I request that this communique be made a part of the public meeting record and minutes for the upcoming meeting. I've attached the pertinent Ordinance for Consent Agenda Item C and highlighted the most important section in yellow. For those of you that campaigned for office under the banner of the terrible horrors of "blading and grading" along with its videos, I'd like to point out the section of this dealing with the numbers of acres reduced for development, i.e. what was originally entitled being reduced from 250 acres to 131. Along with this also came 600 acres of permanent open space and the very trails that are part of the upcoming meeting agenda. 1 Perhaps there was some misunderstanding of what was approved by the pervious Council or perhaps misrepresented as part of election rhetoric. In any case, I think this is worth noting this for its true value to the community. Regards 2 ORDINANCE NO.

Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy 2018-2023 Date: March 15, 2019 This memo is a response to and opin0) ion of certain areas included in the Economic Strategy. ! refer you to Page 5,, "excessive ordinances""* page 11,, last paragraph; page 8 "Fee Waivers/Reductions". t submit to you that these assertions, action stems, etc. do not reflect the importance of Public Art in the daily fives and culture of Oro Valley. Further, I submit that there are ample examples where large developments that included 1% Public Art have not only been proven to be a positive factor, but motivated the management to expand the appreciation of Public Arts. 1, When Ventana Medical proposed their Headquarters in Oro Valley, some of us were able to meet with dr. Tom Grogan, founder to discuss the 1%. He embraced the program and carried it to a higher level by establishing a Corporate Art Gallery to encourage young artists to exhibit and also have showings of prominent artists. Z. The Oro Valley Hospital spent 432,,800 dollars complying with the 1%. It received awards from Industry Groups as well as a prominent recognition by the Metropolitan Pima Alliance, a prestigious Non Profit that supports Business Development Projects that effect the community in a positive way. It is part of what they call "Common Ground Award" given at a popular yearly banquet. The Hospital management continues their enthusiasm for the Art. There are other examples, such as the (conic Sun Dial on Innovation Drive,, that started out as a $104,000 project, but soon got the developer enthused and exceeded his requirement to around $125,000. It is natural that Developers would balk at first learning of the 1%. I believe negotiation and willingness to conclude a plan that includes Art is possible in every instance. Public Art is The Soul of Our Town and will always be something to be proud of. have included a few historic attachments for your review. By the time of this reading, you should have in your possession a green copy of the "Excellence By Design," book containing an example of the first ten years projects. If not, can get you ane. in conclusion, I ask the Council to recognize the important NOWWW"W" value of Public Art to the community and to reject the anti public art sections of the proposal. I leave you with this thought: Esto perpetua --- Let it be perpetual Dick Eggerding \,LEY tk E0 �Ojl June 251, 1997 Honorable Mayor and Council Town of Oro Valley 1 1 ('% f) f'I N T T , f" A - r\ V V V 14. 11 CL L.RIICtLLCL LAI V v Oro Valley, AZ 85737 Dear Mayor and Council: TOWN OF ORO VALLEY 11000 N. LA CANADA DRIVE ORO VALLEY, ARIZONA 85737 Administrative Offices (520) 297-2591 Fax (520) 297-0428 As the Chair of the Arts Advisory Board, I am writing to begin implementation of a General Plan action item related to funding for public art. The plan recognizes public art as a key element of our community's cultural resources. Table 4.10.5-1, as unanimously adopted by the Town Council, calls for the adoption and implementation of a Percent for Public Art Ordinance. The members of the Arts Advisory Board believe that the ordinance dealing with funding for arts tied to public projects should become part of the Town Code. Provisions for public art within private commercial and office projects should also be accommodated within the Zoning Code. We understand that these changes may be handled as part of amendments related to the development review process. We recommend that the Council initiate amendments to the Town Code allocating 1% of the cost of all public projects to provide funding for public art related to public projects. We further recommend that the Council direct the Planning and Zoning Commission to initiate amendments to the Zoning Code to provide a similar allocation for public art in private commercial developments. The General Plan calls for this action item to be complete within one to three years of adoption. We are now approaching one year past adoption of the plan. If we are to adopt and implement these provisions within the prescribed timeframe, it is imperative that work begin as soon as possible. This is particularly true as we approach development of the parks system.
