BUSINESS ITEM A. oll oti i �— fro ra 4 Sep QuiK T4 oF�ti0 CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION MEETING DATE: January 11, 2001 ITEM TITLE: La Quinta Court Artwork RECOMMENDATION: As deemed appropriate by the Cultural Arts Commission. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: At the November 9 Cultural Arts Commission meeting, the Commission reviewed a proposal by Mr. Dale Frank regarding a water feature and art piece for the southeast corner of Washington and Hwy. 111. This is provided as Attachment A. The Commission directed staff to contact Mr. Frank regarding this project and invite him and the artist he would like to commission for this project to the December 14, 2000 Commission meeting. Mr. Frank attended the Commission meeting to answer any questions the Commission had regarding the art piece. The artist, Mr. Bruce Beasley was unable to attend the meeting. However, Mr. Beasley assured Mr. Frank that the art piece being proposed is an original art piece for the City of La Quinta. Mr. Frank has submitted a revised concept of the project for the Commission's review. The water feature has been removed and replaced with a terraced landscaped planter and retaining Nall, as provided in Attachment B. The Commission made a recommendation for City Council consideration that the art piece being proposed by Mr. Frank be included in the La Quinta Court project without the water feature. The City Council reviewed the Commission's recommendation regarding the art work for the La Quinta Court Project at their January 2, 2001 meeting. The Council expressed concern that the corner in which this art work would be placed is the significant entrance to the City and the art work should be reflect such. It was recommended by the Council that a water feature be incorporated into the project. With Mr. Frank's original submission, a terraced water feature was included in the proposal. The Commission may wish to reconsider the original concept and make suggestions for City Council consideration. S:\Community Serv1ces\CAComm\CACRPT.242.wpd The Commission received several water feature submittals for the Civic Center Campus. The geyser type water features that were presented for the Civic Center Campus include: ■ Bouncing Sphere by Robert Ellison as Attachment C The cost for this project, as presented by Mr. Ellison for the Civic Center Campus is $1 25,000 - $150,000. A marquette is not available at this time for the Commission's review. ■ Gift From the Creator by Johnny Contreras as Attachment D The cost for this project, as presented by Mr. Contreras for the Civic Center Campus is $81,000. A marquette of this piece will be available for the Commission's review. ■ Butterflies or Birds by Bill Ware as Attachment E The cost for this project, as presented by Mr. Ware for the Civic Center Campus is $47,000 for seven butterflies or birds. A marquette of this piece will be available for the Commission's review. ■ Waterlily Pads with Dragonflies by Bill Ware as Attachment F The cost for this project, as presented by Mr. Ware for the Civic Center Campus is $47,000 for three waterlilies and three dragonflies. A marquette of this piece will be available for the Commission's review. ■ Tree of Life by Miguel and Carlos De La Torres as Attachment G The cost for this project, as presented by the De La Torres for the Civic Center Campus is $100,650. A marquette is not available at this time for the Commission's review. ■ Palm Tree by Tom McGraw as Attachment H The cost for this project, as presented by Mr. McGraw for the Civic Center Campus is $35,000. A marquette of this piece will be available for the Commission's review. The Commission may wish to recommend for City Council consideration one of the above mentioned geyser type elements to be included in the terraced water feature for the La Quinta Court project. Another option the Commission may wish to consider is recommending to the City Council that an RFP for a water feature for this project be issued. This option would require time to issue the RFP, time for the artists to respond and then presentations to the City Council for consideration. S:\Community Services\CAComm\CACRPT.242.wpd ( / i_, ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives available to the Commission are: Approve the terraced water feature with an art piece for the La Quinta Court project and direct staff to forward the recommendation for City Council consideration with a total appropriation from the Art in Public Places fund in a determined amount; or 2. Approve the terraced water feature and a previously submitted geyser water feature included as an art piece for the La Quinta Court project and direct staff to forward the recommendation for City Council consideration with a total appropriation from the Art in Public Places fund in a determined amount; or 3. Direct staff to present an RFP for a terraced water feature and geyser type art piece for the La Quinta Court project for City Council consideration; or 4. Do not approve the art piece for the La Quinta Court project ; or 5. Provide staff with alternate direction. Dodie Horvitz, Com nity Services Director Attachments: A.

