Artist shall not, at any time, or in any manner, represent that it or any of its officers, agents or employees are in any manner employees of City. Artist agrees to pay all required taxes on amounts paid to Artist under this Agreement, and to indemnify and hold City harmless from any and all taxes, assessments, penalties, and interest asserted against City by reason of the independent contractor relationship created by this Agreement. Artist shall fully comply with the workers' compensation law regarding Artist and its employees (if any). Artist further agrees to indemnify and hold City harmless from any failure of Artist to comply with applicable workers' compensation laws. City shall have the right to offset against the amount of any fees due to Artist under this Agreement any amount due to City from Artist as a result of Artist's failure to promptly pay to City any reimbursement or indemnification arising under this Section 7.3. ARTICLE VIII. ARTIST'S, RIGHTS 8.1 Identification.

At City's option, Artist, during Artist's lifetime, may be given the opportunity to make or personally supervise significant repairs and restorations and shall be paid a reasonable fee for any such services, provided that City and Artist mutually agree in writing, prior to the commencement of any significant repairs or restorations, upon Artist's fee for such services. City shall have no obligation to utilize the services of Artist in this respect if it chooses to have the repairs and restoration done by other professionals. 22 No fees shall be paid to Artist for repair or restoration due to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth herein. b. All repairs and restorations shall be made in accordance with recognized principles of conservation. 8.4 Maintenance, Alteration and Removal of the Artwork. a. City shall maintain Artwork in a manner that City determines appropriate in its sole discretion. All decisions regarding alterations to, or relocation or removal of, the Artwork are within the sole and absolute discretion of the City. b. If any alteration is made to the Artwork without the consent of Artist, Artist shall have the right to direct the City to remove Artist's name from the Artwork. In connection herewith, Artist hereby acknowledges and agrees that Artist is familiar with the federal Visual Artists Rights Act 07 U.S.C. §§ 106A and 113(d)l, the California Art Preservation Act (Cal. Civil Code § 987 et seq.), and the rights and protection afforded Artist thereunder. Artist, on behalf of him/herself and on behalf of his/her successors, heirs, and assigns, hereby waives, releases and disclaims any rights, demands or claims as may arise at any time and under any circumstances against City, and its elected and appointed officials, officers and employees arising under the federal Visual Artists Rights Act (17 U.S.C. §§ 106A and 113(d)l, the California Art Preservation Act (Cal. Civil Code § 987 et seq.), and any other local, state, federal or international laws that convey rights of the same nature, or any other type of moral right protecting the integrity of works of art to the fullest extent permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Artist expressly waives any rights under the federal Visual Artists Rights Act (17 U.S.C. §§ 106A and 113(d)l, the California Art Preservation Act (Cal. Civil Code § 987 et seq.), and any other local, state, federal or international laws relating to the location, placement, or removal and disposal of the Artwork. C. The parties acknowledge and agree that because the Artwork is being installed [describe conditions, for example: "on an interior wall of a building owned by the City" or "in a manner that precludes its remove it without damage"], it will not be possible to preserve the Artwork if the City determines that it no longer wishes to have the Artwork on display at that Site Location. By way of example, the parties recognize that is would not be feasible or practical to relocate the Artwork after it is installed. For this reason, the parties agree that City shall have the right at any time and for any reason, to remove, destroy, or otherwise dispose of the Artwork, and Artist shall have no right to notice of such actions. City shall have no obligation to preserve the Artwork if it determines it no longer wishes to display the Artwork. In addition, should City transfer property containing the Site Location to a third party, all obligations of City under this Agreement shall terminate. 8.5 Permanent Record. The City shall maintain a record of this Agreement and of the location and disposition of the Artwork. 23 ARTICLE IX. ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER 9.1 Artist shall not assign or transfer any interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of City. If the assignment is approved the parties shall enter an assignment and assumption agreement. Any attempt by Artist to assign, transfer, or subcontract any rights, duties, or obligations arising hereunder without city's prior written consent shall be null, void and of no effect. ARTICLE X. TERMINATION 10.1 City may, at its option, by written notice to Artist, terminate this Agreement either (a) upon the failure by Artist to perform any of its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof or any other breach by Artist of the terms of this Agreement, and such failure or breach continues uncured for fifteen (15) days following notice thereof from City to Artist ("Termination for Default"), or (b) at any other time in the sole and absolute discretion of City ("Discretionary Termination"). Termination for Default and Discretionary Termination are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as "Termination." Upon Termination, except as provided in this Article X, all parties shall be released from all further obligations and liability hereunder. Effective upon a Termination, the Artwork, or so much thereof or has then been completed, shall be transferred to and shall belong to City. In the event of a Discretionary Termination, and upon Artist's written request, City shall remove Artist's name from the Artwork. ARTICLE XI. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION. 11.1 Insurance.

