[1. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL]
[00:00:23]
>>: AND WE HAVE ROLL CALL PLEASE.
>>: CHAIRPERSON BILL SCHINSKY.
>>: COMMISSIONER WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE?
>>: I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
>>: THANK YOU ITEM NUMBER THREE PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA.
ITEM NUMBER FOUR, PRESENTATION FROM LOCAL ARTISTS OR ARTS ORGANIZATIONS? NONE? ITEM FIVE, ACTION ITEMS.
[5.1. Work Plan: Review and approve the Public Arts Work Plan and provide re...]
5.1 WORK PLAN WILL BE ADDRESSED BY STAFF PERSON LEILA NAMVAR.>>: GOOD EVENING MEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC ARTS COMMISSION.
THE FIRST ITEM IS AN ACTION ITEM IT IS A WORK PLAN THAT THE COMMISSION WORKED WITH PREVIOUS STAFF AND ALSO THE STAFF WORKED RECENTLY ON REVISING IT.
I AM JUST GOING TO GET THE POINTER.
IT IS PER THE COMMISSION'S DIRECTION, BASED ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WAS COMPLETED IN 2021.
AS YOU SEE, THE MISSION THE DIVISION THE PUBLIC ARTS COMMISSION CHOSE AND DRAFTED IS ON THE SLIDE AS A REMINDER.
ALSO, WE LOOK AT THE GOALS AND VALUES AND MADE SURE THE PROJECTS WILL BE ALIGNED WITH THOSE GOALS AND VALUES OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN.
THE PLAN SHOWS THE ONGOING AND CURRENT PROJECTS THAT WE CURRENTLY ARE WORKING ON.
WE HAVE MURAL CONSERVATION, WE HAVE THE 16 TRAFFIC SIGNAL BOXES.
WE NEED TO GET 20 MORE IMAGES FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL BOXES.
WE HAD MILES AVENUE BRIDGE PROJECT.
WE HAVE SOLID BELLY CAKE, WE HAVE CHOLOS TO CACTI, WE HAVE 9/11 MEMORIAL PROJECT WHICH WAS IN THE WORK PLAN PREVIOUSLY.
HOWEVER, WE DID AN ACTIVE BUDGET AND WE ARE INCLUDING THE BUDGET TO NEW PROJECTS BECAUSE THE LOCATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION HAS CHANGED.
FOR THE 9/11 MEMORIAL PROJECT, WHICH WILL COME BEFORE YOU AGAIN TONIGHT LATER ON.
WE ARE ANTICIPATING ABOUT $125,000 PROJECT COST TOWARD THE PROJECT COST.
WE THANK STAFF AND ALSO BASICALLY THE CHAIRPERSON WE ARE WORKING WITH TO DO AN RFP.
REQUES FOR PROPOSAL FOR ARTIST SELECTION.
THE NEW LOCATION IS THE CITY'S NEW PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPUS THAT WILL BE LOCATED UNDER THE CURRENT LOCATION UNDER THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF JACKSON AND DOCTOR CARRION.
WE'RE THINKING A 24 MONTH TIMELINE TO BE IN LINE WITH THE COMPLETION OR NEAR COMPLETION OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPUS.
THE OTHER NEW PROJECTS WILL BE THE NEW MUREAU'S.
THE ONE IS THE COLOSSAL CACTI AS YOU SEE WHICH IS PART OF THE HISPANIC CHAMBER
[00:05:07]
OF COMMERCE BUILDING.THE BUDGET ANTICIPATED IS 25000 GOING TO RFP.
THE LOCATION IS SMURR STREET IN THE ANTICIPATED LINE IS FOUR MONTHS TO GET IT DONE.
ALL OF THE NEW PROJECT STARTS DAY IS A NEW FISCAL DATE -- YEAR.
AND YOUR STAFF REPORT, WE ALSO PROVIDED, BASICALLY CONNECTED GOALS OR VALUES FOR EACH PROJECT.
IN THE SLIDE BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOG AGENDA.
THE MURAL WILL BE A BACKDROP OR A BACKGROUND FOR THE COLOSSAL CACTI TO CONNECT IT WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA AND CREATE A PLACE AS OPPOSED TO INDIVIDUAL STATUES THERE.
THE OTHER MURAL PROJECT IS JACKSON BRIDGE OVER THE RAILROAD OR RAILROAD MURAL.
TO CREATE SOMETHING GEOMETRIC WITH THE PILLARS AND ALSO, AS YOU SEE THERE IS A LARGE PLANTER THERE.
WE THINK ADDING SOME COLOR ROCKS, THE SAME WAY THAT WE DID IT ON JEFFERSON BRIDGE, IT WILL MAKE IT MORE PLEASING AT LEAST.
IT WILL REQUIRE ANY MAINTENANCE OR LANDSCAPE OR WATER USAGE.
THE RFP FOR ARTIST SELECTION WE THINK WILL BE FIVE MONTHS FROM THE TIME THAT WE START THIS PRODUCT ONTO PROJECT.
THE SMALL MURALS, THESE ARE MURALS THAT CAN BE DONE ON INFRASTRUCTURE OR PIPES AND THINGS LIKE THAT AS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN.
THOSE ARE FUN AND CAN GIVE THE PERSON WHO DISCOVERS A SENSE OF DISCOVERY.
WE THINK FIVE OF THESE FOR THIS PROJECT PLAN WILL BE GOOD FOR 500 A PIECE.
CV LINK COMES BEFORE YOU LATER ON IN THE AGENDA.
FOR $50000 FOR ADDING SOME TYPE OF ART PIECE OR PUBLIC ART TO IT.
WHICH AGAIN IT COMES BEFORE YOU LATER IN THE AGENDA.
ANOTHER SECOND MONUMENT ASSIGNED $125000.
THE THREE PRIORITY LOCATION WILL BE THE CORNER OF JEFFERSON AND WARNER SOUTH OF SHADOW HILLS RV.
JACKSON AND I-10 WHERE THE GRASS AREA APPROXIMATELY TWO ARMORY BUILDING.
IN MUNRO STREET AND AVENUE 52 CLOSE TO THE GROUND AND 12 - 18 MONTHS TO DO SO.
CITY PARKS, WE ARE THINKING TO ADD SOME UNIQUE ELEMENTS TO EACH PART.
WITH THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND INPUT BY COLLABORATION WITH THE COMMUNITY SERVICES AND CITIES PUBLIC WORK.
$35000 GOING THROUGH RFP CIRCULATION AND 12 MONTHS.
SIGNAGE FOR CITY PUBLIC ARTS COLLECTION.
EACH BASICALLY TO CREATE AN INSTANT CONNECTION BETWEEN THE VIEWER IN THE ART PIECE IS WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE ART PIECE AND WHO IS THE ARTIST.
BESIDE THAT, WE THINK OTHER THINGS LIKE WHEN IT WAS CREATED, AND OTHER INFORMATION COULD BE THERE WHICH SIMPLY COULD BE AN QR CODE.
BY SCANNING IT IT COULD TAKE PEOPLE TO THE INFORMATION REGARDING THAT PIECE.
