D Page 4 of 19 Why Conduct a Self-Evaluation? This Assessment of Public Art in Delray Beach was initiated by a dedicated group of Delray Beach citizens who volunteer their time , talent and service as members of the City’s Pu blic Art Advisory Board (PAAB). Th is Board was established in 2007 to advise and make recommendations to City Commissioners regarding Public Art policy, funding, selection, construction and placement. Aware that the field of Public Art is continually advancing, and as part of their on-going e ffort to update their knowledge regarding Public Art best practices and successful Public Art installations, PAAB members posed the strategi c question, “What is the state of Public Art in cities across the nation with similar goals to Delray Beach?” Since the City of Delray Beach does not have a Public Art Program Manager, PAAB approached Palm Beach County’s Art in Public Places Administrator, Elayna Toby Singer, and asked her to provide a presentation on the “state of Public Art today”. Ms. Singer’s presentation to Delray’s Public Art Board included a virtual tour of Public Art installations around the Country with comparable scale, feel and function to the types of projects that would positively influence community engagement, economic development and cultural tourism in Delray. She also presented information about current Public Art best practices, the typical steps of a Public Art project, and the roles and responsibilities of a Public Art coordinator. As a result of Ms. Singer’s presentation and PAAB member experience s working on Delray’s Public Art projects, PAAB members recognized that the City’s process for Public Art, and their role in it , was “broken .” The Public Art Advisory Board received Mayoral and City Commission approval to pursue this assessment; demonstrating that City leadership understands the need for Public Art strategic planning and coordination in Delray Beach. Through an inter-local agreement between the City of Delray Beach (City) and Palm Beach County, in September 2011 the County’s Public Art Administrator, Elayna Toby Singer, was engaged to facilitate the City of Delray Beach in a Public Art Program Assessment. Page 5 of 19 For sixth months, from October 2011 to March 2012, Ms. Singer facilitated strategic discussions with stakeholder groups including: - Mayor and City Commissioners - City & CRA leadership staff - Delray Non- and For- Profit Cultural Arts leaders - Current & Past Public Art Board members - Public Artists commissioned by both City & CRA T he purpose of stakeholder meetings was twofold: 1) To address Public Art priorities outlined in the City and CRA’s master, strategic and cultural plans as well as in the City’s P ublic Art Ordinance, and 2) To broaden stakeholder understanding and awareness about Public Art In each meeting Ms. Singer presented images and information from dozens of Public Art installations. She also provided an overview of Public Art best practices related to Public Art planning and implementation; from budget allocation and scope development to ribbon cutting and long-term maintenance. B efore the City invested in this Public Art assessment, the majority of stakeholders and decision-makers who participated in the process perceived Public Art as a stand-alone s culpture, monument or mural, and had limited familiarity with the typical process and specific steps cities need to involve artists in CIPs and other strategic initiatives . Through this assessment, stakeholders and decision-makers h ave a better understanding of what Public Art involves including how functional Public Art, (e.g., seating, lighting, gazebos, sidewalks, windows, floors, etc.) can be integrated in Capital Improvement Projects to fulfill architectural and zon ing requirements. In addition participants now have a broader view of the potential for Public Art to positive ly engage Delray’s diverse communities. Minutes from stakeholder conversations significantly informed the findings outlined in this report. S ee Appendix A for a complete list of invited stakeholders. See Appendix B for stakeholder meetings minutes. See Appendix C for PowerPoint slides Ms. Singer presented at Public Art Advisory Board, Commissioner Workshop and stakeholder meetings. Page 6 of 19 What is the State of Public Art in Cities across the Nation with Similar Goals to Delray Beach? Unlike in the past, today it’s too simplistic to define Public Art only as an artwork permanently or temporarily placed indoors or outside. Today Public Art is also integrated with architecture, landscape and infrastructure. It can be functional, commemorative, decorative, social and/or interactive. By employing technology, text, or sound it can uniquely showcase cutting edge digital and energy innovations. B oth the form and role of Public Art varies from project to project and community to community. Public Art contributes to the visual and textural character of a community. Projects create a sense of place and foster community unity; often by celebrating the history of a place and its cultural heritage. Public Art seeks to inspire relationships and communication and has the power to energize our public spaces, arouse our thinking, and transform the places where we live, work, and play into more welcoming and beautiful environments that invite interaction. Memorable Public Art experiences stimulate repeat visits by locals and tourists. In the past ten years there’s been a trend away from artwork placed as “plop art” in a public space to an approach that is more site-determined, collabo rative, integrated and community driven. And increasingly, temporary Public Art installations and interactive happenings are used by cities to generate excitement, stimulate the local economy , advance neighborhood “green” initiatives and draw visitors. In Florida cities similar to Delray Beach, and in others across the nation, public artist involvement in permanent and temporary strategic place-making efforts have attr acted businesses, residents and tourists, resulting in higher tax receipts and increased job opportunities. Page 7 of 19 For example, the temporary event-oriented “Light s On Tampa ”, a biennial program of the City of Tampa Public Art Program, drew approximately a million people to six artist installations over a three week period in 2006 , the spectacle’s first year with a $1 million budget. In 20 11 , with a $200K budget, the one night event drew approximately 20,000 people to three art installations. “Lights On Tampa ” is 25% City and 75% privately funded. With over 40 “P ercent for Public Art ” ordinances in cities and counties throughout Florida, and over 400 Public Art programs across the United States, cities similar to Delray Beach are reaping significant economic benefits from investing in Public Art. According to the Florida Tax Watch Tourism Research Report, 74.9% of visitors to Florida participate in cultural art activities. Page 8 of 19 In 2008 Florida had 58-million attendees at arts and culture events of which 84% were residents and 16% were visitors. It’s also interesting to note that non -local attendees spent 137% more per person ($57.49 vs. $24.25). I n the Partners for Livable Communities’ publication “How to Incorporate Arts & Culture into Neighborhood Business Districts” it’s noted that Public Art contributes to the mix that is a magnet for people, businesses & tourism and that the public image conveyed by a City can be a critical part of spurring local economic development. Furthermore, enhancing a city’s identity through the arts makes the city come alive for investors and visitors. Similarly the University of Westminster study entitled “For Art’s Sake, Public Art, Planning Policies & their Benefits for Commercial Property,” investors, developers and occupants of commercial property conveyed that image or attractiveness of a development was a significant factor for them in selecting a building. Sixty-two percent of occupants believe that the contribution of Public Art to their building was considerable and provided a commercial advantage. Another way Public Art projects help support local businesses is through procurement of local goods and services. Similar to other capital and community projects, Public Artists who lead such projects often hire a diverse group of subcontractors such a s engineers, suppliers, fabricators, accountants, electricians, computer techs, and others to design, fabricate and implement the ir projects. Page 9 of 19 How Does Public Art Fit into Delray’s Plans? In 2004, when City of Delray Beach Commissioners first approved a Public Art ordinance to create the City’s Public Art Program they, along with City Staff and citizens of Delray Beach, recognized that:  Public Art is consistent with and furthers the goals, objectives and policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan.  Publ ic A rt contributes to the aesthetic enhancement of Delray’s diverse communities.  The City’s built environment is vital to the quality of the life of its citizens, the economic success of its businesses, is an attraction for visitors, and a benefit to tourism.  Public Art can reflect and enhance the City's diversity, character and heritage by integrating artworks and designs by artists into Delray’s architecture, streets and landscapes. And, as outlined in Delray’s 2004 Public Art Ordinance , 2002 Downtown Master Plan , 2006 Cultural Plan and 2010 City Strategic Plan, a rt s and culture have been integral to Delray Beach ’s vision, with an emphasis on the following priorities:  Neighborhood and Facility Beautification  Arts and Cultural Vibrancy  Economic Grow th  Community Unity Page 10 of 19 Wha t ’s the Status of Delray’s Public Art Program Today? Priorities and goals outlined in the City’s S trategic, Master and Cultural Plans are ripe for art ist and public art integration. Ironically, to date, neither artists, nor th e public have been engaged to full benefit. Despite the City of Delray ’s deliberate capital planning and the existence of a Public A rt ordinance which specifies using 1.5 % of Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs ) for art/design integration, Delray Beach has barely involved artists in the design and development of CIP s or other strategic initiatives aimed at shaping Delray’s physical character and economic development. Since the creation of its Public Art Ordinance in 2004, the City of Delray Beach has implemented a handful of Public Art projects to a generally positive public response. A nd yet, lacking the necessary resources and infrastructure, the Public Art ordinance has not resulted in a Public Art program. Since 2004 Delray has been implementing its Public Art projects without a Public Art Program Manager , without a Public Art Master Plan , without policies and procedures and without adherence to nationally accepted Public Art Best Practices . A s successful as P ublic Art projects appear, it became evident through stakeholder discussions that Public Art projects initiated by the City, CRA and Delray nonprofit organizations have been carried out on an ad-hoc, instead of strategic , basi s . The City of Delray Beach has treated Public Art an extra, a mere add -on, instead of the strategic “game -changer” it can be if included in the steps Delray takes to attain its strategic goals. “Untitled” by artist Michiko Kurisu at Veterans Park under Atlantic Ave Bridge Page 11 of 19 Oper ating Without a Public Art Program Manager The City’s need for Public Arts expertise and leadership at the staff level to ramp up, develop and sustain the City’s Public Art Program is a lynch pin issue at the heart of many of the challenges outlined in this report. Without a Public Art Program Manager responsible for working with City management, the Public Art Advisory Boa rd and strategic partners such as Delray’s CRA, non-profit cultu ral arts organizations, businesses and community members, Delray Beach has not yet put in place the foundations upon which a successful Public Art programs can be established and flourish. As stakeholder meetings minutes clearly reflect (Appendix B), without a P ublic Art Program Manager the City lacks coordination among the City departments involved in the various stages of a Public Art project. In the absence of a Public Art Program Manage r City staff assigned to deal with individual project segments do so without being given th e necessary tools to do so. Without a Project Manager to coordinat e the artist’s work with the project’s other design professionals, economies of early integration and other synergist ic opportunities, e.g., budget and design, are missed. Artists commissioned by the City and CRA all remarked that a project coordinator or point person was either non -existent or ineffective ; making it very difficult for artists to navi gate through City departments and the City’s construction process. City and CRA staff assigned to projects often lack Public Art expertise and therefore are unable to an swer artist ’s questions , resulting in artists being bounced around among staff when issues arise. In addition minimal staff oversight and limited review of design, fabrication, install ation and maintenance issues were provided. As stakeholder meetings minutes reflect (Appendix B), City staff assigned as liaison to the Public Art Advisory Board (PAAB) are also not given necessary resources to effectively direct and facilitate the Board in its duties. There also appears to be a lack of coordination between PAAB’s staff liaison and other City staff . In an effort to support staff and public ar tists commissioned by the City , volunteer PAAB members have stepped up to the plate to assist in project management, permitting, engineering and other project aspects. PAAB member’s diverse expertise and desire to help the City means they pitch where they can to assist City staff . Similarly, in an effort to help, PAAB members have voluntarily offered professional services , free of charge, to artists. Unintentionally, this brings up conflict of interest issues for the City and Board members. Page 12 of 19 Lack of arts coordination and lack of a designated person to “lead the charge” for Public Art and other cultural endeavors the City financially supports, was a repeated theme among stakeholders. Discussions reveal that despite recommendations to improve City-wide arts coordination, accountability and s tewardship of the City’s cultural arts vision, only nominal changes have occurred since the publication of the 