Brookings, and pertaining to the Dedicated Public Art Fund of the City of
Brookings.
Be It Ordained and Enacted by the City Council of the City of Brookings, State of South
Dakota, as follows:
Chapter 2, Article IV, Division 3. Dedicated Public Art Fund.
That Section 2-112 shall be amended as follows:
Sec. 2-112. — Findings.
The city council finds that public art and design enhances the environment of the City of
Brookings, enriches the lives of its citizens and improves the value of the city's public
spaces and buildings. In addition, the presence of public art encourages the careers of
professional artists and provides possible opportunities for their employment and career
advancement. Moreover, it is the vision of the city council to support the creative class
because a creative workforce is important for economic growth and a vibrant
community. The council further finds that art can be more fully appreciated if it is
publicly displayed as opposed to merely confined to the internal premises of galleries
and museums. Finally, a dedicated funding source for an established program of public
art enhances the reputation of the city and serves as a vehicle for attracting new
businesses and talent to all sectors of the community.
That Section 2-113 shall be amended as follows:
Sec. 2-113. — Purpose.
