Kat,

I am attaching our ordinance. We have a 2% art enrichment allocation from CIPs, which funds art, administration and maintenance. It allows us to set aside 10% for maintenance/conservation, but also allows under certain circumstances, for the entire amount generated by a CIP to be allocated to conservation.  The attached version of our ordinance is the latest modification, which increased the set aside from 5%.  The City’s original, 1969 version had no set aside for conservation.  BTW, you should note that if the funding is from general obligation funds, you cannot use those funds for maintenance, but conservation is allowable.

Hello Public Art Colleagues,

 

Nice to e-meet you all! My name is Kat and I am fairly new to managing Salt Lake City’s public art program. I am hoping you all can help me with a few questions on developing a maintenance fund and finding other revenue funds.

 

Salt Lake City is exploring a percent for art ordinance revision with an increase from 1% to 1.5% with the .5% being deposited into a maintenance account. Has anyone made this increase in recent years and can you provide any guidance or advice? If depositing a percentage into a maintenance fund, what are the restrictions with using the funds?

 

We are also exploring what it might look like to charge enterprise entities a fee for using the City’s public art process. Does anyone have experience with developing this fee and in your experience was this a beneficial or problematic to charge a fee?

 

Any insight on either question would be much appreciated!

 

With gratitude,

Kat