WE ANTICIPATE FOR EACH OF OUR ART PIECES IN OUR COLLECTION INCLUDING THE
[00:10:05]
STATUTES, MURALS AND TRAFFIC SIGNAL BOXES IN ANY FUTURE WE SHOULD CREATE SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR OUR COLLECTION.TO CREATE MORE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE VIEWER IN THE ART PIECE.
ANOTHER NEW PROJECT IS ARTISTIC SIDEWALK.
IT COULD BE ANY OF THESE OR ANYTHING OUT OF THOSE IMAGES WITH COLLABORATION WITH ARTIST.
WE THINK TO OF THEM WILL BE FOR THIS PLAN.
AND WE WILL CREATE THIS FOR THE EXISTING CROSSWALKS AND THEY WILL BE COORDINATION WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
ARTIST REGISTRY AGAIN IN LINE UP REBUTTED ARTIST.
THIS IS A PROJECT WE SHOULD DO.
THERE'S NO COST TO IT, STAFF TIME AND WE WILL MAKE SURE WE CAN DO IT WITH THE MEMES THAT WE ALREADY HAVE.
SO WE DON'T ADD ANY COST TO THE BUDGET.
THE OTHER ONE IS IDENTIFYING THE ARTS ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN INDIO AND COACHELLA VALLEY.
AGAIN NO COST TO THE ARTS FUND.
IT WILL BE STAFF TIME AND SOMETHING PROVIDED ONLINE.
ANOTHER PIECE OF THIS PLAN IS THE MONEY FOR INSPECTION, INVENTORY, MAINTENANCE AND CONSERVATION OF HER ART COLLECTION THAT WE THINK WE SHOULD DO THAT PERIODICALLY BASED ON THE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM THAT WE GET FROM THE ARTIST.
IF WE NEED TO, WE GO OUT, FOR EXAMPLE THE MURAL CONSERVATION WE HAD TO HIRE A THIRD-PARTY CAVITY.
BUT THIS YEAR WE THINK $10000 WOULD BE SUFFICIENT.
THE OVERALL BUDGET FOR THIS WORK PLAN WILL BE ABOUT $442,000.
AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS A PUBLIC ARTS COMMISSION REVIEW THE WORK PLAN, DISCUSS IT AND BASICALLY IF YOU ACCEPT IT THEN THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE SUBMIT APPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL AND APPROPRIATION OF THE BUDGET.
I WILL CONCLUDE THE FIRST REPORT AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
>>: ARE THESE IN ANY SORT OF ORDER BY PRIORITY, WHAT ARE WE PRIORITIZING FOR SOME OF THE WORK PLAN? IS THERE SOME ORDER?
>>: IF THE COMMISSION WISHES TO PRIORITIZE THEN WE CAN PRIORITIZE IT.
FOR EXAMPLE 9/11 WE DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE IT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CAMPUS FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPUS BUT THE COLOSSAL CACTI MURAL AND THE BRIDGE -- BECAUSE THEY WEAVE INTO EACH OTHER AND CREATE A DOWNTURN, MAYBE THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST.
THE TIMELINE IS TO SAY ALL OF THESE WILL GET DONE WITHIN THAT YEAR.
BUT IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO PRIORITIZE IT, THE STAFF IS OPEN TO THAT.
IF WE CAN REFER BACK TO SLIDE NUMBER THREE CAN YOU PULL THAT BACKUP.
PERHAPS IDENTIFYING SOMEWHAT OF A TIMELINE ON THAT PARTICULAR SLIDE.
THE COMMISSIONERS POINT, WE ARE HAPPY TO MOVE THESE TIMELINES AROUND BUT THE BETTER IDEA IS THE COMPLETIONS AND COMMENCEMENT OF THE ITEMS.
>>: I THINK THE NATURE OF EACH PROJECT WILL ASSIST AND DETERMINE HOW LONG AND THE PRIORITY.
SOME ARE VERY SHORT-TERM PROJECTS AND SOME OF THE MAJOR BODY EVENTS, ETC. ARE
[00:15:02]
LONG-TERM.THE MURALS ARE SHORTER-TERM AND THE MANY MURALS, IF WE WANT TO CALL THEM THAT, ARE MUCH SHORTER THAN THAT.
IT'S ALMOST AN AUTOMATIC PRIORITIZATION OF PROJECTS.
ONCE WE GET THE WORD OUT FOR THE RSV'S, WE KNOW THAT TAKES TIME TO DO.
WORD OUT, SELECTION, APPROVAL, PRODUCTION.
I THINK IN A WAY IT IS THE NATURAL STATE OF PROGRESSION FOR EACH ONE.
IF WE PRIORITIZE ONE OVER THE OTHER WE NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
I THINK WE JUST LET THEM HAPPEN NATURALLY.
>>: FOR EXAMPLE, THE INTERIM MONUMENT, THE SECOND ONE IS 12 MONTHS.
IF YOU START THE BEGINNING FISCAL YEAR, WE NEED TO START THE RFQ RIGHT THERE AND THEN SELL THE SELECTION AND CONTRACT AND FABRICATION AND INSTALLATION.
IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE DETAIL LIKE THAT, A TABLE THAT SAYS WE START HERE, WE CAN CREATE THAT, THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM.
WE CAN CREATE A TIMELINE FOR EACH PROJECT WHICH SHOWS WHAT DAY IT STARTS, WHEN RFQ GOES OUT, WHEN WILL THE SUBCOMMITTEE FORM, WHEN WILL BE THE SELECTION AND THE CONTRACT, WE COULD DO THAT THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM.
>>: I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE ASSIGN EACH OF OUR PROJECTS TO THOSE SPECIFIC FISCAL YEARS.
UP INTO THIS POINT WE ARE NOW REALLY GETTING ORDERLY ABOUT OUR PROGRESS AND OUR JOB TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
WE'VE NEVER REALLY FOLLOWED OR ADHERED TO.
BUT THIS WAY I THINK IT WILL KEEP US IN VERY FINE ORDER.
WE KNOW IN FISCAL YEAR 2022, 23, 24, WE MUST GET THESE THINGS DONE.
INSTEAD OF FLOATING FROM YEAR-TO-YEAR.
9/11 HAS BEEN AROUND FOR HOW LONG? TOO LONG.
>>: THE GOOD THING WE HAVE A VERY NICE PROJECT ASSOCIATED WITH IT WHICH IS A PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPUS THAT WILL BE A NICE PIECE FOR THAT PROJECT.
>>: I THINK BY DOING -- AGREEING TO DO YEAR-BY-YEAR, IT WILL KEEP US IN ORDER.
>>: THE STAFF NOTED COMMISSION BECERRA, IF IT GETS APPROVED AND GOES TO THE COUNCIL, WE CAN HAVE THE TIMELINE A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEAR FOR THE COUNCIL AND ALSO SOMETHING FOR THE COMMISSION TO KNOW ABOUT IT AS WELL.
>>: I THINK IT IS VERY AMBITIOUS.
I'M GLAD WE ARE GOING TO SHOOT FOR ALL OF THOSE.
