Updates to the City’s Municipal Code to provide for a “percent for art” and better <br />clarify the public art process and responsibilities <br />A public art plan to guide the expansion of the public art program throughout the <br />city <br />A percent for the art program would complement the Another H.A.P.P.Y. fund to allow <br />funds to be utilized for installation and maintenance. One of the largest challenges to <br />using the Another H.A.P.P.Y. fund has been identifying funding sources for installation <br />and the long-term maintenance of new art pieces. <br />Should the City Council direct staff to move forward with developing a program, staff will <br />work closely with the Civic Arts Commission to develop details of the program, with <br />strategic input from the City Council on questions such as: <br />Does the community want to see more permanent public art in Pleasanton? <br />Is the community asking for more art education, programming, or events around <br />public art? <br />Should the program have other focus areas? <br />STRATEGIC PLAN/POLICY ALIGNMENT <br />The ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan includes Goal C: Investing in Our Environment – <br />Strategy 7 to continue to invest in parks, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and <br />public art to improve traffic safety, promote climate resilience, and increase access to <br />cultural and recreational opportunities. <br />Prepared and Submitted by: Approved by: <br />Heidi Murphy <br />Director of Library and <br />Recreation <br />Gerry Beaudin <br />City Manager <br />Attachment: <br />1.
