(3R96:42) Andy lorgensen presented the staff report. Ms. Michelotti asked several questions: what was the Planning Commission recommendation; was there discussion of a committee vs. a commission; clarification of the initial fund transfer and annual contribution of $50,000; how much money has the City donated for public an in the past five years. Mr. :rorgensen indicated the Planning Commission was in favor of the ordinance, the only concern was the addition of another layer of government approvals that could slow a project. That was addressed in the final ordinance and the process should not slow a pwject. There was no discussion regarding a committee vs. a commission. The annual contribution of $50,000 is an estimate which depends upon the kinds of projects set forth in the proposed annual public an plan. It could be less in a fight year, but in any event would always go through the regular budget process for approval. He indicated the City has not acquired any public an through public funds. There has been approximately $16,000 a year in staff time and materials in support of the work of the Public Art Committee.
