Public Art Integration at Flagler Villas Senior Housing
Summary
A $291,096 public art package for the 60-unit affordable senior housing project at 5215 West Flagler Street can't move forward because the board keeps failing to reach quorum. Artists have been shortlisted but can't be ratified. Residents of the future building and the Flagler neighborhood wait longer for the artwork.

Impact analysis
Up to $291,096 from the Public Art Fund is earmarked but can't be spent until the board can vote.
Once approved, low-income senior residents of Flagler Villas and the surrounding Flagler neighborhood get integrated public art and educational programming.
Shortlisted artists and the project timeline are delayed; the project schedule slips toward September if no special meeting is held.
