-Discussion on Percent for Public Art Proposal <br /> Mr. Gilman stated AAC has not discussed this matter and the Commissioners <br /> gave him a brief history of this proposal. They explained that many cities <br /> have a "Percentage for Public Art Program" where 1/2°/a of the construction <br /> budget of a public building is set aside for the purchase of art for the new <br /> facility. Commissioner Piulle said there are currently 34 pieces of public art in <br /> Redwood City which have been purchased and catalogued. She said funds <br /> were allocated for art for the new Library and the new Police Facility, but no <br /> funds were allocated for art for the new Red Morton Center. The percent for <br /> public art proposal has been presented twice to the City Council and rejected. <br /> She felt that if the Cultural Commission and the AAC could approach the <br /> matter jointly, it might gain more support. Mr. Gilman explained that AAC <br /> needs to discuss this matter further and noted that many projects that the <br /> AAC reviews have financial concerns and if additional financial <br /> requirements are made on a builder, they may not proceed with the project. <br /> M/S Piulle/Filippi: To have a sub-committee draft guidelines for the Percent <br /> for Public Art program to send to the Architectural Advisory <br /> Committee to review and then recommend to the City Council. <br /> Motion passed. <br /> Commissioner Ball and Saye will be on the sub-committee. <br /> ITEM 4-KCSM PRESENTATION <br /> This matter will be deferred to a later meeting. <br /> ITEM 5 - RED MORTON CENTER ART WORK <br /> Supervisor Hannon reported that Nelda's Ceramics located on Middlefield <br /> Road in Redwood City has been identified to do the ceramic tiles for the Red <br /> Morton Center. The Park and Recreation Commission will have a booth at <br /> the Climate Best Fest and at the Department's Halloween event to sell the <br /> handprint tiles. The completed tiles will be installed around the door frame <br /> of the child care area in the new facility. <br /> Commissioner Piulle mentioned the Commission's FY 95-96 budget request <br /> for funds to purchase art work for the new facility was rejected. <br /> ITEM 6-CONCERT PROGRAM EVALUATION <br /> Supervisor Hannon explained that a press release announcing the entire 1995 <br /> concert series and individual press releases announcing each concert were <br /> sent out during the summer. Additionally, over 600 flyers were sent out to <br /> participants in the Hoover Summer School program to advertise the <br /> program. She noted that attendance was best with the concerts held at <br />
