Implement the Recommendations of the Public Art Master Plan Chapter 8 of the Public Art Master Plan recommends the following programs, prac ces and administra ve tasks that should be explored and implemented as deemed appropriate: • Adopt a town policy that public art is expected to be considered for all capital construction processes. As proj- ects are approved, public art will be commissioned, fund- ed, and implemented as an integrated part of approved capital planning projects. • Prepare site design standards for public art in private development and the public realm. • Consider developing a public-art-in-private-development ordinance that would provide incentives for developers to incorporate public art. • Adopt a formal Town policy on public art that acknowledges the role of public art in capital projects, in- cluding transportation projects, public works, and parks and open space development. 2 • Prepare a work agenda for community educational programs on public art. • Develop partnerships with corporations, businesses and arts organizations for sponsorships, programs, grants and pooled resources. • Include the Public Art Master Plan as a chapter of the future Cary Community Plan. This new plan will encompass existing plans and integrate public art into the framework throughout the plan. • Develop a master plan for public art in the Town Center district, working jointly with the Downtown Develop- ment Manager. 78 COUNCIL FINAL PUBLIC MEETING DRAFT [JAN. 24, 2017]