2006 Delray Beach Cultural Plan. Delray n on profit leaders who participated in this assessment acknowledged that their projects would benefit from having an arts professional to facilitate coordination and communication among Delray’s various cultural arts groups. Frustration and lack of faith in the City’s past ability to facilitate collaboration was palpable in several stakeholder discussions. Operating Without a Road Map Although for years the City of Delray Beach has partnered with the CRA, Delray’s n onprofits, residents and local businesses to build Delray as an artsy cultural destination, stakeholders who participated in this assessment are in consensus that their efforts, and the resources allocated to arts and culture, would benefit significantly from a more strategic and coordinated approach. Without a Public Art Master Plan, Public Art has not been operat ionally integrated into Delray’s annual strategic planning and budgeting, priority setting and implementation. Without a Plan the following Pu blic Art infrastructure and capacity does not yet exist for Public Art in Delray Beach: – Program Vision and Mission – Policies & Procedures – Project Types & Locations – Operational Integration: City/CRA Staff, Public Art Board, Artists – Staffing / Program Management Strategy – Funding Strategy – Artist / Art selection process – Collaboration / Strategic Partnerships – Community Outreach and Education – Agreements: Artist Commissions, Loans, Donations – Documentation of Public Art – Maintenance of Public Art Page 13 of 19 Oper ating Without Nationally Accepted Public Art Best Practices Without basic yet essential policies and procedures, the City’s P ublic Art program is like a boat without a rudder. Typically, standard operating procedures and policies are developed soon after a City establishes its Public Art ordinance. In t he past eight years the City of Delray Beach has not developed the standard guidelines, processes and documentation necessary to successfully integrate artists and Public A rt into the City’s CIP development process. Without Public Art Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), City and CRA staff and the Pu blic Art Advisory Board have not been given the tools they need to successfully develop and implement projects to advance City/CRA goals and to protect City interests. Without SOPs Public Art projects have not been implemented in accordance with nationally recognized best practices ; from scope development, artist selection and contracts to design development, construction, and maintenance. There is consensus among City and CRA staff, PAAB members and Delray’s Non profit Cultural Arts professionals that the lack of structure, process and coordination greatly hinders managing Public Art projects effectively. As of yet City staff and the Public Art Advisory Board have no t e stablished a n operational blue print for PAAB. Unlike other advisory boards to the City Commission (e.g.: Planning and Zoning, S.P.R.A.B., Finance) which are generally advising/voting only boards, PAAB’s role is to be involved in the planning and selection of projects in addition to recommending how Public Art funds are spent. Without defined processes an d procedures to support its unique role as a City advisory Board, volunteer expertise and time ha ve not been harnessed to the City’s advantage. The City, in creative partnership with PAAB, has great potential for developing projects that support the City’s strategic goa ls. In addition, artist Short List and Finalist selections have not been conducted per national standards. For example, each CIP’s architect and/or landscape architect, City staff (and CRA staff if CRA funded) users and other project stakeholders have not been included on selection panels as voting members, in addition to Public Art Board members. Page 14 of 19 T o date public artists, as uniquely skilled design professionals, have had minimal to no involvement in the design phase of Capital Improvement Project s. Instead of working early on with the project’s architect, landscape architect, City staff and project end -users , public artists have more typically been involved towards the end of a project resulting in a “Public Art goes her e” approach rather than integrating it effectively within the project. This approach limits the inclusion of art to one specific location, often in the form of a sculpture or mural and short circuits the potential for broader reaching aesthetic and community benefits. Today it’s widely accepted that Public Art elements added into capital projects as an afterthought, instead of as part of project design and development, do not deliver the same bang for the buck. Operating Without Well Defined Public Art Project Scopes and Budgets In accord ance with the City’s Public Art Ordinance, 1.5% of the total eligible construction costs are to be appropriated by the City to a “Public Art Fund” to pay for artist design services and for the selection, acquisition and display of artworks and for the administration of the Public Art program or as otherwise appropriated in the City budget . For C apital Improvement Projects (CIPs) less than $20 0,000, 1.5% of the cost of the projects can be pooled for other art projects. Initiated by City management, in March 2012 changes to the Public Art ordinance, as noted above in itali cs, were approved by City Commissioners. Due to the lack of Public Art Program infrastructure to provide project specific budgeting and tracking, discerning how much the City of Delray Beach spends annually on Public Art, or on specific Public Art projects is difficult, at best. That said, based on information provided by and discussions with City staff, it appears that Public Art projects in Delray Beach are funded in several ways. “Fountain” by artist Carlos Alves at Veterans Park Atlantic Ave nue at the Intracoastal Waterway Page 15 of 19 Pu blic Art projects that have been integrated into City and/or CRA Capital Improvement Projects are funded by the CIP project into which the Public Art is integrated. However, it is unclear if the monies spent on these particular Public Art projects equal the 1.5% of the CIP’s total eligible construction costs, per the Public Art Ordinance ’s goal . Also, some of these CIP Public Art integrated projects did not include an open RFQ-type competition and the Pu blic Art Advisory Board (PAAB) was not involved in artist or artwork selection. Instead, artists were selected by City and/or CRA staff and/or a small group of stakeholders. In projects where CRA funded CIPs are transferred to the City at completion of construction, the process has not been under the aegis of the Ordinance at all. Although the CRA does not have a “percent for art” requirement, they understand that artists and art are strategic tools to fulfilling their mission to transform “blight to beauty.” In these instances, CRA staff determines the art budget as part of the project whole. Public Art projects have also been funded with pooled monies from the Public Art Fund, per the Public Art Ordinance. Absent a coordinated strategy between City staff and the Public Art Advisory Board, the Board initiated the use of pooled Public Art funds to projects they envisioned would benefit the City and the community. As successful as these projects are, they also suffer from issues outlined in this report. “Cultural Loop Streetscape” by artist Gary Mo ore NW 5th Avenue between SW 1st Street and Martin Luther King Blvd “Ida’s Cool Spot” by artist Lois Brezinski NE 6th Street / NE 2nd Avenue Page 16 of 19 T here are also nonprofit organizations such a s Pineapple Grove Main Street Inc that procure Public Art. Similarly to City and CRA sponsored Public Art endeavors, these projects are often handled without following nationally recognized Public Art best practices and are not part of a City-wide coordinated plan. A s stakeholder meetings minutes clearly reflect (Appendix B), artists commissioned for City and CRA Public Art projects report that the projects they were selected for were often under-budgeted, or the scope was inadequately articulated by the City and CRA from the project’s onset. Artists interviewed for this report explained that expenses, typically unforeseen for the City and CRA, arose late in projects when there are few options and project budgets are already fully committed. Often artists were inappropriately asked to shoulder these shortfalls, causing a financial hardship for the artist. In general, under-budgeted projects potentially reduce the pool of applicants because e stablished artists may not apply as they know the project visio n can’t be realized for the specified budget. Emerging artists may be more willing to take inappropriate compensation in exchange for an opportunity to be commissioned, but they also may be ill equipped to recognize the inherent financial risk they’re shou ldering. Taking a more strategic approach to the use of available Public Art funds and properly matching those funds with realistically scoped projects will result in better outcomes for the City and for the artists. “Untitled” by Tim Curtis Pineapple Grove Page 17 of 19 Recomm ended Next Steps to Energize & Strengthen Delray Beach’s Public Art Program Clearly, Delray Beach has had a longstanding commitment to Public Art, but it has not as yet transformed the intent of the Public Art Ordinance into a full-fledged and strategic Pu blic Art Program. In the years since Delray Beach adopted its Public Art Ordinance, many cities have proven how Public Art Programs can economically benefit cities and Delray Beach is ideally situated to knock this type of program out of the park going forward. Dedicated volunteers and City staff have done their best, with few resources, to implement projects in the past and the question now is “How do we go forward from here?” Step 1: Reorient and Expand the Vision By reorienting our thinking about what Public Art is and how it integrates with capital and infrastructure projects, we begin to move from a Public Art Ordinance to a Public Art Program, which will better leverage the City’s investment. And, by building a Public Art Program that includes artists in capital and community development projects, Delray’s streetscapes, public plazas, amenities and temporary blockbuster Public Art installations can become the economic drivers they’ve proven to be across the nation . The result… Delray Beach residents, businesses, visitors and City coffers will benefit. Step 2 : Public Art Master Planning The key to transforming the City’s Public Art investment, both of time and financial resources, is the development of a Public Art Master Plan. As a result of the tactical work involved in creating a Public Art Master Plan, Delray Beach will have the necessary strategic road map it needs to further advance the goals and objectives of City and CRA annual Strategic and Capital Plans, as well as the Downtown Master Plan and Cultural Plan. To garner the greatest benefits, it is recommended that the Public Art Master Planning process build on the strategic work that was accomplished over the past six months through the Public Art Assessment process and the stakeholder engagement it generated. The continued involvement of the stakeholders who participated in the Assessment, along with others who represent strategic alliances, is key to the success of this planning process. Based on where Delray is in its Public Art evolution, a Public Art Master Plan, and the process it entails, will lay the foundation for Delray to quickly ramp up new projects as the economy improves and new City & CRA CIP projects come on line. Page 18 of 19 T he following essential components are recommended for inclusion in Delray‘s Public Art Master Planning process. Descriptions provided for each component only minimally represent the full list of issues that should be addressed in the planning process. – Program Vision and Mission Define strategic purpose – Policies & Procedures Acquisition of Public A rt : Commissions, Outright Purchase, Donations, Loans Removal of Public Art Support of local artists – Project Types & Locations Identify permanent/temporary Public Art opportunities (environmental, built, cultural) Develop criteria to identify appropriate areas for Public Art Extend Public Art benefits beyond the downtown area – Operational Integration: City/CRA Staff, Public Art Board, Artists Public Art project budgeting, scope development Public Art Board roles and responsibilities, seat requirements, term limits – Staffing / Program Management Strategy Assignment of professional staff to manage the program – Funding Strategy Public Art Ordinance (City/CRA implications) Leverag e public with private money (developers, corporate, donations, gr ants, etc.) – Artist / Art selection process Selection Methodology, RFP/RFQ/Invitational, Selection Panel requirements – Collaboration / Strategic Partnerships Integration of Public Art planning into other community planning efforts Expand partnerships with local organizations, public agencies and businesses – Community Outreach and Education Dialogue with citizens, Strategies to increase involvement and accessibility to Public Art – Agreements: Artist Commissions, Loans, Donations Per Public Art national standards – Documentation of Public Art Curatorial, inventory, appraisal o f Public Art – Maintenance of Public Art Dedication of resources to ongoing maintenance Page 19 of 19 Step 3 : Create a Temporary Public Art Program & Funding Plan for Tennis Center Expanding the vision and funding of Public Art to include temporary Public Art installations and interactive community Public Art happenings is a perfect fit for Delray Beach. And, while there are many opportunities within the City to create such installations, one clear example is the Tennis Center on West Atlantic Avenue. This is the City’s hidden Public Art jewel. Its architecture and multiple “rooms” are brimming with fabulous opportunities for temporary Public Art installations. “Public Artful” activation of the Tenn is Center is sure to improve the City’s return on its Tennis Center investment . Temporary Public Art at the Tennis Center will also leverage this existing City resource to support the City/CRA West Atlantic expansion goals outlined in the Downtown Master Plan. In addition, temporary Public Art installations, and the audiences they draw, can stimulate economic development West of Swinton Avenue and build significant shoulder season economic activity.

