Minutes
Regular Board Meeting
October, 18 2007— 6:00 pm
Wylie Municipal Complex
Council Conference Room
2000 Highway 78 North
CALL TO ORDER
Announce the presence of a Quorum.
The meeting was called to order at 6:40 p.m. by Chairman Matthews. Those in attendance were:
Ashley Burt, Patsy Robertson, Kathy Welp, and Warner Washington. Board members Polly Harrison
and Kathy Spillyards were absent.
Staff present was Carole Ehrlich, Board Liaison/Secretary.
PAAB Chair Stewart Matthews asked to move to the approval of minutes to allow additional time for the
board members to arrive stating that he felt the discussion regarding master plans in other cities was
important and needed as many members as possible to be present. Consensus of the board was to
move to approval of minutes.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Discussion regarding other city's public art master plans research.
Board Chairman Matthews stated that the board had taken time to digest the information in a master
plan and research other cities with populations close to Wylie to find out how they approached a master
plan or whether they used alternative procedures for implementing their public arts programs. He asked
members present if they had had the opportunity to call other cities and obtain comments regarding
master plans. Board member Robertson reported that she had not had the opportunity to contact other
cities but did review the sampling of master plans that was included in the September packets. She
reported that she would like to see a master plan or some type of procedures put in place that allowed
for the home town feel of the public art plan. She also liked the idea of forming art selection panels
from citizens, art specialists, design specialists, project managers/design architects, and key staff for
each project. She stated that she liked that diversity. Board member Welp stated that she liked the
smaller sampling from Hickory, North Carolina as well. She believed the larger, more complex master
plans were more than the City of Wylie needed at this time and were cost restrictive.
BUSINESS ITEMS
1. Consider and act upon approval of the minutes from the September 20, 2007 Public
Arts Advisory Board Meeting.
Board Action
A motion was made by Kathy Welp, seconded by Patsy Robertson to approve the September 20, 2007
minutes as presented. A vote was taken and passed 5-0 with board members Spillyards and Harrison
absent.
2. Consider and act upon setting the meeting dates for November and December of 2007.
Board Action
A motion was made by board member Robertson, seconded by board member Welp to leave the
November meeting on the third Thursday, November 15, 2007 and change the December meeting to
Thursday, December 13, 2007 due to the holidays. A vote was taken and passed 5-0 with board
members Spillyards and Harrison absent.
Tabled from September 25, 2007
Board Action
A motion was made by board member Burt, seconded by board member Washington to remove Item
#3 from the table and consider. A vote was taken and passed 5-0 with board members Spillyards and
Harrison absent.
3. (MOTION TO REMOVE FROM TABLE) Consider, and act upon authorizing the staff
liaison and purchasing agenda to prepare a Request for Qualifications to create a
Public Art Master Plan pursuant to Ordinance No. 2006-37, Section 14 (i); for board
consideration and/or approval.
Staff Comments
Board liaison Ehrlich reported that the PAAB tabled this item on September 20, 2007 to allow further time to
review master plan examples from other cites and to contact cities with a population close to the City of Wylie to
determine how they provided a master plan or policies and procedures for their Public Arts Programs which was
discussed under"Discussion Items" tonight. Staff liaison Ehrlich reported that she had checked the ordinance and
reviewed with the City Attorney regarding whether the City was required to compile a master plan at this time. She
was told that the board could either compile a master plan or compile policies and procedures for such items as
art selection panels, selection of artist for city projects, temporary art exhibits, temporary placement of art and
other items the board felt were important to the administrative processes of the board and City Council in the
procurement of art. She explained that if this process was used in lieu of a master plan, these procedures and
policies could be implemented into a master plan at some future date if that was the desire of the board.
Board Discussion
Board Chair Matthews stated that in his opinion, the board needed to determine what was important to the board
and City, in regard to the administration of art procurement over the next couple of years; and does it require a full
master plan. He asked the board to consider the cost differential between using a consultant to put administrative
procedures in place versus a master plan. Board member Burt stated that a master plan, at this stage, may lock
the board in to particular projects.