IN SHOOTING OUT FOR ANOTHER DECADE ON SOME OF THESE.
I DON'T HARDLY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH ANYTHING.
>>: I'M NOT TAKING ANY VACATIONS.
>>: YOU'RE MAKING US ALL LOOK BAD.
>>: I THINK IT IS A LOT OF MONEY BUT I DO HAVE ONE CONCERN WITH A SMALL MURALS PROJECT.
I DON'T THINK IT IS ENOUGH OF 500 A PIECE PER MANY MURAL.
AS AN ARTIST GETTING PAID PER MURAL TO GET PAINTED BY HAND.
BUT THAT IS MY OPINION AS AN ARTIST.
GIVE US A NUMBER THAT YOU THINK WOULD BE FAIR.
TWO, WE ARE NOT TALKING MURALS, MURALS, WE'RE TALKING MINIATURE.
>>: MAYBE IF YOU HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL BOXES.
IF THEY ARE GOING TO BE ON THE SAME SPECTRUM OF THE SMALL PROJECTS THAT ARE VERY LIMITED IN TIME.
[00:20:01]
MAYBE WE HAVE A SET PRICE POINT OF USER ACCESSIBLE PROGRAMS FOR THE COMMUNITY ARTIST TO APPLY FOR IT AND YOU CAN LOOK AT 750 FOR THESE PROJECTS OR THESE ARTS.>>: IS BASICALLY THE COMMISSION'S APPROVAL OR THE COMMISSION'S WISH.
THESE ARE ANTICIPATED BUDGETS FOR ALL THESE PROJECTS.
THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO RAISE OR DECREASE.
THE TIME TO DO SO IS RIGHT NOW.
>>: WE DID HAVE A PROGRAM FOR EXPRESS MURALS.
OUR BUDGETS FOR THOSE WITH 2541, NOT INCLUDING SURFACE PREP READ THAT WAS EXPECTED TO BE A NONPERMANENT MURAL OF THE PERMANENT MURAL.
I THINK IF YOU PUT A NUMBER TO IT AT 500.
I KIND OF TELLS AN ARTIST THAT MAYBE IS SOMETHING WE EXPECT TO HAVE DONE IN FIVE HOURS OR FOUR HOURS.
AND IF WE EXPECT MORE TIME WE SHOULD PROBABLY UP THE PRICE IS THAT YOU ARE FEELING.
>>: IF SOMEBODY WILL HAVE THE CREATION OF PAINTING DONE IN MORE THAN FIVE HOURS?
>>: I THINK IF YOU IDENTIFY A BUDGET YOU KIND OF LET THE ARTIST KNOW WHAT THE SCALE IS.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TRY TO PAINT A 50-FOOT WALL FOR $500.
BUT YOU GO SMALL ENOUGH, THE SAMPLES THAT THEY HAVE GIVEN, WE'RE TALKING 1 FOOT LIKE TO FOOT, 3-FOOT MAX.
>>: THE LOCATIONS THAT ARE SELECTED, SOME MAY BE VERY CHALLENGING.
AN ARTIST IS GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND SOME TIME BEING VERY CREATIVE IN A VERY CREATIVE AND FUN WAY.
THAT'S WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS ALL ABOUT.
TO ME THAT WOULD BE FAIR FOR THE TIME AND CREATIVE ENERGY THAT SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO SPEND.
>>: WILL BE ASKED SOMEONE TO PUT A BUDGET TO THEIR OWN NUMBER OR WILL WE JUST TACK IT THAT THIS IS THE NUMBER REGARDLESS OF SCALE.
>>: I THINK WHEN YOU HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER LIKE THAT WE SHOULD BE UP FRONT AND SAY WE WILL PAY YOU UP TO $1000 FOR YOUR PROJECT.
>>: ARE WE EXPECTING A PROPOSAL FOR EACH OF THESE?
>>: YES, ALL THE PROJECTS WE ARE GOING TO REQUEST A PROPOSAL.
>>: ON THIS ONE, I THINK BY THEN WE SHOULD HAVE AN IDEA OF WHERE THESE WILL BE LOCATED.
PEOPLE CAN GET AN IDEA OF THE CHALLENGE THAT IS THERE SO THEY COULD DO THE PROPOSAL AND USE ONE OF THOSE SPECIFIC LOCATIONS FOR THEIR PROPOSAL.
INSTEAD OF SENDING IMAGERY OF THE CURRENT WORK.
>>: I JUST HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION ABOUT THE MONUMENTS PROJECT.
WE HAVE THE SET PRICE, THAT IS EVERY MONUMENT DIFFERENT? CAN I JUST GET SOME BACKGROUND ON HOW WE HAVE A SET AMOUNT FOR THE MONUMENT BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT PIECE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE IN PLACE.
>>: THE LAST ONE WAS ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT, 125,000.
THERE WAS ON ONE OF THEM MAY BE A CHANGE ORDER.
FOR EXAMPLE THE SECRETARY WAS $125,000.
WE GOT THREE PIECES AND ALSO THE SIGN.
THE ONE, QUOTED KINETIC, WAS THE SAME BUT A CHANGE ORDER BECAUSE THEY NEEDED TO FIX THE SOLAR PIECES TO ADD MORE LIGHTS.
CALYPSO WAS $250,000 BUT THAT WAS A DIFFERENT SITUATION.
>>: I WAS ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE FOR THE ENTRY MONUMENTS.
THE COUNCIL AT THE TIME WANTED TO LOCATE THESE BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY.
THE COMMISSION WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE THINGS MOVING, FARTHER INTO THE CITY,
[00:25:02]
CLOSER TO NEIGHBORHOODS, OR AT LEAST MORE THAN A BLOCK AS OPPOSED TO MARKING ON THE EDGE OF THE CITY.THERE IS DISCUSSION THAT SOME OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE HOPING THIS WOULD BE MORE LIKE ENTRY SIGNAGE LIKE YOU SEE IN THE CITY OF INDIAN WELLS OR PALM DESERT.
THE COMMISSION AT THE TIME DID NOT FEEL IT WAS APPROPRIATE FOR PUBLIC ART FUNDING TO GO TOWARDS BASICALLY SIGNAGE.
THAT IS HOW WE ENDED UP WITH THAT.
WE HAD A LONG DISCUSSION, AND AMBITION TO PUT FIVE OF THESE OUT AND TO LOCK THAT IN WITH ONE ARTIST.
OR DO WE WANT TO GO SEPARATE AND THE VOTE WENT TOWARDS GOING SEPARATE.
THERE HAD NOT BEEN A UNIFYING THEME.
NOW THAT THERE'S ONLY ONE LEFT YOU CAN RUN WITH THE IN ANY DIRECTION.
WHICH IS THE TEXT THAT YOU SEE ON 111.
THAT WAS BASICALLY WHERE WE'VE GONE WITH THAT.
WE WERE GOING TO GET AN ENTRY MONUMENT OF 9/11 AT JACKSON STREET.
THAT IS BASICALLY WHERE WE ARE.
