The planned sidewalk improvements on Roosevelt Avenue, funded through the Community Choices for Idaho grant, offer the City an opportunity to incorporate public art. Staff proposes the public art be located near the Alpine Playhouse, to highlight the cultural importance of that building and organization. The grant requires a 50-50 match. The City of McCall has $10,000 in the Public Art line in the Community Development budget that would be directed as local cash match for the project. Delta James, City Planner, and the Public Art Advisory Committee would be responsible for project implementation, and the City’s public art selection process would be used to solicit artists and final design for the project. It is expected the project would be completed by June, 2015.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve submission of a Public Art and Cultural Facilities grant for public art and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