Box 1504 78-495 Calle Tampico La Quinta, CA 92253 RE: Civic Center Campus Artwork Projects Dear Selection Committee Members: Thank you for the opportunity to present my credentials for the Civic Center Campus Artwork Projects. Enclosed please find 10 slides with slide list, resume, references, a preliminary sketch with a written description, proposal including maintenance, SASE and this letter of interest. My art experience spans over three decades and includes installations at San Francisco Civic Center Plaza, Oakland City Center, City of Mountain View City Hall, U.S. Dept. Of Energy Fermi -Lab and numerous other venues. I have successfully completed commissions for Sonoma County, Santa Rosa, CA; Municipality of Anchorage, Anchorage, AK; State of Rhode Island & Providence Plantations, Providence, RI; and many other municipal and private settings. I would be delighted for the opportunity to work with you in developing an appropriate solution for this project. The sculptures in the submitted slides share similar characteristics the sculpture with water feature proposed for your site. They show a variety of forms, scale, color and surface treatment, physical relationships and other content statements. The pieces shown are large and easily seen and recognized from a distance. The sculpture I produce is colorful, joyous, animated and visually interactive. My goal is to design and produce artwork that can be enjoyed by all members of the community. I have developed a portfolio of sculptural solutions (form and format) and an enthusiasm for developing new and specific solutions to unique situations. I believe that `successful' public art is about creating a sense of place. The artwork will be physically and intellectually accessible and be integral to its site. In addition, it should integrate with the work of other design • professionals and be of the highest quality to assure perpetuity and safety. The artwork will also speak to a multi- dimensional society that is specific to La Quinta. Most importantly, the artwork should serve the public by enhancing the quality of life; contributing to La Quinta's cultural excellence and reputation. In past public art projects, I have tried to design artwork that is comfortable and inspiring. Artwork should reach all people, not just those who visit galleries and museums. Art should positively affect everyone's everyday life. As a creator of public art, I must be an advocate for the community, and I have a moral responsibility to produce an atmosphere of mutual understanding. Public art is most successful through collaboration. In the past I have collaborated with Mr. Lennon Hamilton, architectural engineer and Berkeley resident, on multiple projects. Mr. Hamilton and Mr. David Presbrey (archhect)and Mr. Dennis O'Day (engineer) structurally engineered 'Time Wave', a 30 foot tall clock tower with a four foot square base able to withstand 100 mph winds. Mr. Dale Porath (architect), and Mr. John McGee (engineer) assisted in another clock tower for Anchorage, Alaska where we had to deal with such issues as freezing temperatures, permafrost and requirements of the local school system. I have also worked with Mr. Joe Gaffney (engineer) and Mr. Donald Dakin, (architectural engineer) on the requirements for "Sun Zone" which was installed in front of the Sonoma County Administration Building. At this site, the landscaping, lighting, and concrete walkways have been a large part of this project. 'Sun Zone' has a permanent shadow below it cast into the concrete. For most projects, I have attended city council meetings, neighborhood meetings and been available for discussions. I am willing to revise a design to address safety, aesthetic, or other issues. I enjoy working as a team with architects, landscape architects, planners, contractors and engineers. The process is familiar to me; from concept to maquette, to revision, to implementation and installation. All projects have been complete4on schedule and within budget. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Rout W. Ellison Encl. RWE/ab Robert W. Ellison, Sculptor 6480 Eagle Ridge Rd., Penngrove, CA 94951 Tel. &.

Ellison � Project Description The enclosed sketch is a very preliminary concept solution for the sculptural water feature for the Civic Center Campus Artwork Project. The imagery of this work, is that of a bouncing sphere which has be centrifugally spun off a large sweeping ovoid form. The curvilinear flight path is traced as it bounces across the surface of the water. This spherical form is not unlike the golf balls seen on many of La Quinta's world class golf courses. The difference with this sculptural rendition is that instead of the normal terminal "plunk" outcome, this ball magically bounces across the surface of the water and continues... sort of a "golfer's dream"! It will have significant presence and relate to the scale of the surrounding area. This will be an intriguing and easily recognizable landmark. The format of this work allows the water to be pumped up to a chosen height, and sprayed out of the sphere where it cascades down to the water's surface. This achieves the verticality of a geyser in an alternative way. The sphere itself would be a "dandelion" type fountain. This would create a multifaceted ball, similar to the dimples of a golf ball. This proposed piece is approximately 25 feet long and 14 feet high. The circular form is depicted on the shoreline (either the mainland or the island), but could occur in the water as w The bouncing traces are across the surface of the water. The materials for this artwork would be fully welded color coated steel, stainless steel, concrete, copper pipe and all appropriate pump and filter equipment. The steel surfaces will be ground smooth, primered with epoxy and color coated with catalyzed urethane. The surface treatment is the same coating used on offshore oil rigs and tankers, and is smooth and inviting to the touch. It does not corrode in acid pollution, defies scratches and chips, and is generally considered to be "maintenance freer. The foundation will be either concrete piers or driven pilings, depending on the recommendation of engineering studies and soils reports. Maintenance requirements will be fully addressed when the final format is selected, but should be no greater than those of any pumped water feature. It will be designed for seismic safety and other requirements can be easily incorporated. It is non -toxic and environmentally sound. The quality of workmanship, the design, and the strict engineering standards of the artwork assure public safety and durability of the work. The budget for this work will be a minimum of $125,000 and a maximum of $1501000. A detailed budget and description of the foundation will be presented along with the maquette if this proposal is selected. All fabrication is done in house, ensuring high quality workmanship and the best possible value for the price. 40 Robert W.

