Subject: Revenue for Public Art in Hopkins
Background and Goals
The City of Hopkins continues to explore ways to fund community arts in Hopkins. This
. effort is a consequence of the development by the City of the Hopkins Center for the
Arts. The City may address a number of potential goals in this effort:
. Beautifying public property and public spaces in Hopkins;
. Fostering arts activities in the community;
. Encouraging grants and private donations to the arts in Hopkins;
. Paying off remaining debt from the construction of the Hopkins Center for the Arts.
Possible Revenue Sources
Many cities and states across the country have created and funded public arts
programs. Over 25 states including Minnesota have passed laws calling for a certain
percentage of capital spending on state projects to be allocated for public art. The City
of Cambridge, Massachusetts, was one of the first cities in the U. S. to pass a "Percent
for Art" ordinance in 1978. Today nearly 100 American cities have public art programs.
Most of these programs are funded in large part by a commitment of city capital
spending to arts projects and programs (typically 1 % to 2% of capital budgets). In
. some cases, private donations or fees and taxes levied on private companies comprise
a significant revenue source for public arts.
. 1
The City of Hopkins has begun to look at the following possible revenue sources for .
public arts projects and activities in the community:
. Percent for Art: allocation of city capital spending for the arts;
. City charter amendment to allow use of parkland dedication fees for the arts;
. Tax on new construction. The City of Los Angeles and others have levied taxes on
new development to raise funds for public arts (often non-residential development
only). Special state legislation is required for such a city tax in Minnesota.
Percent for Art
State and local governments that spend a percentage of their capital budgets to public
art typically devote 0.5% to 2.5% for that purpose. The percentage for public art is
usually added to budgets for new or remodeled buildings, but not to budgets for land or
equipment. In Minnesota, state law Chap. 168.35 calls for budgets for any state
building to include up to one percent for art in that building. The artwork is to be
exhibited. in areas of the bUilding or grounds that are regularly accessible to the public.
Spending for public art under this law may not include landscaping.
The following table shows percentages for public art in major cities around the U.S.

Phoenix, which passed a percent for art ordinance in 1986, created a public art master
plan that divided the city into a number of "urban design systems" and public art
"working zones." Phoenix has completed approximately 45 public art projects since
1989, ranging from a memorial to city employees who have lost their lives in the line of
duty, to a large, playground sculpture in the form of a well-known toy.

. In San Antonio, the municipal percent for art is supplemented by a hotel/motel tax and
state and federal funds.
Albuquerque's public art program receives funding from many sources, including One
Percent for Art, revenue bonds, state legislative appropriations, a special arts trust fund
and numerous organizations, businesses and individuals.
In Broward County, Florida (Fort Lauderdale), the commitment for public art is 2% of
total eligible construction costs for capital improvements such as buildings, and 1 % of
total eligible construction costs for highway and arterial road projects. These funds are
supplemented by automobile license plate fees through an innovative state program.
The State of Florida offers a vanity license plate for the arts; a portion of the fee for the
plate goes to the resident's community for public art. For every arts vanity plate sold in
Broward County, $20 is returned to the Broward cultural affairs office for public arts
programming.
Parkland Dedication
The Hopkins city attorney has indicated that the City Council could, through an
amendment to its ordinance, devote parkland dedication fee revenues to public art
including specifically the Hopkins Center for the Arts. This is a local policy issue;
existing law gives the City Council the authority to make this decision.
. Tax on New Construction: Los Angeles
In 1989, the City of Los Angeles adopted a percent for art program and enacted a tax
on new, private construction, called the arts development fee. The fee applies to any
private, non-residential construction over $500,000. It may be satisfied either through a
cash payment equal to, or an arts project costing no more than, one percent of the
valuation of the construction project. Certain construction projects are exempt from the
arts fee, such as fire sprinkler instalfation, earthquake protection and handicapped
access work. The in-kind methods of satisfying the arts fee requirement can be quite
varied. They can include functional elements such as grates, lights and benches that
are originally designed by, an artist for unique or limited editions.
Los Angeles requires developers to pay the arts development fee or obtain a waiver
from its cultural affairs department before the City will issue a building permit. A
developer who opts to satisfy the arts fee requirement by developing an art project or
program must sign an agreement with the City in order to obtain a waiver. The
agreement includes financial security binding the developer to pay the cost of the art
project. The City appears to be very flexible in the kinds of arts projects it will accept as
in-kind satisfaction of the arts fee requirement.
Funds raised via the arts development fee are placed in a special account, and may
only be expended with the approval of the Los Angeles City Council. The City is
committed to using the funds in accordance with its cultural master plan and guidelines
established by city code.

