Redevelopment Agency Art Policy
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY OF SALT LAKE CITY ADOPTING AN ART POLICY
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City
(the “Board”) desires to formalize a policy with respect to the Redevelopment Agency of
Salt Lake City’s (“RDA’s”) art policy.
WHEREAS, the RDA was created to transact the business and exercise the powers
provided for in the Utah Community Reinvestment Agency Act (the “Act”).
WHEREAS, the Act grants the RDA powers to sell, convey, grant, gift, or otherwise
dispose of any interest in real property; provide for project area development; and receive
and use agency funds.
WHEREAS, the RDA integrates art in public spaces and private developments to
encourage, promote, or provide development or redevelopment for the purpose of
implementing RDA project area plans and Salt Lake City master plans.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF SALT LAKE CITY, as follows:
1. Purpose. The purpose of the RDA art policy is to integrate art in public spaces and
private developments within RDA project areas that improve and add to the
experience and value of the built environment. The art shall be located in or visible
from the public realm, typically without paying an admission. Types of art may be
temporary or permanent and may include sculpture, murals, memorials, integrated
architectural or landscape architectural art, digital new media, among other types of
art. The purposes and types of art is pursuant to requirements in the Act and shall
encourage, promote, or provide development or redevelopment for the purpose of
implementing a project area plan. Art shall enrich the site and promote City, and/or
neighborhood identity or initiatives and raise awareness of history, identity,
cultures, or geography.
2. Tools. The following tools shall be used to implement and incentivize art.
a. Art Requirement
i.Public infrastructure projects: Public infrastructure projects are
defined as public improvements that will be owned and maintained
long term by Salt Lake City Corporation. 1.5% of the public
infrastructure project’s total cost (planning, design, construction)
shall go towards art as part of the project.
ii.RDA dispositions: When the RDA disposes of RDA-owned
property as defined by the RDA Real Disposition Policy, up to 1.5%
of the hard costs shall go towards either the installation of art onsite
2020-5565
or the contribution to the art fund.
b.Art Incentive
i. Public Benefit Incentive: A .5% interest rate reduction on an RDA
loan may be provided to a borrower if 1.5% of the RDA contribution
goes towards either the installation of art onsite or the contribution
to the art fund.
c.Annual Art Allocation
i.Budget allocation: The RDA Board of Directors may allocate funds
from the program income fund (“PIF”) to contribute to the art fund.
3. Options. By using one of the RDA tools listed above, art could either be installed
onsite or monies could be contributed to the art fund.
a.Installation of art onsite. The installation of art onsite shall follow one of the
implementation processes listed in Section 4 depending on whether it is
public art or publicly-visible art.
b. Contribution to RDA art fund. This policy would create a holding account
for the art fund within the RDA’s PIF that will be used to collect
contributions. Once funds are deposited into the art fund holding account,
RDA shall seek to use the proceeds, subject to the budget appropriation
process, to further the goals and objectives of improving project areas
through art.
4.Art Implementation Review. The review options below lay out whether the RDA or
the Salt Lake City Arts Council (“Arts Council”) will lead the project.
a.Public Art. Public art is art primarily located within an RDA project area or
on an RDA-funded project on property that is both publicly-owned and
publicly-used and includes, but is not limited to, art within a public rights of
way.
i.Arts Council Review Process. Any art determined to be public art
shall follow the Arts Council public art process that is subject to
review by the Art Design Board.
ii.Ownership. Public art shall be owned and maintained by Salt Lake
City Corporation. In a collaborative project with other public
agencies, ownership and maintenance may be another public entity.
iii.Fees. The RDA shall provide, from the art fund, a one-time
contribution to the Arts Council of up to 15% of the project art costs
for administration and up to 15% of the project art costs for
maintenance of each public art project.
b.Publicly-Visible Art. Publicly-visible art is art located within an RDA
project area or on an RDA-funded project on property that may be
privately- or publicly-owned but will be privately-used. This may include
RDA-owned property that is developed and/or leased by a private or
nonprofit entity.
i.RDA Review Process. Any art determined to be publicly-visible art
shall follow the RDA art review process that is subject to review by
the RDA Art Review Committee.
ii.Ownership. Publicly-visible art shall be owned and maintained by
the private property owner and/or user owner of the improvements.
In the scenario where RDA is leasing the land, art shall be
maintained by the lessee.