I worked with Robert on a large 1% for Art commission for the Anchorage School District and everyone felt it went extremely well. The large, 30 foot high clocktower is the tallest and one of the favorite 1% for Art pieces in our collection. This piece, with its' accompanying interior sculpture (steel floor piece with suspended elements) was selected from a national competition with three other finalists. Robert's models were superior and he immediately comprehended the concepts the identified by the school. The quality of his finished work is excellent:. He has extremely high standards and it's obvious in his work, he is a perfectionist. Large, painted, steel pieces with clockworks tied to existing systems and massive concrete foundations, are not produced and installed without some hitches and Robert was delightful to work with throughout the entire process. He approached the tense moments, which had nothing to do with his work, with problem -solving and a wonderful sense of humor. He was patient with the tiresome bureaucratic process and he didn't wince too often when he received Alaskan sized bills for things that were out of his control. Robert was dependable and I could always rely on receiving information when he promised. This is important when our installation period is only 4 month long. I enjoyed working with Robert and I would enjoy working with him again in the public art program. I would give him the highest possible recommendation. Please call me (907) 343-6473 if you have any questions about the quality of his work or his ability to begin a project and bring it to completion.

O. Box 85 Vallev Center, CA 92082 (760) 749-655 7 I I Hello Hawwka, JOHNNY BEAR I would like to begin by saying what an honor it is to participate in this process. I am a Kumeyaav Native residing on San Pasqual Reservation and my son is 1 Cahuilla, which in turn allows me to be very familiar with the areas oral and physical history. With this said, I would like to propose an art piece that is not only esthetically pleasing but with cultural integrity as it would be a representative of all that I am as a Native American' Artist bringing both honor and pride for the City of La Quinta. 1 1 1 1 i 0 C My prior experience as a commercial artist for the City of Santa Fe Springs has allowed me the appreciation for the process the city goes through when commissioning artists for city projects. During the process I was able to work with all departments of the city staff, city architect, planning department for permits, engineering with drawings and maintenance for care. .The reason for having a General Contracting licensee is to pull permits and know the_ process first hand, understand building codes and application of materials. _Being a General Contractor was an integral part of this art project for the City,of Be - Springs. From the first moment of visiting the sight I felt that my preliminary',thoiigNts, were right on target the area is draped with mountains and canyons which` ma perfect accent for an elevated life size piece, which would be ascending fr mountain top. I hope to depict a particular ascend "coming down" in the area, rea r' the base of the piece. At this point I envision an elevated base protruding\fro the lake below much like the Areas Mountains, with contouring lines accen the base into the figure. With the foundation base melting into the bronze 1399 above I hope to create a change in texture consistent with the peaks of the aid ridges. The figure would be a Cahuilla women accenting like the water from t% clouds to the earth down the streams to the valley, wind would be obvious in the movement of her hair and dress, she would have a Cahuilla fashioned baskei which would be distributing water to the area, represent of a GIFT FROM THE CREATOR!