Ms. Singer pointed out that the commissioning agency owns the art work, but the artist owns the copyright to the design. There are legal implications if the art is altered in any way. Ms. Singer continued her presentation with a description of The City of Delray Beach Public Art Ordinance. The OrdinanceAwasAestablishedAinA2004AinArecognitionAofAitsAvalueAinAfurtheringAtheAcity’sAComprehensiveAPlanAandA to ensure the aesthetics of the City. It stipulates that 1.5% of eligible projects is to cover the expenses for design, selection and acquisition, installation, maintenance and administration. If a Capital Improvement Project is less than $200,000, that money is to be pooled for other projects. Appropriations for Capital Improvement Projects can come from bonds, grants or other sources. Ms. Singer reviewed the various types of capital projects that are and are not eligible for public art according to the Ordinance. The Ordinance also mandated the creation of the Delray Beach Public Art Advisory Board and its responsibilities. Ms. Singer also provided an overview of several other city plans and demonstrated how public art relates to realizing the goals outlined in these plans. She highlighted on the Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan (2002), Delray Beach Public Art Needs Assessment (2003), Delray Beach Public Art Master Plan (2004), the Delray Beach Cultural Plan and Creative City Collaborative of 2006, and the City of Delray Beach Strategic Plan and National Citizen Survey of 2010. Public art ties into these with physical improvements, beautification, park features, designs, and cultural tourism. A CONVERSATION WITH City of Delray Beach CRA Staff RE: CITY OF DELRAY BEACH PUBLIC ART PROEJCTS APPENDIX B Page 2 of 32 The public art process is similar to the processes of capital construction projects, i.e., RFQ, shortlist selection, finalist selection, contract negotiation, design development, fabrication, installation, ribbon cutting, and long term maintenance. Similar to other design professionals (e.g., architects, landscape architects, and engineers) public artists play a key and unique role in interdisciplinary projects teams. Typical questions asked and answered when developing a public art project scope are: What are the budgetary and schedule parameters? What type of activities do you foresee happening there? How do you wantAtoAfeelAwhenAyouAapproachAtheAspace?AIsAtheAlocationAaA‘verb’- a kinetic interactive space- orAaA‘noun’- staticAandAdiscrete?AWhatAisAtheAarea’sAhistory?A reAthereAfutureAdevelopmentAplans?AWhatAisAtheAseasonalA effect? What are the day and nighttime site conditions? Is there pedestrian or vehicular access? Ms. Singer further explained that representatives from the following are typically involved in the creation of a project’sAscope;AuserAgroupsA(commissioningAagencyArepresentative.AstaffAwhoAknow/useAtheA“facility”).AaA Public Art Coordinator (project manager), a public art advisory board (volunteers), and community stakeholders (neighborhood groups, local business owners). The selection panel members change per project. Ms. Singer said that artist selections are typically qualifications based and that for shortlist selection artists are selected based on a letter of intent, resume, and images of past work. In finalist selection artists prepare proposals or are interviewed. Information about the project is contained in the RFQ (design team, who is involved, broad or specific goals, location, budget, what happens at site, history, and relevance). Artist selections can be local, statewide, or national. Ms,ASinger’sApresentationAthenAgaveAanAovervi ew of public art nationwide. Nationally, the majority of public art is funded by percent for art programs. There are over 40 programs in the State of Florida. National and international studies demonstrate that developers, investors, and occupiers of commercial property value public art and understand that public art improves their property and is a critical part of economic development and. Sometimes it is valuable to include the neighborhood in revitalization projects. tAtheAendAofAMs,ASinger’sApresenta tion she stated that despite the existence of the public art ordinance, public art had not been integrated into City and CRA funded capital projects. She then opened discussion the discussion on how could things be improved. Ms. Diane Colonna said there is a lack of a clear process as to how public art projects are handled in the City. It isn ’tAclearAwhichAprojectsAareArequiredAtoAbeAapprovedAbyAtheAPublicA rtABoard --some projects seem to have to goAtoAthatAboardAasAwellAasASPR B.AandAothersAdon’tAseemAtoA go through any process. She said she felt there was a real hunger for arts and culture in this town. There are a lot of great ideas and good intentions, but then some aspect of the implementation does not happen, such as administration, maintenance or not being funded or developed properly. She said the Public Art Advisory Board needed to prove itself to be a professionally run and logic-oriented organization with a clear process and objective. Ms. Singer agreed that the organizational structure and process for both CRA and City-funded public art projects could be improved. Mr. Vince Wooten noted there had been significant input from the neighborhood A CONVERSATION WITH City of Delray Beach CRA Staff RE: CITY OF DELRAY BEACH PUBLIC ART PROEJCTS APPENDIX B Page 3 of 32 residents on the CR ’sA MLK project which had steered the design. Ms. Singer suggested that selection panels could include representatives from the City of Delray Beach, the CRA, the facility, the neighborhood (user groups) and project’sAa rchitect and landscape architect and artist. When Ms. Colonna brought up problems th at had occurred in a previous project, Ms. Singer commented that it would help to have an artist as part of the design team. Mr. Rich McGloin noted that the Ordinance does not specify art in any project whatsoever. The Ordinance takes a pool of money out of the City budget and puts it in the Public Art Advisory Board pool. The Public Art Advisory Board is supposed to diligently spend it. It does not go towards the specific project the monies came from. He also pointed out that there is nothing in the CRA contract that says anything about 1.5% set aside for art. Ms. Singer suggested the possibility of a Public Art Coordinator for the City being funded in part by the CRA to do CRA projects. Ms. Colonna responded that once someone was in the City system, CRA has no control over their performance or work product and she did not think the CRA board would support funding another position in that manner. She said she thought a public art consultant might be a better idea to work on specific projects. When Ms. Singer commented that the bothAtheACityAandACR ’sApublicAartA process does not work as efficiently or professionally as other programs around the state of FL and nationally. Ms. Alberta Gaum-Rickard responded that we need an Art Administrator, a City employee, to integrate everyone. Mr. McGloin said the City of Delray Beach Public Art Ordinance needed to be changed in order to function properly and be of service to the other groups. He said it seemed as though the successful art projects were ones in which art was included in the design specifications, and were administered by consultants. Mr,AMcGloinAaskedAifAtheACR AwouldAgiveA1,5%AintoAtheACity’sApool,AMs,AColonnaAsaidAsheAdidAnotAthinkAtheA board would support that, but the CRA could possibly contribute t oAartAitselfAandAscopeAofAtheAprojectAifAit’sA located in the district. Mr. McGloin also saidAheAthoughtAit’dAbeAgoodAforAtheA City to change the Ordinance to provide an additional funding source for maintenance as well as administration. He noted that it wa s inefficient to use money from a project to be used only for that project, and that the concept of a pool is better. He felt the first priority should be administration, and the second should be to integrate into the projects. Ms. Singer said the CRA and the City could benefit from having parallel and similar policies and procedures for public art projects, especially for CRA projects that eventually are turned over to the City. The meeting ended at 11:50 AM.

