I guess my point is not to roll anything
back (we have achieved one percent) but also not to fail in requesting more by
asking for too much. After all, one percent is a solid foundation. It would be
better to seek 1.5 percent and get it than to ask for two percent and get
nothing. A focus of criticism seems to be the TOC project that brought in $400K
for art that at 2 percent would have been $800K, a figure that could persuade a
lot of people to be negative. The fact is that such capital sums (on public buildings)
are rare so by offering to cap the total (e.g along
the lines of NYC as mentioned below), we would appear
to be offering a significant concession whereas in fact it would rarely make a
difference. From: Janet Kagan
[mailto:jkagan AT nc.rr.com] Frank et al Thank you for this link; the bibliography is wonderful. I would caution us to be careful about limiting the amount of the
percent in our ordinance. Janet On May 6, 2007, at 1:16 PM, Frank Webb wrote:
