PUBLIC HEARING(S)

A. Ordinance 02-25, Of the City of Homer, Amending the Homer City Code to Add Chapter 18.07, Requiring Funding for Works of Art in Projects for Construction, Remodeling and Renovation of Certain Public Facilities. Yourkowski. (First Reading 05/28/02, Public Hearing 06/10/02, and Second Reading Postponed on 06/10/02 to first meeting in July and with an additional Public Hearing. Public Hearing 07/09/02 and Second Reading directly after public testimony.)

Leanne McCartt spoke in favor of the one percent proposed for the arts. She advised that Paul, her husband, and she are three year residents of Homer, property owners and take pride in Homer as their adopted City they have chosen for their final homer. She related that thirty five years ago there was another City in Colorado that had just lost its main industry and was at a loss as to how to recuperate. A group of people formed a committee similar to the one promoting the Poop Deck project and the Pratt public art dialogues. This group kept involving more and more of the people involved with music, dance, visual arts, theatre, writings and every type of art interest to be found in the community. The Chamber of Commerce along with the City Council promoted, “Pride City Pueblo”. The community, instead of looking down looked up and was encouraged to pull together as a community and for the community. The culmination of this endeavor and the involvement of an entire community to improve the community and arts in their midst evolved into the “Sangre De Cristo Arts and Conference Center”. She cited the example of the City of New York community pulling together during the 9/11 disaster and voiced her belief that Homer can do it too. She commented on the spirit in Homer that newcomers, such as them, tap into and that this spirit and energy in Homer is important to everyone. She relayed that as a volunteer at Bunnell Street Gallery she has heard hundreds of comments from tourists from all over that they cannot believe that this little town of Homer has so much art. Rhetorically, where does this art come from, from the people of Homer who offer from themselves. She emphasized that the cultural side of Homer is waiting for improvement, that the people and organizations exist to back the one percent for arts, and that the Homer community can only benefit. She relayed her husband’s and her belief that this is only the beginning for pride and economic development in Homer, that they are proud to give their support in favor of the one percent for art in the community and hoped that the Council does the same.

Connie Alderfer, Homer Council on the Arts, advised that she was influenced, by a great extent, to move to Homer by “their” perception that Homer is an arts community. She spoke in favor of the Ordinance and not just for the one percent for the art, which would come from some of the municipal building projects. This, of itself, does not make an art community, it is one more piece of a process that has been in place here for many years, is just going to continue and is worth supporting. Art has very positive economic impact in a community, attracts people who want to live here and who want to visit. Art is something that enriches a vacation experience, it is nice to go fishing, boating or hiking, and art provides more reason for people to come and more parts of a family to come if the community has strong artistic offerings. She voiced her knowledge that the Council makes their decisions on how to spend money for the City based on what is good or will make some kind of economic return or what is something that the community really needs, this is part of a process of decision making where money is being spent that will come back, because of the way that it influences the tourist business. She made one other point that she feels that art is something that awakens the creativity that is inside of everyone and some express this creativity by making artistic pieces, others express in the way they do business, or the business ideas generated or problem solving in the community. Things that spark people and get them rolling might be a piece of art and it could be one of the pieces that would be funded with this new proposal. She voiced her hope that the Council would support this and thanked them.

Diane McBride, a thirty three year resident, voiced her support for the one percent for arts program that will provide jobs, support tourism and beautification for Homer. She reported the following:

In New Mexico, one of the poorest states in America, Sante Fe and Taos have embraced art and have become sustainable communities with strong economies based on art while the rest of New Mexico flounders.

Columbus, Indiana is a small city just south of Indianapolis, about one hundred miles, a little larger than Homer. About forty years ago Columbus began inviting architects to come in and design their public buildings; schools, library. It has been amazing to see the transformation of that community. It is now a global tourist destination and tens of thousands of visitors monthly come through that community to see the incredible public art. It is a strong sustainable economy.

She encouraged the Council to look at Anchorage and how it has transformed and improved over the years because of the one percent for the art program. When this City adopts one percent for the arts it will make a strong statement in support of the economy, the local artists, jobs and tourism. Homer is the art Mecca of Alaska and should be proud of it, therefore, support one percent for the arts. She stated, “We are the sum total of our choices, which defines us and let us make this choice.” She thanked the Council.

Gaye Wolfe, ten year resident of Homer, voiced her amazement at the progress this little town has made. She told the Council that they deserve all the credit in the world for being up there, taking the flak and doing the good stuff like this. She stated that the one percent for the arts is one of the most important elements that can be incorporated into this City to make this City what it should be. Homer is an art destination, fishing is an industry here, but the arts are coming up fast and it’s important that what one sees in one’s daily life gives inspiration and hope for the future, and art in public places does that. Just beginning within the City, taking on this responsibility and this effort is a monumental thing for the Council and speaks volumes as to how the Council feels about where they live. She emphasized that she cannot thank the Council enough for this Ordinance coming on the table, there is nothing wrong about this and it can do nothing but good for the town, the people and those who come to visit and enjoy this place in Alaska. Ms. Wolfe advised that she has lived and traveled around the world and every place that she has ever gone, she has gone because of what it had to offer in history, art, architectural and those valuable, wonderful things that are in life to absorb. She told the Council that she wants to see this here, it makes for a place for people to come, want to stay, want to enjoy and absorb. Everyone has their own tastes and feelings about what this is about, but ultimately it is all positive. She commended and thanked the Council for this ordinance and Councilmember Yourkowski’s efforts to bring it to the floor.

Mike Hawfield congratulated the Council on the dock, adding that was a great day with a lot of neat things happening for the community that day. He voiced his opinion that this ordinance is another one of those really wonderful things that adds to the pride of community in some really profound ways. He stated that he is the Director of the Pratt Museum and the Pratt Museum has officially taken a position in support of the promotion of public art in the community, including ways in which the public budget might support public art. He noted that workshops have been sponsored, worked with Bunnell Street and the Arts Council to promote and explore the idea of public art in communities, to bring in experts from other communities and in the museum’s own activities will foster the installation of public art on the museum grounds as part of that process, largely through private dollars and contributions. He stated that he is not going to be able to add much to the very eloquent comments already made by others, new comers and debutants of the arts and public spaces. He emphasized the place that art plays in the development of community pride, as felt in the dedication of the dock, a practical and pretty artistic looking facility, is an exceptionally important part of economic development, because all are a part of economic development. The stronger the pride in a community, the stronger the economic development. He referred to Diane McBride's comments, and added that there are communities elsewhere in this country and literally hundreds, perhaps thousands, across the country could be named that have benefited from the stimulus that public investment in public art brings to a community. Public art stimulates other private giving many, many fold as a community expresses its character and exudes its spirit through the promotion and sustenance of public art. This really is quite an important piece of community in its broadest sense. Homer is a very proud community, a wonderful community and it does incredible things and public art is a part of that. He emphasized that art is seen all over town privately funded and it is a step in the right direction, as believed at the Pratt Museum, to add the public side to that support for public art. He thanked the Council.

Gale Parsons thanked the Council and voiced her appreciation for this opportunity tonight. She stated that she speaks to the Council as an artist, as an educator, as the exhibit and education director at the Pratt Museum and as a Bunnell Street (Gallery) Boardmember. She pointed out that as one could tell from her introduction that she supports the arts whole heartedly and is so glad this had come to the table. She advised that “they” were very happy to bring down some folks from Anchorage, a couple of years ago, to introduce the concept of public art to the community, adding that a number of the Council came to those programs that were collaboratively supported by the Arts Council and the Bunnell Street Gallery. Positive economic, social and emotional visual impacts come through art and improve the quality of life, the main issue here. Art, especially art in public places, is an uplifting experience for people, challenging at times, interesting, inspirational and an important piece of making a community a lively and attractive place to visit. She pointed out that public art is sustainable, a lot of the things done around here have not been sustainable, and she emphasized that she very much supports it from the economic perspective. Sustainability is one thing and if the community supports it the arts will continue to be sustainable. Artists have supported so much in this community for so long, generously donating to fund raising efforts, therefore, she urged the Council, to let the community take this opportunity, now, to support the arts.

Samuel Smith introduced himself as a sort of lost artist in this group and that he has been in this community for a long period of time. He said that he likes to say that he supports the community as much as he can and that his art is intangible and walks around from day to day in that he cuts hair. He related that as he looks around he says to himself, does the community support the arts and that Homer is sort of on the boarder line and wonders if it wants cows in the community or a big dog like in Chicago, or an arch like in Saint Louis. He stated that there is no fool on the hill in Homer. So, he told the Council, they have to ask themselves if they really support the arts. He concluded that he would like to say in a few weeks or months that, yah, they really support the arts here in Homer. He thanked the Council for their support.