In those instances, the obligation of Artist will be all-inclusive and City will be indemnified for all liability incurred, even though a percentage of the liability is attributable to conduct of City. 1 1.2.3Artist Acknowledgment. Artist acknowledges that its obligation pursuant to this section extends to liability attributable to City, if that liability is less than the sole fault of City. 11.2.4Indemnity Provisions for Subcontractors.

In addition to any other remedies City may have if Artist fails to provide or maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within the time herein required, City may, at its sole option: a. Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums for such insurance from any sums due under this Agreement. b.

CITY OF LA QUINTA, a.California Municipal Corporation By: 34 ATTACHMENT 2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL EVALUATION Project: Design & Painting of 4 Traffic Signal Boxes in North La Quinta Consultant: Susan Smith Evans Reviewer: Date: July 12, 2010 Score each category from 1 to 10 with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best. Experience: Approach to Project: Project Schedule: Qualifications: Written Proposal: Verbal Presentation: Intangibles Explanation): Comments: TOTAL: Reviewer's initials Date 35 GEM OF THE [DESERT A Proposal for Traffic Signal Boxes From Susan Smith Evans, artist Presented to the City of La Quints Community Services Department Theme: I propose to paint the four traffic signal boxes with a theme taken from La Quinta's City slogan, "Gem of the Desert". I believe that public art should be site specific and address the community for which it is intended. For this reason, I would like to incorporate La Quinta's commitment to preserving the desert environment as well as playing up its "Gem of the Desert" slogan. My design considerations: 1. Large-scale and colorful images: The colors should be eye-catching and contrast with the surrounding area, since most of the boxes will be viewed from automobiles traveling at fast speeds. 2. A "collage" approach to the design: The boxes are already made up of multiple parts with various protrusions and hardware. I will break up the space with my designs to mirror these forms. 3. Structure. I have used diagrams of gemstones and some line drawings of desert plants because I find these things fascinating and beautiful. The diagrams give a scientific flavor to the project. 4. Magic: The overall feeling that I want to create is one of awe in the magic and beauty of nature. 5. Consistency: By keeping the theme consistent, there will be a unity to the various locations of boxes. I will use gemstones and desert plants as my primary motifs. Involvement of La Quinta High School Art Department: I welcome and look forward to being able to work with the La Quinta High School Art Department. I have painted numerous public murals where there was community involvement, and I enjoy this process very much. In my role as an art instructor at College of the Desert, I often do projects where everyone contributes an item to the design. I have also worked with the COD Upward Bound program for nearly 10 years as an art instructor, so I am somewhat used to working with high school students. La Quinta High School is known for its strong academic program, particularly science, and for its International Baccalaureate Program. These are themes to be considered when creating the design. My approach would be to seek design ideas from students, perhaps by incorporating educational images into the facets of the large gemstone. The back side of the boxes is also a great opportunity for student design input. I anticipate having several students actually helping to paint the boxes. This would be an opportunity for them to learn mural painting techniques. Past Mural Experience: I have worked on numerous public art murals, and enjoy the research and opportunities to get input from the community when planning a mural. Some of my public murals may be seen at the following locations: ■ City of Palm Desert, Public Arts Commission, Library Community Room 0 City of 29 Palms, Action Council, 'Bill and Prudie Underhill' ■ Indio, Van Buren Elementary School, "Writing and Reading" • Indio, Andrew Jackson School, "Solar System", "Rainforest', and "Desert Animals" • College of the Desert Campus, Palm Desert, "World Art History" and "Nursing, the Art of Caring" Finishing: As I always do in my murals, I use only high quality artist grade acrylic colors in pigments that are rated high in light -fastness. I always finish my work by protecting it in a UV protective varnish or anti -graffiti coating. I would be the designer and painter for the mural boxes, although I might hire a professional painter to prep the boxes. I estimate it would take me about 2 months to complete the actual painting of the boxes once the design is finalized. I see these designs as proposals, and am open to input from the committee or the community as I finalize them. I will strive to make each box a work of art of the highest quality. � y « .y /� : ��\���< `����� dd? ����\��\\ (y>: � f(� © \� /� y� \� � .� �©� �� : .. � f¥ >� a: \�� � � � 2� » <. «� � :� � w «:� � � � �� / � � ' � \ P s^ a+ri'� ih3.ua`IW vinrv'`' EDUCATION 1981 1980 1970 MURALS 2005 2003 gDoh SUSAN SMITH EVANS 49100 SONDGROTH COURT PALM DESERT, CA 92260 (760)574-4378 randsevans@earthlink.net www.SusanSmithEvans.com PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE IN ART THERAPY School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL MASTER OF FINE ARTS School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE Detail of Community Room Mural, Palm Desert LiCmry "Community Room Mural", Palm Desert Library, Art in Public Places, City of Palm Desert, CA 'Rent', private home, Palm Desert, CA "B & G Vineyard", Rogers residence, La Quinta, CA "Fladoos Fish", Fladoos residence, Rancho Mirage, CA "La Quinta, Past, Present, and Future", La Quints Senior Center, La Quinta, CA "Tropical Entry", Private residence, Rancho Mirage, CA 2001 "Frank Lloyd Wright Room", Sirak residence, La Quinta, CA "Writing and Reading", Van Buren Elementary School, Indio, CA "Living Desert Landscape", Braithwaite Residence.

