art and design enhancement projects, in accordance with the Long Range Public Art Plan for the 2004 CIP
and the Long Range Public Art Plan for the Water Fund, and other projects, with combined budgets of over
$8 million.
In addition, the Arts Council will (1) complete the development of Public Art Plans for the 2007 Certificates
of Obligation Sale for Critical Capital Needs and the 2008 CIP; (2) implement the second pilot year of

The Programmatic Budget for Fiscal Year 2008-2009 ($85,587.00) includes funds to support artist selection
processes for new projects, certain Collection Management operating expenses, public education
programs, and an artist/architect training symposium.
The Maintenance (Conservation) Budget for Fiscal Year 2008-2009 ($62,513.00) will be used to maintain
artwork in the collection, which includes cleaning and routine maintenance to artwork as needed.
The number and type of artist selection processes in a given fiscal year is driven by the City's
implementation schedule for projects identified in the Long Range Public Art Plan for the 2004 CIP and new
public art projects recommended by the Fort Worth Art Commission according to the annual process
outlined in the Long Range Public Art Plan for the Public Art Fund. In addition, the City is implementing
projects included in the 2007 Certificates of Obligation Sale, the 2008 CIP and projects with other funding
sources such as the Lancaster "Avenue of Light".
Beginning in Fiscal Year 2008-2009, Collection Management expenses, including 13 appraisals, 10
condition assessments and annual maintenance of 11 existing public artworks for an estimated $62,513.00,
will be paid directly from the Conservation Fund -Operating. Major conservation treatments on three
artworks estimated at $135,500.00, will be derived from the interest-bearing Public Art Conservation Fund -
Capital.
The Fort Worth Art Commission endorsed a draft Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Work Plan for purposes of public
comment on July 14, 2008, which was widely publicized through various print and electronic media,
including the City Page and the Fort Worth Public Art website. The Fort Worth Art Commission held public
hearings on August 4, 2008, and September 3, 2008, and received no opposition. The Fiscal Year 2008-
2009 Work Plan was formally recommended on September 3, 2008. The Fiscal Year 2008-2007 budget of