Diane Borgman, Homer Council on the Arts, advised that she has been involved in art education and art advocacy in Alaska since 1970, and so most of the Council who knows her know where she is coming from. She relayed that she has seen art change lives, change whole communities, and have an impact, probably that she would never have imagined before. She shared her love of Homer and that one of the reasons, also, she came to Homer was because of the vision that she saw here, the continuity and cohesiveness in this community. She commented that when she was principal of McNeil Canyon Elementary School one of her first emphasis or focuses was on bringing children’s art into the building, into the school and into the museum. That school is a beautiful example of what art can do, artists came from all over the state. She voiced her opinion that art in public places, especially in schools, is a very important aspect of our whole life and whole education. Regarding the schools in Anchorage, Ms. Borgman informed the Council that they would be amazed at some of the beautiful pieces, where there is a percent for art program, many of these were done in conjunction with kids and is a very enriching and exciting experience. She advised the Council of a small community in California, called Exeter, in the Visalia area, an agricultural community that was also on a great decline and its City Council and local arts community got together and they’ve turned that town around. Exeter has sculptures, sculpture parks, and murals on public buildings and people come from every where to visit that community. She expressed her excitement that this Ordinance is on the table and that she supports it completely. She shared her knowledge that many others, not here tonight, also support this Ordinance, voicing her hope that the Council will pass the Ordinance she thanked them.

Janet Bowen, Director of Homer Council on the Arts, voiced her full appreciation and agreement with all of the other testimony. She commented about a movie a while back about baseball and the phrase was said, “If you build it they will come.” She advised that she is not talking about providing art for tourists that come to see the town, adding her hope that tourists continue to come and recommend Homer to their friends. She stated that what she is talking about is the leadership role that the City could take in supporting this Ordinance, then, she voiced her belief, that private builders and individuals will also come forward and follow the same suit and provide for more artistic architecture within the town. This is a very great opportunity for the City to take this leadership role and go with it. She informed the Council that the Arts Council is getting ready to renovate the building that they are purchasing in August and will be taking a look at how the building looks architecturally from the outside. A pre design architect is being hired to work with the Arts Council and they are going to pay a good deal of attention as to how the building looks. Building appearance does make a statement and since they are an Arts Council, it should look artistic, which is the same thing that can be said for the town of Homer. She voiced her hope that all of the Council would support this Ordinance and thanked Councilmember Yourkowski for bringing this to the table.

Main Motion is on the floor as postponed on June 10, 2002: CUE/FENSKE - MOVED THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 02-25 BY READING OF TITLE FOR SECOND AND FINAL READING.

FENSKE/LADD - MOVE TO LAY ON THE TABLE ORDINANCE 02-25.

Mayor Cushing elucidated the difference between postpone and lay on the table. He clarified that to lay on the table means that this Ordinance comes back when four people on the Council know that there is going to be six people here and they bring it back so that they don’t keep postponing it meeting after meeting until there is a full Council.

VOTE: (lay on the table) YES: NON OBJECTION. UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

Motion carried.

Mayor Cushing asked that Ordinance 02-25 be placed on an agenda for public notice, rather than as a lay down.

B. Ordinance 02-27, Of the City of Homer Amending Homer City Code Chapter 13.04, Concerning Definitions for Standard Construction Practices, Amending Section 13.08.010 Concerning the Applicability of Chapter 13.08, and Repealing in Entirety Sections 13.40.010 through 13.40.320 and Reenacting a New Section 13.40.010 Concerning Standard Construction Specifications. City Manager. (First Reading 06/10/02, Public Hearing 07/08/02, and Second Reading directly after public testimony.)

There was no public testimony.

MARQUARDT/CUE - MOVED FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 02-27 BY READING OF TITLE FOR SECOND AND FINAL READING.

VOTE: YES: NON OBJECTION. UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

Motion carried.

C. Ordinance 02-28, Of the City Council of Homer, Alaska Amending Section Three of Ordinance 02-21(S), Regarding Zone Two Mill Rate. City Manager. Fiscal Note: Cost to the City is $324.09. (First Reading 06/10/02, Public Hearing 07/08/02, and Second Reading directly after public testimony.)

There was no public testimony.

FENSKE/CUE - MOVED FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 02-28 AS READ FOR SECOND AND FINAL READING.

There was a very brief comment that this has been fairly well clarified through the media and that the $324.09 amounts to a decimal that the Borough was unable to process in the originally proposed mill levy of 3.625, therefore the City is reducing the mill rate to 3.62, resulting in reducing the tax collectively by $324.09 for the property owners in Zone 2., the newly annexed area.

