CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION MEETING
DATE: September 9, 1999
ITEM TITLE: Calle Estado Mural Project
RECOMMENDATION:
As deemed appropriate by the Commission.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The Chamber of Commerce has requested that the Cultural Arts Commission consider endorsing a
mural on a wall that faces Calle Estado. The wall is located south of a vacant lot which is visible
from Calle Estado (Attachment A). The Chamber is concerned that the wall presents a negative
image during the Mainstreet Marketplace event. Mainstreet Marketplace is designed to bring people
to the village area for a fun and social event. The blank wall across the vacant lot does not portray
a well groomed image.
The Commission could be involved by commissioning an artist to complete the project, and to help
the Chamber of Commerce raise funds for the project.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Commission are:
1 . Support the Calle Estado Mural project and work with the Chamber of Commerce on
the project; or
2. Support the Calle Estado Mural project and do not work with the Chamber of
Commerce on the project; or
3. Do not support the Calle Estado Mural project; or
4. Pr vide staff with alternate direction.

1. DISCUSSION REGARDING THE CIVIC CENTER MASTER PLAN CONCEPTS.
Mr. Freeland, Senior Engineer, presented two concepts, project phasing, site
amenities, and projected maintenance costs for the Civic Center Master Plan,
noting that Phase 1 of both concepts consists of landscaping and basic
amenities. Concept 1 (Phase 2) shows the library located in the northwest
corner of the campus, with a water feature and potential art feature located in
the center of the campus. Concept 2 (Phase 2) shows the library west of City
Hall, with a water feature and art feature in the center, and provides additional
parking along Calle Tampico, adjacent to the library. Phase 1 improvements
consist of grading, landscaping, a sculpture court, walkways, and a "History of
La Quinta Plaza." Phase 1 improvements of both concepts fit into the current
budget, and the Phase 2 amenities in both concepts are the same. The budget
for Phase 3, which potentially encompasses the library, future City Hall
expansion, water feature, and expanded parking, is undetermined at this time.
Mr. Vogt, Public Works Director, advised that the sidewalks, irrigation, and
landscaping in the Phase 1 improvements will be able to move forward
regardless of which master plan the Council selects, and they will provide dust
control, as well as an immediate improvement to the campus site.
Mr. Freeland advised that the Phase 1 improvements have been designed to
resemble a completed project when done. He then presented a list of proposed
project amenities with estimated costs, and the projected maintenance costs.
City Council Minutes 12 June 29, 1999
In response to Council Member Henderson, Tom Doczi, 2121 E. Tahquitz
Canyon Way, Suite 1, Palm Springs, of TKD & Associates, Inc., advised that
the items in the project amenities list are not in any specific order of priority,
and will be worked into the budget as they are selected.
In response to Council Member Adolph, Mr. Doczi advised that the "History of
La Quinta Plaza" would consist of history facts about the. City embossed on
plaques or other materials, and would be separate from the sculpture court.
In response to Mayor Pena, Mr. Vogt advised that the future expansion of City
Hall is 9,000 sq. ft. under the proposed concepts, but there have been studies
indicating an additional 15,000 sq. ft. The cost estimates are the same for both
concepts since the improvements and amenities are the same.
In response to Council Member Adolph, Mr. Freeland advised that the original
funding for this project was approximately $900,000. Some of it was used for
the street improvements done along Avenida La Fonda as part of the PM 10
project.
Council Member Henderson understood that some of it was also used to
purchase a generator for the Senior Center.
In response to Council Member Adolph, Mr. Freeland advised that the $656,660
now available is for the Phase 1 improvements, and that the contract for design,
including any changes, will be paid from that amount.
