Section 7.0 Selection of Artists and Artwork: (a) The Arts Commission shall establish and draft and recommend for adoption by the BOCC a set of Percent for Art Program Guidelines and Policies ("Program Guidelines") which shall be consistent with policies of the BOCC and the terms of this Resolution, shall provide for adequate public input in the Artist and Artwork selection process, and provide direction for the selection of qualified Artists and appropriate Artwork and cost-effective appropriation and expenditures of the Public Art Fund and this Program. The public shall be invited and encouraged to participate in the formulation of the Program Guidelines. (b) Upon BOCC approval of the Program Guidelines, the Arts Commission shall appoint a committee (hereafter "Committee") to be chaired by an Arts Commission member. This committee shall include at least one representative each of the Orange County Arts Commission, the designer of the Eligible Construction Project for which the Public Art Allocation is to be expended (if relevant), the host County Department, the public at large, and at least two art professionals.
