Visit Potential Art Site Locations Ms Horvitz reminded the Commission that this meeting was an official meeting and all discussions must be recorded, and asked the Commissioners not to discuss the sites other than when everyone was together so as not to violate the Brown Act. The Commission recessed and drove to four locations to discuss the possibility of placing public art work. The Commission visited Adams Street Park, the Village area, Washington and Avenue 52, and Washington and Tampico. The Commissioners reconvened in the Study Session Room of the La Quinta Civic Center to further discuss the locations and agreed that Adams Street Park was their first choice to place art work. The Commission chose the retention basin area on the corner of Calle Tampico and Washington Street second; the Village area third; and Avenue 52 and Washington Street was fourth. The Commissioners discussed children being involved with the artist, and holding one or two community meetings for input from the area residents. Ms. Horvitz told the Commission she would do a staff report for the April 6, 1999 City Council meeting asking for consideration of funding for the placement of artwork at Adams Street Park.
