DATE: December 18, 2003
SUBJECT: Laser Fireworks Information
I have contacted two companies willing to work with us on a Laser Fireworks
show. Here is a list of current prices and information.
General Information
We will need a white backdrop approximately 18' — 20' in diameter. We may
rent this from the company or we can use the side of a building, but it must be
white. We also need to obtain FFA approval to have the show. We need to
provide the conductor with a platform. The platform needs to be at least 10 feet
above all of the spectators' heads.
Both companies are able to provide a multiple laser show, animation, fog, music,
and original fireworks with the show.
Lantis
Company is out of Utah. They are willing to come out to La Quinta and set up a
laser fireworks show. Show length: 10 —15 minutes. The cost: $5,000 -
$10,000.

PUBLIC HEARING:
The Art in Public Places Ordinance is provided as Attachment A.
Attachment B provides the form described in section 2.65.070 (B) which states that
the project applicant must complete an Art Application at the time of the building
permits are issued. If the developer elects to place a piece of art at the project, the
Cultural Arts Commission will review the art piece and the City Council approve the
art piece before the project is sent to the Planning Commission.
In the past, applicants were allowed to pay the fee and then submit their proposal for
artwork after the project was under construction. However, the process in which the
developer submits the art work prior to Planning Commission review would result in
a much more cohesive project, as the art work is an integral part of the project.
Staff will ensur this process is followed when projects are submitted for consideration

Implementation and Administration of this Chapter.
2.65.010 Intent and purpose.
A. This Chapter may be known and cited as the "La Quinta Art in Public
Places Program." The City of La Quinta has developed a nationwide reputation
through the annual La Quinta Arts Festival and other artistic events, and attracts
thousands of visitors every year to view and purchase art and crafts in the City. The
public health, safety and welfare, the preservation and enhancement of property values
and economic vitality, as well as the popularity and prosperity of the community, are
dependent upon and enhanced by visually pleasing and high quality public art.
B. The stated goal of the Cultural Resource Element of the General Plan
is to provide "enrichment of the community by adequate cultural and recreational
facilities and activities." To implement this goal, the General Plan further states that
"the cultural resources of a city encompass those facilities and programs which
refresh, enhance or re-create people's bodies and spirits". Community parks,
recreational activities, historic resources, library facilities and art festivals are included
in this classification. The Art in Public Places Program is intended to achieve this
purpose by providing visual art throughout the City.
C. Residential and commercial development throughout the City will
benefit from public art, both financially and visually. All property within the City will
prosper through the enhancement and preservation of property values that will result
from the location of visual art throughout the City. As such, the cost of providing
Ordinance 317 Final.

public art should be shared. This program is a means of achieving a balanced
responsibility of providing a cultural enhancement.
D. Therefore, the City Council declares that art work in its various
physical forms displayed in public venues in the City constitute public facilities of
benefit to the citizens and visitors to the City and in the interest of the public health,
safety and welfare, it is the policy of the City to require the acquisition and installation
of public art works as provided in this Chapter. (Ord. 173 section 1 (part), 1990)
2.65.020 Findings
The City Council makes the following findings in connection with the adoption of this
chapter:
A. There is a reasonable relationship between the acquisition of Art work
through the Art in Public Places Program and the projects on which the fees provided
by this Chapter shall be imposed because:
1. Art work will enhance the real property values within the City generally,
including the developments on which the fees will be imposed, and
2. Art works will, by enhancing the aesthetic values of the City as a
whole, making the City an attractive place to live and work, thereby making the City
more vital; and
B. There is a reasonable relationship between the need for cultural amenities
such as art and the developments upon which the fees provided for herein shall be
imposed because the development of real property generally necessitates that
additional costs be incurred and amenities be provided to provide for harmonious and
aesthetically pleasing environments created by the development; and
C. The amount of the fee is reasonably related to the Art Works to be
acquired because the amount of the fee increases as the value of the development
upon which the fee is imposed rises, so there will be direct and proportionate
relationship between the size of the development and the quantity or quality of Art
Work, which an be purchased from the fees generated by the development upon which
the fee shall be imposed; (Ord. 173 Section 1(part), 1990)
2.65.030 Definitions.

C. "Art Site" means any site, upon which an Art Work is to be located, on

Re: Cultural Arts Commission Letter of Interest
Dear Sirs and Madam:
. In 1993, when I first moved to La Quints from Pacific Palisades and Washington,
D. C., I applied for a position with the Cultural Arts Commission My application was
untimely, and correctly so. At the time, I was undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
Last year, when a position opened again, I considered reapplying. However, I was
involved in the care giving and eventual demise of my husband.
It is my distinct pleasure to now tender my application and resume for your
consideration. as a Cultural Arts Commissioner.
Art has long been a passion of mine as a collector, benefactor, muralist, ballerina
with the Chicago Ballet Company, author, and poet Through my educational and life
experiences, I have witnessed the beauty in the eyes of our youth as we open them to a
world of color, movement, words, and drama.
In the words of Johann Wolgang von Goethe, "One ought, every day, to hear a
song, read a fine poem, and, if possible, to speak a few reasonable words."
This is one of the many facets for which the City of IA Quinta is known as the
"Gem of the Desert." It would be my honor to give to the community that has so
embraced me, through service as a commissioner.
Thank you for your consideration
Sincerely,
Andrea Spirto

Dear City Council,
BOB LEIDNER
56498 Palms Drive
La Quinta, CA 92253
760 564-4427
Thank you for this opportunity to apply for an appointment to the La Quinta Community
Services Commission. During this brief letter, I hope to express why I would be a good
candidate for the appointment.
Although a long time visitor to La Quinta and the Coachella Valley, it was only within
the past few months that my wife, Sue, and I became residents. It had always been my
dream, upon retirement from the corporate world, to live in an area like La Quinta, open a
small consulting practice, and to be able to become active in local government and civic
concerns.
On August 30, 2003 I retired as President/Chief Financial Officer of Regency Lighting
after twenty-one years of service. Under my leadership, Regency Lighting was taken
-plighting distributor -based uys .to- one of d e reuogntzx 7e�ers in
the industry with five locations situated across the United States. In addition, with my
financial knowledge and proven ability tofind solutions to the daily problems that
businesses face today, Regency Lighting had twenty-one consecutive years of growth and
profitability during my tenure.
Although my position at. Regency Lighting was extremely time -intensive, I did find time
to get involved with a number of organizations, mostly industry -related I have attached
a list of industry and civic affiliates for your review.
My experience and approach, both as a businessman and as a volunteer, have been based
upon the same principles. In order to make the proper recommendations, I believe you
must:
• understand the ultimate goals
• envision the rewards of accomplishing them
• realize the consequences of not achieving the goals
• acknowledge the possible obstacles
recommend the possible solutions
Lastly, your recommendations must be made with a high degree of integrity and must be
in the best interest of those you are serving.
If selected to the Commission, I am confident that my solution -based management
background and my desire to be an active participant in La Quinta's future will make me
a valuable addition.
Thank
you r yo consideration.
