Swayze stated that she is pro for having a set process and having updated online information. There were suggestions given to modify approval process and Megan stated that Common Council has not approved changes in the past. Swayze asked what does Megan need from CLC and she stated the following: Needs approval from CLC to try this submission and approval process with timeline or give suggestions of changes to the proposal. Vote taken – McClinsey made motion to approve Public Art Submission and Approval Process as submitted by Megan and Hagood 2nd motion - all were in favor. Scriber stated that CLC should go forward with this approval and see what happens; this can always be re-visited in the future if something isn’t working, etc. Public Art Submission and Approval Process Subcommittee: Rusty Keeler volunteered to be the CLC member on this subcommittee. Keeler will reach out to Megan to get this subcommittee together before next meeting. Megan gave update on the prior application for mural “Women in Nature” that was presented to CLC; CLC had questions for artist before recommendation could be given. Megan advised she emailed the artist and has not yet heard back. Public Art Presentation: Annemarie Zwack gave a presentation regarding public art in Ithaca. Pictures of artwork and her presentation were emailed to members prior to meeting. She stated that there is a wealth of public art that should be stewarded, continued growing and be sustainable. Dr Nia Nunn – President of the Board of Directors of Southside and is also a professor at IC. She welcomed CLC members to come visit and tour Southside. Pictures were shown of recent mosaic art project she has been involved with, which was fund by Novo Foundation Grant, it consisted of 5th-8th grade girls and IC students. She talked to CLC about when she says “honor specificity” then everyone then say “unapologetically” and asked members to repeat this several times during her discussion. Jasmine Jay also spoke regarding her involvement with public art and how much it meant to her -- collective pride. Annemarie had emailed application packet late today with photos of mosaic panel project that they hope to have Board of Public Works approval. She has received an estimate from Accufab for the frame needed to hang these mosaic panels and is looking at funding from city for this. Megan would like approval from CLC to send out postcards to all neighbors within 20 feet of proposed panel location – Hagood made motion for Meghan to send postcards and Keeler 2nd motion – all in favor. Megan will have any public comments at next meeting. Annemarie asked about maintenance of public art and would like to see photos of who made art work, titles, materials and why made? She advised that they are working on an interactive website with Tompkins County Tourism. She would love to see Community Life Commission October 15, 2018 3 community built artwork in areas like Black Diamond Trail, Taughannock Falls, etc., as well as other locations. She would like to have web interface of themed public art with commerce of local artists on there as well. She showed members pics of some community art projects. Katy Fontana - Tompkins County Library – Librarian – MakerSpace – laser cutting – offer programs for teens – one on one sessions and have drop-in program hours – they are looking for collaboration ideas – Groups/people can use space there or they have volunteers to do art work – MakerSpace is in the back of Library by the BorgWarner Room – appointment only hours now. Robyn Wishna – ReUse Center – creative reuse – starting a program for creative reuse projects – one meeting so far and hope to have programs started in 2019 – making materials available for this as well Questions/Comments: They would like to see interactive map which would be through county and City percent for art ordinance – 2019 budget there is currently no line for art and would need to have specific proposal; how much $, and anyone can write a suggestion to Council and ask Council person to bring up during budget talk – line item for 2019 budget? Would CLC make a percent for art ordinance – 2003 Public Art Plan was passed, but has not been implemented – Plan Ithaca in 2015 is separate – can this plan be updated? Speak to council members about Public Art Plan. Percent for Art Ordinance directly to council not CLC – should we encourage Phase 2 of City plan to implement this plan – what is Phase 2, need more information. Phase 2 Plans by Megan for future meeting. Swayze – what is next step? – Need additional information regarding what exists already? Advocacy Flag Flying Policy – What are our CLC recommendations? Ask City Attorney to look over policy and then a Resolution created, then to City Administration Committee. Document to be sent to Fleming – clearer sense of what should be done. Half-Staff Flag Policy – Dan Cogan , Steve Nann and Julie Holcolm all gave information regarding current policies, etc., Fleming to clarify with Dan Cogan what is wanted/needed and if this goes to City Attorney next. Scriber – Would like to have more information about who we contact how we make decisions, we don’t know what process is or what we can or cannot recommend, would like more guidance. Swayze to follow up with Tierra regarding this Rusty – Child-Friendly Ithaca Resolution (Free Range Kid Legislation) Will continue to work on with GIAC and IYB – What are we going to do to make city more child friendly - worked with Mayor to make proclamation at City Council meeting on 11/7th – Just play project getting together and have series of meetings and conversations set up – first step of awareness to get community discussing this. 11/29 - 6-7:30 community meeting/public meeting at GIAC in gymnasium - food and childcare provided.

Community Life Commission October 15, 2018 4 Adjourned 7:58 p.m. Next Meeting: Monday, November 19, 2018-- Flag Flying Policy, Public Art Subcommittee and Child Friendly/Free Range Kid Resolution on agenda Adjournment: On a motion, the meeting was adjourned at 7:58 p.m. Respectfully Submitted by, Jody Hallett-Harris, Executive Assistant TO: Community Life Commission FROM: Megan Wilson, Senior Planner DATE: August 20, 2018 RE: Proposed Change to City Mural Program Approval Process At previous meetings, the Commission and staff have discussed that there are several areas for improvement within the City’s current process for approving mural proposals. Staff has reviewed the process and identified “problem areas” that cause significant delay in the timeline or undue work for staff. Based on this information, the Planning Division would like to propose the following changes to the mural approval process1: 1. Establish two deadlines for mural applications that would allow for final approvals to be in place in early April and early August. 2. Create a subcommittee of Commissioners and advisors that will conduct initial review of proposals, suggested locations, etc. and will approve proposals to be distributed for public comment. 3. After circulating, bring complete proposals with proposed location and all public comment to the full Commission for its review and recommendation to Common Council. By implementing these changes, the new process will reduce an artist’s timeline for an approval by up to two months without eliminating any review steps or opportunities for public comment. In addition, it would concentrate staff responsibilities to two set cycles, allowing more focus on public art during those times. Lastly, the Commission would be in a better position to specify a theme/focus area for proposals or a desired location for murals for each of 1 Due to their limited number, proposals for other forms of public art (sculpture, performance, etc.) would still be accepted on a rolling basis.