THE BUDGETS WERE STARTING AT $80000 THAT IS WHERE WE WERE SEEING SCULPTURES COMMON.
HAVING APPLIED FOR UNFORESEEABLE CHANGES IN CHANGE ORDERS.
THAT'S WERE $125,000 COMES OUT.
I DON'T KNOW WITH MATERIAL COST THESE DAYS WHERE THAT NUMBER GETS IN BUT THAT IS A NUMBER OF WHAT THE SCALE COULD BE.
>>: THAT NUMBER IS ALSO BASED ON THE MONEY IN THE ART FUN.
IN ADDITION WHEN YOU SET THE MAX SO THE ARTIST KNOW WHAT MATERIAL AND TO GET TO THAT POINT.
I AM CONFIDENT WE WILL GET PROPOSALS FOR THAT MUCH.
THERE WILL BE A SUBCOMMITTEE TO GO THROUGH.
BUT IF SOMETHING COMES THAT WOWS EVERYBODY.
WE CAN GO BACK TO THE COMMISSION AND ASK FOR MORE AND GO TO THE COUNCIL.
I THINK THE COMMISSION PROBABLY COULD SEE $125,000 WILL BE A HEALTHY BUDGET.
THE REASON THESE LOCATIONS WERE CHOSE IN LEADING TOWARDS THOSE LOCATIONS.
IT IS NOT JUST STATUE IN THE MEDIAN.
IT HAS THE CAPABILITY FOR PLACE MAKING IN THE 100 JEFFERSON IS ALSO A LARGE AREA.
THAT IS WHY IT WAS CHOSEN SO YOU CAN HAVE THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS IN THE COMMISSION CAN CONSIDER ALL THOSE LOCATIONS AND MAYBE CHOOSE ONE OF THEM TONIGHT.
>>: I THINK THAT WAS MY OTHER MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS PROGRAM THAT THESE PIECES AREN'T VERY ACCESSIBLE AS PUBLIC ART PIECES.
THAT IS SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHANGE WITH THIS PROGRAM.
HAVING THESE PIECES BE ACCESSIBLE.
IT WILL BE ABLE TO WALK UP TOWARDS THE AND INTERACTED THAT SOMEHOW.
>>: ACTUALLY, LOCATION ONE AND LOCATION TWO ARE RELATIVELY ACCESSIBLE.
VARNER AND JEFFERSON IS RIGHT ON THE CORNER NEXT TO THE HIGHWAY PATROL.
THERE IS AREA TO PARK IF YOU WANT TO GET CLOSER TO IT.
AND JACKSON AND I-10 IS A GRASS AREA BUT NEXT TO THE SCHOOL AND THERE'S A PARKING AREA RIGHT NEXT TO IT.
YOU CAN GO HAVE A PICNIC THERE.
>>: THOSE ARE THE TWO MOST ACCESSIBLE SITES BASICALLY.
VARNER AND JEFFERSON WAS NOT PART OF THE ENTRY MONUMENT MASTER PLAN BECAUSE THE CITY DID NOT HAVE THAT PIECE BEFORE.
THOSE ARE THE TWO MOST ACCESSIBLE.
>>: WOULD BE CLOSER TO THE ARMORY?
>>: YES, THAT IS A GOOD LOCATION.
WHAT DO YOU THINK E.J.? > WE WENT DOWN THE ROAD OF APPROVING A PIECE ONE POINT TO GO THERE.
[00:30:03]
>>: DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE WORK PLAN?
>>: ONE QUESTION WILL BEGIN TO TALK ABOUT CHANGING THE AMOUNT ON THE SMALL MURALS PROJECT?
>>: IS THE MAXIMUM 1000, YOU COULD MENTION THAT AMENDMENT.
ALSO IF THE LOCATION CHOSEN FOR SECOND INTERIM MONUMENT IS JACKSON AND I-10.
YOU NEED TO MENTION THAT AS WELL.
AMENDED THE ENTRY MONUMENT LOCATION TO READ JACKSON AND KENNER AND FOR THE MAXIMUM FOR EACH OF THE SMALL MURALS AT $1000 EACH.
>>: THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDING TO THE COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE WORK PLAN, CORRECT?
>>: I WILL SECOND THAT MOTION.
>>: WE ARE GOING TO GO TO THE SECOND ITEM ON THE AGENDA.
WHICH IS PAISLEY 2019 COACHELLA MUSIC AND ART FESTIVAL.
[5.2. Paisley Artwork from Coachella Music and Arts Festival: Review and mak...]
WE WERE APPROACHED BY THE GOLDEN BOYS THAT THE PAISLEY PIECE WAS CREATED FOR 2019 COACHELLA FESTIVAL.BUT A LOCAL ARTIST SOPHIA HENRIQUE CREATED SIX PAISLEY SHAPES.
AS YOU SEE THEY ARE ABOUT 16 OR 18 FEET TALL.
DIFFERENT SHAPES, VERY COLORFUL.
THIS IS AVAILABLE AT THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO GET IT AS A LONG-TERM LOAN.
IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO GET AS A LONG-TERM LOAN, ALSO THE LOCATION IS A QUESTION AS WELL.
WHERE WOULD THE COMMISSION LIKE TO SEE THESE PIECES.
THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE BEFORE YOU TO GET YOUR RECOMMENDATION ABOUT IT.
AND SEE IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO GET THEM AS A LONG-TERM LOAN LIKE THE OTHER TWO PIECES AND JUST REPORT BACK ON WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE COMMISSION.
>>: I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THIS IS A PIECE WHAT I PREFER OVER THE OTHER PIECES FROM GOLDEN BOYS.
WITH THAT SAID, I ALSO THINK I AM NOT ADVOCATING FOR THIS TO GET AS A LONG-TERM BONE.
I UNDERSTAND THE MATERIALS THAT ARE BEING USED ARE NOT VERY SUSTAINABLE WITH THESE PIECES BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ADVOCATE TO HAVE SOPHIA HENRIQUEZ DO ONE OF THESE PIECES WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AND OUR WORK PLANS BECAUSE I THINK SHE'S AN AMAZING ARTIST AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHATEVER INSTALLATIONS IN THE CITY OF INDIO.
>>: I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE PRESENT CONDITION.
THIS LOOKS LIKE A PHOTOGRAPH FROM THREE YEARS AGO.
LIKE YOU SAY THEY ARE MADE OUT OF WOOD.
IT DOES NOT LAST OUT HERE VERY LONG.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE BUDGET WITH THE ASK IS.
IS IT SIMILAR TO THE CACTI ONE WHERE WE ARE BASICALLY PAYING FOR CONCRETE PEDESTALS?
>>: THE BUDGET IS ALSO BEFORE YOU.
THE COMMISSION CAN SAY THIS IS A BUDGET THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO USE FOR THEM.
THE PIECES WILL BE PAINTED AND WILL BE INSTALLED.
SIMILAR TO THE OTHER PIECE THAT WE RECEIVED.
PAINTED AND IF THERE IS DAMAGED TO ANY PIECES WE WILL REPAIR IT.
THAT IS JUST GOING TO STAY PLYWOOD.
