Consideration of the minutes of the June 2. 2022 meeting
Juli Seydell-Johnson moved that the minutes of the June 2, 2022 meeting be approved
as presented. Ron Knoche seconded. Motion passed 5-0.
Black Hawk Mini Park update
Ford invited Dawson Davenport to describe his concept for the plaque. Dawson began
by saying it has been an honor to do this project. Has done much research on Black
Hawk and Black Hawk Mini Park and his goal is to create a piece that which will stand
out and illustrate who Black Hawk was. Resilience and community are the main themes.
He talked about originally wanting to create a panel with facts about Black Hawk and
Black Hawk Mini Park, but there seemed to be too much to put on one panel without
crowding it. He thought a better way to honor Black Hawk would be with a poem that he
has written related to gardening and resiliency.
The image for the panel has elements in common with the original mural wall including
an illustration of Black Hawk, the layering of the sky and four black hawks soaring
above. He also depicts a traditional Sauki home, which he has used many times in his
works and considers it one of his hallmarks. On each side is a Sauki floral motif. He
talked about the colors of browns, yellows and oranges he will use for the layered sky.
Sauki means yellow and that is why the background is yellow. Dominic asked whether
the Black Hawk image will remain a line drawing and Dawson said it will include color.

Dawson has incorporated his indigenous name and its importance for the future. He
reiterated how much he has enjoyed the project. Dawson added that we would be
putting a QR code into the plaque that would lead to the history of Black Hawk and the
Black Hawk Mini Park.
Wendy talked about meeting with Anita with Dawson in June. They had discussed the
idea of having a sign manufacturer build the sign stand saving Dawson the time of both
the design and the building of the panel. Dawson's schedule has been packed as he is
a resident artist at Close PS1, is working with his indigenous communities and has an
out-of-state artist in residence coming up this fall. Dawson agreed that timewise, it
would help him to have us facilitate the manufacture of the base and the stand and he
could focus on the plaque.
Wendy said she spoke with ASI, a local sign producer, and only has an estimate of
around $3,000 for a steel stand and base into which an "izone" plaque would be
installed. (zone is a type of fiberglass with the image embedded in it. This would leave
$2,000 for the art. Anita said she thinks the price for the art and the fabrication should
be more equal and doesn't want to see the art undervalued.
Juli asked Dawson how integral the base design is with the piece as a whole. Dawson
said it does not have to be integral to make his design work. Dawson said going with a
more standard base is okay is okay with him, too. Anita wants to ensure that Dawson is
able to contribute to the design of the stand, even if ASI or another company makes it.
Andrea asked about the lifespan of the izone material as the photo samples shown
looked a little worn out. Both Juli and Ron thought this type of sign has about a 15 year
lifespan.
Next, Wendy talked about revising the draft contract, using $1667 as a first installment.
Anita asked what is fair and Dawson thought the $1667 is good for a start. Wendy
mentioned the August meeting will include budgeting and that we might consider adding
to the budget for this project once we know ASI's costs.
Wendy will revise and get a contract to Dawson.
Dominic moved that we approve the concept pending his additions of color and move
forward with the initial payment. Anita seconded. Motion passed 5-0.
Determine Sculptor Showcase alternative selections
Wendy reviewed the selections made last month and said that one of 8 selections,
Loom, was now not available. She suggested choosing a first and second alternate in
case one of the other ones can't go up. Andrea said we had already expressed
concerns about the piece Towards Equilibrium, because of the caveat that it should not
be touched and the distance it must travel to get here. Anita said to ensure it wasn't
touched we'd have to put up a barrier, and she advocated for River and Fault Plane as
first and second alternates. Juli Seydell-Johnson moved they be our first and seconded
PAAC 8.4.2022 packet
page 3
alternates, and that we place Chimera at Scott Park and that River go into Riverfront
Crossings Park. Anita seconded. Motion passed 5-0.
Consider RFQ for Artist Mentor for SDNA (South District Neighborhood
Association) Bench project
Ford outlined the Artist Mentor RFP and said that Elinor Levin (of the SDNA) had
reviewed and thought it was ready to go. Ford described the duties of the Mentor and
that they would be part of the selection process for the artist who would create the
bench. Noted in the draft RFP was a sentence about the costs for the concrete pad
having to be a part of this project. Because of the unknown costs of the pad, Ford
reached out to Transit who will have a program to make all bus stops ADA accessible in
the coming year/s, however, design for the pads isn't done, and funding is not available
at this point. She also talked to Ron Knoche who thought there may be a way to get this
pad designed and poured ahead of Transit's schedule especially given that installation
is planned for June of 2023. Anita expressed appreciation for the City's assistance in
that.
Andrea asked for some clarification of the wording about the emerging artist's
responsibilities. Juli thought we should also differentiate between regular expected
maintenance, and vandalism or unusual circumstances, like tornados. She said, for
example, if the joints or a part of the fabrication fails, that would be the responsibility of
the artist, but if it is vandalized, the City would take care of that maintenance.
Anita asked whether the compensation was enough and suggested we make it $2,000
(up from $1,500) since we now have the concrete pad paid for. If it were $2,000 and the
mentor was being paid $30/hr, then we could comfortably expect approximately 65
hours of mentorship throughout the project schedule. A possible breakdown of time,
could look like this:
10 public input
20 selecting appropriate materials
20 fabricating design
10 installing
5 instructing the artist on maintenance
65 total hours
Ron reminded the group it is still a lump sum contract and that whether they were long
or short on these hours, this is what they would be paid, but we could state our
expectation of about how much time we estimated the tasks to take.
Dominic moved that we increase compensation to $2,000 given that we no longer have
to budget for the pad, making the compensation for the emerging artist $10,000. Juli
seconded. Motion passed 5-0.
FY 23 Budget approach
PAAC 8.4.2022 packet
page 4
Wendy explained why she included some charts of past surveys (2018 and 2021) and
current standing of public art in Iowa City as food for thought as we approached
budgeting at the August meeting. While described as a bit of apples to oranges, the
charts serve as a reminder for a) what kind of public art people like, and b) where
people like to see public art. Answers to those questions could then be compared with
the status of what kind of art is where in the other charts shown. The goal is to help
indicate gaps in where art might be placed and/or what kinds of art the committee
should be considering.
She also spoke about how relatively small the budget is and how, with many small
projects, there is a lot of administrative time. A large grant or a small grant take the
same amount of time to administer. Andrea recalled that the former coordinator reported
spending 70 — 75% of her time on Public Art administrative work. There was then some
discussion on simplifying programs.
Dominic shared that he had found examples of programs that featured art on bus stop
shelter panels in other cities. Discussion ensued about how we might consider a project
such as the bus stop artwork being done in Des Moines which could be on -going and
fulfill a need for neighborhood art. Wendy will share the links Dominic had shared.
There was also discussion of creating a menu of potential projects (with design
standards for each) for which artists could sign up and co.
It was mentioned and there seemed to be consensus that we should stick with the 8
sculpture pads until the number of submissions increase.
Andrea asked about big projects — like Oracles, and that we should think about what a
big project might be. The budget for Oracles ended up at $42,000 plus $3800 in
interpretive wraps with further explanation of the messages.
Updates
Ron asked about the Oracles wraps and whether the committee was supposed to see
them. Wendy said they were reviewed by staff.
Regarding the new Kiwanis Park art bench, Juli said the concrete is poured, the metal
part is laser cut, and they are waiting to have it rolled to wrap around the bench.
Adjournment
Knoche moved, Dongilli seconded that the meeting be adjourned at 4:46 pm. Motion
passed.

