Purpose of the Program
Closely following state guidelines, the Art in Public Places (APP) program was established
in 1990 by the La Quinta City Council. The City Council has a strong commitment to
balance development with cultural and artistic enhancements. In a recent community
survey, cultural arts ranked in the top 5 elements valued among city residents. Public art
is one method of ensuring the visual experience of La Quinta is rich with cultural,
environmental, and artistic beauty.
The purpose of the strategic plan is to provide direction for the following:
• Review the inventory of all art pieces including the APP, Civic Center Art Purchases,
art donations, and art on loan to the City.
• Examine maintenance levels and address preventative and ongoing maintenance needs
for public art.
• Address the diversity of art and artists with the APP program.
• Address the potential for future public art locations and recommend new art
placement.
• Identify ideas for the enhancement of art on a temporary and permanent basis.
• Seek public input regarding suggestions and improvements to the APP program from a
variety of stakeholders including the Community Services Commission, La Quinta Arts
Foundation, local artists, developers, and residents.
• Seek new ways to promote the APP program to residents and visitors.
Art in Public Places (APP)
The City has spent over $2
million to purchase art. The
City has over 30 pieces located
in public facilities, near
commercial and residential
developments.

Civic Center Art Purchases:
The City of La Quinta has been a tremendous
supporter of the La Quinta Arts Festival since its
inception in 1988. The La Quinta Arts Festival
is considered an event that strengthens the
City's cultural and artistic heritage and as such
the City contributes annually to sponsor the
event and provide both Civic Center Campus
and adjacent facilities. The City also purchases
art pieces to place in public facilities. The City
buildings are filled with art from all over the
world that exemplifies the high quality of art
work available at this nationally recognized Art
Festival. Art pieces are currently located in City
Hall, the Senior Center, and the Library.

Art on Loan
The City has several pieces now on loan from residents. The
process includes a request and agreement to place a piece of art
in a public facility, generally for a specified time frame. The art
piece "A Roman Tomb" by John Detlie is on loan at the Senior
Center. "Solitude" by John Kennedy located in the outside
entry area of the Senior Center was an art piece on loan that
then was purchased by the City in 2004.
"Solitude"
14
Donations
The City has several art pieces that have been
donated or partially funded by groups within the City.
"The Spirit of La Quinta" located at the Civic Center
entrance was donated in part by the La Quinta Rotary
Club in 2002. This art piece created by Tom Kennedy
has become an area that acknowledges the "Pillars of
the Community," a program established by the City
which honors those individuals that have made
significant contributions to the City.
"The Spirit of La Quinta"
The Friends of the Senior Center also contributed to public art by commissioning a historic
mural painted on the stage at the Senior Center. The Library has a lithograph donated in
honor of Claire Pyle, a reading specialist, titled "Napping in the Masai" by Doni Kendig.
Art Acquisition
The Public Process
The majority of the public art pieces that are located on city owned properties have been
acquired through a competitive selection process. A request for proposals is distributed
through public art resources to reach artists. The proposals and renderings are then
provided to the Community Services Commission which reviews the proposals and
interviews the artists. The Community Services Commission makes a recommendation
for an artist(s) to be sent to the City Council for consideration and approval. If approved,
the artist(s) is then placed under contract with the City to create the art piece.
Projects acquired through this public process are the artistic panels in the custom bus
stops along Highway 111; the bridge railings on Washington Street, Eisenhower Drive,
and Jefferson Street; and the newly created Library bus stop on Calle Tampico adjacent
to the Library.
Projects are on display in Fritz Burns Park, La Quinta Park, the Cove Oasis, City Hall, Civic
Center Campus, Senior Center, and the Library. Providing public art through the City
affords residents and tourists the opportunity to view the artwork along the City's major
corridors.
15
Art in Public Places in partnership with development
Local developers have the opportunity to integrate public art into or adjacent to their
residential or commercial projects. Since the inception of the program developers have
worked with the City to integrate placement of public art in public right-of-ways for the
public to view and enjoy. In this process the developer works in conjunction with the
City to bring forth an artist that would complement the new development. The developer
then could request fee credits to purchase the APP or the APP program could fund the
artwork up to the cost of the fees paid by the developer. Either way this allows public art
to be placed throughout the community and add artistic elements to new development.
Art acquired through a partnership with developer include the Don at Rancho La Quinta;
Running Free at Embassy Suites Hotel; Desert Dolman at Amore Restaurant; Desert Mural
at the La Quinta Car Wash; Cahuilla Family at Point Happy Shopping Center; Fountains at
La Quinta Court adjacent to LG's restaurant; Eagles at Lowes (formerly Eagle Hardware);
Gem of the Desert at Washington Street and Highway 111; Mission Bell in Old Town
Tower; Freedom and Romance at Griffin Ranch; and the Andalusian Rider and Horse at
Andalusia.
Preventative Maintenance and_Upkee
The City has established a preventative maintenance program that addresses the
maintenance of public art. At the time art is accepted by the City, artists are to provide
the City with directions for the appropriate ongoing maintenance for each piece. If repairs
are needed, the City will coordinate and communicate with the artist to repair the piece.
Each year the staff should evaluate the public art and establish priorities for repair. The
ongoing maintenance is part of the annual budget and planned for as the collection
expands. Several pieces on commercial and residential properties are the responsibility of
the developer. If the City notices that pieces are not being properly maintained, staff will
notify the developer to address the issue. The preventative maintenance program
includes the following elements:
• Examine each piece of art on a regular basis and provide staff with an evaluation and
photographs of each piece indicating needed maintenance or repair.
• Review the suggested care by the artist and provide the needed preventative
maintenance (Waxing bronzes, grouting and resealing tiles, cleaning stains, etc.).
• Remove graffiti from art as quickly and carefully as possible without damage to the
art.
• Prioritize and list needed repairs to be completed in a timely basis.
Check lighting and the adjacent materials surrounding the art piece to assure that nothing
is affecting the quality of the art. Sprinklers and fountains should be checked to make
sure that water is not spraying the art unless it is designed to do so. Bases and areas
around the art work should be kept in good condition and not be allowed to deteriorate.
16
Funding the Program
The APP program is funded through development fees paid to the City for residential and
commercial development. Municipal code 2.65.090 was approved by City Council
requiring all projects valued over $200,000 pay '/2 of one percent of the value of the
development.
In lieu of paying the development fee, applicants may also acquire and install art on or
near the project site. As a guide, the cost of such artwork should approximate the fee
that would be paid by the applicant. The applicant can then receive a fee credit or art in
public places funding for the cost of the art work.
Recommendations
The locations of public art are generally dispersed throughout the City. Many pieces are
located at the Civic Center Campus and public facilities. There are also a number of art
pieces in north La Quinta along Highway 111 and major corridors such as Jefferson
Street and Washington Street with the use of the bus stops, art projects adjacent to
private developments, and bridge railings.
• SilverRock Resort with the new golf course clubhouse and upcoming boutique hotel
and resort hotel will also provide opportunities for public art. This 525-acre site will
host two high end public golf courses and several hotel sites that will bring tourists to
the City. This development provides a beautiful landscape that could be enhanced
with public art. The SilverRock Clubhouse and SilverRock Resort should be considered
for the addition of suitable public art.
• As Old Town continues to develop and add new businesses additional art work will
provide beauty to this Spanish Colonial architecture. Tile murals are suggested to
enhance the original development and Phase 2 development of Old Town. A Mission
Bell was placed in Old Town in 2007 to promote the architecture and art through site
and sound.
• A historical mural is planned for the La Quinta Museum by artist Andre Blanche. The
La Quinta Museum, currently under construction and opening this spring, will be a
good location for future public art projects. The completion of this work will provide
an opportunity for citizens to "watch their public art in progress. This 10,000 square
foot space will provide opportunities for community events and exhibits. Art on Loan
and purchased pieces would be appropriate for this location.
• Entry features provide an opportunity to update and add entry art features and
enhance the entryways into the City.
17
• Once the La Quinta Museum is open, there is space for additional temporary art on
loan and public art on display. The City may want to consider a more active approach
to this program and have art displays as a regular activity in the appropriate spaces at
the museum. There are two exhibit halls and two classrooms that could serve to
provide space for this to occur.
• Update and improve the records collection regarding the current and future art pieces
in the APP program and Civic Center Art Purchase files. More complete information
about the artist and the artwork, certificates of authenticity, photos, and
recommended maintenance should be kept in the files. Staff is encouraged to spend
time to update the existing files and improve the information for new artists as works
are purchased or completed by developers and the City.
• An "Artist Registry" should be developed that includes a variety of artists and
mediums for the City to use and to recommend to developers. This information should
be readily available at the Community Services counter and on the website for use.
• The City should consider increased involvement from the art community utilizing the
La Quinta Arts Foundation and other local and regional resources to assist the
Community Services Department and provide support to the staff in the operation and
maintenance of the program. A non-profit such as the La Quinta Arts Foundation may
consider this as part of an agreement in conjunction with the La Quinta Arts
Foundation Festival with the City. Independent art consultants could also be on
contract to provide this service.
• Number the APP and place placards for citizens to know that it is an APP.
o Occasional APP tours for citizens would help improve public awareness. City of Palm
Desert is a good resource to establish this service.

