Position Paper
Wilkerson briefed the members of the draft position paper he and Bussell developed
addressing the PAC opposition to the recommendation of the downtown task force to
allow 3D signs and eventually submit the paper to the Planning Commission. Wilkerson
will email the draft to the group, members should review and respond with comments to
Seltzer. Members should consider what the PAC is trying to accomplish with the paper,
and the message they are trying to convey.
Utility Box JCCC Grant
Markell and Longshore will meet with Betty Powers, member of the Jackson county
Cultural Trust to discuss the PAC grant application for the utility box project. JCCC
generally announces the grant recipients in November with funds available after the news
year.
Community Development Fee
Seltzer briefed the PAC on the change to the 1/10 of 1% of commercial development
value for public art. The Site Design and Use Standard will change to require public art
as one of the components in large scale (10,000 square feet) and/or require the developer
to invest ½ of 1% of the value in the art, go through the public art process or pay the
equivalent in the Public Art Account. This modification requires a change to the current
land use code and will likely not occur until after the new year.
Lincoln Statue
The Parks Department is seeking recommendations from the PAC and an appropriate
location for the Lincoln Statue. Suggestions included the foyer of the Library, Civic
Center, lobby of Com Dev etc. Seltzer will invite Police chief to attend the November
meeting to speak about what can and can’t be done about vandalism to Public Art.
Calle RFP
Bussell gave an update to the draft RFP for the next Calle sculpture project. Members
suggested sticking with the original theme of water. Bussell will re-write and submit to
PAC members for comment via email. The hope is to initiate the “call to artists” before
the end of the year.
Peace Tiles
Wilkerson was contacted about the Peace Tile project. PAC asked the organizers to
make a presentation to the PAC at the November meeting.
Next meeting dates:
November 21, 8:15 a.m.
