In developing its vision for the future of the city, the city council believes that planning and
development decisions should give aesthetic and social value equal weight with any project's
functional and economic values. Public art strengthens public places and enhances and promotes
Saint Paul's identity as a liveable and creative city and a desirable place to live work and visit
Therefore, the council wishes to implement a process and provide funding to involve artists in the
design, implementation and integration of art in public projects.

In order to facilitate the encouragement and inclusion of public art in planning and develoument
the citv council finds that 1) involvement of public artists in nublic proiects should beein at the
earliest sta�es of conce tp ual plannine and continue through proiect design and implementation• 2)
sufficient resources should be commiued to sustain an innovative nublic art and desien rop ¢7am
that is distineuished bv its hieh auality�and 31 that nolicies and procedures should be
administratively develo�ed which will facilitate and sunport creation and implementation of a