Typical questions asked and answered when developing a public art project scope are: What are the budgetary and schedule parameters? What type of activities do you foresee happening there?

What is the seasonal effect? What are the day and nighttime site conditions? Is there pedestrian or vehicular access? Ms. Singer further explained that representatives from the following are typically involved in theAcreationAofAaAproject’sAscope;AuserAgroupsA(commissioningAagencyArepresentative.AstaffAwhoA know/useAtheA“facility”).AaAPublicA rtACoordina tor (project manager), a public art advisory board (volunteers), and community stakeholders (neighborhood groups, local business owners). The selection panel members change per project. Ms. Singer said that artist selections are typically qualifications based and that for shortlist selection artists are selected based on a letter of intent, resume, and images of past work. In finalist selection artists prepare proposals or are interviewed. Information about the project is contained in the RFQ (design team, who is involved, broad or specific goals, location, budget, what happens at site, history, and relevance). Artist selections can be local, statewide, or national. Ms,ASinger’sApresentationAthenAgaveAanAoverviewAofApublicAartAnationwide,ANationally.AtheA majority of public art is funded by percent for art programs. There are over 40 programs in the State of Florida. National and international studies demonstrate that developers, investors, and occupiers of commercial property value public art and understand that public art improves their property and is a critical part of economic development and. Sometimes it is valuable to include the neighborhood in revitalization projects. Ms. Singer then opened discussion on how public art could be improved in Delray Beach. M r. Joe Gillie asked if a nonprofit has the right to sell artwork. Ms. Singer responded that generally, an organization or owner has the right to sell a donated artwork and that provisions regarding sale of artwork should be in the donation agreement . Usually the donor is given right of first refusal to remove an artwork at his or her expense before it is destroyed. Selling A CONVERSATION WITH Delray Beach Non -Profit Organizations APPENDIX B Page 6 of 32 donated work occurs, but it is controversial. Ms. Singer reminded everyone that copyright always belongs to the artist. Ms. Alberta Gaum-Rickard said City Commission wants the Public Art Advisory Board, the Community Redevelopment Agency, Old School Square, Pineapple Grove, Downtown Development Authority to coordinate with the same common goal for art in the City. She would like to see if pooling funds towards this end is possible. Mr. Gillie asked Ms. Gaum-Rickard if there is going to be a Public Art Coordinator for the City. Ms. Gaum-Rickard responded that was still to be determined. Ms. Singer pointed out that the salary for th eACityAofABoyntonABeach’sA Public Art Administrator is a percentage of the 1.5% allocated for public art for capital improvement projects. Ms. Ferrer used the example of bike racks in the downtown area as a project that would benefit from collaborative effort. She added there was no one to go to. Ms. Singer asked the assembled group how they felt about a fee for service approach for arts coordination. Ms. Marjorie Ferrer said the merchants needed to decide if they wanted to spend money on a middleman in addition to an artist and materials. Mr. Gillie said if the Arts Coordinator is not effective, they get in your way. Mr. Gillie then gave an example of a piece of art that was dropped off at Old School Square without any prior discussion or thought as to pl acement. Ms. Singer said that example is actually what happens when there is no one person or entity responsible for coordinating project stakeholders. Ms. Ferrer added there had been no marketing of this piece. Ms. Singer concurred, saying that an Art Coordinator would provide information about a project so it could be marketed. Mr. Gillie remarked that art is so subjective it makes it difficult for an administrator. Ms. Singer notedAthatAyes.AartAisAsubjective.AandAthat’sAwhyAthereAneedsAtoAbeAaAsetAproc ess with a person coordinating with all involved parties. This is not difficult for an Art Coordinator. Mr. Gillie used theAexampleAofAtheAPublicA rtA dvisoryABoard’sArecommendationAthatAtheABoyAScoutAsculptureA not be placed at the Boy Scout Park, and questioned the expertise of the members of the board. Ms. Singer stated that she was under the impression that the Public Art Advisory Board had recommended that and that the sculpture not be accepted it, but that Commission moved it forward anyway. Regarding this and other donation scenarios, Ms. Singer pointed out that all artists think their work is great, but just because they want to donate their work to the City that doesn’tAmeanAtheACityAwantsAtoAacceptAit, Ms. Sandi Franciosa said the Public Art Advisory Board was supposed to help City Commission set standards on public art. Mr. Fisher noted that the way someone got on the board had nothing to do with expertise. Ms. Ferrer said there is no oversight. Ms. Singer asked the attendees what roles an Art Coordinator could fulfill to improve the public art process. Mr. Gillie responded that it was difficult to answer this question not knowing how effective an Art Coordinator would be until he or she is in the role and making decisions; then it’sAtooAlate,AHeAa sked who was going to administer the public arts administrator. Ms. Singer A CONVERSATION WITH Delray Beach Non -Profit Organizations APPENDIX B Page 7 of 32 stated that it is not yet determined what department such a function would be placed in. She also said that this person would also serve as a liaison to the Public Art Advisory Board. Typically, Art Coordinators are situated in departments involved in capital projects i.e. Facilities, Engineering , Planning , Parks etc. Being placed in one of these divisions, the Art Coordinator can be more efficient because he or she is working in departments already involved in capital projects. Mr. Gillie remarked that there needs to be a consensus as to how things get done. There should be a definite structure with the Public Art Administrator at the top. There should also be set criteria for the Public Art Advisory Board members. Mr. Gillie would want to see an established structure before proceeding with this. Mr. Fisher agrees with Mr. Gillie regarding there being criteria for the board. Mr. Gillie said that presently City staff is not effective in oversight as it relates to public art. Ms. Franciosa said anyone who stays too long becomes complacent. Ms. Ferrer asked to get an integrated public arts map. She pointed out that visitors have no clue as to where any art is. Not only are organizations not communicating to our visitors and end users, they are not communicating with each other. She cited an example of how the DDA had purchasedAaA40’AsphereAtreeAlastAyear,ATheyAdidn’tAaskAanybody:AtheyAjustAdidAit,AMr,AFisherAsaidA that was an example of why the art board needed to be restructured.

