DISCUSSION
The Arts and Culture Advisory Commission received a $3,000 grant from PG&E Corporation. At the March 14, 2019 Arts and Culture Advisory Commission meeting, Commissioners discussed using the grant funds to maintain art at the G Street Underpass and the lettering at Bob Hart Square. Commissioners directed staff to bring back a cost estimate for both projects.
The Commission has $2,148 remaining from the PG&E Grant. The cost to fix the tiles on the G Street Underpass is estimated to be $4,000. The Commission would have to come up with other funding sources to cover the cost of the repair. The Commission could hold a fundraiser or ask the artist of the art piece for a donation to repair the tiles.
