City of La Quinta
COMMISSION MEETING
DEPARTMENT REPORT
TO: Community Services Commission
FROM: Chris Escobedo, Community Resources Director
DATE: October 9, 2017
SUBJECT: RAINBOW STRUCTURE AT FRITZ BURNS PARK
Recently, staff received a GoRequest to repaint the rainbow sculpture in original
rainbow colors. This request has been made on previous occasions since
installed at Fritz Burns Park.
For clarification, the rainbow sculpture was given to the City by Pacific Santa Fe
Corporation, who purchased the sculpture garden for a future housing
development. At that time, the artist was deceased. The following
photographs show the poor condition of the sculpture garden after his passing.
Only the rainbow survived to recreate the City Seal and the other sculptures
were discarded.
STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 2
On July 22, 2003, City Council directed staff to paint the rainbow sculpture and
add quail and palm tree elements to recreate the City Seal. It was repainted in
2007 to match the City’s 25th anniversary seal.
The piece is scheduled to be repainted as part of this fiscal year’s Art in Public
Places maintenance program.
A letter (Attachment 1) was written in 2003 by City Manager Tom Genovese to
explain the acquisition and purpose of the rainbow sculpture.
At the September 19, 2017 Council meeting, staff presented this item to the
City Council for input and direction. After discussion, the Council directed this
matter to the Community Services Commission. The Council would like to
incorporate elementary school children in the repainting of this art piece
perhaps youth from Benjamin Franklin Elementary. In addition, the Council
would like input from local artists. In November, the Fall into Art event can
provide a source for community input.
Prepared by and approved by: Chris Escobedo, Director