Ms. Ferrer said the board shoul dn’tAhaveAtoAapproveAtheAthingsAweAagreeAon,ASheAalsoAsaidA if she had to go through a process, she probably could not have afforded the tree nor would she have received it in time. Ms. Singer noted that project may not have been considered art, and it was temporary. Mr. Fisher said right now the art board needed to go through Commission to spend any money. He said they needed a discretionary dollar amount in order to do small projectsAandAkeepAaAfewAironsAinAtheAfire,AMs,AFerrerAsaidAsheAdidn’tAevenAhaveAaA map until she recently found that the Parks and Recreation Department had one. She also said the gateway project is stuck in Engineering because of a problem with the soil. The CRA has the money alreadyAapproved,AMs,AFranciosaAsaidAthat’sAwhereAanAadminist rator would help. It seems things are put in abeyance indefinitely. Mr. Fisher asked if Ms. Singer was asking the groups to contribute to a fee for the administrator position. Ms. Singer asked what all thought regarding the non-profit groups partially fu nd ing a coordinator from the groups that benefit from the position, but not as the main source of funding. Mr. Gillie said the City and the CRA should fund the position, not the non-profits. Ms. Ferrer said that the non-profitAgroups’AroleAinAthisAshouldAb e to promote, not fund. She noted that everyone could contribute something to it by helping to promote it on the back end within what they already have budgeted. She also asked about what would happen if the public art coordinator does not like a project that is privately funded. Ms. Singer said the position and the policies do not even yet exist.

The meeting ended at 5:00PM A CONVERSATION WITH Delray Beach Cultural Event and Art Exhibit Producers APPENDIX B Page 8 of 32 A CONVERSATION WITH Delray Beach Cultural Event and Art Exhibit Producers RE: City of Delray Beach Public Art Projects Meeting Minutes – October 26 , 2011 Community Center, Delray Beach Parks and Recreation, 50 NW 1st Avenue Delray Beach, FL 33444 In attendance Sarah Martin - Executive Director, Downtown Marketing Cooperative Nancy Stewart - Director, Festival Management Group Alyona Aleksandra Ushe - Executive Director, Creative City Collaborative Elayna Toby Singer - Administrator, Palm Beach County Art in Public Places Administrator Alberta Guam-Rickard - Recreation Superintendent, Delray Beach Parks & Recreation (staff liaison to City of Delray Beach Public Art Advisory Board) Sandi Franciosa - Member, City of Delray Beach Public Art Advisory Board Samantha Cohen - Intern, Palm Beach County Art in Public Places The meeting began at 10:35 AM with Ms. Elayna Toby Singer posing the question: Why is everyone here today? She then went on to explain that everyone in attendance works with artists through the art events, festivals, and exhibitions each group organizes and prom otes,AMs,ASingerAsaidAshe’sAawareAthatA artists are a key part of the programs, events, etc these groups provide and which attract local and out- of -state audiences. Ms. Elayna Toby Singer stat ed that the purpose was to solicit input and feedback regarding what is successful and what could be improved with public art in the City of Delray Beach. She then presented onAwhatApublicAartAisA(aAsenseAofAplace.AsiteAspecific.ArelatesAtoAtheAplaceAinAwhichAit’sAlocated.AimprovesA design quality and public infrastructure) and an explanation of a public artist (a design professional who is another part of a capital construction project). Ms. Singer pointed out that the commissioning agency owns the art work, but the artist owns the copyright to the design. There are legal implications if the art is altered in any way. Ms. Singer continued her presentation with a description of The City of Delray Beach Public Art Ordinance,ATheAOrdinanceAwasAestablishedAinA2004AinArecognitionAofAitsAvalueAinAfurtheringAtheAcity’sA Comprehensive Plan and to ensure the aesthetics of the City. It stipulates that 1.5% of eligible projects is to cover the expenses for design, selection and acquisition, installation, maintenance and administration. If a Capital Improvement Project is less than $200,000, that money is to be pooled for other projects. Appropriations for Capital Improvement Projects can come from bonds, grants or other sources. Ms. Singer reviewed the various types of capital projects that are and are not eligible for public art according to the Ordinance. The Ordinance also mandated the creation of the Delray Beach Public Art Advisory Board and its responsibilities, such as developing the scope of a project. A CONVERSATION WITH Delray Beach Cultural Event and Art Exhibit Producers APPENDIX B Page 9 of 32 Ms. Singer also provided an overview of several other city plans and demonstrated how public art relates to realizing the goals outlined in these plans. She highlighted on the Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan (2002), Delray Beach Public Art Needs Assessment (2003), Delray Beach Public Art Master Plan (2004), the Delray Beach Cultural Plan and Creative City Collaborative of 2006, and the City of Delray Beach Strategic Plan and National Citizen Survey of 2010. Public art ties into these with physical improvements, beautification, park features, designs, and cultural tourism. The public art process is similar to the processes of capital construction projects, i.e., RFQ, shortlist selection, finalist selection, contract negotiation, design development, fabrication, installation, ribbon cutting, and long term maintenance. Similar to other design professionals (e.g., architects, landscape architects, and engineers) public artists play an important and unique role in interdisciplinary projects teams.

The selection panel members change per project. Ms. Singer said that artist selections are typically qualifications based and that for shortlist selection artists are selected based on a letter of intent, resume, and images of past work. In finalist selection artists prepare proposals or are interviewed.

Sometimes it is valuable to include the neighborhood in revitalization projects. Ms. Singer then opened discussion on how public art could be improved in Delray Beach. Ms. Martin asked if the 1.5% of money from a capital construction project goes directly toward that specific project or if the Public Art Board pools it for use on other projects.

She further explained that nationally, the typical procedure entails creating a specific panel per project involving representatives of a Public Art Board and user groups with an Art Coordinator facilitating the process (not voting). To date, public art selections performed by the City of Delray Beach, Delray Beach CRA, and nonprofits in Delray Beach have not been done in accordance with national standards. Ms. Stewart inquired about a resource for submitting Calls to Artists. She noted that she often reaches out to many different art colleagues to help spread the word and still comes up short. Ms. Singer stated that currently the City of Delray Beach does not have such a resource. Typically, a City Arts Coordinator would provide these resources to help connect local nonprofits and businesses with artists. Ms. Stewart stated that there is no professionalism in regard to how the City handles its Calls to Artists. There is no specific person to contact that maintains a list for the City . Ms. Martin also noted that the art world in South Florida is very intertwined and based on connections. Events managers don’tAhaveAtheA time to integrate themselves into arts culture. Having someone to work with them who is involved with the arts and has these connections would be a great asset. Ms. Stewart chimed in with an example about how participation by artists responding to Calls to Artists to create logo/poster designs for the Delray Affair has declined. She noted that collaborating and/or partnering with a City Arts Coordinator wouldAbeAgreatlyAbeneficialAtoAtheA“ ffair,”AMs,AMartinAcommentedAonAhowAsheAwantsAtoAmergeAwithAartA but outreach to artists has been a challenge. Everyone concurred that an Arts Coordinator would be helpful.