Council Member Sniff offered the following comments and suggestions
regarding Concept 1 (Phase 2): the parking on Calle Tampico has been
neglected; a better connection is needed between the trellis work and the future
library; the library should be located at the northwest corner of the campus; the
history plaza should be changed to "historical" plaza; the plaza or golf museum
should be farther west toward the library; the lake should be oval or circular
with a sculpture island and pedestrian bridges; the water in the lake should
circulate and contain some type of ornam(.ntal fish; the DeMartino art piece
should be located on the sculpture island or immediately west of City Hall; the
sidewalk around the sculpture island could double as a golf walk of fame; the
small stage area is good; there's a need to expand City Hall to the west for
more offices and on -site storage; there's also a need for an additional employee
parking area on the south side; and perhaps an additional building on the grass
area south of the employee parking lot.
City Council Minutes 13 June 29, 1999
Council Member Perkins suggested that the City's Emergency Operations Center
(EOC) could be expanded there, and that space could be utilized for other
things.
Mayor Pena suggested looking at using the employee exercise room for a
storage area.
Council Member Sniff liked the idea of a lake with a geyser, but really liked the
idea of having a sculpture island.
In response to Mayor Pefia, Mr. Doczi advised that the proposed lake is about
the same size as the one in the Palm Desert Civic Center.
Council Member Henderson agreed with locating the library at the northwest
corner of the campus, and felt that if there is a golf museum, it should face
Calle Tampico. She understood that the walkways would include the golf walk
of fame, as well as the Cultural Arts Commission's ideas on enhancing it with
artwork. She was concerned about putting the sculpture court in the center of
the lake due to not knowing how large the island would have to be to
accommodate the sculpture with the people.
Mr. Doczi noted that in Concept 1 the lake wraps around the sculpture court to
give the effect that it's on an island.
Council Member Henderson liked Concept 1, but wished to see a better
connection between the golf museum and the library.
Council Member Adolph liked Concept 1 (Phase 2), but wasn't sure that another
golf museum is needed, noting that the Historical Society has a room for golf,
the Tradition has a golf museum', and KSL is planning one. He liked the location
of the library, and suggested a few shade structures with benches and drinking
fountains. He agreed with the future expansion of City Hall, and liked the idea
of a sculpture fountain, especially one that children could play in when it's hot.
Council Member Perkins liked the location of the library, but wasn't sure that
the walkways would be used that much. He agreed with the need for covered
rest areas and drinking fountains, as well as the future expansion of City Hall.
He felt that if there's a need for another golf museum, it should be near the
Historical Museum, and advised that he liked having something in the center of
the lake with an arched bridge. He suggested looking at expanding the EOC,
and perhaps use the current space for storage. He liked the general layout of
the concepts, but suggested that the lake be constructed before turf is put
down.
City Council Minutes 14 June 29, 1999
Mayor Pena liked the library location, and wished to see additional space
included for future City Hall expansion just south of the proposed area. He, too,
wasn't sure about the golf museum, but felt a building pad for something should
be in that location. He liked the lake and the pattern of the walkways, and felt
the walkways would be used a lot, especially by the seniors. He wished to see
an historical exhibit of plants, citrus, date palms, etc., and agreed that shade
structures would be nice, especially if situated to allow a view of the
mountains.
Council Member Sniff questioned what the depth of the lake would be and if
fencing would be needed. He also suggested that if palm trees are planted,
they be put in a small area, or perhaps clustered along the entrance from
Avenida La Fonda, along with some citrus trees.
In response to Council Member Sniff, Mr. Doczi advised that the lake will have
a gradual slope and be 6-10 feet deep.
Council Member Sniff questioned what water source would be used, and
reiterated his wish to have an island in the center of the lake. He felt a 40,000
sq. ft. lake would be big enough for a decent sized island.
Mayor Pena pointed out that the concepts should show the existing putting
green at the Senior Center.
Council Member Henderson agreed with looking at putting in the lake before
spending money for turf.
Mr. Doczi advised that the cost estimate for grading and landscaping is
$450,000, and does not include a lake, which is estimated at $150,000.
Approximately $75,000 would be saved by not turfing that area, and there
might be some additional savings in the grading.
Mr. Vogt noted that the cost estimate for geysers in the lake is $75,000, which
would use up the turf savings. He advised that the grading and landscaping,
lake with geysers, and sidewalks total $720,000.