Staff liaison Ehrlich reported she had been in contact with two art consultants, one that works closely with the City
of Keller and the other that was recommended by the City's design architect. She reported that after speaking
October 18,2007 Wylie Public Arts Advisory Board Special Called Meeting Agenda Page 2 of 3
with them, they both agreed to quote a cost to assist the board in designing policies and procedures for art
procurement that fit the desires of the board and included those items that the board felt were important at this
point. Board Chair Matthews reported he had researched the City of Tulsa and found that in addition to art
purchased by the city, there were many plazas and art pieces donated and placed by banks and other
companies. He reported a bank plaza that was beautiful with sculptures and water features that was partnered
with a local bank. He commented that the city also reached out to colleges and schools to display art at no cost to
the city. He noted that the college or learning institution was then invested in that city. He suggested that a portion
of the administrative policies include donated art and temporary art. Board member Welp asked if the procedures
could incorporate temporary art such as a festivals or happenings within the City; opposed to just stationary art.
Can we incorporate the festivals with WEDC to bring people into the City which would benefit economic
development and work hand in hand with the program; perhaps in the historical downtown area? Staff Liaison
Ehrlich reported that the festivals were programs that the City of Keller sponsored each year which through the art
consultant were brought to the City from many artists and mediums of art. There was some cost to the city in the
set up and disassembling the art, and the art consultant but was nominal in cost when compared to the benefit of
those coming into town to view the art. Board member Welp commented that she believed a master plan would
be a long process and administrative policies and procedures would give the City"more bang for the buck". Board
members Robertson and Burt concurred that this might be a less expensive process and meet the needs of the
board and City.
Board Action
A motion was made by board member Welp, seconded by board member Burt to take no action
regarding authorization to staff to prepare a request for qualifications to create a Public Art Master Plan.
Direction to staff, in lieu of a master plan was to contact consultants to obtain quotes for the cost to
assist the board in creating a Wylie Public Arts Policies and Procedures for the Administration of Art
and to report back to the board once scheduled. A vote was taken and passed 5-0 with board members
Spillyards and Harrison absent.
ADJOURNMENT
Board Action
A motion was made by board member Washington, seconded by board member Welp to adjourn the
meeting at 8:39 p.m. A vote was taken and passed 5-0 with board members Spillyards and Harrison
absent. The next board meeting will be on November 15, 2007.

Discussion
During the October 18, 2007 PAAB meeting discussion, the board directed staff to contact two art consultants
and requested a proposal of costs to provide information to create the public arts policies and procedures for
the administration of public art; in lieu of a master plan. Staff representative Ehrlich contacted two consultants;
Pat Bodnyk, who has worked with the City of Keller for several years and Sharon Leeber, President of
Architectural Arts.
Pat Bodnyk sent a proposal for consulting to create the requested document but later declined the offer to
submit the proposal. This correspondence is attached.
Sharon Leeber has also submitted a quote to create the policies and procedures for the administration of
public art and has suggested that in the mission statement and vision for the City, interviews be conducted with
City Council, PAAB members, staff and a few business merchants. This is to gather information from City
Council, PAAB members, and staff to determine the visions and processes to be included in the document.
The interviews with citizens and merchants would be to gather information about the City and spirit of Wylie.
Staff would then compile the draft document to be reviewed by Ms. Leeber, PAAB and City Council for
subsequent final approval of the document.

Carole Ehrlich, TRMC, CMC
City Secretary, City of Wylie
2000 Hwy. 78 North
Wylie, Texas 75098
Dear Carole and Honorable City Council Members;
I am apologizing ahead if I have held you up in this process. While my assistant Lou, and
our artist guest/intern from Dusseldorf have been a great help, it has not been a substitute
for seeing and subsequently being able to translate exactly the necessary meanings to
paper.
As I have gone over the response needed documents and attachments to respond to your
request I have several observations:
First, you are using an 81 page document from the City Of Allen that is primarily words and
such detail directions/minutia that it doesn't leave a lot of room for future creativity and
expansion within a great project that might come along.
Second, following our rather extensive conversations, I think you realize that I am quite
qualified to do this project. I have done a lot of work like this and while I have to admit
that vs. choosing and installing the art, it is the more "tedious"- but necessary part of the
city's art plan. I have done both well.
Third, the proposal that you are asking for reveals an immense of amount of proprietary
information that I am normally paid for as part of the proposal. I am sure you realize that
intellectual property is, in part, how I make my living.
With that said, I will answer some of these questions and would like to offer some other
advice for proceeding on this project.
On the resume and bio, I have not gone into an explanation of some of the public projects.
