ITEM No. 4 – RECOMMENDATION – PAAC 1% for Art Policy
Presenter: Richard Rudnicki
Richard Rudnicki presented the updated Public Art & Artifacts Committee Policy which
would establish a 1% for Art Program at MSU. This program stipulates the conditions
under which any project greater than $150,000 will contribute 1% of their budget to
University art/artifacts. The contribution to art is capped at $250,000 per project.
Contributions will be placed in the Art Fund, and 15% of the fund will be allocated
for maintenance.
Beyond the review process with UFPB, other university groups and constituents will
review the proposed 1% for Art policy. If approved by the University Facilities Planning
Board, the policy will advance to University Council for consideration. The University
Council vote on this proposal will determine if it becomes MSU policy.
Committee members expressed concern about the impact of this policy on their budget
and discussed reservations with the project budget threshold that triggers the 1%
for Art policy. Committee members requested assurance that this policy will be discussed
further with other MSU constituents such as Auxiliary Services, the MSU Alumni Foundation
and the MSU Budget Committee as well as others listed in the presentation. By group
consensus, UFPB would like to revisit this recommendation at a future meeting to allow
time for further discussion amongst stakeholders after initial meetings with identified
stakeholders (listed above) have occurred.
Royce Smith motioned to table this motion and to bring the policy for discussion with
stakeholders. Brett Gunnink seconded the motion.
ITEM No. 5 – RECOMMENDATION – Gallatin County’s Hazard Migration and Community Wildfire
Protection Plan
Presenter: Michael Stanley, MSU Police
Michael Stanley presented the Gallatin County’s Hazard Migration and Community Wildfire
Protection Plan and sought the adoption of this plan by MSU. Committee members questioned
the impact of this plan on MSU facilities and buildings. Members expressed that they
would like more time to review the documentation associated with this recommendation.
John How motioned to table this motion and resume discussion at a future UFPB meeting.
Chris Fastnow seconded the motion.
