Suisun council mulls more public art; discussion continues
The five members also like the idea of developer fees paying for it or accepting in-lieu donations.
The fees would also include a percentage set aside for maintenance of the art. Some council members were concerned the funds would not cover the life of the artwork and the city would have to pick up the tab.
“I don’t think it’s enough money,” Councilwoman Alma Hernandez said. A total of 10% of the proposed 1% fee charged to larger commercial and industrial developers is slated to be set aside for art upkeep.