All would eventually lead to public art projects but the initial goal in some aspects of what I
have done was to find out if and how, art was really needed and wanted.
The planning department and public works of the City of Fort Worth and the FPA Foundation
hired me to participate in an intense 3 day conference which included an architect, planner,
landscape architect, urban design specialist and a marketing specialist. We were from
Oregon, NY, Texas, Denver and California. The purpose of this was to prepare a conceptual
redevelopment plan for Six Points Village (the convergence of Universtiy Drive, Camp Bowie
Blvd. West Seventh Street, Bailey Avenue, and again West Seventh Street and University
Drive, these surrounding a roundabout that would possibly feature a water sculpture at the
center). The purpose of this was to access the needs of area merchants, pedestrians,
institutions (3 art museums and the Cowgirl Museum) and vehicles, to see if art could be
used to help solve the problem. This was led by Peter Arendt, who was the project director
for the Fort Worth Modern Museum under Tadao Andoe. Our findings went into a report
that was further used to develop the West Seventh/University Village Study that also
included a master plan for art, urban design, economic development and land use.
Prior to the development of Phoenix's Public Art program, I was hired to do a project that
was a prototype for public art using a basis of 1 1/2 %. Because this was the first project
and we wanted to make it fairly public, we did a competition utilizing as much free press
and advertising as we could get, and using a sponsor to help pay for other office support
projects. I then chose a small jury of 3 people, each well known in their field (museum
director, curator, and NY gallery director), who came down for the price of a weekend's
hotel and airfare.
Two years ago, HCA, The Woman's Hospital in Houston hired me to help them fulfill their
public art needs. They were leasing a triangle of land from the city of Houston that had
been a public fountain in disrepair and hoped to use their due percent for art to help place
something that would symbolize what they did. I gathered artists for an initial presentation,
the president and CFO reviewed them with me, we narrowed it to two, asked for maquettes,
immediately narrowed it to one and after refining the maquette and the landscape
architecture plans for the area, it was presented to the parks and recreation department.
Following this to the public arts program and it passed with 100% approval all the way
around. This was partially because throughout the process, I was aware of what was
needed for the area, and I made sure that the director of both public works and the public
art program was aware of each step we were taking. This helped them feel good about the
progress and in the loop as the project became a reality.
I have also been a revitalization consultant to several cities (Wichita, KS and Oak Park, II)
both with specific needs that pertain to urban planning, public use, and of course, the
possibility of incorporating art, or art activities.
And finally, I was retained by both Colorado and Wyoming to help them single out ways to
market their states for more recognition in the arts.
One thing that you have not covered in any of your documents, and most public plans miss,
is insurance; that is something that needs to be included. Most cities put it in with general
city insurance but there are instances when this should not happen.
Thank you for your time, and I am sorry I will miss the meeting. I cannot drive for another
few weeks, which is probably wise since I am just beginning to regain vision in the left eye.
Sincerely,
Sharon Corgan Leeber
Questions: with some answers
Creation of the City of Wylie Public Art Program
This can be as simple as saying a program is hereby established to include works of art in
public spaces throughout the city, or to incorporate the design services of an artist/artists in
some of the capital improvement projects. (CIP). Then you can add something like; the city
recognized the enhancement and economic gain from having public art, or not. Simple,
fast. Says what you want.
Vision - examples
Mission - examples
Goals - examples
Again, this primarily is to create an improved visual environment for the citizens of Wylie.
Second to integrate the work of artists into the development of new public buildings and
public works projects. Do you want to promote tourism? Do you want to promote
industry? What is it your city wants to promote?? This should be in your plan for the city
and can be stated here or not, depending on whether art really can help that goal.
There are a lot of smaller goals that can be stated in sub-areas, but perhaps not in the
executive summary.
The vision for the PUBLIC ART PROGRAM should be short and to the point. I assume there
is already an urban plan for the city with a rather expansive vision plan. This should not
duplicate it.
Basically, it is to make Wylie a better place in which to live and do business. That really
doesn't need a mission. those are really excess and just make a bigger document. Those,
too, are probably in your master plan for the city, which doesn't need re-writing.
Definitions
Review and determine which are appropriate for our process
You need a plan to put the above in place. I shall refer to it as THE PLAN.
What I would refer to as Definitions should be just that, taking a few of the words that need
explanation and defining them so there is no confusion.
