Public art projects covered by this policy for which public money is utilized may be located on either public or private property. For a public art project to be located on private property, the owner must grant the city an easement for access, with a grant of all ancillary rights that the city deems necessary in order to implement the public art project according to this policy. Identification of a piece of property as a public art site shall not relieve the property owner from complying with all applicable city laws and regulations. SITE SELECTION The process used to select public art sites is dependent upon the type of project being executed. Site selection should be a community planning process which provides ample and appropriate opportunities for public input into site identification. The Civic Cultural Commission will maintain a prioritized list of projects and sites and will recommend those projects for implementation as funding allows. As much as possible, these projects should correspond with new construction or renovation projects planned in the city for that year. Civic Cultural Commission representatives should be invited to attend architectural review meetings for large scale development to advocate for public art as part of new development or redevelopment. Community group or neighborhood association may propose a public art project for a site and apply for city funds to implement their projects.