During those times of self-examination, he remembered how he used to tell his friends in construction that he wanted to be artist, yet he never tried. This time he would. "I knew it would be part of the healing process, part of con- fronting the things that made me drink," he said. "I started carving." Sobering up can leave a drinker with certain cravings, and Contreras said he answered those with coffee. The coffee shop he frequented, the Pan- nikin in Encinitas, happened to be above the San Dieguito Art Guild's gallery. Contreras met people at the gallery, and they talked him into bringing some of his work to the art sales the guild holds on a lawn outside the Pannikin. His first piece, a portrait re- lief carved in canary wood, sold for $75. The same customer also bought one of his wooden boxes for $35. It had been about four months since he took his last drink, and Contreras was begin- ning to realize his dream. About eight months ago, he stopped by Robert Freeman's art gallery in Rincon for more encouragement. "He just came by the studio one day and said he wanted to be an artist," the 58-year-old Freeman said. The newcomer quickly im- pressed the seasoned artist. "What struck me about John- ny was how fast he is," he said. "I think it comes from his con- struction work." Contreras said when he used to do construction, he was al- ways saying the buildings should have more designs, but he was just a worker without control. He started meeting with Indi- an artists from other tribes in powwows. One was in Santa Fe Springs, a town of only 16,000 dolphin, and Freeman devel- oped the sketch more. They then made a small model of what the sculpture would look like, and the city awarded him the work. Once the work is completed, Contreras said he will take_it to a foundry in Oxnard to be cast in bronze. The project has in- spired Contreras to think about opening his own foundry some day, and for now he will contin- ue as an artist while operating his own construction business, Native Designs. His quick journey from con- struction worker to commis- sioned sculptor seems to have been~ helped by a number of co- incidences, from being in the right place at the right time to meeting the right people. But Contreras believes there are no coincidences, only interlocking moments that are part of a greater plan. One of those more poignant moments for Contreras came while havisig dinner with the family of the girl who will be memorialized. He told the fami- but very supportive of public art. It was there that he met Mar- garet Hammond, the park direc- tor in charge of the land where the powwow was held. "I told her all my stuff has feelings," he recalled. "It's a way of expressing myself" Contreras soon learned -that Hammond also is the city's di- rector of public art, and she told him the city was looking for an artist to create a memorial to a city employee's daughter who had died of leukemia. Hammond already was taken with Contreras' spiritual connec- tion to his work, and she became more so when he talked about the connection Californians have with the ocean. The girl had a fondness for dolphins, and Contreras told Hammond how dolphins are very important in his people's tradition, as they help those who have passed away on their jour- ney to the other side. Contreras sketched an idea for a sculpture of a girl and ly that he was considering using girl's mother then told him d the face of his niece, Christie, also was the name of her dau for the girl in the statue.

He has adapted traditional American Indian art for his sculpture, including a bronze statue for the city of Santa Fe Springs, his first commis- sioned work "I've been working 'round the clock," he said during a break in preparing pieces for the fair. "I'll have three works ready, each representing some aspect of life. "All my pieces have feelings. It's a way of expressing myself. I work every day, every chance I get to do something. Daybreak reminds me to get the most out of every day." Contreras recently debuted as an artist, but even before he actually tried creating a work of art, he was thinking in artistic terms. He worked in con- struction, and often told other work- ers and his foreman that the build- ings they were erecting needed more design. The journey from construction to art took a while and several turns: drinking, domestic prob- lems, a divorce. As part of his per- . sonal recovery, Contreras concen- trated on art and began carving in wood. When his first piece sold, he spent more time carving and began meeting with other American Indian artists at . pow wows and fairs. Contreras formed his own construc- tion company — Native Designs — to make a living while he creates sculp- tures. The commission also affected his art; he switched from working in wood to bronze. = "And marble," he added. "The pieces for the fair are in alabaster, a form of marble. `Rising Sun' is how we see the dawn, looking east. It is a head, about one foot in diameter, with wood around the face for hair. It represents the Native American awakening. "I've been working on `Mother Earth' a year now. It's one of my larger pieces, 10-by-14-inches. The form is a butterfly in jhe rain, which was harder to carve than most of my pieces. "To me itrepresents everlasting life. The butterfly has a short life, but it is so beautiful, it gives us hope."

I would like to keep. -the patinas on the darker shade side so that there will not be any major color changes through out the life with the piece. The exterior sculpture would have some changes from the initial patina. I find that if one anticipates this with correct initial colors, the changes minimum.