Building on Community Strengths
Include examples of mission statements to give the board a starting point.
If you have an urban plan, use it. If your mission is to just improve new buildings, start
there, if your mission is to improve a district, the downtown area, start there, but frankly it
is easier not to get yourself into making the statement for a specific thing. MUCH BETTER
to say that an ANNUAL program will be developed by the public art committee to submit to
the city council annually for approval.
Accountable and Responsive to the Community
Creation of the City Art Program should refer to Ordinance No. 2006-37
This is a dangerous area. The accountability should be well-handled by the process of
choosing the public art committee and the approval process that follows that. That is the
accountability process. The responsiveness to the community will come as smaller areas
have projects and the smaller sub-communities can then be involved in different ways
(expand). Initially, there will be large projects to deal with and these will go through the
initial approval and scrutiny that will not happen later in the process.
Roles and Responsibilities
Reference Ordinance- City Secretary is the Board Liaison staff member
Revise players to include City Council, Public Arts Advisory Board, Artist Selection panels,
City Manager, Board Staff Liaison
I am not sure how this fits. If you want to know how all of this works and the chain of
events it is quite direct and simple but there again, I don't want to take any more of my
time to go through this now, as it is a lengthy but easy process to describe and carry out.
You do not want many people on your initial committee. It will be overwhelming and
nothing will ever get done, at best it will always be a compromise.
Sources and Use of Funds
Reference Ordinance
Review capital improvement projects as soon as possible. Consider raising the percentage in
the future. Exploration into grants for specific projects should be researched on an annual
basis.
Each year 10% of the budget should immediately be put into an interest-bearing account for
the next few years. This will be eventually be used for restoration and repair in the future
on public art pieces.
The balance should be transferred to another interest account to be used during the year for
projects as determined by the CIP's that were earlier identified and budgeted.
Annual Public Art Work Plan
Ordinance Section 14(b)
See building on community strengths as a beginning, this would be greatly expanded.
Artist Selection
This can take on all forms. As you become more practiced with this endeavor and your
funds are larger and, most importantly, you have a long lead, you can be very creative and
use marketing talent as well as art talent to approach this.
Again, an easy process, but very detailed and varied. Local, regional or national? How do
you decide? A call for art? Chose a dozen artists? Quietly zoom in on a few artists you
know could do a great job and meet the budget, too? These and another one hundred
questions need answering. This is the place to establish what will be done. It is important
to have it on paper.
What about the unknown artists? Can they do the job? What about the engineering
problems, and the longevity, and and and. These can all be answered.
Project Implementation
This is best not left to the artist!!! This should be left to an experienced paid person, either
the consultant, who should have a lot of practice at installing major exterior sculpture, or a
director of public works, parks and recreation (who works WITH and arts specialist) or some
combination of the above.
Public Art Contracts
Again, somewhat standard with a bit of a change for certain situations. You should have a
few standard ones for your city.
Gifts or Loans of Artwork
Reference Donation Ordinance attached
This needs to be completely spelled out. Easy to do if you have had experience with this.. It
can be complicated when it involves friends so best have it very clear and on paper in the
beginning.
Gifts or Loans of Artwork
Exactly the same as above
Collection Management
In the beginning it can be hired by an outsider. But spelled out GENERALLY. Not many
details needed as it will change
Touching All Parts of the Community
Revise to be general in nature with examples of wording to be used; to include general
areas and use the criteria or examples of other criteria used to assess the priority of
projects. These will depend in great part to the 1% CIP funding and project timeframes.
Partnering to Enliven the Arts
Include with suggestions of how to best partner and promote art in the community.
This is also a marketing venture and can/ should be very creative. There should be money
budgeted for this.
Developing the Public Art Plan
Use the Ordinances to show the implementation of the plan.
Next Steps
Suggestions regarding the first steps with the plan from this point forward. We have the
board in place and the ordinance.
With a budget and several projects in hand, that should be easy.
Acknowledgements
Is this portion necessary?
As long as it is just the principal people involved, it is important.
Consider all areas from beginning of document through page 25 for inclusion. In addition
examples of:
Community Programs
Public Information - somewhere in the document
Involving Wylie Independent School District (WISD) Schools
Promote Festivals bi-annually or annually
Permanent area within a public place to exhibit rotation of temporary art
Include that final approval of all rotation or temporary exhibits are at the
discretion/approval of the board.