Ms. Martin commented that all this applies to a lot of what she does. Having a Coordinator who knows the process would assist her immensely. Ms. Singer then asked what kind of resources and coordination is needed to help everyone do their work and meet their goals. Ms. Ushe wanted to first say that she is very happy about the implementation of the new Public Art Master Plan and that Delray Beach is an arts town and public art needs to showcase this. Ms. Ushe then went on to say that she would like to see more cooperation and communication between various arts entities. As an example she talked about how a statue appeared in front of the Arts Garage one day out of nowhere and that there needs to be a strategic method for placing public art in public places. Ms. Ushe suggested the implementation of a cultural affairs office as one possible solution. A CONVERSATION WITH Delray Beach Cultural Event and Art Exhibit Producers APPENDIX B Page 11 of 32 M s.

Ms. Singer responded that in Palm Beach County there is an Artists Registry of over 1,000 artists. If the city had a similar resource, the announcement could be distributed for events, etc. Ms. Martin mentioned that this would be a huge asset. She could use it for a thousand different things. Ms. Singer asked if a City Arts Coordinator could be an asset for those in the meeting. The response was a unanimous yes. Ms. Singer then discussed how temporary public art is an event. These types of events attract many people to a location for a set time and can be used as a successful destination marketing tool. Pooled money can be used for implementing these types of projects. Ms. Martin stated that the city will not allow off-premiseAadvertisingAwhichAisAhowAmanyAofAtheseAtemporaryApublicAartA“events”AareAfunded,A She would like to see the city give some leeway. Ms. Franciosa stated that there are gaps in all the different organizations involved with public art in the City of Delray Beach and that an Art Coordinator could help. Every group can benefit from the expertise the Coordinator would bring. Ms. Stewart mentioned that she has participated in many city planning efforts including the original 2004 Master Plan which was never adopted. That Master Plan outlined the importance of having an Art Coordinator to initiate public art projects in the City. She would like to go back to that plan. The meeting ended at 11:50 AM. A CONVERSATION WITH ARTISTS Gary L. Moore & Cheryl Foster APPENDIX B Page 12 of 32 A CONVERSATION WITH ARTISTS RE: Delray Beach CRA Public Art Projects Meeting Minutes - October 28, 2011 Participants Cheryl Foster, Public Artist – West Atlantic Avenue Plaza - in progress Gary L. Moore, Public Artist – Commissioned in 2006 Elayna Toby Singer, Palm Beach County Art in Public Places Administrator Prior to the conference call Ms. Singer provided the questions below (in bold) t o the artists so they could think ahead about their answers in preparation for the phone meeting. CALL TO ARTIST (RFQ) PHASE How did you hear about the public art project you were commissioned for? (Call to Artists/RFQ, direct selection, other) Cheryl ThroughAGoogleA lertsAforACallAtoA rtistsARFQ’s Gary He was approached by the CRA project manager to provide design services for a sidewalk capital project. His was a Direct Selection.

Was the project’sAscope,Abudget,Aschedule,Aetc.AclearlyAoutlined?A Cheryl The process and requirements were spelled out sufficiently in the RFQ, but she was su rprised that the RFQ included a request for developing a proposal as part of the short list selection process . SheAsaidAsheAwouldn’tAnormallyArespondAtoAaARFQAthatAasksAforAaAproposalAasA it’sAconsideredAunprofessionalAandAagainstA best practices per the Americans for the Arts Public Art Network, etc. but she took the risk and responded by submitting only a narrative of her project approach without an illustrated design proposal. Cheryl / Gary Both said it is not wise for artists to apply to request for qualifications that ask for proposals but only those that ask for project approach narrative with images from sample past projects. Gary The project scope was clearly defined, but the budget was not clearly outlined. A CONVERSATION WITH ARTISTS Gary L. Moore & Cheryl Foster APPENDIX B Page 13 of 32 W asAtheAproject’sAbudgetAreasonableAforAtheArequiredAscopeAofAdeliverables?AA Cheryl The project budget was not sufficient per the scope the artist was required to fulfill. Material costs absorbed most of the small budget, especially since the CRA had minimum height requirements for the sculpture. There was little to no money in the budget for the typical 1 0%-20%A“artistAfee”,A lso.AwhileAcommunity/stakeholderAparticipationAwasAanA important part of the project, costs for community involvement were not included in the artist’sAprojectAbudget,A She applied because she was attracted to the theme and subject area but knew that based on the advertised project budget it was not going to be profitable; maybe not even a break even project for her. Gary The fee he received for design and construction oversight was sufficient. His fee did cover his costs related to community involvement.

He participated without additional pay because it made for a more successful project. ARTIST SELECTION PHASE Please tell us about your positive and/or negative experiences in the artist selection process. WereAtheAselectionsAhandledAprofessionally,AsimilarAtoAothersAyou’veAparticipatedAinAacrossAtheA country? Cheryl She received an email of acceptance that included the votes/scores from the selection committee. She believes it is a good idea to know what a committee thinks and it helps on future projects to know where you stand. Gary Since he was invited directly, he did not go through a public/competitive selection process. What suggestions do you have for the CRA to improve its shortlist and finalist selection processes? Cheryl/Gary No suggestions. CONTRACT PHASE With who were you contracted for your project? Was your contractual relationship smooth or problematic – please explain. DoAyouArecallAifAthereAwereAanyAcontractA“surprises”Ai.e.A requirements not outlined in the Call to Artists? Cheryl Contract was directly with the CRA. Relationship was smooth. It addressed her rights (Visual Arts Rights Act 1990) and use of her images. No surprises. CRA was uncomfortable when A CONVERSATION WITH ARTISTS Gary L. Moore & Cheryl Foster APPENDIX B Page 14 of 32 sh e removed 10% to 15% contingency and put it into other line items. She feels that this line item is important in case there are changes or delays that the artist or the contracting body can not anticipate. Gary He was contracted by the City of Delray engineering department. He was surprised at how loose the scope was. His contract included design services and construction oversight, but only included one material line item (for bronze plaques). He did not have budget control on most materialsAandAinstallationAwhichAwereAinsteadAinAtheAcontractor’sAcontractAandAbudget, Contract did not address (VARA). His role in the bidding process was not specified within his contract, no is budget, but he provided these services anyway. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE Please share positive and/or negative experiences you had in the design development phase. WhatAwasAchallengingAand/orAeasyAaboutAworkingAwithAtheACR AandAtheAproject’sAdesignA professionals? Cheryl During this stage there were discrepancies in the foundation specifications. Foundations were installed that were not in line with the CRA sculpture requirements. This caused delays in permitting. The artist felt that in the future, when a sculpture of a certain height is requested, someone should make sure that the foundation is adequate for that height. The artist also finds that projects where the project manager follows up on all communications go more smoothly. Gary He wants to commend the CRA for advocating for him at the community meetings PERMIT PHASE WhatAchallengesAdidAyouAfaceAwithAtheACityAofADelray’sApermittingA process? What, if anything, could have made it smoother? How could the CRA and/or City staff been more helpful in the permit phase? Cheryl Vince Wooten is taking care of permitting and this process has been completed. Gary Did not deal with permitting. FABRIACTION PHASE Please share positive and/or negative experiences you had in the fabrication phase. What wasAchallengingAand/orAeasyAaboutAworkingAwithAtheACR AandAtheAproject’sAdesignA professionals? Cheryl N/A – her project had not reached this phase yet. INSTALLATION PHASE A CONVERSATION WITH ARTISTS Gary L. Moore & Cheryl Foster APPENDIX B Page 15 of 32 Plea se share positive and/or negative experiences you had in the installation phase. What wasAchallengingAand/orAeasyAaboutAworkingAwithAtheACR AandAtheAproject’sAdesignA professionals? Cheryl N/A – her project had not reached this phase yet. Gary CRA was not present for site inspections of terrazzo installation although it was their responsibility. Gary observed that code requirements of border around the terrazzo were not followed by fabricator so he br ought this and other problems to CRA ’s attention. The CRA was responsive but not proactive. There was also a major problem with cracks in the terrazzo because it was not cured properly. Again, Gary took charge and brought the CRA Project Manager in to address this issue. CRA installation oversight was lacking. OVERALL EXPERIENCE WhatAstandsAoutAasAmostApositiveAandAmostAnegativeAaboutAyourAexperienceAwithADelray’sA CRA? Cheryl In general, the selection panel had a positive attitude. The sculpture foundation problem was the most negative. Gary The most positive was the freedom and respect for his work and the overall experience . One negative aspect was the issues with the terrazzo contractor and the lack of CRA oversight. In his opinion it is not good to have engineering department have so much influence. In terms of professionalism, how does your experience with the Delray Beach CRA compare toAthoseAyou’veAhadAwithAotherAprogramsAinAFLAandAacrossAtheAcountry? Cheryl From one to ten she would rate CRA with a five. Gary From one to ten he would rate CRA with a nine Would you encourage or dissuade your public art colleagues to respond to future Delray Beach CRA sponsored projects? Please explain. Cheryl I would not discourage someone from applying. Artists should protect themselves from low budgets. If I were to recommend I would caution there is financial sacrifices involved. Gary CRA tends to have low budgets. Gary Suggests involving an experienced artist on the CRA Board to evaluate project budgets so they are more realistic. A CONVERSATION WITH ARTISTS Gary L. Moore & Cheryl Foster APPENDIX B Page 16 of 32 nyAotherAcommentsAorAinsightsAyou’dAlikeAtoAshare? Cheryl She is reminded of how important her job is when she sees passersby and children proud of their community and of seeing an African American woman realizing this work. Gary Very excited about what he does, and the impact it can have particularly in the African American community. He finds the CRA supportive of such projec ts .