I am offering the following preliminary thoughts for your review and consideration. GEYSER WATER FEATURE r One approach to integrating art with the geyser would be to work with the natural movement of the water (ripples). Seven large, appropriate to.scale, butterflies or birds that come out,of the water at least 8'. Refer to sketch "A" and "B". Another idea would be to create three large sculptures of water lily pads with cut out butterfly wings and/or dragonflies. Refer to sketch i1CiI All of the water sculptures would be constructed of maintenance free aluminum and stainless steel. I would work closely with the lake and geyser builder to insure proper anchorage of the artwork. This work sets a dialogue with the environment and engages the viewer in.a sense of place. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AREA A somewhat contemporary freestanding bronze sculpture reflecting the La Quinta mountain range. Designed and presented in a way that allows the viewer to walk around the art and read names of selected honorees, or possibly stated history La Quinta facts, such as, "Gem of the Desert" founded in 1982. This* can be done with the use of water-jlet or laser cutting process. My design would include some bolted panels in such a way that they could be unbolted for future cutting of names and then put back into place. The opportunity exist to use art to inspire, welcome, and educate its users. Refer to sketch "D". The enclosed ideas and examples of my work will hopefully generate Sincerely, L1 Arm �x> William Ware E�q-j 3S/0- SOZ�,I 73- 69 ! MASSWJ ST • PAS M DESERT CA • 92260 ; VA A9M. 1� ' Bill Ware was born in Indianapolis, Indiana,. where his artistic talent was Doted by his third grade teacher, whom Bill learned when he met her twenty years later, had kept his sketches among her personal mementos. A self-taught artist, Bill attended Baylor University where he was a pre-med major. However, his first love was arc and his best. marks were in illustrating for Biology and Physiology. Bill's commercial art experience began in 1964 in Newport Beach, California as an art director for an art magazine, OrAmp County Illusbated. A job illustrating for a tad book publishing company in New York City provided funds to travel to Palma de Mallorca, Spain in 1966. While in New York city, Bill did watercolors based on city street scenes. In Spain he continued painting while working as an illustrator for Spanish magazines. In Spain, Bill was inspired by the works of Miro whom he met while there. As an illustrator and cover artist for the Saturday Evening Post, Bill improved his craft while producing many fine works. As an independent artist in Indiana, Bill found success and recognition when the Indiana Convention Center commissioned him to paint a mural. This led to a commission from Indiana bell, where he produced paintings of Indiana scenes for an entire high-rise over a one year period One of these paintings won an award and became part of a touring show of corporate art, hanging in the exhibit between Norman Rockwell and N.C. Wyeth. 71ougb Bill's background is in painting, his desire to be involved in Ave in PmUi Pjwcx.s,, pushed him into creating sculptures and relief pieces using non-ferrous metals. This medium opened up many occasions to work with architects, city planners, and various committees' through the building process. Bill has designed, created and installed numerous two and three dimensional works for private and public settings.

BUSINESS ITEM B. z 5-- OF C1�F CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION MEETING DATE: January 11, 2001 ITEM TITLE: Map of Public Art Work RECOMMENDATION: As deemed appropriate by the Cultural Arts Commission. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: At the December 14, 2000, Cultural Arts Commission meeting, the Commissioners discussed the possibility of producing a map of public art located in the City of La Quinta. A brief history of the past actions of the Art in Public Places Commission (APP) on this subject include: Fiscal Year 1996/97 Budget included a line item with an amount of up to $8,000 for a brochure displaying the Civic Center Art purchases. The APP Commission sent out a Request for Proposal for bids on the brochure. On October 7, 1996, the APP Commission reviewed the four proposals and also determined that the City's public art should be included in the brochure, as provided in Attachment A. The total amount requested by the Commission for the brochure was $1 6,000. At the November 5, 1996, City Council meeting, it was determined that the amount requested for the brochure, as represented by the bid proposals, was excessive. The City Council minutes from the November 5 meeting are provided as Attachment B. The Fiscal Year 2000/01 Budget does not contain funds for a Art in Public Places brochure. Should the Commission desire, this task can be discussed during the Commission's work plan and a specific amount be requested in the Fiscal Year 2001 /02 budget for this project.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: The sum of $8,000 was budgeted (101-401-703-662) in the 1996/97 Fiscal Year Budget for a Civic Center Art Purchase Brochure. The additional $8,000, requested for aproval pursuant to this report, would be appropriated from the APP Fund (701 - 000-255-210) for a combined total of $16,000 for the total project. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: The Fiscal Year 1996/97 Budget allocates up to $8,000 to produce a brochure displaying the Civic Center Art purchases. Staff has met with four Valley firms and received bids for a brochure that would be suitable to hand out displaying the Civic Center Artwork, its location in City Hall, a description of the artwork and a short biography of the artist. The brochure will be available as a handout at City Hall as well as the Chamber and any other function that staff would attend to publicize La Quinta; In the process of designing the brochure, it became apparent that this would be a good medium to also advertise our Public Art Program as well. Therefore, staff presented the information to the Art in Public Places Commission (APP) for their review and approval. The Commission unanimously approved the request at their meeting of October 7, 1 9,96 (Attachment 1). (-'c1n.(X)6 The single brochure will contain the existing and approved Public Art projects and all of the Civic Center artwork. In order to save on costs, once the brochure is completed, yearly inserts can be added to keep the brochure current for a period of five years. At the end of five years, the brochure will be reprinted and possibly reformatted. The designs will be presented to the APP Commission who will make a recommendation to the City Council for final design authorization to enter into a contract with the selected firm. FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: The options available to the City Council are: 1 . Approve the recommendation as submitted; 2. Deny the request; or 3. Provide direction to staff.

