Following her presentation, the Board began discussing the newly revised Fort Collins Art in Public Places ordinance. Due to time constraints, the Board voted to hold a special meeting Wednesday October 20 at 5 PM at the Lincoln Center to discuss Art in Public Places. The following are details of Susan Ison's presentation: Loveland's Art in Public Places program followed the success of the High Plains Arts Council art shows. Their City Manager and Mayor took the lead and it passed City Council with one dissention. Works of art are juried through a Visual Arts Commission who serve for periods of three years. The commission can set up juries of 5-7 people to review individual projects. Most of their art donations come from the High Plains Arts Council. High Plains is then responsible for maintenance for three years then the City takes over. 86.5% of the collection is from donations. They have started to receive memorial donations. Loveland's collection is worth approximately 1.6 million dollars. They have 87 pieces of art inside public buildings and 63 pieces of art outside public buildings. Most of the time works of art are placed in the buildings which contributed the 1%. Utilities are included in the 1% ordinance. Their City Council appoints the visual arts commission and City Council doesn't approve works of art. Money is escrowed from the 1% for repair and maintenance. • VI.
