integral part of the artwork;
Frames, mats, pedestals and other objects necessary for the proper
presentation and installation of the artwork;

•Review administrative expenses to ensure they were reasonably
assessed to implement this program and that they do not exceed five
percent of the total funds in the account on July 1 of any year or
$25,000 in any fiscal year.
If fees collected are not committed for the aforementioned uses, they are
returned to the contributor. Staff analyzed APP fund revenues and
expenditures, and no reimbursements are due to contributors. There were no
administrative costs. During 2018/19, APP funds were used to purchase art
pieces, paint art wall murals, install, maintain, or preserve art pieces, and
inventory artwork as detailed in Attachment 1. All capital projects were
reported in the prior fiscal year.
ALTERNATIVES