Council Member Henderson questioned the idea of having two geysers and two
bridges over the lake, and asked if the geysers could be pre -plumbed, to which
Mr. Doczi responded that he would check into it.
Council Member Perkins advised that Laguna de la Paz uses the water from their
lake to irrigate the common areas, and felt the City might want to consider
doing the same thing.
City Council Minutes 15 June 29, 1999
Council Member Henderson felt that lighting would be necessary if there's going
to be walkways.
Council Member Sniff wished to see some consideration given to having colored
sidewalks.
Kathryn Hull, member of the Cultural Arts Commission, believed simple is
sometimes better, and that putting too many things in a small area can be
overwhelming. She liked the idea of a focal point for the DeMartino art piece,
but felt plans should be made to place other art sculptures along the walkways.
She liked having a place to sit and enjoy the view of the landscape and
mountains, and the idea of a nature garden. She also wished to see colored and
designed walkways with places along the way to stop and look at something.
She believed that everything could be artistically done, and yet be functional,
and advised that the Commission would like to share some of their ideas with
the architect.
Elaine Reynolds, member of the Cultural Arts Commission, liked the concept
with the art piece near the edge of the lake, rather than on an island, and the
idea of ground art in the sidewalks to appeal to children as well as adults. She
advised that the Commission feels that it's important to plan for the placement
of the art pieces in the beginning of the project.
Mr. Genovese, City Manager, advised that the design will be revised and
brought back to Council based on Council's feedback today.
MOTION - It was moved by Council Member Sniff and seconded by Mayor Pena to
reconsider Business Item No. 2 (Jefferson Street Improvements).
Mayor Pena wished to discuss how to memorialize Mr. Lichliter's offer to pay for the
traffic signals should the roundabout not work, and to change his vote on the project.
Mr. Genovese, City Manager, advised that upon Council's direction staff will pursue
an agreement with KSL and bring it back to Council.
Motion carried with Council Member Perkins voting NO. MINUTE ORDER NO. 99-87.
ATTACHMENT B
September 9, 1999
Consideration of Civic Center Master Plan
Consider the Civic Center Master Plan and provide staff with direction for installation
of potential art features.
There are no direct fiscal implications at this time. The construction funding
remaining for this project is $594,432. Funding is also available in the Infrastructure
Fund and the Arts in Public Places Fund for the artistic features.
Current funding sources are from the Infrastructure Fund and from the Civic Center
Bond proceeds, both sources will allow non -prevailing wage expenditures.
During Fiscal Year 1990/91, TKD Associates completed an overall site plan as part
of the Civic Center Facility Design. During this design, only conceptual ideas were
reviewed for the purpose of developing a fine grading plan for the overall campus site.
During the Fiscal Year 1992/93, the Civic Center was constructed, and the Civic
Center Campus site was graded. The original intent for the Civic Center Campus was
to develop it for future multiple uses as a plaza that would accommodate the La
Quinta Arts Foundation's annual Arts Festival event. In addition to the development
of the plaza, parking lot expansion would be required to support the plaza
development. The future plan identified expansion of the existing parking lot along
Calle Tampico and completion of the parking lot south of the Civic Center along
Avenida La Fonda.
T:\P W DEPT\PROJECTS\97Prjcts\9709CvcCtr\DESIGN\CAC990909.wpd
During the City Council meeting of March 18, 1997, the City Council acknowledged
the need for professional design services, and authorized staff to seek proposals from
qualified consultants to prepare a master plan and construction documents for the
development of the Civic Center Campus.
On April 7, 1998, the City Council awarded a contract to the firm of TKD Associates,
Inc. (TKD) of Palm Springs, to prepare an updated master plan for the Civic Center
Campus.
On June 17, 1998, staff met with TKD Associates' representatives to review
potential improvements and amenities appropriate for the Civic Center Campus. As
a result of the comments generated at the June 17th meeting, another meeting with
the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, City Clerk, and the Department Directors
was conducted on September 23, 1998, to review overall project concepts.