>>: IS THERE A BUDGET IDENTIFIED OR YOU ARE ASKING US TO SET A BUDGET?
[00:35:04]
>>: THE STAFF IS ASKING COMMISSION IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO GET THEM THAT THE TERMS, BUDGET AND COMMISSION YOU CAN SET AS WELL.
>>: THERE WAS NOT A VALUE TO MOVING IT OR INSTALLING IT?
>>: REALLY, IF YOU WANT THESE PIECES, THEY ARE YOURS.
THEY WILL GET THEM TO US FOR FREE.
IN TERMS OF INSTALLATION, THERE WILL BE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
BUT WE ARE NOT TO THAT STEP YET.
>>: PLYWOOD AND DESERT WEATHER DO NOT NEXT.
THEY MAY LAST A WHILE BUT NOT THAT LONG.
SAME THING WITH CYBELE K, IT'S GOOD BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO LAST THAT LONG.
I DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA OF INDIO BECOMING THE STORAGE HOUSE FOR GOLDEN BOYS FORMER PIECES.
EVERY TIME WE TAKE SOMETHING FROM GOLDEN BOYS, WE ARE TAKING AWAY FROM ANOTHER ARTIST.
ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE GOLDEN BOYS PROJECTS HAVE BEEN PAID.
THE ARTIST THAT WE COULD BE HELPING ARE LOSING.
I HAVE TO DISAGREE STRONGLY WITH COMMISSIONER BECERRA.
I DO NOT THINK THIS ARTIST IS JUSTIFIED BY THE REPUTATION SHE HAS PRETTY REPUTATION IS NOT JUSTIFIED.
WHAT YOU MEAN HER ENTIRE REPUTATION IS NOT JUSTIFIED?
>>: AS A QUOTE ON QUOTE ARTIST.
>>: SHE IS DERIVATIVE, SHE SOCIALIZES WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND GOD NOTICE.
>>: SHE HAS WORKED HER BUTT OFF.
>>: CHAIRPERSON, RATHER THAN DEBATE THE MERITS OF THE ARTIST WHICH IS NOT THE ITEM BEFORE YOU.
IF WE COULD GET BACK TO THE QUESTION THAT IS BEFORE YOU.
WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO OBTAIN THESE PIECES OR NOT.
IF NO, I THINK THAT IS THE DIRECTION I AM KIND OF HEARING.
COMMISSIONER BECERRA INDICATED NOT PARTICULARLY THESE PIECES, YOU LIKE THE ARTIST BUT NO TO THE PIECE.
PERHAPS WITH CHAIRPERSON SCHINSKY ALSO, NOT IN LOVE WITH THE MATERIAL AND SO FORTH.
AND I THINK VICE CHAIR ECHOED SOME SIMILAR SENTIMENTS.
IF WE COULD BRING THE CONVERSATION BACK IF I MAY.
>>: WITHOUT KNOWING THE CURRENT CONDITION FOR WHAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE TO MOVE THESE THINGS, I'M NOT PREPARED TO VOTE ON WHETHER OR NOT TO APPROVE OR NOT APPROVE THEM RIGHT NOW.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THEM.
I DO FEEL IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THE LAST PROJECT THEY CAME OUR WAY.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THE INFORMATION IN FRONT OF US AS FAR AS A QUICK FEW PHOTOS OF THE CURRENT CONDITION.
IS THERE ANOTHER LOCATION SET OR ARE THEY ASKING US TO DO THAT? THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF INFORMATION.
THERE'S NO BACKGROUND REPORT, JUST A COUPLE OF LINES ON THE AGENDA.
I THINK THAT WOULD SAVE US FROM HAVING A DISAGREEMENT OVER WHETHER OR NOT WE LIKE THE PIECE OR NOT.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE CONDITION IF WE ARE GOING TO GO FURTHER.
>>: CAN I ASK A QUESTION FOR CLEAR INDICATION, DOES THE COMMISSION WANT TO SEE THIS COME BACK BEFORE YOU NEXT AGENDA IN APRIL WITH THE CONDITION SITUATION AND MAYBE SOME LOCATION THE STAFF MIGHT BE SUITABLE FOR RECONSIDERATION OR THE COMMISSION DOES NOT WANT TO SEE THEM ON THE NEXT AGENDA, THAT IS A QUESTION THAT I HAVE.
>>: I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CONDITION.
BEYOND THAT WE WANT TO PUT IT TO A LOCATION AND WHETHER TO APPROVE IT, WE CAN BRING
[00:40:06]
THAT TO THE NEXT MEETING.I WANT TO KNOW THE CONDITION BEFORE I SAY AYE WANT THE PIECE OR DON'T WANT THE PIECE.
>>: AT THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE, WE COULD BRING IT BACK NEXT AGENDA TO SHOW WHAT KIND OF CONDITION.
>>: I'M FINE TO SEE THE CONDITION.
>>: WE WILL BRING BACK MORE INFORMATION.
>>: TWO COMMISSIONERS PRESENT WANT TO SEE IT BROUGHT BACK.
>>: YOU CAN DISAPPEAR TOTALLY AND I WOULD BE HAPPY.
NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA WILL BE ITEM 5.4.
[5.3. 9/11 Memorial Project: Consider the City’s new Public Safety Campus si...]
I AM SORRY 9/11 MEMORIAL.5.3 WE WENT QUICKLY OVER THIS WORK PLAN.
THIS IS 9/11 MEMORIAL PROJECT.
THIS IS THE PIECE THAT WE HAVE.
IT IS ABOUT 10 - 12 FEET TALL AND IT HAS NATURAL CURVE TO IT.
WE THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR BASICALLY THE CORNER OF DOCTOR CARREON AND JACKSON WHICH INCLUDE IN DATE PALM AS WELL.
AND TO GET YOUR INPUT REGARDING THE VOCATION AND IF THE COMMISSION IS OKAY WITH THE LOCATION AND YOUR PROVING PART OF THE WORK PLAN AND WE CAN GO OUT FOR THE REST OF THE ITEMS TO GET AN ARTIST TO WORK WITH THIS PIECE FOR THAT LOCATION.
BASICALLY WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR OPINION ABOUT LOCATION WHICH EARLIER ON WAS APPROVED.
THIS AGAIN IS THE PIECE THAT WE HAVE.
>>: IT WAS PART OF THE WORK PLAN COULD WE APPROVE THE WORK PLAN.
I THINK THE LOCATION IS PERFECT.
>>: IT'S SUITED FOR BENEFIT I DID BRING INSIGHT PLANS FOR PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPUS.
JUST ON THE CORNER WITH THE THREE TREES THAT ARE HERE WITH THE EXISTING FIRE STATION IS NOW.
THEY ARE GOING TO TEAR DOWN THE STATION.
IS THAT TO BUILD ANOTHER BUILDING OR A LOT IN THE FUTURE?
>>: THAT FIRE STATION WILL COME DOWN ONCE WE BUILD THE THREE BUILDINGS AS PART OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPUS.
LONG-TERM WE WILL ULTIMATELY BUILD THE NEW POLICE HEADQUARTERS WITH THE EXISTING FIRE STATION SITS.
