Recommendation By Minute Motion, waive further reading and pass to second reading Ordinance No. 1369 revising Chapter 2.68 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code relative to the Art in Public Places Commission. Committee Recommendation The preliminary changes to the Art in Public Places (AIPP) Commission bylaws were taken to the AIPP Commission meeting of August 11, 2021, to include the change to the Commission's name. There were no objections to the changes. Background The Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem have been meeting with City staff to review the City's committees and commissions general make-up to include membership and bylaws. One modification that was proposed is to change the name of the Art in Public Places (AIPP) Commission to Cultural Arts Committee. Additionally, upon review of the AIPP bylaws, it was suggested that they be clarified to indicate what is specifically under the Commission's purview. An additional suggestion was for the Commission to provide ideas for more expansive City -sponsored art opportunities with a broadened scope of art mediums. With regard to clarifying the Commission's purview, the following is a list of projects that would be considered covered under the revised bylaws: — Art projects paid for with developer impact fees — i.e., developer public art projects on private property reimbursed with public art funds such as the upcoming Chandi and DSRT Surf projects Public Art projects in the public right of way or City -owned property paid for with Public Art or City funds Public Art Acquisitions or Donations Staff Report Ordinance revising Chapter 2.68 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code September 30, 2021 While the Commission would not have jurisdiction over art on private property or with regional projects, the bylaws would position the Commission to work with City departments to ensure that art is incorporated into the initial planning of public projects. As such, staff has consulted with the Public Works Department on their Capital Improvement Project Plan and has identified that the Commission can assist with integration of public art for the following projects as they come up over the next several years: - Dinah Shore Park (North Sphere) Palm Desert Visitor Center - North Sphere Fire Station — Lupine Plaza San Pablo Street Improvements Phase I and II As for the first four, staff will maintain communication with Public Works to ensure that the Commission is apprised of the schedule and ways that the Commission can get involved with integrating public art into the projects. With regard to the latter, staff is currently working with the Commission and Public Works on ideas for these projects and others as they come up. City staff plans to work on annual plans to coincide with the budget that will include funding to integrate public art into prioritized projects to include projected revenue stream base on development impact fees. Fiscal Analysis There is no fiscal impact associated with this request. LEGAL REVIEW N/A Robert W. Hargreaves City Attorney DEPT. REVIEW FINANCIAL REVIEW Mavfuti ALva.rez 2a.,,,et m. ?'%?ooze.
