The Council referred the item to the Cultural Affairs Commission for its review and comment. The Youth Art Works on Public Lands project envisions hiring local youth to produce art works in parks and at public facilities. The youth would be supervised by mentors. Funding for the program initially is based on a $5,000 grant from the VIVA Foundation (KSL Corporation), and will be matched by funds from the APP account. Council has asked that the Commission review the item, and provide the Council with a advice on this issue. COUNCIL/RDA MEETING DATE: October 4, 1994 ITEM TITLE: Consideration of a recommendation by the Art in Public Places Committee regarding Youth Art Works Public Art Project.

Allow the Art in Public Places Committee (APP) to utilize funds from the APP Fund to match existing and future donations received from other civic organizations to implement the program. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Commitment of an amount of $5,000 of Art in Public Funds. Future commitments of funds would require Council authorization for exact amount. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: The Art in Public Places Committee at its meeting of September 12, 1994, reviewed a proposal by the La Quinta Arts Foundation to employ the youth of La Quinta in various areas of the City to create art work in their own area of the community. The program would utilize different local artists to oversee each project and instruct the youth. The youth targeted for the program would be those in their junior and senior year of high school. The program would be on -going throughout the year with an evaluation at the completion of each project. The APP Committee has chosen the Mini Park at Eisenhower and Avenida Colima as the site for this first pilot project with other sites to be determined at a later .date and brought to Council for their review and approval. In addition, local civic organizations will be asked to donate funds to help implement the program to make the program unique to La Quinta and to generate interest in the community to make the program successful. The City would then match the funds raised by committing APP funds. (At the present time, VIVA Foundation has committed $5,000 to the Mini Park. The APP would like to match this amount to develop a total of $10,000 to be used on the Mini Park project.) At this time, the APP Committee is asking Council to: 1. Support the concept of the program, "Youth Art Works on Public Lands"; 2. Approve the Eisenhower/Avenida Colima Mini Park as the first location to start the program; and, 3. Allow the Art in Public Places Committee (APP) to utilize funds from the APP Fund to match donations received from other civic organizations to implement the program. CCM.002 Following Council's approval for the above, the Committee will return for Council approval, regarding the specific art work as well as the amount of APP funds needed. FINDV;GS AND ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives available to the City Council are: 1. Approve the recommendation as presented; 2. Modify the recommendation as deemed appropriate by the City Council; 3. Provide alternate direction to the Art in Public Places Committee; 4. Deny the reccpnmendation.

The City Council requested at its October 18 meeting that the Commission review the request, and present a recommendation to the Council regarding this issue. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Commission review the attached correspondence, and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the funding request by Children's Museum. Attachments: Copy of Minutes from October 18 Council Meeting Correspondence from Children's Museum dated September 15, 1994 City Council Minutes 4 -- October 18, 1994 In response to Council Member Bangerter, Mr. Bohnenberger advised that educational programs are being done in the schools through two teachers on staff. In response to Council Member McCartney, Mr. Bohnenberger advised that the valley's water quality has not declined and the only reason the water is chlorinated is because of EPA regulations. Council Member Sniff felt that the mouth of the canyons would be obvious recharge areas. WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE 1. Letter from Children's Museum requesting participation in "City -Sponsored Days" of a traveling exhibit. MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Bangerter to refer the Children's Museum letter to the Cultural Affairs Commission for their review and recommendations. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 94-221. 2. Letter from Laurie Reynolds -McRae requesting financial assistance in training for the olympic's figure skating. Mrs. Laurie McRae, mother of Colleen Reynolds, informed Council that in only seven months, Colleen has accomplished skating skills equal to those who have been skating for four to seven years. She is currently being coached by Mr. Frank Carroll, a five - time Olympic's figure -skating coach who believes that Colleen has Olympic potential in the junior division within three to four years. Colleen is a straight -A student at Truman Elementary School. Mrs. McRae presented a revised schedule of Colleen"s skating lessons and the costs accompanying them. She has contacted the Boys & Girls Club, Rotary Club, and small businesses for the purpose of seeking donations and/or . sponsorships. She requested funding assistance from the City stating that she and her husband's combined income will not cover the costs for Colleen's training. Colleen's home club is Palm Desert and when she competes she will be representing this area. There are two ways to sponsor an. amateur figure -skating athlete under the United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA): 1) a money donation, or; 2) a contract sponsorship through the USFSA to use her in City events. Council Member Sniff was concerned with using City funds for sponsoring one individual athlete and suggested the request be referred to one of the City's Commissions. September 15,1994 Mr. Robert L.
