SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The McCall Redevelopment Agency has allocated $100,000 to commission a professional artist to plan,
design, fabricate and install public artwork within the existing east downtown urban renewal area. A Call
to Artists (Request for Qualifications) was issued and nine qualified Idaho artists responded. A volunteer
five-member Artist Selection Committee including Susan Farber (McCall Public Art Advisory Committee
member), Tabatha Martineau (McCall Redevelopment Agency board member), Nicki Dyson (Mt Java),
Dave Petty (Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee member), and Lisa Wood (Bella Kitchen) reviewed
the artist qualifications and unanimously recommended artist Amy Westover for the project.
The scope of work for the project as outlined within the Artwork Commission Agreement includes:
1. Identify and prioritize opportunities and locations for future public artworks within the District and
produce a report on potential sites; and
2. Develop not less than three (3) design proposals for the final artwork to be located on one or more
priority sites identified in the Public Art Siting Plan (#1 above). The proposals will be exhibited to
gain community input to inform final design approval by the McCall Redevelopment Agency; and
3. Upon approval of the final design and proposed locations(s), the Artist will fabricate and install the
artwork. Once the artwork is complete and has been inspected, ownership of the artwork will transfer
to the City of McCall for incorporation into the City’s public art collection.
The McCall Redevelopment Agency board will review the Artwork Commission Agreement at its July 21,
2020 meeting so staff will report to Council the outcome of that meeting on July 23, 2020. The Artwork
Commission Agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney. Both the agreement and submitted
qualifications from recommended artist Amy Westover are attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Artwork Commission Agreement by and between the McCall Redevelopment Agency, City
of McCall and Westover Artworks, LLC and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
