• Operations Director Mike Morrow presented an interactive sculpture of a baseball
glove and baseball by artist, Ty Foose, for the Gardens Park baseball field area on Burns
Road.
• David Porter questioned if this particular piece of art is appropriate to be funded by the
Art Fund because he considers it a piece of playground equipment.
• Chair Bickford agreed with David Porter and stated the Board could discuss a location
with Operations Director Morrow and issue a call to artists to have a piece of art created for
the area.
• Discussion ensued. Board members agreed that the baseball glove sculpture is not a
project they would like to take on at this time.
MOTION
David Porter made a motion stating the art piece by artist Ty Foose is not unique enough
for the City of Palm Beach Gardens and that it not be funded through the Art Fund. Myra
Davis seconded. The motion passed unanimously, 7 -0.
Art on Private Property
• David Porter stated that one particular location in the City has a lot of art out front and
it is beginning to look cluttered. Discussion ensued regarding art in commercial settings
and how to go about legalizing an Ordinance restricting and determining the number of
pieces of art allowed.
• Staff Liaison Irwin stated there is an Ordinance requirement that there be no outside
sales. Staff Liaison Irwin explained how The Commons outside art evolved.
• Discussion ensued regarding the regulation of how much art is allowed at a site.
• Staff Liaison Irwin asked if David Porter is recommending that the AIPP Advisory
Board have final approval of any art that goes up in the City, whether it is the AIPP
Program or any accessory art or additional art not toward the Program. Currently the AIPP
Program has purview over the 1- percent developer fee, the art and the location. By
expanding the control, Staff Liaison Irwin stated she believes that additional placement of
art in the City would be discouraged. Discussion ensued.
• Staff Liaison Irwin stated the City Council approved eight or nine pieces from the
Rosetta Gallery to be installed on permanent pedestals at the Commons.
• Further discussion ensued regarding clutter, regulation and over - regulation.
• Mayor Jablin stated his concern regarding over - regulation, but encouraged the AIPP
Advisory Board to state their concerns if issues exist that are seen as problems. Mayor
Jablin agreed with Jennifer O'Brien that there should be an area around Ordinance
approved art pieces that is not obscured so they can be viewed.
• Mayor Jablin stated that the permanent pads with revolving art has not worked at
Downtown at the Gardens. He does believe that the art should be watched so that clutter
does not become an issue.
• David Porter suggested the AIPP Advisory Board be involved when permanent pads
are to be placed for art pieces.
• Chair Bickford suggested that with the loss of the present art at Downtown at the
Gardens, perhaps local artists can be notified that there is space available for pieces to be
shown. Mayor Jablin stated it is good idea and he will pass it on.
• Discussion ensued regarding art clutter at The Commons. Mayor Jablin stated he will
discuss the situation with the landlord.

Staff Liaison Kara Irwin stated there is a Development Order condition for The Commons
project that if there are no pieces to be installed, they must remove the pedestal and return
the area to the way it was before the original approval.
• Staff Liaison Irwin agreed that the space bubble is a good idea. Due to a recent "Lease"
sign being placed in front of an art piece, the sign code is being reviewed for both
permanent and temporary signage and the space is a good idea to prevent conflicts.
• David Porter suggested the "safe zone" be added at a future modification to the Art
Ordinance as well.
Bus_ Stogy
• Staff Liaison Irwin stated a package was assembled and distributed showing samples of
bus stops in other places and a map showing bus stop locations in the City.
• Planner Kathryn Wilson reviewed bus shelter art in other cities.
• David Porter suggested a design competition where an artist and architect would work
together.
• Discussion ensued about the choice of a bus shelter project or park project.
• Staff Liaison Irwin stated that if the City builds the bus shelters than the City must
maintain them. Staff Liaison Irwin was unsure of the budget that would provide the
maintenance funds and stated she would look into it. Insurance is also a consideration.
• Location constraints must be considered.
• David Porter requested staff provide the locations where enough land is available for a
bus shelter.
• Discussion ensued about bus shelters having the same theme, but not be identical; bus
shelters being totally different from each other and each bus shelter having a different
artist.
• Chair Bickford asked for a cost estimate for building a bus shelter.
• Mayor Jablin stated that the call to artists could include dimensions, criteria and cost
limitation.
• Staff Liaison Irwin stated the prefabricated bus stops built for Palm Tran cost
$2,500.00. They are built and maintained for free for the municipality. The company that
built and maintains them gets the proceeds generated by advertising in the bus shelter.
• Chair Bickford requested the call to artists include young artists as well as established
artists.
• David Porter suggested a request for proposal (RFP) for criteria that includes a building
permit, follow through construction, must meet Department of Transportation (DOT), Palm
Tran, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations.
• Discussion ensued regarding an artist and an architect working together.
• Chair Bickford, with Board member agreement, stated that due to the interest in the bus
shelters, the children's art would be set aside to be considered at a later date.
• David Porter suggested Staff Liaison Irwin provide pictures of the areas she surveys.
• An RFP for an art consultant for bus stops will be discussed at the January meeting.
• Staff Liaison Irwin announced a public workshop for Legends of the Gardens. An artist
or a piece have not yet been chosen and they are seeking direction from the AIPP Advisory
Board.
COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC
• None.
COMMENTS BY THE BOARD
Benches will be included in the bus stops.