Approach: In my proposal I focus on the nature of the project. In this case my focus is on the surrounding area, what is around the boxes and what other structure the boxes are close to. I would take the opportunity to inform the drivers or the pedestrians of some history and significance of the location, like schools accomplishments etc. The number one goal is to please the viewer and provide a positive experience. Considering that all four locations are outdoors and exposed to the element, I would use automotive compatible paint with sealer to accommodate graffity and vandalism. Schedule: I plan to spend a maximum of two months to complete the project. Development Team: Other than an assistant to purchase neccesary items, I plan to work on this project alone.

Maria Hunt (760) 774-6363 Wcksite: Mariakunt.net Request for Proposal — City of La Quinta Design and painting of Signal Boxes DESIGN CONCEPTS Maria Hunt Westward Ho Drive and Dune Palms: I was inspired to use the "Tossing of the Cap" as a means of capturing the excitement and pride of completion of one of a young person's most important educational goals: Graduation. I can amend the design to include the distinction of those graduating with honors. I didn't know if those individuals had white robes AND caps. As one of the transitioning times from childhood to adulthood, a daily reminder of that future moment of achievement could inspire those least likely to make it to stay with the program or seek help in order to stay in school, working toward that moment. Westward Ho Drive and Dune Palms: This site will be a collaborative work with the Art Department at La Quinta High school. The idea might be to incorporate children in the fountain or art festivals or umbrellas but the students will play a key role in the design and receive acknowledgement. Miles Avenue and Seeley Drive: The adjacent park seems a perfect place for walking the dog. "Out for a Run" is a rough sketch for a person taking in the wonderful weather while enjoying a run with the dog. The Dog can be with sunglasses or without. Fred Waring and Palm Royale Similar to the boxes I completed on El Paseo depicting a "Birdie on the 18s'," I would draw from scenes at SilverRock Golf Club to draw interest in La Quinta's city owned course, and golfing as a leisure activity in town. For an example, I have attached several photos of the traffic signal boxes at El Paseo and San Pablo. Request for Proposal — City of La Quints Design and painting of Signal Boxes PAINTING SCHEDULE Maria Hunt My prior experience with outdoor painting has been that optimum painting condition is when the metal is cooler. Painting, beginning in mid August, would be conducted from 6AM to 8:30-9AM. Once the sun is up, the metal will heat up beyond the typical 90 degrees at that time of the year. Working 5-6 days a week, I anticipate 1.5 to 3 weeks per location based on the complexity of the specific design. The order in which the sites are completed can be determined by the city. Permits will be coordinated with the Planning Department to meet the desired order of completion. The only question to be resolved will be the approval for sanding and priming to take on consecutive days. To insure quality work, I will be using Gatt Construction, the same resource used by City of Palm Desert for the preparation of their Traffic Signal Boxes. In discussing availability and costs, Gatt Construction would prefer, once approved, to sand and prime all four locations within a few days of each other. From a permit perspective, will they be working under my permits from the appropriate city departments in order to prepare the surfaces of the Traffic Signal Boxes or do they need separate permits for their activities? �� I �� i � ' �' ��' Fe'd4, ,u.'., eau},` � ^�.. �� F.. � "4) � � � ui � �' �� t t I- L _ _ _ ---��--� i �' � � � � �IFLF� ,. _..-1 �+ ,. �-'" i -�__ _= � _ I � i _ � c� � r 'I. � + 11 �� I' ' 1. �� 4 w ATTACHMENT 7 REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL EVALUATION Project: Design & Painting of 4 Traffic Signal Boxes in North La Quinta Consultant: Bruce & Sandy Swan Reviewer: Date: July 12, 2010 Score each category from 1 to 10 with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best.

