Opening Celebration, Saturday, January 12, 2008 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. 13 Meeting Minutes Arts Commission Boynton Beach, Florida October 23, 2007 Two workshops were scheduled for the "Eternal Vision" (Carolyn Sims Public Art Memorial Project) and estimated costs associated with the project were set forth on the spreadsheets. A documentary was being filmed by Ralph Papa. A grand opening celebration was scheduled for January 12, 2008, the costs of which would be covered by Recreation and Parks. E. Heritage Celebration/Highwaymen Program 1. Program Overview 2. Costs 3. Volunteer Participation Ms. Coles-Dobay discussed the schedule pertaining to the program as noted on the spreadsheet. Bob Beatty, author of The Highwaymen books, would speak at the Library on February 13, 2008 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The program would educate children and teens on how to improve their lives and would also provide direction for those interested in becoming public artists. It was suggested consideration be given to printing a commemorative poster. Ms. Coles-Dobay pointed out this year's budget for the Heritage Celebration would not provide for this. Funding options were suggested including in-kind donations for printing and at-risk consignment in order to offset printing costs. Ms. COles-Dobay would check with the Heritage Celebration committee regarding the posters. V. Development and CIP Programs This item was discussed earlier. VI. (AIPP) Art in Public Places Master Plan A. Discussion of Public Art B. AIPP Process Outline C. Future Projects Review The board agreed to address this item at the November meeting under Unfinished Business, and for this item to serve as the main focus of the meeting. VII. Unfinished Business None. 14 Meeting Minutes Arts Commission Boynton Beach, Florida October 23, 2007 VIII. New Business None. IX. Adjournment Motion Mr. Arflin moved to adjourn. Ms. Richman seconded the motion that passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 9:20 p.m. ~~ VI-- Stephanie D. Kahn Recording Secretary 103007 110707 15