During the Study Session of November 17, 1998, the City Council reviewed potential
conceptual ideas, and provided staff and the Consultant (TKD) with comments to be
incorporated into the master plan. Based upon these comments from the City
Council, TKD presented proposed conceptual plans, and received additional comments
and direction from staff at two staff meetings which were attended by the City
Manager, Assistant City Manager, the City Clerk and the Department Directors on
February 4, 1999 and April 16, 1999.
Master Plan concepts were proposed for the City Council's consideration. The
concept was prepared with an effort to address all of the comments made during the
City Council Study Session on June 29, 1999.
In selecting the master plan concept, the City Council established the building pad
and amenity locations. Phase 1 when completed, will provide grading, irrigation, and
landscaping as well as walkways, a sculpture, history plaza and a lake with the
funding that was budgeted during the Fiscal Year 1997/98 CIP. This will provide
improvements in the near future that will improve the aesthetics of the campus,
provide a walkway connection between the City Hall and the Senior Center and
provide landscaping for dust control. In the future, when other funding sources are
identified, Phases 2 and 3 may proceed with minimal impacts to the improvements
that are completed during Phase 1.
The Master Plan Concept included with this report is the Design Concept sketch. The
lake with the island will have steep side slopes. In order to maintain aquatic life, such
as fish within the proposed lake, a depth of 8-10' is required to maintain the water
at a cool temperature to support life.
Providing for the DeMartino art feature in the center of the island and considering an
average four -foot by four -foot personal space per person, the standing capacity of the
island would be 233 people.
On August 3, 1999, staff received definitive direction from the City Council to
T:\PWDEPT\PROJECTS\97Prjcts\9709CvcCtr\DESIGN\CAC99090g.wpd
proceed with the development of Plans, Specifications and Engineer's Estimate of
probable construction costs.
Staff is now seeking input from the Cultural Arts Commission for potential art work
to be incorporated into the site development, either into Phase I, Phase II or Phase III.
Phase III is considered the phase in which City Hall expansion and or the Library
facility will be constructed or any structures the City Council deems necessary.

A Message From Bob Lynch, CEO of Americans for the Arts
National Arts and Humanities Month is a coast -to -coast celebration of
culture in America. Sponsored by Americans for the Arts — the national organization
working to provide every American with better access to the arts — October provides
all arts organizations the opportunity to highlight the importance of the arts and
humanities in America and the work you do for your local communities. This packet
includes tips and information for your use in promoting awareness of and increasing
participation in the arts and humanities in your area.
National Arts and Humanities Month has four primary goals:
• to provide a local, state and national focus on the arts and humanities through the media for the funding
community, the public and the cultural community;
• to encourage active involvement of arts and humanities organizations nationwide;
• to provide opportunities for elected officials, and business and civic leaders at the local, state and federal
levels to declare their support for the arts and humanities and increase their involvement; and
• to create a highly visible platform for ongoing public awareness about the arts and humanities nationwide
and locally.
What Can You Do?
• Participate in the National Open House on Saturday, October 2nd, to kick off the month -long celebration
with a free performance, behind -the -scenes tour, workshop, concert, festival or other cultural event open to
the public. Find a unique way to engage your community in the arts and humanities that day and invite local
leaders to participate. See suggestion list for 101 Things You Can Do To Celebrate!
• Obtain a proclamation from your mayor. The United States Conference of Mayors passed a resolution
encouraging mayors to officially proclaim National Arts and Humanities Month in their cities and towns.
Talk to your mayor to get him/her and your community officially involved in the celebration. Use the
ATLANTA ARTS ACCORDS or sample mayoral proclamation inside!
• Submit articles and opinion editorials to newspapers and magazines about the value of the arts and
humanities. See sample press release you can adapt and distribute to local media!
What Did you Do?
Please complete the enclosed participation feedback form so we can track events happening nationwide and share
them with media. If you have any questions, contact us at (202)371.2830. We look forward to celebrating with
you and working together to make sure the arts have an impact on people in every corner of America this
October!