City of La Quinta Art Brochure Chairman Walling asked staff to inform the Commission abort the Art Brochure. Staff stated that they had been working with five firms who had submitted proposals for a brochure on the Civic Center Artwork. Upon reviewing the final selections, staff was asked to include the Public Art artwork as well. Before submitting the changes to the firms, staff was asking the APP to review the proposals submitted. 2. Council Member Sniff stated he had a concern that certain areas that contain public art might not always be available. Commissioner Klein stated this might be an opportunity to include other entities in La Quinta who have art projects. Discussion followed as to how inclusive you should make the brochure. Should a City brochure support private enterprise. If one is included they all must be. 3. Commissioners asked staff how the brochures would be distributed. Staff stated theti would be given out at conventions, as well as handed out by the Chamber and other organiations. 4. Council Member Sniff suggested they be given out to the students when tours are given of the City Hall. The artwork itself could be given as a tour. 3. Staff asked the Commissioners for their recomendation . Commissioners discussed the advantages of the different brochure designs. 4. Council Member Sniff encourage the Commissioners to have art events at City Hall. Perhaps once a month. Have several different kinds of art events. Events that could be for the the children as well as involveing the children. 5. Chairman Walling asked the Commissioner why they preferred the poster design. Commissioner Shamis stated it gave the children something put it up and always look - at it. as well as being a good exchange with other cities. Posters are out there to be - appreciated. It would be out there to show off La Quinta. As the artwork grows, the poster could be expanded and posters have been successful. 6. Commissioner Klein suggested making the poster foldable as well and have it function as both. 7. Chairman Walling stated the poster would be a good way to make the public aware of the art program. The poster would get it out more than the brochure would. It could be posted in a lot of places. %PP10 4 ATTACHMENT B City Council Minutes 7 November 5, 1996 3. CONSIDERATION OF RECOMMENDATION OF THE ART IN PUBLIC PLACES COMMISSION TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $8,000 TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH BUDGETED FUNDS TO PRODUCE A BROCHURE FOR THE CIVIC CENTER ARTWORK AND PUBLIC ART PROGRAM. Mr. Herman, Community Development Director, advised that the Arts in Public Places (APP) Commission has recommended the appropriation of $8,000 from the APP Fund to be used in conjunction with $8,000 that is currently allocated in the budget for the production of a Civic Center Artwork Brochure. The additional funds will be used to photograph approved and/or proposed art sculptures throughout the City. The brochure will be produced after new art is purchased in March 1997 and further art purchases will be depicted on inserts within the brochure during the next five years at which time it will be reprinted. In response to Council Member Sniff, Mr. Herman advised that there are less than 45 art pieces/public art. All of the art pieces in the Civic Center are accessible to the public except those located in the Administration Offices. Council Member Sniff felt that $16,000 was a significant amount of money to produce a brochure. Mr. Herman advised that the average cost estimate for printing 5,000 brochures of the Civic Center art only is $10,000 and they hope to include all of the City's artwork for $161000. Council Member Sniff felt that it's a nice idea, but was concerned about spending so much money on it and asked how they would be distributed. Mr. Herman advised that they would be placed in the Chamber of Commerce, museum, library, and City Hall for distribution. Council Member Henderson felt that a video would be better since it could be edited as new art is purchased each year and she felt that .the funds could be used to produce the Skins Game marketing video. She wished to see the artwork catalogued and videotaped. Ed Kibbey, 78-620 Sanita Drive, representing the Desert Chapter of the Building Industry Association, read a portion of the APP enacting ordinance and pointed out that APP funds must be spent for art pieces and related installation costs, not brochures or videos of artwork.
