The City finds there is a need to create new and additional funding for the arts in the City of Los Angeles in order that a coordinated city-wide arts policy may be implemented that incorporates all arts and disciplines for the cultural benefit of the City, its citizens and its visitors. A percent-for-arts program related to all future public works construction in the City will provide significant added financial support toward the City’s ability to create effective processes for the commissioning of new City artworks and cultural facilities and services.

Except as otherwise provided in this article, an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the total cost of all construction, improvement or remodeling work for each public works capital improvement project undertaken by the City shall be included in the project budget for expenditure in compliance with the City’s Public Works Improvements Arts Program (Program).
For purposes of this article, “public works capital improvement project” includes any capital project paid for wholly or in part by the City of Los Angeles or by any board, bureau or department of the City authorized by the City Charter or other law to construct or remodel any building, structure, park, utility, street, sidewalk or parking facility, or any other type of capital project or any portion thereof, within the geographical limits of the City.
The requirements of this section shall apply to all public works capital improvement projects, whether or not a final inspection or a certificate of occupancy is required for the project. Compliance with the requirements of the Program shall be a condition precedent to design approval required by Section 22.109 of this Code, and whenever a building permit is required by applicable provisions of the Los Angeles Municipal Code, shall also be a condition precedent to the issuance of the permit.
EXCEPTION: If any applicable law, or the source of funding with respect to any particular public works capital improvement project prohibits use for the arts and artworks as an object of expenditure of certain funds, such funds shall be excluded from the total project budget for the purpose of calculating the expenditure for arts required by the Program for the project involved.

Except as provided in Section 19.85.4, no City board, bureau or department of the City shall permit or cause work to be commenced on any public works capital improvement project prior to depositing the budget amount required by Section 19.85.1 into the “Arts and Cultural Facilities and Services Trust Fund” provided for in Section 5.115.4 of this Code (Trust Fund) and obtaining the approval of design and location of the structure required by Section 22.109 of this Code.
Prior to such deposit, any limitations or restrictions concerning the use of the funds which are imposed by law or agreements regulating the source of said funds (e.g. location, timing or purpose) shall be determined by the City Controller, and funds so limited or restricted shall be accounted for separately in the Trust Fund and shall not be expended in violation of any of such specified limitations or restrictions.
In the event of a change in the actual cost of constructing a public works capital improvement project, the change shall incorporate in the funds budgeted for that change a money amount equal to one percent (1%) of the total change. To the extent the change increases the cost of constructing the public works capital improvement project, the department, board or bureau administering the public works capital improvement project shall deposit one percent (1%) of such increased costs into the Trust Fund; to the extent it decreases the cost of constructing the public works capital improvement project, the administrator of the Trust Fund shall reimburse the department, board or bureau one percent (1%) of such decreased cost.