National Arts and Humanities Mona. — October 1999
October is National Arts and Humanities Month 1999. We at the National
Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the
Institute of Museum and Library Services welcome this occasion to celebrate the
momentous contributions of the arts and humanities to our nation's living cultural
heritage. This is a special opportunity to honor the many individuals and
organizations whose contributions to the visual and performing arts and to the study
of history, literature and philosophy have made this country a better place to live.
President William J. Clinton, who first declared National Arts and Humanities Month in 1993, said, "The
arts have long been an integral part of America's cultural heritage, encouraging us to gain a deeper
understanding of ourselves and of our society. The arts and humanities empower us to celebrate our
individual identities, while reminding us of the values and commitments that unite us as a country."
As the millennium turns, we recognize that the arts and humanities can help us interpret the past,
understand the present and envision the future. Our national identity reflects the rich and diverse
traditions of this country's many people. Today's investment in cultural creativity will strengthen
tomorrow's communities through contributions to education, aesthetics and the economy. When we
increase access to the arts and humanities, we broaden understanding of the innovative and expressive
spirit that has shaped this nation. Please join us in celebrating National Arts and Humanities Month 1999.

Send a message to your community.1
Submit an op-ed to your local newspaper!
National Arts and Humanities Month is an opportune time to highlight the value of the
arts and humanities in an op-ed, an opinion piece that appears opposite the editorial page
of your local newspaper. An op-ed enables you to raise public awareness of an issue
while educating policy makers and positioning your agency as a resource for the media.
Below you'll find some general guidelines and ideas for op-eds, including a checklist, tips,
recommended talking points and other uses for op-eds. When you do an op-ed, it is
important to underscore your broader message of the value of the arts to your community
and the people in it with examples and statistics of local significance; be sure to address
specific issues and draw attention to the cultural life in your community.
Op -Ed Checklist
• Define the goal of the piece. Are you trying to: educate the public and policy
makers, frame the issue, raise awareness, etc. Use National Arts and Humanities
Month as a jumping-off point for your op-ed, not as the subject.
• Select the best author. Sometimes an op-ed is most effective when it is ghost written
for a prominent business leader or public figure by the person who can provide
comprehensive information on the subject: You!
• Timing. Always consider how the op-ed can by linked to a particular event to
maximize its impact. Remember. Election time is coming! Use National Arts and
Humanities Month as a strategic way to educate public officials about what happens
year round.
• Follow-up. Be sure to reconnect with the editor to see if/when your op-ed may be
used. Offer to tweak it, if necessary to see it in print.
Tips for Authors
• Clear and concise. Your op-ed should be only about 500-800 words, including a
suggested headline and byline, as well as a very short biographical statement about
the author.
• Remember the reader. Keep your sentences short and punchy. Back up general
statements with facts and make the issue relevant to your community with anecdotes
and/or examples.
• an creative! Take a fresh approach. Find a way to engage your reader start to finish.
Be
• Timeline. Newspapers take up to two weeks to publish an op-ed. Be patient, but
keep in touch to find out the status of the piece once you've submitted it.
Other Uses for Op-Eds
• Letters to the editor. If the paper doesn't run your op-ed, feel free to resubmit it as a
letter to the editor by paring it down to about 300 words.
• Press releases. Adapt the op-ed for a press release for reporters and talk
show/public affairs program directors.
• Position statements. Use your piece as the framework for a position paper to
distribute to key decision -makers and other audiences as appropriate.

ITEM TITLE: Artist Partnership Day
RECOMMENDATION:
As deemed appropriate by the Commission.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
As part of the Americans for the Arts National Arts and Humanities Month, the Art In
Public Places Commission offered, in October 1997, an Artist Partnership Day. This
day was designed to bring local artists into the La Quinta High School and Middle
School to partner students with artists. This was a successful program and was
offered again in October 1998 by the Cultural Arts Commission.
The Commission was responsible for arranging the artists and their supplies while staff
arranged the schedule with the schools. Due to the timing of the classes offered at
the schools, the event took place over two days.
