Agenda Text
The Board is requested to receive an update from Durham County Engineering and Environmental Services Project Management Division regarding the proposed Durham County Public Art Policy and proposed Durham County Public Art Program documents.
In November 2018, Commissioners directed Staff to investigate the possibility of a joint Public Art Policy/Program with the City of Durham. Draft Public Art Policy and Public Art Program documents have been developed based upon discussions between City and County Staff. Commissioners were introduced to the draft documents and given an overview of their creation process and content during regular monthly one-on-one meetings with the Manager. This update will provide the opportunity for in-depth group discussion now that Commissioners have read the documents, for asking any additional questions, and for proposing next steps for consideration.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This update is in accordance with Strategic Goal #5 - Accountable, Efficient and Visionary Government.
Resource Persons: Jay Gibson, P.E., General Manager, Peri Manns, ASLA, LEED GA, Deputy Director of Engineering and Environmental Services, and Linda Salguero, AIA, CPD, Project Manager.
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the Board receive the update and provide direction if appropriate.