The point person from the City had no experience in public art and was unable to answer my questions. She was not qualified to be doing this and she told me that the city really needs a liaison. OVERALL EXPERIENCE What stands out as most positive and most negative about your experience with the City of Delray’sAPublicA rtAprogram?APleaseAexplain. I was not impressed by the lack of guidance and knowledge from the City liaison that the PAAB had me work with to direct my questions about installation details to. She was very sweet and very responsive, just admitted she had never administered a project before and was not sure how to go about it. W ith design details the PAAB Board was very engaged and helpfully so but when it came to the details like the wattage, the size, type of light pole (i.e. what was permissible, what met code etc) they didn't know so directed me to other City employees who might (and I mean might) know. That's where I was met with a lot of question marks and quizzical looks. Which is why there were light poles I designed and were approved to be in the park but the City does not want to change the bulbs now that they've burned out because they require a bulb that is not standard- ditto the LED's that I used in the trees. Ditto landscaping that was approved but now the City says it can't maintain the way it should be.

PERMIT PHASE WhatAchallengesAdidAyouAfaceAwithAtheACityAofADelray’sAper mitting process? What, if anything, could have made it smoother? How could the City staff been more helpful in the permit phase? Please explain. This phase was an enormous, unanticipated challenge. It took two years to permit after contracting with the City. Because the project site is owned by FDOT, there was a tremendous amount of administrative issues and communication to coordinate between FDOT and the City. NegotiatingAtheAmysteriesAofAFDOT’sAadministrativeAworkingsAwithAnoApriorAexperienceAisAaA Herculean feat. FDOT lacked any staff familiar with the concept of public art or coordinating permitting public art. The City of Delray Beach also lacked any staff dedicated to supporting an artist in this process. A public art administrator from the City of Delray Beach would have been invaluable during this phase of the project. A CONVERSATION WITH Artist Michiko Kurisu APPENDIX B Page 26 of 32 FABRICATION PHASE Please share positive and/or negative experiences you had in the fabrication phase. What was challenging and/or easy about working with the City of Delray Beach and/or other design professionals assigned to the project? Please explain. There was no City staff assigned to the design phase of this project, so to speak. I handled all the actualAfabricationAmyself.AIAdeliveredAengineeredAplansAtoAtheACity’sAengineering department for approval. As per comments in #11, a City of Delray Beach public art administrator would have been helpful in this phase, too. INSTALLATION PHASE Please share positive and/or negative experiences you had in the installation phase. What w asAchallengingAand/orAeasyAaboutAworkingAwithAtheACR AandAtheAproject’sAdesignA professionals? Please explain. I managed the installation myself. As per comments in Permit Phase response, a City of Delray Beach public art administrator would have been helpful in this phase, too. Additional Comments Based on Phone Conversation: There was no overall accountability on this project; no stewardship from the City. I had to act as my own project manager, but I was not informed about any of the C ity’sAprocess es and had to figure everything out on my own. I had to constantly follow-up with C ity employees in order to get any information. OVERALL EXPERIENCE What stands out as most positive and most negative about your experience with the City of Delray’sAPublic Art program? Please explain. Most positive: the desire to support & nurture the arts Most negative: lack of knowledgeable, full-time public arts administrator to support artists, and the envisioning, creation, installation, and maintenance of public art. In terms of professionalism, how does your experience with the City of Delray Beach Public rtAprogramAcompareAtoAthoseAyou’veAhadAwithAotherAprogramsAinAFLAandAacrossAtheAcountry?A Please explain. N/A A CONVERSATION WITH Artist Michiko Kurisu APPENDIX B Page 27 of 32 Would you encourage or dissuade your public art colleagues to respond to future City of Delray Beach sponsored projects? Please explain. I would encourage them. nyAotherAcommentsAorAinsightsAyou’dAlikeAtoAshare?A As comments above suggest, the biggest challenge I experienced in the process of implementing a City commissioned public artwork, was the lack of a knowledgeable public arts City staff person. Such a person who could have helped to coordinate between the many departments and people that had to be consulted or involved in other ways in the process would have no doubt made the process much more efficient and smooth. I had no idea what a challenge it would be to work with FDOT. I essentially became a project manager with no support staff. The City staff that I contacted was very helpful, but with no one dedicated to overseeing the art installation, it became the challenge of connecting the dots to reveal the picture of who needed to be involved when and where. Quite frankly, project manager at that level is a role that I imagine few full time artists either desire, or are even capable of fulfilling. It certainly made me crazy, and cost significant sacrifices of time and personal resources. Additional Comments Based on Phone Conversation : There were many problems relating to the maintenance of thi sAproject.AThere’sAaAdefiniteAlackAofA communication and the city actually damaged the project because they did not follow the instructions left by the artist. Also, the artist herself, on her own dime, had to replant plants that were vandalized. Volunteers are donating their time to follow-up on these projects instead of actual paid officials. A CONVERSATION WITH City of Delray Beach City Staff APPENDIX B Page 28 of 32 A CONVERSATION WITH Delray Beach City Staff RE: City of Delray Beach Public Art Projects Meeting Minutes – March 2, 2012 Environmental Services Division , 434 South Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444 In attendance Alberta Gaum-Rickard - Recreation Superintendent, Parks & Recreation (Staff liaison to City of Delray Beach Public Art Advisory Board) Linda Karch-Director, Parks and Recreation Paul Dorling- Director, Planning and Zoning (present only for the first ten minutes of the meeting) Rafael Ballestero- Deputy Director of Construction Randal Krejcarek - City Engineer Dana Donaty - Chair, Public Art Advisory Board Elayna Toby Singer - Administrator, Palm Beach County Art in Public Places Laura Wiswell - Intern, Palm Beach County Art in Public Places The meeting began at 2:30 PM , with Ms. Singer referencing the 2004 Public Art Ordinance which mandates 1.5% budget allocation to integration of art into Capital Improvement Projects (CIP). If the Capital Project has a budget of $200,000 or below, the 1.5% can be pooled for other public art projects. Elayna explained that, despiteAtheAordinance.ApublicAartAhasAnotAbeenAintegratedAintoACityACIP’sAaccordingly, Elayna then explained the typical national process for integrating public art into CIPs. The process includes: Budget Allocation, Scope Development, RFQ/Call to Artists, Short List Selection, Finalist Selection, Contract Negotiation, Design Development, Fabrication, Installation, and Maintenance. She further explained how this process is geared towards improving the quality and design of a CIP.

Rafael stated that this view is more integrated than his original concept of public art. Linda remarked that the images Ms. Singer presented in stakeholder meetings made it evident that having the art integrated from the beginning of a CIP is the way to go and made a positive impact in the example projects she presented. Elayna started a conversation with participants regarding public art projects implemented in the past and asked what was positive and negative about the process. Paul stated that what he has seen so far is that public art funds have been pooled, accumulated and used for non CIP Integrated projects, i.e. for projects that the Public art Advisory Board (PAAB) suggested. Randal shared that shortly after the ordinance was established, City Staff presented various bond projects to the PAAB for their consideration to integrate art into a project, and because 1.5% of CIP was perceived by PAAB as insufficient to positively impact each CIP individually, they recommended not integrating it into each specific CIP, but instead pooling the funds. As a result of Staff receiving A CONVERSATION WITH City of Delray Beach City Staff APPENDIX B Page 29 of 32 c onsistent recommendations from PAAB to not integrate art into CIPs, Staff discontinued presenting projects to PAAB for consideration. Therefore the 1.5% was not applied directly to the CIP from which it came. Pooled funds were used for PAAB initiated projects instead of following the capital budgeting process and annual capital priorities. In addition, when the Staff saw an opportunity to integrate art into City/CRA funded projects, they did so without Public Art Board involvement in project scope development and artist/artwork selection. Elayna went on to explain that in other stakeholder meet ingsAthereAwasAaAconsensusAthatAtheACity’sAlackAofAaApublicA artACoordinatorAcausesAdisorganizationAandAinefficiency,ARandalArespondedAthatAinAtheACity’sAcurrentAfinancialAcrunchA there is little hope for a public art Administrator position being established which would make a big difference in improving art integration into CIPs. Linda also felt that it was the wrong economic time to have an art Administrator on staff. Randal asked Elayna that if the 1.5% of a CIP co uld be spent towards funding a public artist to provide design services for the CIP. Elayna responded that the City could use the 1.5% to include an artist in the design team to integrateAartAandAfulfillAtheAfacility’sAarchitecturalAprogramArequirementsAsuchAasAflooring.Aseating.Awindows.A sidewalks, streetlights, landscape, etc. Dana commented that she was aware that a public art Consultant was hired on the a rchitect’sAteamA for the Worthing park project and questioned why fundsAweren’tAspentAinsteadAo n bringing an artist into the project.