ITEM TITLE: Consideration of an Additional PUBLIC HEARING:

RECOMMENDATION:
As deemed appropriate by the Community Services Commission.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Community Services Department budget contains funds for one Commissioner
to attend the annual California Parks and Recreation Society Conference. The cost

Park Activities Updates for October 2007
Staff received a report that the drinking fountains at La Quinta Park were not
working. Staff found that someone had shut off the master valve for the
drinking fountains. Staff has also received reports about the restrooms not
working but when they are checked, everything is working as normal. We
suspect that kids are turning the water system on and off at the backflow
located along Westward Ho. Staff will continue to monitor the water valves.
The parks received damage from the wind event that occurred on Friday,
October 51". Many trees were damaged as well as the tennis screens at Fritz
Burns Park that were torn off the fence.
The parks have been over -seeded for the winter. Irrigation will run in regular
short cycles to keep the grass seed wet for germination. The parks should be
in good shape within the next three weeks.
The shade structure has been installed over the playground at La Quinta
Park. The dedication ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, November 29`" at
3:30 P.M.
Staff is meeting with the contractor who submitted the lowest bid for the
fence project at the Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature Preserve. Once the
materials and installation measurements are verified, staff will be submitting
a staff report for City Councils' consideration.
The horse rocker on the Adams Park playground was stolen. A replacement
has been ordered and will be installed as soon as it is received.
The Trust for Public Lands, Riverside County Health Department and the city
sponsored a Healthy Communities, Healthy Parks program at the La Quinta
Library. Over 60 participants attended from the Coachella Valley to learn
about the relationship between good health and parks. The Riverside County
Health department provided information increasing walk -ability in
communities and the correlation between active play areas and parks and
open space. The Trust for Public Lands developed an equity map of the
Coachella Valley showing where parks are most needed. The map is available
in the Community Service Department. La Quinta has adequate and well
maintained parks for its population. Areas demonstrating the greatest need
for more parks are Coachella, Cathedral City and Palm Springs areas.
