Agenda Memo
November 13, 2012 Special City Council Meeting
V. PUBLIC ART POLICIES PRESENTATION BY THE DAKOTA CENTER FOR THE
ARTS BOARD.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
To provide feedback and direction regarding the Public Art Policies presented by the Dakota Center
for the Arts Board.
FACTS:
The City of Eagan currently has a policy in place that addresses public art and memorial
installations in City of Eagan Parks and City owned spaces.
In April 2012 the Arts Board contacted the City Council by letter to consider the inclusion of
public art in any new commercial development projects.
At their May 1 listening session the Council requested that the board research and provide
information concerning art policies that currently exist in other cities.
Kathy Thompson and Wanda Borman, representing the Dakota Center for the Arts Board will
provide the results of that research as well as an overview of options that the City Council may
wish to consider as they continue their review of this request.
