" , In response to Commissioner Hovingh, Mr. McLaughlin stated that signed and numbered prints can be considered public art. Appropriate use and placement would be of concern. Regarding the 2 % appropriations from Capital Improvement Projects, projects such as senior care centers, sports parks, or City-owned housing developments would be responsible for the 2 % appropriation. Funds for street paving and improvement would not be subject to the appropriation. In response to Commissioner Barker, Mr. McLaughlin stated there was such strong opposition to developer funding, this option was voted down by Committee. Commissioner Wright clarified with Mr. McLaughlin that the Committee's selection of public art would be presented to the City Council before being finalized. Mr. McLaughlin noted that there would be ample opportunity for the public to voice their opinions on the Committee's selections of public art. Mr. Swift advised that the proposed Public Art ordinance will be on a future agenda for the Commission's review. Commissioner Barker commented that new development could mitigate its impact with the gift of public art instead of appropriating 2 % of the CIP budget. Mr. McLaughlin advised that could be encouraged, but the Committee needs to have some form of a predictable, consistent funding source. Commissioner McGuirk inquired about the make-up of the Committee. He feels there should be a spectrum of different backgrounds comprising the Committee. Mr. McLaughlin gave an overview of the varying backgrounds of the committee members. The scope of the Committee may be broadened by including drama. Commissioner Wright feels the funding sources are correct and does not want to add another fee to developers. 4.