The response from the teachers and students was overwhelmingly positive and the
artists felt the program was well received. The artists were treated to lunch with the
Commissioners as a token of appreciation.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Commission are:
1. Offer the Artist Partnership Day in October 1999; or
2. Do not offer the Artist Partnership Day; or
3. Provide staff with alternate direction.

CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION MEETING
DATE: September 7, 1999
ITEM: Consideration of Relocation of Art Piece on the Bear Creek Trail
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the relocation of the art piece on the Bear Creek Trail.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
On July 20, 1999, the City Council authorized the design and location of the Bear
Creek Trail art piece, as proposed by the La Quinta Arts Foundation (Attachment A)
and the Cultural Arts Commission. The location identified in the Staff Report of July
20, 1999 was "approximately 500 feet from the entrance to the trail, at the
southwest corner of Calle Tecate and Avenida Madero." This site had been identified
when the original concept was proposed for the Trail in 1996.
Once the design was approved by the City Council on July 20,1999 representatives
from the La Quinta Arts Foundation, the Community Services Department and the
artist met at the site to discuss the final details for placement.
The location identified for the previous concept is a large clear area, set back from the
road and obscured from the street by a berm. The original concept for the trail, was
an art piece that was 100 feet in diameter and approximately six feet high. The artist
believes that the size of the approved piece (eight feet in diameter and four feet tall)
would be out of place in the previously approved location.
The proposed location for the art piece is directly across from the shade structure,
water fountain, bench and bicycle rack at the corner of Calle Tecate and Avenida
Madero, approximately 20 feet from the road, in the area just north of the start of the
trail.
The art piece will enhance the trail by providing an entrance statement and will give
a historical perspective of the area. This piece will not obscure views or interfere with
the maintenance of the piece. By relocating the art piece closer to the beginning of
the trail, the construction and installation of the piece will be more efficient. Included
are pictures of the proposed location (Attachment B).
S:\Community Services\CultureComm\CACRPT.205.wpd
Should the Public Works Department decide to move the rest stop, per Council
direction, the art piece should be located near the rest stop. This decision will be
made by City Council by September 7, 1999.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Commission include:
1. Authorize the relocation of the art piece on the Bear Creek Trail; or
2. Do not authorize the relocation of the art piece on the Bear Creek Trail; or
3. Provide staff with alternative direction.

3. CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF DESIGN AND LOCATION OF THE BEAR
CREEK CHANNEL ART PIECE AS PROVIDED BY THE LA QUINTA ARTS
FOUNDATION.
Ms. Horvitz, Community Services Director, advised that the La Quinta Arts
Foundation is proposing an art piece for installation along the Bear Creek Bike
Path, and she noted that the Council's previous concerns were taken into
consideration in this design.
Jana Barbier, P. O. Box 777, Education Director of La Quinta Arts Foundation,
presented a model of the proposed art piece consisting of a concrete bear on a
base of tiles opposite a fish trap. She advised that the art piece was designed
by local artists, Terry Hays and Mike Teague, and is intended to give an
historical interpretation of what is in the desert, adding that children will be
used to help design the tiles.
In response to Council Member Henderson, Ms. Barbier advised that the
historical information written on the tiles will be readable from outside the art
piece.
Council Member Sniff felt the proposed design is more appropriate than the
previously -proposed design, and suggested adding shade, water, and seating at
some time in the future.
In response to Council Member Adolph, Ms. Barbier advised that the art piece
will be reinforced and built to City Code. Children may want to sit on the rocks,
but it's not likely to appeal to adults, and walking on the base will not have any
effect on it.
In response to Council Member Adolph, Ms. Horvitz advised that the art piece
will be located near the bike path at the southwest corner of Avenida
Montezuma and Calle Tecate, and there will be a rest stop nearby with water,
shade, and seating.
In response to Council Member Adolph, Ms. Barbier advised that they intend to
have other art pieces along the bike path, but it's not set at this point.
Council Member Adolph wished to see a plan developed for the entire bike path
for everyone to follow so that it will dove -tail together.
Council Member Sniff felt that the Council's intent has always been to have
several rest stops and art pieces along the bike path.
