7.D. - Page 11 <br /> Sec. 45.040 Art in Public Places Fund, In General. <br /> A. Source of Funds. The Art in Public Places Fund established in Section 2.38 of <br /> this Code shall be credited annually with such funds as determined by the City Council <br /> and with all funds received by the City for art in public places, whether contributed, <br /> earned, secured through grants, or otherwise obtained. Any funds deposited in the Art in <br /> Public Places Fund shall be clearly described as those funds specifically for deposit into <br /> the Art in Public Places Fund and shall not include those funds which are earmarked for <br /> purposes other than Art in Public Places. Similarly, no calculation of a percentage of the <br /> Capital Outlay Fund shall consider any funds earmarked for another purpose when <br /> calculating such percentage. <br /> B. Use of Funds. Funds in the Art in Public Places Fund may be appropriated in <br /> the annual budget to obtain and install art in public places, to maintain and refurbish art <br /> in public places, to obtain professional consultants or City employees to assist the City <br /> and the Civic Cultural Commission in selecting artists and art in public places, to preserve <br /> meritorious works of art in public places and art on private property in public view, and to <br /> defray such other capital expenses which are, or may become, an integral part of <br /> providing for and/or maintaining art in public places. <br /> Sec. 45.050 Approval Process for Art Funded by the Art in Public Places <br /> Fund. <br /> Recognizing that professional expertise is desirable in artistic matters, such as the <br /> selection of artists for a project, the selection of particular works of art, and the approval <br /> of designs and plans for works of art, the City Council declares that: <br /> A. With respect to art funded by the Art in Public Places Fund, initial decisions on <br /> artistic matters will, as a matter of course, be made by City staff, and the Civic Cultural <br /> Commission. The City Council will refer questions, suggestions, requests, complaints, <br /> and similar items pertaining to the art in public places program to appropriate City staff <br /> and/or the Civic Cultural Commission for their review and response. <br /> B. The Civic Cultural Commission shall review any proposed art work to be funded <br /> by the Art in Public Places Fund. Such review will include any sketches, designs, <br /> photographs, precise plans, art examples, and similar items. Following its review of any <br /> proposed art, the Civic Cultural Commission shall submit a written recommendation to <br /> the City Council regarding whether such art should be acquired and/or installed. The Civic <br /> Cultural Commission shall also review and make recommendations concerning other <br /> legitimate expenditures from the Art in Public Places Fund. <br /> C. After receiving the recommendation of the Civic Cultural Commission, the City <br /> Council shall approve or disapprove the acquisition and/or installation of any proposed <br /> art. The City Council shall also approve or disapprove other legitimate expenditures from <br /> the Art in Public Places Fund. If City Council approves an installation, it shall determine <br /> the duration of such installation, provided however, that the City Council may delegate <br /> the right to extend the duration of any installation to the City Manager (or designee). The <br /> previous sentence notwithstanding, no permanent installation of art in public places shall <br /> Page 5 of 14 <br /> ATTY/ORD.429/ADDING ARTICLE 12 TO CHAPTER 9 OF THE REDWOOD CITY MUNICIPAL CODE ENTITLED"PUBLIC ART FOR <br /> PRIVATE DEVELOPMENTS" <br /> REV:06-07-16 JS <br />