Carole,
I have given you a half a days worth of ideas here that should allow you to see a little more
clearly that in my opinion this document doesn't need to be too wordy or mystifying. The
most popular program is one that is straightforward and to the point so that the general
public can understand what is happening. If allowed to have all of the legalese dropped
from it, all of the ordinances dropped, and simply state the Grand Areas, with all of the
important points, goals, priorities, along with the appropriate way to inaugurate and
complete these (when appropriate) it should take a week to complete a document like this
in it's rough state*. I will quote you a 5 day work week, although I will personally probably
spend a few more days on it. That would include talking to the city council, the mayor, a
few merchants, and the liaisons that I would be working directly with.
The document could then be put into a better form by someone from your clerical staff who
is familiar with publisher or something similar, or even just a word document. We would
then check it, and have it printed and bound for distribution to the city council for review.
That is where a lot of money will be saved. If I do it, I would have to add another two days
and I am sure you have city staff that can do it much more efficiently.
*If the interviews with the city council can be kept to one thorough meeting devoted
entirely to the public art process with another follow up partially devoted to the draft and it
does not get tied up in individual needs this process will go well and I will be able to keep to
a schedule. The time with the merchants and a few citizens is easy as those questions and
observations are not really about"art" but rather just about the town and spirit of Wylie.
Please call me if you have questions. Thank you for this opportunity.
Sharon

Hi Carole,
I just faxed four pages to you and that includes the cover sheet.
I put together a proposal with comments about what you have generated so far and my costs however the board
sees that need.
Also included is my resume/bio tailored for your information and three references. All from the city of Keller
program I worked on most recently.
I was not clear on what you needed specifically from me regarding the categories in the document you sent
regarding defining those categories. Did you want an actual example of a mission statement or just costs for
generating that material?
Is the city looking for an advisor/consultant or for an art expert to generate and help develop programs?
Whatever it is-you already have a very exciting program in it's early stages. You are doing everything right so far.
What is the communitys' response to public arts? In favor of, some for, some against or not aware of its impact
yet?
Very exciting times in Wylie!
Thanks for your art ...work....

Art Consultant Proposal: City of Wylie November 5, 2007
Creation of the City of Wylie Public Art Program Pat Rodnyk
As an art consultant for your city working with the beginning aspects of your Public
Arts Program these are my comments and cost proposals:
You have a terrific start-with all of the documents I have reviewed from Carole it
appears the ground work has been well established and with the use of your
comprehensive outline in conjunction with your ordinances you have a sound beginning.
What you need from me as an art consultant:
First, I will visit your community,study what characterizes Wylie as a community.
Second,take a look at your physical sites for possible municipal art placement.
Third,calculate the type of art programs that would compliment your citizens.
These steps are essential before beginning any vision and mission and goals statements
that will build an exciting public art program tailored specifically to the citizens and
businesses in the community of Wylie, Texas.
All of the categories you have listed in the"Creation of the City of Wylie Public An
Program"will be addressed-as you direct-with my input to help advise final choices.
With references to your city ordinances we can easily build a solid art program with what
you have already outlined and what I can add with my perspective on the arts.
I have a unique work experience to bring to this process since I am an artist,have worked
with all levels of artists and worked within the confines of a city government and with
citizenry boards. I like to begin the first meeting with an art board by introducing the
terminology and processes of art. I feel we all need to sound knowledgeable about the
subject of art especially bronze sculpture. Once you have a background in what large
bronze sculpture entails it makes the process of municipal art choices,placement and
particularly costs understandable.That basic knowledge will give confidence in the
decision making processes as the road to a public arts program is paved.
My costs will be based on four contingencies:
. Advising at an initial meeting with the art board.
-this would be simply giving my advice and answering questions at a meeting
Hourly fee: $35 plus travel
2. Generating documents,policies,facilitating programs and recommendations.
-this would entail researching,generating documents, making recommendations
(about art placement,artist's selection procedures,etc.)
Hourly tee: S50
3. Facilitating an entire arts program including: municipal arts selection process and
placement,generating document categories complying with ordinances,
creating art programs
-essentially working with the board on your entire arts program, I would
recommend a contract agreement fee for this type of commitment contingent on
time frame and tasks the board decides it will need.
4. Travel