AND DEMOED THE EXISTING POLICE STATION SITS.
ON THAT CORNER IT WILL BE PROMINENT WITH THE NEW POLICE HEADQUARTERS.
>>: THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM ON THE SETBACK TO PLAY SOMETHING THERE?
THERE IS A COUPLE OF IDEAS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT OUT THERE.
ONE SETTING THIS UNDERGROUND AS AN OPTION IN TERMS OF SPACE.
WITH THE SETBACK THERE, IT WILL BE RELATIVELY TIGHT BUT THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM.
>>: MY OTHER QUESTION HAS TO GO TO THE PROCESS WE WENT THROUGH BEFORE WITH THIS PIECE OF STEEL.
ARE WE UNDER ANY OBLIGATION FROM THE ARTIST WITH THE PREVIOUS RFQ.
I KNOW WITH THE EXECUTED CONTRACT WITH THE ARTIST THE COUNCIL PICKED.
>>: I COULD NOT FIND ANY EXECUTED CONTRACT WITH ANY OF THE ARTISTS.
I CHECKED MORE TO SEE IF WE ARE UNDER ANY OBLIGATION.
I BELIEVE A STIPEND WAS PAID TO ALL OF THEM TO COME UP WITH THE CONCEPT.
>>: AT THE TIME THE COMMISSION PICKED ONE IN COUNCIL PICKED ANOTHER.
THE ONE THAT COUNCIL PICKED WE COULD NOT AGREE TO TERMS WITH THE CONTRACT THAT
[00:45:05]
NEEDED TO BE ADDED.FOR WHATEVER REASONS WE WERE COMPLETELY TOLD.
>>: IT WAS ALSO A HUGE COST BECAUSE THERE WAS A LANDSCAPE PLAN ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
IT WAS TOO BURDENSOME ON THE ART FUND BUDGET.
THIS ONE IS A PIECE BY ITSELF BECAUSE THE OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE HARDSCAPE WILL BE THERE.
>>: THE ONLY OBLIGATION WE ARE UNDER.
IF WE GO WITH ONE OF THE ARTIST THAT PUT FORTH THEIR PIECE, THEN WE OBVIOUSLY PAY THEM.
BUT WE ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO GO WITH ANY OF THE RENDERINGS PUT FORTH PRIOR.
>>: I GUESS THAT IS WHAT THE ARTIST -- >>: COULD YOU SPEAK IN THE MICROPHONE?
>>: THERE IS NO PLAN FROM BEFORE ABOUT WHAT WAS WANTED WITH THE PIECE?
>>: WE DID THE REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FIRST.
THEN WE SELECTED A HANDFUL OF ARTIST AND I THINK WE DID FIVE DESIGNS OR WAS IT THREE?
>>: WE GOT FIVE DESIGNS LAST TIME READ FROM THE FIVE WE IDENTIFIED THREE THAT WE WERE INTERESTED IN.
WERE NOT UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO USE ANY OF THOSE.
I WOULD NOW TALK IF WE WANT TO DO THIS WE GOT TO GO BACK THE REQUEST OF QUALIFICATION INTO ANOTHER PROPOSAL ROUND?
>>: WE WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW PROTOCOLS.
>>: IN THE WORK PLAN WE PUT REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.
WHEN THEY DO A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.
THEY SAY WHAT WORK THEY HAVE DONE.
AGAIN, WE HAVE A LIST OF SOME ARTIST THAT WE WILL THROW OUT.
WE CAN GO BACK AND SEND THAT TO THEM SO THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, LOCAL ARTISTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT WE WILL ALSO PUT ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE, SOCIAL MEDIA, WE CAN ADVERTISE ON THE NEWSPAPER AND THE RADIO.
WE CAN GO OUT EVEN MORE AND SEND IT TO SITES THAT THE ADVERTISE FOR SUCH ART PIECE.
AGAIN, THAT WAS THE DIRECTION THAT WAS PUT INTO THE WORK PLAN.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT TO STEPS, THEN THAT WE NEED TO GO BACK ON THE WORK PLAN.
>>: I THINK AN ARTIST RESUME AS THEIR QUALIFICATIONS.
I'M GOING TO TRY TO FIND AN IMAGE.
ANOTHER CITY, I CANNOT REMEMBER WHERE IT WAS, HAD SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS.
WHOEVER WAS BRILLIANT ENOUGH TO DESIGN THE MONUMENT, THEY HAD A MARBLE PLINTH IN THE.
OF GOING VERTICALLY INTO THE SKY.
IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN.
WHEN WE DID THIS PROCESS INITIALLY, THE ARTIST THAT GAVE US PROPOSALS, THEY GAVE US PROPOSALS FOR THEIR SCULPTURE.
AND THEY KIND OF IGNORED THE FACT THAT THIS GIRDER IS A PIECE OF SCULPTURE UNTO ITSELF.
THE SHAPE AND HOW WE GOT THERE AND WHAT MADE IT SO THEY KIND OF IGNORED IN MY ESTIMATION.
I THINK IF INDEED WE DO THIS AGAIN, WE NEED TO STRESS, THE REASON WHY THIS PIECE OF STEEL IS THE WAY IT IS AND TO HIGHLIGHT THE CHARACTER OF THE STEEL OF THE GIRDER.
THAT IS WHAT THIS MONUMENT IS ALL ABOUT.
AS FAR AS LOCATION, IT IS RIGHT THERE WITH FIRST RESPONDERS.
[00:50:01]
>>: YES, I HAVE SEEN THOSE TYPES THAT THEY CREATED.
THERE IS THOUSANDS OF PIECES THAT WERE SENT TO DIFFERENT CITIES AND COUNTIES.
IF WE PUT THE 9/11 MEMORIAL AND THE ARTIFACT FROM THE WORLD TRADE CENTER.
IT WILL POP AND SOME OF THEM ARE VERY STRONG AND POWERFUL BY ITSELF.
>>: I WOULD CONSIDER IF WE FIND ONE AND REALLY LIKE THE WAY IT WAS PRESENTED AND WE INVITE THAT SAME ARTIST TO DO OURS.
>>: I THINK THE ONLY OTHER ITEM TO DISCUSS IS CULTURES LIKE OCULUS SOUL, THE TEEN CENTER AND THE PREVIOUS MURAL, THOSE ARE ALL DONE THROUGH REQUEST OF QUALIFICATION.
THE OTHER SCULPTURE WE HAVE WAS DONE THROUGH PROPOSAL.
AND SO WAS THE ONE THE POETIC AND ATTICS.
THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE THAT WE GET WITH OUR SUBMISSIONS GOING THROUGH THE RFQ WITH THE RFP PROCESS.
THAT IS IT JUST UNDER DISTRICT DISCUSSION.
>>: WHATEVER EVERYONE IS HAPPY WITH.
WE WILL GET OUR BEST SCULPTURE, MONUMENT FROM.
>>: THE RFQ, RFP DOES NOT HAVE TO BE DECIDED TONIGHT.
WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO GET THE FEEDBACK WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE OKAY WITH PROCEEDING WITH THE LOCATION TO COINCIDE WITH THE PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPUS LOCATION.
>>: I AM, SO LONG IS SAFE ON THAT QUARTER WHEN THE FIRE STATION COMES DOWN IN WHATEVER BUILDING GOES BACK UP.
>>: AT THE SAME TIME THIS PIECE IS STEEL.
ARE WE ALL HAPPY WITH THE LOCATION? CAN I HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE LOCATION OF THE 9/11 MEMORIAL PROJECT.
>>: ALL MOTION TO CONSIDER THE CITY'S NEW PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPUS SITE ON NORTHEAST SIDE OF JACKSON STREET AND DR. CARREON AS THE LOCATION.
>>: AND THAT IS FOR THE 9/11 MEMORIAL.
>>: THE NEXT ITEM, I DON'T HAVE A PRESENTATION IT'S TRAFFIC SIGNAL BOX PROGRAM WE NEED 20 MORE IMAGES.
THE STAFF WAS THINKING WE GO DIRECTLY TO THE TEEN CENTER AND CREATE AN RFP BASED ON THE INPUT FROM THE COMMISSION LAST TIME TO REVISE THE RFP AND GO THERE AND STAFF CAN PROVIDE THE PRESENTATION TO THE TEEN CENTER AND TO THE TEENAGERS
[5.4. Teen Center Traffic Signal Box: Solicit additional images for the City...]
AND TELL THEM WHAT DOES THAT MEAN.SO WE CAN GET ADDITIONAL IMAGES FROM THE TEEN CENTER AND THE MEMBERS OF THE TEEN CENTER FASTER SO WE CAN WRAP UP THE PROGRAM.
ALSO IT WILL BE FOLLOWING THE GOALS OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN TO OPEN THE PROGRAMS TO MORE AGES AND MORE DIVERSE AGES AND DIVERSE BACKGROUND.
AND I WORK WITH THE TEEN CENTER MANAGERS FOR GETTING IT OUT, POSTING IT AND GET MORE IMAGES FASTER.
THE STAFF WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE THAT SUGGESTION.
>>: AND I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS?
>>: I WILL MOVE THAT YOU SOLICIT PROPOSALS FROM THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL FROM THE TEEN CENTER MEMBERS.
>>: TO GO TO THE NEXT ITEM THE PUBLIC ARTS PROGRAM AND ARTIST ADVOCACY.
[5.5. Public Arts Program and Artist Advocacy: Consider a “City of Indio Pub...]
THE STAFF WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST ANY CITY EVENT THAT WE HAVE A PUBLIC ARTS[00:55:06]
COMMISSION IN THE PUBLIC ARTS PROGRAM BOOTH.AT THAT WE CAN TALK TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT OUR COMMISSION, ABOUT THE PROGRAMS EVEN IF SOME OF THE ARTIST OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES ARTIST.
WE CAN GET THE INFORMATION IN ENTRY INTO THE REGISTRY.
THE STAFF WILL BE THERE BUT IF WE WANT TO MAKE IT MORE FUN AND OFFICIAL, MAY BE A COMMITTEE NEEDS TO BE FORM SO THE COMMITTEE ADVENTS WITH ONE OR MORE MEMBERS.
IF THEY WANT TO DO THE COMMITTEE STAFF WILL BE THERE TO HAND OUT THIS INFORMATION AND COLLECT INFORMATION.
THE STAFF WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO DO SUCH A THING.
WHICH COULD BE AT OUR FARMERS MARKET NOW, ARE SATURDAY'S EVENT, AND ANY OTHER EVENT THAT IS AT THE CITY.
FOR EXAMPLE THE ART FESTIVAL IN THE TAMALE FESTIVAL.
THERE'S A LOT OF PLACES THAT WE CAN HAVE THAT.
>>: I THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA.
>>: I WILL MOTION TO APPROVE THE PUBLIC ARTS PROGRAM IN THIS EFFICACY.
>>: I WILL ADD TO THAT I THINK STAFF SHOULD NOT BE THE ONLY PERSON THERE, THERE SHOULD BE A MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION WITH YOU.
>>: I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS WELL.
MAYBE WE DO A ROTATION EVERY TIME THERE IS ONE COMMISSIONER THERE.
WE WORKED THE DETAILS AND WE WILL GIVE IT BACK TO YOU.
>>: LINE SIX CB ART OPPORTUNITY.
[5.6. CV Link Art Opportunity: Review the CV Link path within the City and d...]
>>: 5.6 IS AN CIVILIANS OPPORTUNITY.
I WILL WAIT FOR SAHARA TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE SLIDE.
THE FIRST LOCATION IS FREDERICK AVENUE BRIDGE.
THIS SHOWS WHERE THE CV LINK GOES TO THE CITY.
FROM JEFFERSON IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO CALHOUN, THAT IS THE CITY'S BOUNDARY IN THE BLUE.
ANYTHING DOWN OF CALHOUN IS NOW IN THE CITY OF INDIO.
THESE ARE EXISTING FACILITIES WITHIN THE VALLEY ROAD AS YOU SEE THEY PUT SOME ART, THERE IS SIGN SHADE IN THESE OR OTHER RENDERINGS FROM THE CV LINK.
AS YOU SEE, THEY ADDED ART ELEMENTS TO THE ROUTE.
AS YOU SEE THE SIGNAGE THIS IS WHERE THEY ARE.
THERE WILL BE SOME LIGHTING IN THE NIGHT AS WELL.
THIS MAP SHOWS UNDER A BRIDGE CROSSING, WHERE ARE THE PLACES THAT THE BIKES AND VISITORS WOULD NEED TO COME ONTO THE STREETS.
LOCATION THAT STAFF WOULD THINK IS FRED WARING BRIDGE.
AS YOU SEE IT GETS GRAFFITI DOUBLETIME.
THAT COULD BE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME TYPE OF NOT PRONOUNCED SOMETHING TO FLOW WITH THE BRIDGE AND MAYBE THE CONCEPT.
THERE IS AN OPENING THEIR SO MAYBE THE BIKES WILL COME THROUGH THE OPENING TO THE STREET WITH THE BIKE LANE.
THE OTHER OPPORTUNITY IS SHIELDS PARK ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE NEXT TO THE
[01:00:09]
WATER TANKER IS SHIELDS PARK.THERE WILL BE A CONNECTION FROM CV LINK TO THAT PARK.
THE OTHER CONNECTION IS TO JACKSON PARK WHICH IS CLOSE TO THE INTER-MONUMENT AREA WHICH THE COMMISSION APPROVED AS PART OF THE WORK PLAN.
THESE ARE THE THREE VARIOUS OBVIOUS OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE COULD BASICALLY DO SOMETHING.
IT IS WITHIN THE CITIES OPPORTUNITIES IN THE CITY RIGHT AWAY SO WE DON'T HAVE TO GET PERMISSION FROM CV LINK OR CBWD THE STAFF WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHICH LOCATION AND OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO SEE FOR PUBLIC ARTS AMONG THESE THREE AND ALSO THE BUDGET OF $50000.