VOTE: (consent agenda with correction) YES: NON OBJECTION. UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

Motion carried.

COMMENTS OF THE MAYOR

Mayor Cushing advised that there is a great State All Star Girls’ fast pitch senior league softball tournament going on in Homer since Saturday. The final game is Thursday night and spectators are appreciated. There are two games per day, the championship game is Thursday. Abbott O Rabbit appears to be the team to beat and have had approximately five hits on their pitchers in the first three days of the tournament.

COMMENTS OF THE CITY COUNCIL

Councilmember Cue voiced her pleasure with the community coming to the dedication ceremony of Pioneer Dock and that it was really nice to see how the community can come together and take pride in something that has been worked on for several years. She thanked City Manager Drathman for all of his hard work to make this happen. She stated that this is particularly meaningful to her after having endured several years, at least the last two years, of a lot of brow beating and a lot of negativity directed towards the City and this Council. Ms. Cue stated that she feels very fortunate to have been in attendance at that celebration and thanked everyone for all of their work.

Councilmember Kranich commented on the Dock Dedication Ceremony, and that it was nice for him since his father was in charge of the CCC Crew in 1938 or 1939 that crossed to Mallard Bay and cut the pilings for the dock that went in then, taking the place of the dock that the Coal company had put in about the turn of the century. He stated that right along with Clem Tillion, it was a really nice birthday for him as well. He emphasized that this was a real nice event, real nice facility and that after taking a walk around it he was tickled to death with the way that structure was put together and that he had fully anticipated this with the way the crew worked. He commended the crew, adding that they did a beautiful job and he commended the design. This was not a dock that the design was hashed up and cut back by a Council, noting that this Council stuck together on the design, to build it to the maximum capacity.

Councilmember Ladd commented on the Pioneer Dock and that he noticed the Deep Water Dock that needs to be upgraded to carry the weight it needs to carry and house the types of ships that Homer should be handling. He relayed hearing Senator Murkowski speak about Home Land Security. Mr. Ladd emphasized that Homer is in a prime location, should something happen in Anchorage, the Homer facilities, if the Deep Water Dock is in place, will be real vital to the State of Alaska. He commended everyone on the work to get the new dock done and encouraged the Council to keep pushing and get the Deep Water Dock upgraded and to move on this project next.

Mayor Cushing, as a follow up to Councilmember Ladd’s comments on the Deep Water Dock, relayed that Clem Tillion was able to speak at length with Senator Murkowski about that aspect. The Mayor advised that when he was driving Senator Stevens around town he was able to speak at length with him and got a very positive feed back from the Senator, which was encouraging. He stated, one aside, for women in town looking for role models, besides Councilmember Cue, who is a Captain in the military, both the Commanding Officer and the Executive Officer on the USCG cutter Spar are women, therefore, the military is doing what a lot of folks in American society think should be done with gender equality. He stated that it was real fun to get a tour of that ship, a sister ship to the Hickory, which will be stationed in Homer to replace the Sedge.

Councilmember Marquardt commented on the dock ceremony, that it was a wonderful day, that the weather cooperated and that people turned out. He stated that pride can be taken in this project. Mr. Marquardt reported on his threat to bring forward a resolution regarding the Animal Shelter Project to keep it held to a budget that he thought the Council had considered to be the figure, originally. He advised that he has been having some good conversations with the City Manager and some other people involved and has read a lot of information, all the minutes, grants received and scope of work that Kluge and Associates, the architect, has come up with and some of the cost estimations. He voiced his opinion that progress is being made on bringing this project into a more realistic cost scenario, and that he is optimistic that this project can be built with the money on hand and not have to go to the voters this fall or somewhere else to look for more funds. He noted that a lot of this depends on acquiring some land and that he thinks that he is happy with where this project is going so far.

Councilmember Fenske advised that he happened to think of one thing he was going to mention and that is that his folks, Audrey and Richard Keiser, came into town just a couple of hours before the dedication ceremony. He stated that they are both over eighty years old, sat through the ceremony, took a walk around the dock and toured the Spar. Mr. Fenske noted that the tour of the ship included going up and down ladders, that his mom, at eighty four years old, trucked right through the ship tour with no help at all. He relayed her comment, when they were all done, that it was a very nice ceremony and that it is a pretty boat.

Mayor Cushing stated that Councilmember Fenske’s mother could be a role model for everyone.

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business to come before the Council the meeting was adjourned at 8:28 p.m. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 12, 2002 at 7:30 p.m. in the Homer City Hall Council Chambers located at 491 E.
