Title

Deaccession of Art Pieces Discussion

Body

Chair Ozment would like to discuss the process and the options of how the APP Board is able to deaccession pieces from the County Collection. Per the APP Policy and Guidelines document:

“If the APPB decides to proceed with recommending to Council the Disposal of a work of public art, the Board will: 

- Gather information from the stakeholders and discuss the results at an APPB meeting. The artist whose work is being considered for Disposal will be notified by reasonable means of the meeting, if possible.

- If the Board decides to recommend Disposal of the art work, a plan for the path forward will be developed reflecting input from the stakeholders and the artist, if possible. The role of the artist is advisory only. The current monetary value of the art work, if available, will be included in the plan along with a description of the applicable conditions listed above.

- Notify the Council liaison of the recommended plan for Council approval and disposition. Disposal of any public work of art requires Council approval, so the Board Chair, the Council liaison, and the staff liaison will formulate a plan and path forward for final Council decision.

- Disposal by any means of County-owned public art shall comply with all applicable County and State legal requirements.”