These boxes provide an ideal canvas for hand - painted murals that will create visual appeal and a sense of place, while disguising the utilitarian function of the boxes. Proposal Design four unique and original murals to be handpainted onto signal boxes and electrical service cabinets located at: • Westward Ho Drive at Adams Street • Westward Ho Drive at Dune Palms Road • Fred Waring Drive at Palm Royale • Miles Avenue at Seeley Drive The murals will reflect the unique location and enhance the character of the site. The designs will be eye-catching without being distracting to drivers passing by. They will also be visually interesting for more leisurely viewing by pedestrians. Project Approach Visit locations of the four proposed signal box murals. Take photos and measurements. Note unique characteristics of site. Design mural for each location, and create a scale layout on paper templates. Create full size patterns for each design. Sand and wipe down utility boxes to prep before priming. Mask as needed. Transfer pattern to boxes and paint using exterior grade enamels. Finish the murals with a clear top coat. Considerations • Mask all existing numbers and signage, as well as windows, handles, and locks. • Minimize use of, dark colors, to avoid possible box overheating. • Use drop cloths to protect work area. • Allow passage for pedestrians while maintaining a safe work environment. • Use exterior grade enamels to provide vibrant colors and outdoor durability. • Determine sprinkler timing (if applicable). • Determine if clear coat has already been applied to boxes. Development Team • Sandy Swan - Designer/Artist, owner of Swan Design & Screenprint • Bruce Swan - General Contractor, owner of Better Building Company Sandy & Bruce Swan each have over 25 years of experience in their respective fields. Their extensive client lists include large and small businesses, non -profits, municipali- ties, federal government agencies, and private individuals.

