The proposed reolution authorizes the transfer of the $25,000 Percent for Art allocation for the Metro Transit Facility (Munis project #10950) to the Reindahl Imagination Center/Library project (Munis project #17085). This transfer would bring the total available Percent for Art allocation for the Reindahl Imagination Center/Library project to $111,704. The proposed resolution further authorizes City staff to release a call for artist submissions for a public art piece for the Reindahl Imagination Center/Library project and for the Madison Arts Commission (MAC) to select three finalists from the submissions. The finalists will receive an honorarium in the amount of $1,500 each to be paid from the Percent for Art allocation. No additional City appropriation required.
