Mural policy The mural policy was reviewed. It was recommended to take out the information under Signs about signs not specifically permitted. Under Mural, the information should be updated to include the phrase "includes no profanity or images that could incite violence or civil discourse." Throughout the document, the phrase "aesthetically pleasing" should be replaced with "meeting the scope of the project" or "enhancing the exterior of the building." The committee also discussed the use of the mural form and this policy. It was the consensus of the group that if a project is up for less than one year, it would fall under the temporary art project section of the plan (which has not been drafted). With this clarification, a mural would then be up for a minimum of one year and the length based on the estimated length of the installation on the application. It was also recommended to clarify what happens if the mural changes. The committee agreed that a Z new sketch would need to be approved by the committee and would be an addendum to the application Z that was already approved. The committee felt that a 60-day approval process would be needed based a on current meeting times. Maintenance was also discussed and should be added to the Owner a, Application that the building owner commits to maintaining the mural, especially if it is damaged or N vandalized. The section of what the Public Art Committee will do was also addressed. The committee would like the application to detail that there are two options: the building owner can choose an artist, or the committee can perform a call to artists and have a screening with a defined rubric with the building owner a part of that process. If a call to artists is going to be performed, then part of the application needs to include that on the application. The committee will review a draft and requested a copy of the past drafted policies. b. Florida Association of Public Art Professionals Association (FAPAP) Meeting Mr. Melleky provided the committee with information from one of the sessions at the FAPAP meeting that discussed temporary art installations. Orange County has 5 concrete slabs outside of their building that are used for a one-year installation of sculptures.
