<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr Obie, that the bill be read the <br />second time by council .bill number only, with unanimous consent <br />of the council, and that enactment be considered at this time. <br />Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Council Bill 2249 was read the second time by council bill number only. <br /> <br />Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, that the bill be approved <br />and given final passage. Roll call vote; all councilors present <br />voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18756. <br /> <br />C. Consideration of Councilor Schue's Proposal to Draft a Resolution <br />Endorsing the Acquisition of Artworks for Major City Building Con- <br />struction Projects (memo distributed) <br /> <br />Mr. Gleason said Ms. Schue would introduce this topic. <br /> <br />Ms. Schue said that this was a proposal suggested to her by City art groups. <br />Having art in City buildings is something the City has done. It is part of the <br />construction budget of the Performing Arts Center. However, it has always been <br />on an ad hoc basis; there has never been a City policy. A number of jurisdic- <br />tions have established a permanent policy. She would like to draft a resolution <br />that would establish the policy for Eugene. <br /> <br />Ms. Wooten asked when one would know if the resolution covers a certain project. <br />Ms. Schue said that this needs to be determined. Mr. Lindberg wondered if one <br />percent would be allocated for each project or if they could move the funds <br />around and have some buildings get three percent and others none. <br /> <br />Public hearing was opened. <br /> <br />Karen Johnson" Lane Regional Arts Council, said that they have been involved <br />with public art, most notably in the murals at 5th Street Public Market and <br />several paintings for the West University Neighborhood, 13th and Willamette, and <br />11th and Pearl. They are in favor of a percent of the construction cost being <br />designated for art for public buildings. In doing research she ascertained that <br />a percent designation for art has been instituted throughout America for the <br />following reasons: 1) Cities and counties have found that these programs add a <br />new dimension to the public environment, and 2) it helps to foster culture and <br />the arts. In 1975, Oregon was the third state to establish a percent for art <br />programs at the one percent level for new construction and major renovations <br />over $100,000. In 1979, 15 states and 34 counties had similar programs. She <br />encouraged council's endorsement. <br /> <br />David Bayles, 85060 Spencer Hollow Road, urged that they accept a percentage <br />designation for art. He put this discussion in an economic development context. <br />He pointed out the economic benefits to the City of crafts people. The highly <br />successful stores that started from the crafts movement indicates that there are <br />people making a living in arts and crafts. The support of the arts community <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br /> <br />January 28, 1981 <br /> <br />Page 9 <br />