The following conversation ensued. What’sA been positive about serving on the City of Delray Beach Public Art Advisory Board? Michiko Kurisu said that hiring Elayna Toby Singer as a consultant has brought light upon the current state of Pu blic Art in the City of Delray Beach and the PAAB now understands its weakness and can work on it. Sandy Franciosa, Dana Donaty and Alberta Gaum-RickardAallAsaidAit’sAbeenAhelpfulAtoAattendAtheA Florida Association of Public Art Professionals conference where they learned more about the public art process and how other public art programs around Florida function. Alberta Gaum-Rickard said that through the presentations given by Ms. Singer, more and more individuals and department heads are starting to have a n understanding of the public art process. Mary Minieka said she enjoys and learns from seeing each step of a projects process-both successes and mistakes to improve from next time. Rich McGloin said the best thing about the Board is that it’sAhere.AthatAi t exists. Pat Trusello added that seeing projects be completed and installed is a rewarding, and the way they involve and give back to the community is positive. What’sA been negative about serving on the City of Delray Beach Public Art Advisory Board? City staff and PAAB never established a blue print for itself as to how to operate particularly because PAAB is different than other City boards. Unlike other advisory boards to the Commission (e.g.: Planning and Zoning, A CONVERSATION WITH Former and Current PAAB Members APPENDIX B Page 31 of 32 S.P.R.A.B.) which are generally advising/voting only boards .AP B’sAroleAisAtoAbeAinvolvedAinA the planning and selection of projects in addition to recommending how public art funds are spent. As a result of the City not giving priority to funding a person to coordinate City public art projects, either artists commissioned by the City or volunteer PAAB members try to work as administrators on projects. There also seemsAtoAbeAlackAofAcoordinationAbetweenAP B’sAstaffAliaisonAandAotherACityAstaffAandAprojectsAareAnotAbroughtA to the Board for their involvement. Also, no notice is provided from City staff to PAAB when public art policies are being addressed among Staff and Commissioners. Despite generating many creative ideas for public art , PAAB has had difficulty implementing projects. Board members often resign from the frustration of getting nothing done. Volunteer members say they want to be useful and have their time spent productively. There is presently a lack of orientation and training for new PAAB members. Board members learn their roles over time. With short term limits there is a lack of consistency and loss of knowledge on the Board at any one time. Similarly, with each election cycle City Commissioners engaged in public art may no longer be involved. With public art funds constantly under threat for elimination, i t’sA been hard to build the public art program, making it difficult to implement sustainable ideas. For projects that have been completed, the City hasn’tA budget ed for maintenance ,ATheACity’sAwebsiteAisAunderutilize d for showcasing public art projects that have been implemented. What recommendations do you have to improve the function of the City of Delray Beach Public Art Advisory Board in the future? Broaden the definition of public art so it does not always have to be permanent and static; public art can be temporary, an interactive community involved event, and/or an art happening including performance. These art events are perfect opportunities for marketing Delray Beach. IfAsuccessfullyAutilized.AP B’sAwebsit e could be a powerful tool to promote public art and support the arts in Delray Beach. It should be current, functional, and include the ability to apply for projects. PAAB members need to be familiar with public art from across the nation and use their knowledge to inspire City staff and engage the community. The board could host community outreach workshops where artists work with residents and provide an interactive artistic experience. Bringing in an artist from a different area can also bring a new perspective and make a positive influence on artwork as well as community engagement. In order to successfully implement and maintain quality public art in the City of Delray Beach, t he Public Art Advisory Board and City staff need to coordinate efforts. Members of the Art Board come from a diverse background of arts related professions and could use their talents to generate innovative ideas and inspire artistic endeavors. These ideas, however, cannot be actualized without the approval of City Commissioners and cooperation of involved City staff. A Public Art Coordinator could facilitate coordination between the Board and staff. A CONVERSATION WITH Former and Current PAAB Members APPENDIX B Page 32 of 32 Alo ng with an Art Coordinator to work with staff and PAAB, amalgamating the Art Board with a department in the City would also not only ease the process of installing art, but help to integrate public art projects in CIPs. The Board needs to familiarize itself with the process and learn the role of an Art Advisory Board, generally in regard to the selection process, along with how PAAB fits into City structure and the roles of other players. The structure currently in place within the City must be improved to fulfill the functions listed in the Public Art Ordinance in relation to budget allocation, scope, and, etc. Currently it seems that PAAB is being systematically uninvolved in the public art process within the City. To prevent the loss of knowledge that comes with changing members and to keep the momentum going on long term projects, Board members should have longer terms. Training/orientation should be given to new Board and they should take more responsibility to self educate about the public art process in the City and national best standards. Due to Commission terms limits too, and the lack of common knowledge about public art procedures, there could be workshops with PAAB and Commission er to educate them about the process. After the conversation, Ms. Singer then gave a brief overview of some of the key findings and recommendationsAshe’sAbeenAgatheringAinAherAreportAthusAfar,ASheAannouncedAthatAsheAwillAbeA reviewing the full report on March 26, 2012 at the next PAAB meeting.

Barcinski, Assistant City Manager THROUGH:David T. Harden, City Manager DATE:May 1, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM WS.2 - WORKSHOP MEETING OF MAY 8, 2012 CONSIDER BID PROPOSAL FOR THE DAVIS CUP FINALS ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Commission is requested to authorize staff to devel op a bid proposal to the USTA for the Davis Cup Finals, which will be held in the United States Nov ember 16-18, 2012, provided that the US team beats Spain and the Czech Republic team beats Argentina. BACKGROUND Commission has previously expressed a desire to pur sue another Davis Cup or FED Cup Tournament. The USTA has just put out an email anno uncing that it will be accepting bids for the Davis Cup finals in November. Target dates are as follows: Letter of Intent due July 2, 2012 Final Bid due August 6, 2012 Final Site Section about September 24, 2012 Advantages to our Site/City: Our previous experience with the USTA for Fed Cup a nd Davis Cup ties. Our staff support that we have provided for previou sly held FED Cup and Davis Cup matches. Our City, downtown, beaches, restaurants and walkin g distance to the stadium from hotels. Disadvantage: Small size of our stadium of about 8,100 seats. The last FED finals held in the US was in Portland, which had an 18,000 seat stadium. However , our advantages and the fact that the USTA can set ticket prices according to the stadium size will help to overcome this disadvantage. Requirements for our bid: Cash contribution of $400,000 to the USTA. Provide City staff support at no cost as we have do ne in the past, which includes security, EMS assistance, site set up assistance, electrician, si te cleanup and equipment use. Be able to secure and block approximately 350-400 rooms locally before, during and after tournament. Total room days about 5-7 days. Strategies for Funding/Options to pursue to offset costs: Try to obtain grants from the Palm Beach County Spo rts Commission and TDC. Write into the bid a revenue sharing proposal with USTA at $1 million ticket sales, $1.5 million ticket sales and $2 million ticket sales. Sell local sponsorships and include value added spo nsorship with possible sponsors for ITC. Possible use of local economic impact dollars for promoting business relocation and or other new business locating in Delray Beach. Request sponsorship from the CRA. Strategy for Bid Package: In addition to including financial, staff support a nd hotel commitments we would: Submit a final bid with the letter of intent and as k for an early notification based on compelling reasons. We would request notification be given at the end of August or first week of September. These reasons would be: Need to know for grant programs Sponsors need to know for their budget decisions Hotels need lead time to block rooms City needs to know to finalize our budget We have it from good sources the USTA has done earl y notification in the past based on compelling reasons. We are requesting authorization for staff to procee d since we need to begin discussions with the Sport s Commission and TDC, potential sponsors, hotels and Vin Nolan. We also need to start developing sponsor funding scenarios. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above strategies, we recommend authori zation to develop a bid package with the USTA for the Davis Cup finals.
