The mission of Square Edge Community Arts had been updated for 2019 with a clear vision and mission statement and an emphasis on supporting community artists. The Manawatu Art Trail was a key initiative to address this theme. The Trail increased access to arts in a festival style form, celebrating a diverse range of arts and allowing artists to interact with the public.

Presentation – CEDA’s Distinguished Alumni of the Manawatu Project

Ms Janelle Deuchrass made a presentation regarding CEDA’s Alumni Project.

The first step of the project had been to name it. Iwi representatives had been engaged in the process and the name Te Aho Tamaka was decided. The project aimed to identify Manawatu leaders; people who were making a difference in their chosen industry. A wide range of sectors were included and the list would evolve as time goes on.

There was a programme launch in December that intended to promote the existence of the programme. Te Aho Tamaka would have standalone events and also link into other events in the Manawatu. There would be a website created that would give an opportunity for people to put names forward for the programme.

Moved Leonie Hapeta, seconded Karen Naylor.

The COMMITTEE RESOLVED

Deputation - Te Toa Manawatu

Mr Tim Wilson and Mr Trevor Mills made a deputation regarding the Te Toa Manawatu project.

The Committee were shown an image of the proposed bronze sculpture which was described as a typical soldier of that era. The proposed site for the sculpture was currently on the southern side of the river near the He Ara Kotahi bridge, and engagement with Rangitane would take place before the exact location was decided.

It was anticipated that the sculpture would help to rebuild the relationship between Defence and the community and would be a destination for people.

PALMERSTON NORTH CITY COUNCIL

Memorandum

TO: Arts, Culture and Heritage Committee

MEETING DATE: 11 February 2019

TITLE: Funding agreement between Palmerston North City Council and Palmerston North Public Sculpture Trust

DATE: 17 January 2019

Presented By: Debbie Duncan, General Manager - Community

APPROVED BY: Heather Shotter, Chief Executive

RECOMMENDATION(S) TO Council

1. That the memorandum titled “Funding agreement between Palmerston North City Council and Palmerston North Public Sculpture Trust” and dated 17 January 2019 be received for information.

2. That Council approves the amended funding agreement between Palmerston North City Council and the Palmerston North Public Sculpture Trust.

3. That Council approves an increase in operating budget in 2018/19 of $50,000. This will be offset by removing the capital new budget in programme 367 (Public Sculptures/Arts Funding) of $50,000 in 2018/19.

1. ISSUE

This memorandum supports the deputation made by Palmerston North Public Sculpture Trust (PNPST) Chairman Simon Barnett.

Council included $50,000 per annum as a capital new budget for five years in the 2018-2028 Ten-Year Plan to support the Sculpture Trust’s programme to acquire and install small-scale, high quality sculptures in public areas focussing on central Palmerston North.

Following this decision Council officers began discussion with PNPST on a new funding agreement for a five-year term from 2018-2023. Amendments have been made to the agreement reflecting the new strategic direction of Palmerston North City Council, legislative changes, and clarification of the funding process to ensure transparency around Council support for PNPST.

The new agreement will result in Council making an operating grant to PNPST for its contribution, rather than a capital purchase as is currently budgeted. Future funding for this programme of work will be budgeted as an annual operating grant of $50,000.

2. BACKGROUND

The Palmerston North Public Sculpture Trust was formed in 2006 by members of the local arts and business community who saw an opportunity to enrich the central area of the city. Key outcomes sought by the Trust were to:

a. increase public access to sculpture;

b. raise the profile of the arts; and

c. add to the vitality of our city centre.

Funds for the sculptures were raised by donations along with a contribution of up to $50,000 per year from the Council. Assistance in lighting of each work was provided by Central Energy Trust. On completion, each sculpture has been gifted to the City of Palmerston North to be maintained by the Council.

As noted in the Palmerston North Arts Plan 2018-2021, Council’s approach to public art is to support projects that help emerging and established artists develop and promote their creative skills, culture and stories, and to work with charitable trusts such as PNPST to make the arts more visible throughout the city. Council working closely with PNPST has created opportunities for coordinating public sculpture commissions with streetscape upgrades and renewals. This integrated approach to public art contributes directly to Palmerston North becoming an arts powerhouse with a national reputation for creativity and the arts.

The original funding agreement from 2008 (Attachment 1) requires updating to reflect the new strategic direction of Council, legislative changes, and to clarify the funding provided by Palmerston North City Council and the amount contributed by PNPST. This ensures that all parties are clear on the funding process, creating transparency for the community, and any new Trustees or Council officers who may become involved.

3. DiSCUSSION

An amended funding agreement (Attachment 2) has been developed with the assistance of PNPST and Council’s legal advisors. This includes removal of reference to funding from Council to match funds raised by the PNPST towards the costs of each sculpture of up to a maximum of $50,000 per annum. Independent legal advice indicated that the clauses in the original 2008 agreement (e.g. clauses 1.1, 1.2, 2.2 and 12) relating to matched funding were unclear.

Over the last ten years PNPST has often contributed more than the $50,000 plus GST towards funding costs for each sculpture provided by Council. For example, in the case of Who’s Afraid by Paul Dibble, PNPST raised $73,000 in public donations in addition to the $50,000 PNCC grant towards the total cost of $123,000 for the sculpture plus installation. As PNPST moves into a new programme to install smaller works, there may be occasions when less than $50,000 plus GST is required from Council. In this case Council would fund the lesser of $50,000 plus GST, or 50 percent of the GST inclusive price of the sculpture.

It is proposed that payment of the Council’s grant be made to PNPST on completion of the commissioning agreement or contract to purchase between PNPST and the sculptor. This supports PNPST to pay any deposit required by the artist and assists PNPST with further fundraising.

If this agreement is approved a budget change for 2018/19 financial year will need to be made as the current budget sits as a capital new programme. Recommendation three above seeks an additional operating budget of $50,000 with which to pay a grant to the PNPST in 2018/19. This will be offset by no longer requiring the current $50,000 capital new budget in programme 367 (Public Sculptures/Arts Funding).

4. NEXT STEPS

If the recommendations are approved then officers will complete the signing of the funding agreement and commence progressing the new programme of works with the PNPST.

Contribution to strategic direction	By adding vitality to the city centre, increasing public access to high quality art, and raising the profile of the arts in the City, the PNPST sculpture programme makes Palmerston North a creative and interesting place to be, supporting Priority 3 of the Creative and Liveable Strategy to develop the city into an arts powerhouse with a national reputation for creativity and the arts.