AGREEMENTFOR
THE PUBLIC ART ARTWORK IN BLACK HAWK MINI PARK
BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF IOWA CITY AND
DAWSON DAVENPORT
THIS AGREEMENT is made on July 2022, between the City of Iowa
City, hereinafter referred to as the CITY, who is the owner of the Black Hawk Mini Park located
downtown at the intersection of Washington and Dubuque Streets, Iowa City, Iowa and Dawson
Davenport, hereinafter referred to as ARTIST. For the purposes of this agreement, the CITY'S
REPRESENTATIVE shall be Wendy Ford, the ARTWORK shall be an interpretive panel and the
COMMITTEE shall be the Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee.
WHEREAS, at their October 7, 2021 meeting, the COMMITTEE approved a budget of
$5,000 to be made available for the creation of the ARTWORK to be located in the Black Hawk
Mini Park to commemorate Black Hawk, for whom the park is named; and
WHEREAS, the COMMITTEE endorsed the Direct Selection of Dawson Davenport to
develop the concept for the ARTWORK given his expertise and ties to indigenous communities;
and
WHEREAS, at their July 7, 2022 meeting the COMMITTEE approved the concept created
by ARTIST and an initial payment of $1,667 for approval of the concept; and
WHEREAS, the COMMITTEE will approve the final design and manufacturing costs of the
ARTWORK at their August 4, 2022 meeting; and
WHEREAS, subsequent to the COMMITTEE's approval of the concept, CITY'S
REPRESENTATIVE and ARTIST have discussed the option of having a third -party sign company
rather than ARTIST fabricate the metal panel and incorporate it into a metal base for an estimated

WHEREAS, without an increase in the budget of $5,000, ARTIST will only be
compensated $1,667 should the sign company prepare the panel and base;
WHEREAS, the COMMITTEE may increase the budget for this project at their August 4,
2022 meeting; and
WHEREAS, the ARTIST agrees to create the ARTWORK in substantial compliance with
the details of the proposal reviewed and approved by the COMMITTEE as described in 1.1.b as

Past surveys and current status: food for thought
Iowa City Public Art Program

(the Strategic Planning Survey from 2018 with 541 responses, and the Potential Public Art Project
Survey from 2021 with 223 responses) with the current status of public art in Iowa City.
The first chart is from the 2018 Strategic Planning Survey that asked people what type of public art
they enjoy most:

Question: is the type of art people enjoy most being delivered by what the Public Art Program has
funded? Are there gaps?
While more categories existed in the questionnaire above, such as community events,
music/sound installation, pop-up and temporary, those are recategorized into a general events
category or performance in the Matching Grant chart below.
The following two charts show the current make up of Iowa City's public art collection and
projects funded through matching grants.
Note that sculpture totals 40 pieces but in the second chart, you will note that 4 of the 40 were
funded by matching grants. Similarly, murals total 12, and 10 of those were funded by our
matching grants program.

The charts below show where public art is located today and what kind of public art is there. In the second
chart, you will see how the concentration changes due to the impact of the Iowa City Downtown District's
Mural program and other privately funded art in public places.
