PUBLIC HEARINGS/GENERAL BUSINESS 2 14-0914 Propose Study Issues Chair Park proposed a study issue to making an addendum or policy change to AIPP (Art in Public Places); wherein to use some of that money, I'm hoping half of that money, the other half coming from public safety, to solicit public art from the Sunnyvale public with a separate program for schools in Sunnyvale or schools that have a lot of Sunnyvale children attending them. Starting with utility box art, either artists solicited to paint the art or to have a skin cover over the utility box, also explore how much it would cost the City of Sunnyvale to reasonably do that. The study issue should cover partnering with the Public Safety Department for the purposes of public outreach and crime prevention, also explore the possibility of additional funds from other agencies; government agencies, private foundations and individual donations. Last, possibility of setting aside public space for citizen art, also as a means of public outreach and crime prevention. Commissioner Moshier seconded the motion. The Study Issue was accepted by the following vote: Yes: 3 - Chair Park Commissioner Kiphuth Commissioner Moshier No: 0 Absent: 1 - Vice Chair Santos NON-AGENDA ITEMS & COMMENTS -Commissioner Comments Chair Park thanked the City for installing the new slide at Las Palmas park.