Particulars Westward Ho at Dune Palms (Southwest corner) Signal boxes are directly in front of La Quinta High School and the school's monu- ment sign. Solicit input from LQHS Art Department regarding design ideas. NOTE: Artist reserves the right to decline or edit any suggested designs for best visibility and ex- ecution, and to keep project within budget and on schedule. School colors are Bur- gundy and Navy. Miles Avenue at Seeley (Southeast corner) These boxes are in front of the Dog Park. Mural will depict stylized dogs and their people interacting in a park setting: playing fetch, tossing Frisbee, running, etc. Vari- ous dog breeds large and small, blue skies, green grass. Mural will also act as a land- mark for the park. Westward Ho at Adams (Northeast corner) This location is at the southwest corner of the La Quinta Park. Mural will show stylized figures enjoying some of the popular amenities available at the park: water feature, soccer field, skate park, and other outdoor activities. Fred Waring at Palm Royale (Northeast corner) This intersection is one of the two "gateways' to the Alternative Education Complex (Horizon School and Summit High School) and Colonel Mitchell Paige Middle School. Both schools have interesting architectural details and utilize a desert color palette of soft rust, sage green and blue -gray. These features will be subtly incorporated into an imaginary landscape of structures and desert greenery, bide cvd�3'SQQ i 3 v j j -0 ui z N U o z H OJ ¢ o m .F= =W co c z 0 c U- I tL- W 0 J Fn 2W CD 0 FUj LLL W 0 J u E o10P. r4,amTS C7 T 0 I— W U- p J c&!t 4 eCP Q91A& COMMISSION MEETING DATE: July 12, 2010 ITEM TITLE: Consideration of the 2010-201 1 Community Services Marketing Plan RECOMMENDATION: AGENDA CATEGORY: BUSINESS SESSION: 4 CONSENT CALENDAR: STUDY SESSION: PUBLIC HEARING: As deemed appropriate by the Community Services Commission. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: The Community Services Marketing Plan (Attachment 1) has been developed to refine and improve the methods of communicating the programs, services, and events to City residents. This plan provides the Community Services Commission with information regarding the current number of programs and services, cancellation rates, and marketing and promotion methods. New methods of promoting have also been identified to reach residents. Staff has included the recent attendance figures (Attachment 2). This plan is in collaboration with the City's Marketing and Promotion Plan approved by City Council. This year's plan addresses the recommendations and action items in the Community Services Master Plan and the Community Services Commission Work Plan to increase marketing efforts. This marketing plan seeks to reach more residents through a variety of print, web, internet, public relations, and promotional methods. The key elements of this plan are included in the 2010-2011 budget approved by City Council on July 6, 2010. New promotion methods that staff is working on include: WebTrac Software Upgrade. Staff completely re -designed the menu structure and functionality of the WebTrac online registration system. The new menu system allows for easy one -click access to the programs and activities. The re -design was completed in early April 2010, and since then staff has noticed a dramatic decrease in user related phone calls for tech support and troubleshooting. M Bike Map Upgrade. This year Community Services staff worked closely with Public Works staff to update the City's Bike map. The new map includes updated routes, facility list, and phone numbers. Spring Advertising Campaign. In cooperation with the City Marketing Plan, additional print and radio ads are purchased that include Community Services Events and Programs. These include Summer Golf Tour, Fritz Burns Pool Programs, and other spring and summer recreation activities. Sports Email Blast. This email blast is a complete list of all the sports programs the Department offers and is sent to targeted users that have signed up for past programs. Meet Up websites. Staff is investigating the use of meetup.com website, which is a social networking site that allows the users to find activities based on their interests. City Map Application. Currently in the discussion phase, the City of La Quinta's Smartphone app will include a listing of special events, a map with facility locations such as parks, and other city facilities. In mid 2009, as a cost saving measure, staff reduced the production and mailing of one Activities Guide per year. Since then, staff has followed the attendance numbers closely. As of July 1, 2010, the Community Services Department and Senior Center has shown a 22% increase in overall leisure class attendance with a significant decrease in program cancellations for Fiscal Year 2009-2010. We believe a combination of improved promotional options, the use of web marketing, and targeted print ads contributed to the success of these programs and the reduction in program cancellations. ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives available to the Commission are: 1. Approve the 2010-201 1 Community Services Marketing Plan; or 2. Do not approve the 2010-2011 Community Services Marketing Plan; or 3. Provide staff with alternate direction. 4 Ily submitted, Communify Services Director Attachments: 1.

The surface was punctured allowing the water to penetrate under the rubber surface and causing the surface to lift and tear away. The water feature was closed for only 5 days. Two representatives of the manufacturer from Orange County were able to patch the repair immediately so the feature could be open again for the weekend. The electrical controls for the water feature were re -wired, making the water feature more reliable and more efficient. The walking trail around Adams Park has been renovated. Crews removed the old wood trail edging and installed concrete curbing for the trail boarders. Fifty tons of new decomposed granite was also installed for the renovation. Two new dog bag dispensers have been installed at La Quinta Park. The dispensers are located at the east and west entrances of the park from the parking lot. Due to the park fields being mostly used for youth sports, dog owners are encouraged to keep their dogs on a leash and off the playing fields. The shade structures have been completed over the playgrounds at Fritz Burns Park and Adams Park. 152 COMMISSIONER ITEM: 1 N z Z W > W Y Vl Q F Z J a Y W CC U O 3z �z CO w C7 1- Z Q W r W 20 N N CC O W I Z O O N US CC N W 2 Y g J OQ U U W W U LU W N F Z O U a0 0 O d N N J O\ N M_ m0 O O d U C O CNN G N OM I L O U_ s O N C7 Z 6 LL N N W G o w M m n CD O L Z Y m 00 N W O N N O c) d ^ CD S m d O Y m m O O 04 l M L N C N N �- EX C w C O O a � N � Q F x O W 6 C O Y > (0 t0 0 N 0N cm O O _N n U CO LL X w C C N V O O X O C C NC N" L O N N C N N U O JO) H Ot Y N UCD O F,� C CpU NC r O O 7 ID U r O COm y m 0 N UEpL ryC"yNO N LJU2Co` C OLL F r N w C': c C N E N a �, o pO d 0 Nm U�j ry ON N d wp O C N Nd : N : CCN O C) OO yO NtY 0 0NCU fN C> N > 0 L a UQwamN wa i QO�W.
