Hi Julia, thanks for those insights. Better streamlining the process online makes a lot of sense and is what we are working towards. I’m compiling the data for different approaches and our office will be meeting on this in a few weeks
to discuss next steps. Thanks very much for the suggestions. Best, Donald

Hi Donald--even though I don't work for the city, I find I spend a lot of time advising community members on how to legally install the public art they want to see in their neighborhood and helping them navigate city bureaucracy and permit
processes. I've put together a couple of "cheat sheets" that I can send that outlines the basics, and I will make calls to hook them up to individual BNS staffers I know can assist them more specifically. Yes, it's time-consuming, and yes, it takes time away,
but it's part of our mission and we don't charge for our advice. In your situation you might find a way to streamline the process by working with the permit offices and creating either a guide for community members, or an expedited system just for public
art within the city that you can point them to easily.

Dear PAAN allies,
We are finding that our small city division, and the public art program specifically, gets a fair number of requests for work (permits, license agreements, etc.) for people that want to install temporary artwork on city property. These “small” requests are correctly routed to our office (usually from a City Council Member office where the request started) because they involve installation of public art. But, they are often projects that are not funded by or originated by the City. As an office of arts and culture, we want to support these efforts from our local community, and we have the knowledge necessary to have them correctly pass through required contractual, insurance, and permitting requirements. However, given the staff time it takes to manage and process these requests (taking time away from paid projects) we are considering a fee structure similar to what other city departments have for processing external city permits and license agreements.
Could other city Administrators please comment or weigh in on how your city handles and processes these types of projects or requests for temporary installation of artwork on city property? Do you charge a fee to draft a license agreement or process a permit?
Your insights are greatly appreciated.
Best,
Donald
