business community in Marana. The Public Works Director will also serve on this committee as
and Ex-Officio member. This committee shall review proposals for public art projects to be
included in public works projects.

works projects that are visible and have a construction cost exceeding $500,000 (.projects which
are not visible, such as waterlines, sewers, etc. are not subject to this art allocation). The mount
allocated for public art shall be up to 1% of the project construction cost.