Tax on New Construction: Hopkins
As noted above, any tax on new construction or arts development fee in Hopkins would
require special authorizing legislation from the Minnesota Legislature.
Based on past levels of commercial/industrial construction in Hopkins, a one percent
tax on non-residential construction would generate $50,000 to $100,000 per year.
Certain construction projects or project costs would likely be exempt, such as:
. Projects with a permitted valuation of a certain dollar amount or less;
. Projects that do not alter the size or occupancy load of the building;
. Fire sprinkler installation;
. Flood-proofing;
. Project costs that bring a building into compliance with handicapped accessibi lity
laws and codes.
The tax would be implemented via a building permit surcharge. To allow for in-kind art
projects to satisfy the required tax, the City would have to create policies and .
procedures governing that process. Authority to spend funds generated by the arts tax
would rest with the City Council. The Council would likely create or empower an
advisory board to form recommendations about how to spend funds received. One of
the City's goals is to pay the remaining debt on the Hopkins Center for the Arts, which
is approximately $150,000. The City would wish to ensure that funds generated by the
art tax could be spent on debt retirement for the arts center.
Outline of Speciallegisration
J. Authorization. The law would authorize the City of Hopkins to impose by
ordinance a tax of a certain percent on the permitted valuation of new, private,
non-residenta! construction.
II. Disposition of proceeds. The law would state that all funds raised by the tax
would have to be spent for public art projects and programs, Allowable
expenditures would include payment of the remaining debt on the Hopkins
Center for the Arts.
III. Public hearinQ. The law might stipulate certain public hearing requirements for
the City.
IV. ReportinQ reQuirements. The law might require the City to report on collections
and other details of the new tax to the Minnesota commissioner of revenue.

. 5. Opportunities
1. Background
In 1989, the City of Los Angeles adopted a series oflandmark ordinances
marking a significant commitment to citywide development of the arts. The.
ordinances required that a 1 % proportion of the value of new construction over
$500,000 be allocated to support and develop the arts. The Public Arts Division
of the Cultural Affairs Department was established to oversee these code
requirements which are embodied in the two programs outlined below.
2. Percent for Art
a) The Public Percent for Art progam (officially referrend to as the Public
Works Improvrnent Arts Program) requires that one percent of all City capital
improvement project monies be allocated for art. This obligation most often
results in a commission of artist-designed elements for a building project, due to
the expenditure restrictions of particular funding sources.
. For further information on the Public Percent for Art, click here.
b) The Private Percent for Art program, (officially referred to as the Arts
Development Fee) applies to any private, non-residential construction over
http://www.culturela.orgldept/public_art/pubart.htm 2/17/00
Public Art Page 2 of2
$500,000 and may be satisfied through either a cash payment or a project or
program that is equal to no more than one percent of the dollar valuation of the .
project. Any funds collected for this obligation are placed in a specially
designated account that can only be expended through approval of the City
Council.

a bout us
For over a decade, the City of Austin Art in Public Places program has
made it possible for talented artists of local and national renown to
enhance public spaces throughout the city with works of art ranging from
outdoor sculptures and murals to functional works integrated into
architecture. Artists have successfully incorporated traditions, objects, and
physical marks of community members to create cultural landmarks that
have become cornerstones of community identity.
The City of Austin was the first municipality in Texas to make a
commitment to include works of art in construction projects when it
established the Art in Public Places program in 1985. By ordinance, 1 % of
budgets are allocated to commission or purchase art for public sites such
as the airport, convention center, libraries, parks, police stations, and
recreation centers. .
The Austin Arts Commission provides oversight and appoints a seven-
memberArt in Public Places Panel composed of respected focal visual
arts and design professionals to make program recommendations. The Art
in Public Places Panel and staff work closely with project architects and
. city department and community representatives to ensure that the Art in
Public Places Collection includes high quality works of art that represent
the broad range of media, styles, and cultural sensibilities that contribute
to Austin's distinctive ambiance. See and experience Art in Public Places
for yourself!

