BACKGROUND:
This Budget Resolution accompanies a resolution to accept the “Zebra Longwing” sculptural bench into the City’s Public Art Collection. The Pioneer Garden Club of Ocala will provide $200 a year for annual maintenance of the “Zebra Longwing” sculpture. This $200 annual contribution will be made over 10 years, for a total of $2,000.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The City’s Public Art Policy Statement and Guidelines require that ten years of maintenance costs be provided in coordination with the donation of public art. The estimated maintenance costs are provided upon request and collected as part of the acceptance of the donated piece. These funds must be available for the maintenance of the associated piece.
Staff recommends approval.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive $200 in annual revenue for 10 years, totaling $2,000, to offset maintenance costs for the sculptural bench “Zebra Longwing,” a public art piece donated by the Pioneer Garden Club. Funding will be deposited into the Designated Gifts for Art Maintenance revenue account (001-366-000-000-16-36639) and expended from the Reserve for Art Maintenance account 001-099-999-572-81-99870. The Cultural Arts staff will maintain records of all maintenance costs associated with this sculpture. Any funds not fully expended in any given year will be carried forward to the following year and will remain dedicated solely to the maintenance of this specific art piece.
