CONSIDERATION OF DESIGN AND LOCATION OF THE BEAR CREEK TRAIL ART PIECE AS PROVIDED BY THE LA QUINTA ARTS FOUNDATION. Ms. Horvitz, Community Services Director, advised that in 1994 the La Quinta Arts Foundation proposed doing an art project with local youth, and in 1995 the location for the art piece was changed from .Eisenhower Park to the Bear Creek Trail. Due to various reasons, the project was shelved for sometime, and the Arts Foundation is now submitting the proposed design for the art piece. Jana Barbier, P. 0. Box 777, Education Director of La Quinta Arts Foundation, stated that the art piece, "Love Seat," was designed by internationally known artist, Gene Flores, who is willing to work with the youth on the installation. City Council Minutes 5 March 2, 1999 The art piece will be made of brushed stainless steel with split -stone seats, and poetry will be engraved on the wall. In response to Council Member Perkins, Ms. Barbier advised that it will have a raised concrete base. The pillars can also be filled with concrete, and the stainless steel won't take on the heat until the concrete gets very hot. If the steel should get damaged it can be brushed out. Council Member Adolph didn't have a problem with the design, but felt the stainless steel is not indicative of the trail area. Ms. Barbier stated that the artist's. intent was to do homage to the metal roof structures built here many years ago. The brushed stainless steel will pick up the color tones of the sky and mountains, but it won't reflect the sun. Council Member Adolph believed the stainless steel would get hot, and was concerned about someone getting burned. Ms. Barbier pointed out that metal art pieces are placed all along El Paseo in Palm Desert. Council Member Perkins felt the art piece is unique, and didn't have a problem with the stainless steel. Council Member Sniff felt it's totally out of place, and missing a balance of native things such as stone, plants, and maybe water. He felt it would be hot in the summer and cold in the winter, and didn't have enough shade or seating. He felt that it needs to be rethought in order to come up with something that's more functional and compatible with the area, and was concerned that people might trip over the abrupt elevation of the base. Ms. Horvitz pointed out that the art piece would not be replacing one of the four rest stops planned along the trail, one of which will be approximately 500 feet away. Mayor Pro Tern Henderson felt the Council may need to address the issue of the rest stops, and determine if they should all be the same or different. She was impressed with the artist's offer to participate, however, she didn't feel that the roof provides enough shade, and was concerned about someone tripping on the raised step. She also questioned the stainless steel not getting hot during the summer. City Council Minutes 6 March 2, 1999 Council Member Sniff felt the glistening from the stainless steel would be offensive and irritating to the eye. Mayor Pro Tern Henderson noted that according to the City's code, the art piece is to be an original, and understood that the artist has used the proposed design in other places. Ms. Barbier stated that it's of the same origin, but not the same design. Council Member Adolph understood that the artist was going more for the artistic aspect rather than a functional shade area, and noted that the City's bus stops have the same problem because they look nice aesthetically, but they lack sufficient shade. His only objection to the art piece was the use of stainless steel. In response to Council Member Perkins, Ms. Horvitz advised that the proposed location is approximately 500 feet from the south end of the trail. Council concurred on referring this back to the La Quinta Arts Foundation asking that it be re -thought with consideration given to Council's comments. 3. CONSIDERATION OF NAMING THE CITY'S SEMI-ANNUAL CLEAN-U S "MARION HENDERSON DESERT BEAUTIFUL CLEAN-UP DAY " was no verbal or written staff report.) Mayor Pro Henderson noted that the Desert iful organization is about 35 years old, that Marion Henderson ha de marvelous efforts toward beautification o desert.

MINUTE ORDER N -26. FROM : VINDEO DESIGNS PHONE NO. Dec. 06 1998 03:18PM P2 Proposal Bear Creels Bike Path Arteach in conjunction with the Boys and Girls Chub of the Coachella Valley, and Amistad high school, propose to design and construct an environmentally friendly, historically significant, and visually appealing sculpture for the Bear Creek Bie Path in the La Quints cove. Even when it was under water the Coachella Valley had a rich and unusual his- tory. The indigenous peoples of the region took advantage of fertile ocean wa- ters of what was then an extension of what we call now the Gulf of California. At this time our dry desert sands were under sixty feet of water. The local Indi- ans built stone semi -circles ranging from 3 to 5 feet high, and 8 to 12 feet in cir- cumference on the mountain shores of the inland body of water. As the tide would rise and ebb, sea water would fill and empty from these ingenious *M- um trapping fish in the remaining pools. The deposited fish helped maintain a substantial native papulatinon. In the mountains along with the with the native peoples lived an assortment of large mammals. The largest and most fearsome of the mammals was the Califor- nia Grizzly of which the canyon is named. The grizzly is depicW in a preserved hieroglyph in the area. This magnificent animal is honored by its representation in the design, as it appears in the hieroglyph, in steel. With the symbolic reconstruction of the fish traps and the Cahuilla Beat Shaman image, we hope to do honor to the history of the region and to the memory of its early inhabitants.

The project was sponsored by a grant from Healthy Start, an or- ganization that assists disadvantaged children. The mural was completed with hands-on assistance from Terri Hayes of ARTEACH and artist Michael Angelo Hernandez. The mural began with a drawing contest open to all sixth-, seventh - and eighth -grade students. The theme was "Our Community and a Healthy Family." Healthy Start staffers Lucy Moreno and Tonie Aguilar, along with Hayes and Mecca School Principal Joe Ceja, selected three winning entries. The Jewel Master in Indio and Target in Palm Desert provided gifts for the first-, second- and third -place winners. The after -school project was open to students who volunteered their time, and the cartooning and painting took about seven weeks. The colorful mural depicts the students' vision of their community and a healthy fam- ily. It will be located on the north outside wall of the Healthy Start office at Mecca School.
