The City Council shall consider the recommendation of the Commission and either approve or refuse to approve the recommended work(s) of art. Should the Council refuse to approve the work(s) of art, then the Commission shall consider and recommend another work(s) of art to the City Council. Should the City Council approve the work(s) of art, then the administration shall proceed to contract with the appropriate artist or artists to obtain the work(s) of art. The contract with the artist or artists will be administered by the City staff.

F. Maintenance, inspection and rotation of works of art selected and installed under the advice and direction of the Renton Municipal Arts Commission shall be the responsibility of the administration of the City. The Commission may develop a conservation policy from which it may prepare specifications for a maintenance plan for the City’s works of art. The artwork maintenance shall be performed by the City’s Facilities Division. The Commission shall inspect such maintenance work and make recommendations for the guidance of the administration in so maintaining the works of art.

G.  The Commission shall seek, whenever appropriate, alternative sources of financing for the visual and/or performing arts.

H.  The Commission shall be responsible for disbursing money budgeted to it for support of cultural arts performances, arts-related activities and organizations. Such money shall be used to support specific performances such as choral concerts or play performances, performing arts events such as the River Days Art Show, or special projects of a performing arts group such as coaches and music tutors for the Renton Youth Symphony. Such funds may not be used for capital purchases, facility renovations, maintenance or other non-performance expenditures. Any such funded performance must be held in Renton and primarily benefit Renton residents. (Ord. 5155, 9-26-05; Ord. 5365, 3-24-08)

The amount that is transferred to the one percent (1%) for art fund, based on the project’s budget cost that is used for planning purposes, shall be adjusted up or down from that amount, based on the actual total project cost after it has been completed. In the event any law, rule or regulation establishing a source of funds for a particular project, including but not limited to grants, loans, or assistance from Federal, State or other governmental units, prohibits, limits or excludes art and art works as a proper expenditure, then the amount of funds from such source shall be excluded in computing the one percent (1%) amount of the total project cost.

B.  All funds authorized and/or appropriated pursuant to this Section shall be maintained in the one percent (1%) for arts fund. The City Council, upon the recommendation and advice of the Commission, shall approve, from time to time, the amount to be allocated for the selection, acquisition and/or installation of individual works of art to be placed either as an integral part of the municipal construction project in connection with which the funds were appropriated or attached thereto, or detached within or outside such project, or to be placed in, on or about other public facilities. All of such expenditures for art shall be approved by the City Council and as otherwise provided by law.

C.  Funds authorized and/or appropriated pursuant to this Section for a municipal construction project but not expended on any such project shall be placed and retained in the one percent (1%) for arts reserve fund. If for any reason any transfer to such fund shall be contrary to law or prohibited by any rule or regulation governing such funds, then any such unspent or residual sum authorized and/or appropriated as a part of such construction project may be expended for any like or similar public purpose or purposes relating to the selection, acquisition and/or installation of works of art.
