GIBNEY <br />EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR <br />January 27, 2009 <br />South Bend Common Council <br />Fourth Floor Council Chambers <br />400 County -City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Dear Council Member: <br />The attached bill for your consideration and approval will appropriate $59,850.00 from the General <br />Grant Fund (fund # 250) to carry out the purpose of the original grant from the Goheen Trust, namely <br />to create and support Art in Public Spaces in the City. These funds were originally granted for various <br />public art uses, but $59,850 remains. The intended uses include approximately $9,850 in additional art <br />work in Jon Hunt Plaza in front of the Morris Performing Arts Theatre and $50,000 to the Community <br />Foundation in support of the year -long exhibit of South Bend native George Rickey's sculpture on the <br />sidewalks of downtown. Rickey is an internationally known kinetic sculptor whose work combines the <br />technical expertise of an engineer with an artist's vision to celebrate fluidity and movement. The <br />exhibit is an extremely exciting event for our community and was conceived through the collaboration <br />of the South Bend Museum of Art, the Snite Museum of Art, the Community Foundation, and the City <br />of South Bend. We look forward to your approval of this ordinance. <br />Please note, these funds cannot be used for general government purposes, only to support art in public <br />places. Either Jeff Gibney or I will present this bill at your February 23 meeting. If you have any <br />questions, please call Jeff at 235 -9375 or me at 235 -9330. <br />Sincerely, <br />lza Leonard <br />Director, Financial & Progr Management <br />cc: Jeff Gibney <br />Mikki Dobski Shidler <br />Dennis Andres <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT <br />PAMELA C.
