III. NEW BUSINESS (DISCUSSION / POSSIBLE ACTION)
i. Art by the Hour: Memo of Understanding -draft (Heidi)
1. Heidi explained the background of the memorandum of understanding. The
purpose of the MOU is to establish the City of Corpus Christi Art by the Hour
project and identify responsibilities and roles between the City and the groups
specified.
2. Art by the hour originated with Mark Denson with the City's Parking Division seeing
another city that decorated old meters and the money deposited benefited an
organization. Since the arts lost their funding, the idea came up that old parking
meters could be placed on non -city property to collect donations for the Arts. The
money collected from the meters will initially be equally distributed among the ACA
entities.
3. The thought was to use the money collected aside from HOT funds to provide
grants to organizations that are struggling throughout the city. The meters will not
be considered part of the permanent art collection. The meters run around $50 per
meter. They will not be placed where parking meters are required; they will be
placed at the local organizations place of business to collect donations. The project
is an additional way to fund the Arts. ACC would like to the project to be exclusive
to Arts by the Hour. The ACC requested someone from Bond Council or Legal at
the next meeting to address money for maintenance of public art.
4. Few changes made to the MOU. Heidi will take MOU to Alliance and once
approved will come back to the ACC for a vote.
ii. Financial Items: (Reba)
1. Account / fund balances for PALS Fund, Permanent Art Trust, General Fund

2) Reba will submit an invoice to the city for 5,379.78 and the city will provide
