Title
FY 2016-21 Public Art Plan Amendment
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture's fiscal year (FY) 2016-21 Public Art Project Plan, adding the Happy Valley Road/Interstate 17 (I-17) Interchange Improvement Project.
Report
Summary
The ordinance establishing the City's Percent for the Art Program was adopted in December 1986 and requires the Phoenix Arts and Culture Commission to submit an annual Public Art Project Plan in advance of each new fiscal year. The ordinance allows for one percent of funding from City Capital Improvement Program projects to be invested in public art, to enhance the design and experience of public infrastructure, buildings and spaces. The Public Art project Plan for FY 2016-21 was approved by Phoenix City Council on June 1, 2016. The $11,339,657 plan includes 51 public art projects. Adding the Happy Valley Road/I-17 Interchange Improvement project will increase the project total to 52, and enable the City to involve an artist with the project's Arizona Department of Transportation engineering team to enhance the design of the interchange.
Financial Impact
The proposed amendment would add $100,000 to the FY 2016-21 Public Art Project Plan, increasing the total budget from $11,339,657 to $11,439,657. Funds for this project come from the Street Transportation Department's Capital Improvement Program.