Public Art: The Five Most Frequently Asked Ouestions
(FAOs)
South Florida Cultural Consortium 2000
Public Art & Design
The Broward County Public Art and Design Program allocates
two percent (2%) for commissioned artists to provide design
expertise, and to create artworks within a broad range of
. capital improvement projects. The purpose of the program is to
contribute to the enhancement of urban design through the
creation of commissioned works of art that create a sense of
place, that improve the visual environment for the citizens of
Broward County and that advance the missions of the County
. departments where the projects reside. Commissioned artworks
are the result of a dynamic interaction between selected artists
and interested constituent groups during the design stages of
the projects.
The Broward County Art in Public Places Program was
established in 1978 for the purpose of enhancing the County's
heritage and promoting a greater understanding and awareness
of the visual arts. During 1994-1995, the Broward Cultural
Affairs Division initiated an in-depth community planning
process to assess the program and make revisions. The result
was the passage ofa two percent public art ordinance, new
guidelines, and a more broad-based artist selection process. All
of this is documented in the master plan entitled Design
Broward, published in October 1995.
Reflecting a new focus and direction which shifts the
emphasis away from the traditional model of placing
paintings and sculptures in public spaces and towards a
program that concentrates on enhancing urban design
through aesthetic amenities, the program emerged with a
new name---the Broward County Public Art and Design
Program. Artists are now commissioned at the early design
. stages of a project so that they may effectively collaborate with
the architect as a member of the project design team. Artists
are encouraged to reach out to the community in the early
http://www.co.broward.fl.us/cuiOO500.htrn 3/16/00
Pubfic Art & Design Page 2 of2
phases of the design process to ensure that the resulting
artworks and aesthetic amenities respond to community needs .
and perceptions. '
The Public Art and Design Committee which oversees the
operation of the program recommends appointment of seven
specialized Artist Selection Panels by the Broward Cultural
Affairs Council. The selection process, which includes
community and agency representatives, is intended to promote
excellence while ensuring fairness, diversity, and sensitivity to
the specific needs of constituent groups.

Public Art Program
In 1986, Phoenix adopted a Percent for Art Ordinance, which allocates up to 1 percent of the city's
Capital Improvement Program for public art projects. In 1988, a public art master plan was created,
. which divided the city into a series oft'urban design systems" and public art "working zones."
The public art program has become internationally recognized for its unique and innovative use of
artists on design teams for large projects such as civic buildings, freeways and bridges. Artists also
have been commissioned to create site-specific neighborhood landmarks, sculptures, video artworks
and murals. Commission staff coordinate projects with artists, city departments, neighborhood
organizations, architects and engineers.
The commission maintains a slide registry, which includes more the 1,000 local, national and
international artists. Artists are selected for public art commissions through the slide registry or .
through an open competition process.
Approximately 44 public art projects have been completed since 1989. Examples of some of the
projects include:
. Dreamy Draw Pedestrian Bridge - 1995. Squaw Peak Parkway at Dreamy Draw.
The artist, Vicki Scuri, working with the engineering firm of T. Y. Lin, has designed this 311-
foot pedestrian bridge and urban gateway. The bridge design references the area's mountain
environment and cultural heritage with special color and geometric patterning in its concrete and
metal structures.
. Public Employee Memorial- 1994. Phoenix City Hall. Second Avenue and Monroe Street.
The artist, Otto Regan, has created an nine-foot by two-foqt thick semi-circular stone wall. This
. rough hewn wall encloses a space that is 50-feet in diameter. Two flagstone-covered walkways
slowly descend into the memorial so that by the time the visitor is completely in the memorial,
he or she will be almost three feet below the average grade of the surrounding plaza. The 60-
