Title
Court Facilities: Judicial Council Policy Limiting the Acceptance and Purchasing of Art for Court Facilities (Action Required)
body
Summary
The Facilities Policies Working Group recommends that the Judicial Council adopt an art policy applicable to the council’s acquisition of art for its capital projects and for both appellate and trial court facilities that it manages. This policy addresses acquisition of art by the council and clarifies that funds appropriated for courthouse construction, maintenance, and repair will not be used to acquire art. It does not apply to art that an individual court may acquire, unless that art will be permanently affixed to a court facility.
Recommendation
The Facilities Policies Working Group recommends that the Judicial Council, effective December 11, 2015, take the following action:
1. Adopt the attached Judicial Council Policy Limiting the Acceptance and Purchasing of Art for Court Facilities.
