Re: Staff Report Public Art Workshop for 11-3-2015
Attached is a draft on a proposed addition to the Financial Policy for Public Art. This will be a
workshop item for discussion on November 3rd. During the workshop, I will give examples on how
this policy would impact Capital Improvement Projects that are in the 2016 Budget.
This policy was discussed at the Community Development Committee on October 27th.
If the policy was to pass, then the City would create a new capital fund for items 2. & 3 on the attached
proposed policy.
Also attached are some examples of what other jurisdictions have adopted.
I am also attaching Ordinance 163 that established the Public Arts Commission.

SECTION 2050 – MUNICIPAL PUBLIC ART
POLICY 2051 – Financing Public Art within City of Liberty Lake
It shall be the policy of the City, unless otherwise prohibited or limited by law, to direct
and further the inclusion of art in its public facilities. Such art shall include the visual

colors, forms, movements or other elements in a manner that enhances the sense of

1. City Capital Improvement Projects (Public – over $500,000).
All City Capital Projects that exceed $500,000 and are identified in the
Capital Facilities Plan must include construction for Public Art. The
amount for Public Art is based on the total amount of the awarded contract
for construction as originally approved by the city council or as
subsequently amended, multiplied by one (1) percent. The one percent
for Public Art must be used on the project that was awarded. The one
percent may not be transferred to another project.
2. City Capital Improvement Projects (Public – under $500,000).
For City Capital Projects that are less than $500,000 and identified in the
Capital Facilities Plan shall include a contribution of one (1) percent to a
special fund known as the “Municipal Arts Fund” of the amount of the
awarded contract for construction. City Council thru the Budget, may
appropriate dollars to be allocated to a special fund known as the
“Municipal Arts Fund”.
3. Additional allocation of Funds and Expenditures.
The City Council thru the Budget, may appropriate dollars to be allocated
to the Municipal Arts Fund.
The City Council, at its discretion and upon the recommendation and
advice of the Public Arts Commission, shall determine from time to time,
the amount to be allocated for the selection, acquisition, and/or installation
of individual works of art or the art that may be placed within, on, or about
other public facilities. All such expenditures for art shall be approved by

otherwise directed by city council. [Ord. 238 § 6, 1998]
3.31.070 Responsibilities of arts commission.

2-8-7 WORKS OF ART AND PUBLIC FACILITIES: - CITY OF RENTON
A. Subject to the consultation requirements of RMC 2-8-3D, all authorizations and/or appropriations for
municipal construction projects shall, concurrently, upon budgeting therefor by the City Council and
authorization by the Mayor, whenever legally permitted, include an amount equal to not less than one
percent (1%) of the actual total project cost, to be used for the selection, acquisition and/or installation of
works of art to be placed in, on, or about City public facilities, which are suitable and appropriate therefor.
The amount that is transferred to the one percent (1%) for art fund, based on the project’s budget cost
that is used for planning purposes, shall be adjusted up or down from that amount, based on the actual
total project cost after it has been completed. In the event any law, rule or regulation establishing a
source of funds for a particular project, including but not limited to grants, loans, or assistance from
Federal, State or other governmental units, prohibits, limits or excludes art and art works as a proper
expenditure, then the amount of funds from such source shall be excluded in computing the one percent
(1%) amount of the total project cost.
B. All funds authorized and/or appropriated pursuant to this Section shall be maintained in the one
percent (1%) for arts fund. The City Council, upon the recommendation and advice of the Commission,
shall approve, from time to time, the amount to be allocated for the selection, acquisition and/or
installation of individual works of art to be placed either as an integral part of the municipal construction
project in connection with which the funds were appropriated or attached thereto, or detached within or
outside such project, or to be placed in, on or about other public facilities. All of such expenditures for art
shall be approved by the City Council and as otherwise provided by law.
C. Funds authorized and/or appropriated pursuant to this Section for a municipal construction project
but not expended on any such project shall be placed and retained in the one percent (1%) for arts
reserve fund. If for any reason any transfer to such fund shall be contrary to law or prohibited by any rule
or regulation governing such funds, then any such unspent or residual sum authorized and/or
appropriated as a part of such construction project may be expended for any like or similar public purpose
or purposes relating to the selection, acquisition and/or installation of works of art. (Ord. 5155, 9-26-05;

improvement district property owners or developers participating in the cost of a project. In the event any law, rule
or regulation establishing a source of funds for a particular project prohibits, limits or excludes art and art works as a
proper expenditure on the part of these entities, then the amount of funds from such source shall be excluded in
computing the percentage amount of the “total estimated project cost.”
E. All funds authorized and/or appropriated pursuant to this section shall be maintained in the City of Issaquah

advice of the Commission, shall determine from time to time, the amount to be allocated for the selection,

expended on any such project) shall be retained in the “Municipal Arts Fund.” If, for any reason, any transfer to such
fund shall be contrary to law or prohibited by any rule or regulation governing such funds, then any such unspent or
residual sum authorized and/or appropriated as a part of a construction project shall be expended for the arts or
reimbursed to the funding source(s).
G. The City’s portion of the amount for art shall be placed in the Municipal Arts Fund as part of the City’s annual
budgeting of capital projects, or as otherwise determined by the Council.
