This meeting was for the purpose of discussing with Mr. Jerry Allen ways am9 means of expanding the Art in Public Places Committee involvement in the community. Ideas and suggestions that were presented by Mr. Allen were as follows: 1. Find an artist to be a part of the process and not just an art program. This will take some work to find the right artist/designer to work with Staff and developers. 2. Allow the construction of a project to include the attist in order to have access to additional money to produce the art projects. The artist is included in the complete project. 3. In order to get the small as well as large developer to work with the artist, put an artist on retainer by the City. He then becomes an additional resource. 4. There are several artist in the Los Angeles area especially who aze qualifiedl to do this. A list of names and addresses would be sent by Mr. Allen.

In addition, the Committee discussed the Committee's list of priorities as well as art acquisitions the City had made to date.

Also, the possibility of having an artist on the Design Review Board. Committee members discussed with Mr. Allen the Civic Center art work that was being proposed. Mr. Allen suggested that the Committee determine before hand what roll they would play in the selection of the art work to be incorporated into the art piece. He further suggested APP12-3 1 Art in Public Places December 3, 1992 that the Committee be awaze of the type of form to be used to tie the tiles together. 'They would want to be use they did not have a grid look. In addition, he suggested a walkway leading up to the piece be incorporated into the area where the art work would be placed. The Committee should oversee the design composition and articulate any concerns early on. Mr. Allen suggested that the Committee set up subcommittees to make selections thus allowing more people to be involved and giving the Committee a buffer between themselves and the Council. The Committee should not be responsible for the taste of the art work. They are not the curators. The subcommittee would eliminate the need for the Committee to defend the decisions of the art work chosen. The Committee should be the first level of appeal for art work that becomes contentious. This subcommittee should consist of a member of the Committee, an artist consultant, a local citizen, the developer and/or the azchitect. Committee members discussed with Mr. Allen the selection procedure for selecting an artist. Mr. Allen would send a list of artists for the Committee to contact as well as sample contracts.
