ACTION ITEMS a) Application for Public Art on Private Development at Dania Beach Apts., located at 600 East Dania Beach Boulevard Planning Art Consultant Linda Flynn presented the Dania Beach Apartments Concept Design and said that the owner representative, Alfredo Volante, was in attendance. He said that the “Dania Beach Apartments” name would be changed to “Elevate Apartments” and explained how the art would be visible to the public. Commissioner Davis inquired as to the type of maintenance needed for the sculpture and Linda Flynn explained that this original design sculpture would be made of Corten-Steel not requiring much maintenance. Ms. Flynn went over the criteria for both the artist and the selection. Mr. Volante answered Commissioner Davis that the timeframe, start to finish, if the Board approved this would be approximately three months for production. Chair Sharaby wanted to know if the artwork was on a stand or platform in the courtyard. Mr. Volante explained he was not sure at the moment. Board Member Granett wanted to know why that piece of art was chosen and he said he was not involved in that decision. Board Member Holmes inquired about vandalism and Mr. Volante answered that the property had insurance/liability that could cover any type of damage. Community Development Director Norena reminded that there were maintenance regulations and Code would address the issue, e.g., graffiti. Board Member Holmes felt that this piece aligned Public Art Advisory Board Meeting Minutes 2 March 20, 2023 with the artist and was beautiful. As there were no other questions/comments, the Chair called for a motion. Motion was made by Board Member Kent to recommend approval to the City Commission of the public art application for 600 East Dania Beach Boulevard and was seconded by Board Member Aptakin. Motion passed 6-0. Community Development Director Norena explained that this item was anticipated to be on the April 25, 2023 City Commission Agenda. She advised Mr. Volante that he should be there and that they needed better color renderings of the sculpture and of the proposal by April 14th to show the Commission. She reminded everyone about the process for public art on private development as written in the code. She further explained about trying to streamline this process so that it did not have to keep going back to the Commission. b) Call to Artist for west wall of the City Hall Parking Garage Planning Art Consultant Linda Flynn said that, per the discussion at the last meeting, she contacted the Dello Hotel to speak with the general manager for a public or private partnership. For the City Hall Parking Garage wall. Her contact was on vacation so she spoke with the Sales Department who said that a meeting for possible future partnership opportunities would be set up for when the general manager, Darvis Alvarez, returned. Community Development Director Norena explained to the Board that they could wait until this conversation took place or proceed with the Call to Artist without the public/private partnership opportunity meeting. The Board Members were asked for comments/discussion. Board Member Aptakin would like to wait and maybe have a bigger piece with perhaps both sides. Board Member Kent wanted to move forward with the call without meeting with the hotel. Board Member Holmes and Board Member Granett were fine either way. Board Member Goradesky wanted to know what would happen if we waited and Ms. Flynn explained what would transpire and cause the call to be in the fall. Community Development Director Norena suggested delaying now for maybe one month for the potential of a partnership with the hotel. Chair Sharaby felt it was better potential to wait. Commissioner Davis suggested waiting as it would provide more options with a public partner but it was up to the Board. Ms. Flynn was asked for her opinion and felt either way was fine. This location was next to the hotel and for the hotel that would be more appealing for a partnership. After discussing what the Board wanted to do and making motions that died for lack of a second, the following transpired. Motion was made by Board Member Granett to continue this agenda item to the April 17, 2023 Meeting and was seconded by Board Member Kent. Motion passed 6-0. IV. ADMINISTRATOR UPDATES a) Soleste City Line Public Art on Private Development located at 10 North Federal Highway. Community Development Director Norena gave an update on this development. She explained that after the Public Art Advisory Board was established and had the Consultant but prior to the Board Members being in place, the City started to draft guidelines, master plans, etc. Soleste City Line Public Art, formerly Trion, was eager to get their public art approved. They already started constructing and putting their money into the public art fund. They submitted their application based on what was drafted at that time which Ms. Flynn and Ms. Norena both read. Their application was accepted by the Department and she wanted to be transparent with the Board by letting them know tonight that this happened before the Board was in place. They issued the TCO about two weeks ago and they went before the Commission to reimburse the funding. Public Art Advisory Board Meeting Minutes 3 March 20, 2023 Planning Art Consultant Flynn reported that we have a Public Art Platform which would contain all of the information regarding each piece of art. We have three pieces now in this archive and each of the three pieces and all future pieces would be in the archive with all its information. There would be training on this for City Staff. Board Member Aptakin was asked to speak about a conference being held March 29th through March 31st targeting public art agencies and public art artists to encourage public art distribution. He explained that CODAworx was a membership group (approximately 40,000 members) that consisted of public artists, park agencies, fabricators, businesses associated with public art, etc. Ms. Flynn said that she would be attending the CODAworx summit NFT at the Madd Art Gallery through her company and would bring back more information for the Board.