>>: BUT WE ARE JUST CHOOSING ONE?
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHOOSE TO THEN THAT WOULD BE FOR THE NEXT PLAN.
WE CAN GET WITH CV LINK AND SAY WE HAVE THESE TWO OPTIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW WE ARE NOT INTERFERING WITH THEM BUT BRING IT BACK FOR EXECUTION FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
>>: I DEFINITELY WANT SOMETHING AT SHIELDS PARK.
JACKSON PARK IS HEAVILY USED WITH BASEBALL GAMES IN THE SCHOOL RIGHT THERE.
I THINK BOTH OF THOSE ARE GREAT LOCATIONS.
BUT DEFINITELY SHIELDS IS A GOOD LOCATION.
>>: THE WORK PLAN THAT WE JUST APPROVED, WE CHOSE JACKSON PARK FOR ONE OF THE MONUMENT PIECES.
SO WERE TAKING CARE OF THAT JACKSON PARK.
SHIELDS, IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING IN ONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
BUT I ALSO LOVE THE IDEA OF HAVE SOMETHING ON FRED WARING BRIDGE.
THAT ISSUE SO EXTENSIVELY THAT THE NUMBER OF VIEWERS WOULD BE A LOT HIGHER THAN SOME OTHER LOCATIONS.
IF WE CAN SAY WE WANT BOTH AND ONE PUT INTO THE NEXT WORKPLAN.
>>: I LIKE THE IDEA OF PRIORITIZING SHIELDS PARK.
GETTING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
DO YOU KNOW IF CV LINK WILL BE DOING ANY INFRASTRUCTURE RIGHT THERE IN THE BIKE LANE LEADING INTO CV LINK?
>>: THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING WITHIN THE CITY'S PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY.
IT COMES TO A POINT IN THAT IS IT.
THEY CREATE A SAFE PROPER CONNECTION BUT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO THE PARK.
>>: WHAT IS A CROSSING AT FRED WARING.
>>: THEY ARE GOING TO BUILD A BRIDGE OVER THE CANAL.
>>: OVER THE TOP OF THE BRIDGE WERE UNDER THE BRIDGE OF FRED WARING?
>>: YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FRED WARING, THAT IS UNDER.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT SHIELDS.
>>: FRED WARING CV LINK IS COVERING THE BRIDGE THAT GOES UNDERNEATH THE FRED WARING BRIDGE?
DO WE WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THIS WITH THE CAVEAT THAT WE LIKE SHIELDS AND FRED WARING.
>>: WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD TO THE BUDGET FOR TWO OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO KEEP 50000 FOR BOTH PROJECTS?
>>: I'M COMFORTABLE WITH ADDING SHIELDS FOR NOW UNLESS WE WANT TO GO FOR TWO.
>>: THE QUESTION WAS A BUDGET.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO INCREASE THE BUDGET OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO USE 50000 FOR BOTH.
>>: UP TO $50000 EACH CORRECT?
>>: WOULD SHIELDS REALLY BE THE PRIORITY?
>>: WITH SHIELDS BE IN THE PRIORITY, OKAY.
[01:05:02]
>>: I WILL MOVE WE ADD A SECOND LOCATION WITH THE CV LINK OPPORTUNITY PRIORITIZING SHIELDS PARK.
FOR THIS YEAR'S WORKPLAN INCREASING THE BUDGET TO $50000 EACH.
>>: I WILL SECOND THAT MOTION.
>>: VICE CHAIRPERSON NEUMEYER'S.
>>: 5.7 THE MURAL OPPORTUNITY.
[5.7. Downtown Living Room Mural Opportunity: Consider a future mural projec...]
>>: I HAVE A QUICK PRESENTATION AS YOU MENTIONED 5.7.
IT SHOWS THE LOCATION, THERE IS A COUPLE OF EVENTS DOWNTOWN THAT HAPPEN EACH MONTH WHICH IS THE MUSIC THAT TAKES THE CENTER STAGE.
EVERY WEEK IS THE FARMERS MARKET.
FOR THAT THE CITY IS GOING TO BUILD A MODULAR RESTROOM THAT WILL BE WITHIN THIS AREA.
THERE IS OPPORTUNITY FOR ART WHICH COULD BE PAINTS, MURAL OR ANYTHING ON THAT MODULAR BUILDING.
STAFF WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A PAINTED MURAL OR A COMBINATION? AND IF SO, HOW MUCH OF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO DEDICATE TO THIS IN THE STAFF BRINGS BACK MORE DETAIL NEXT AGENDA MEETING OR NEXT MEETING ON THE AGENDA FOR MORE DETAILS OF WHERE THE EXACT LOCATION IS.
AT THIS POINT WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ART.
>>: TO PAINT A MODULAR RESTROOM BUILDING?
>>: IF I MAY, WHEN I HEAR MODULAR, I THINK TEMPORARY.
IT IS A TRADITIONAL PREFAB RESTROOM?
FOR EXAMPLE LET'S TAKE DR. CARREON PARK, THAT IS A PREFAB.
IT IS MADE AND THEY DROP IT IN WITH THE CRANE.
IT IS A BLOCK WALL AND THAT IS ESSENTIALLY THE MATERIAL THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.
WE THOUGHT IF WE GET TO PUT A PREFAB RESTROOM IN THEIR, LET'S BEAUTIFY THE AREA WITH THE POTENTIAL MURAL ALONG THE SIDE OF THE EXTERIOR SO IT BLENDS IN A BIT BETTER AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE LIVING AND CONCEPT.
>>: IT WILL BE ON A FIXED FOUNDATION.
IT WILL HAVE PLUMBING AND CONNECT TO THE SEWER AND HAVE WATER AND LIGHTING.
>>: IN LIGHTING ON THE BUILDING ITSELF? .
>>: IT MADE SENSE TO ME AS LONG AS I HAD A SENSE OF HUMOR ANY THOUGHTS?
>>: I AM FINE WITH MURALS ALL AROUND.
>>: ALL OF THESE WILL CREATE MORE OPPORTUNITY.
WE ARE TRYING TO BASICALLY FULFILL WHAT THE COMMISSION HAS DECIDED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN.
>>: WITHOUT SEEING A SCALE WITH THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BUDGET OPT TO BE.
I'M FINE WITH TAILING IT UNTIL NEXT MONTH WHEN WE HAVE -- YOU ARE SAYING IT'S
[6.1. Update on Ad Hoc Committee to merge the two Commissions: An update on ...]
[01:11:10]
A PREFAB.YOU'RE PROBABLY SELECTING FROM SOMEBODY'S CATALOG OF DESIGN.
SO YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN THE WORKS?
[6.2. Coachella Valley History Museum Water Tower: An update on the Water To...]
SHOOTING FROM THE HIP, WHICH WE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T DO.
EIGHT BY 10 FEET SPACE, THEY ARE ALL PREFAB STANDARD SIZE AND WERE HAPPY TO BRING THAT
[01:15:04]
BACK TO YOU.>>: I JUST LOOKED AT ONE THAT WAS A SHIPPING CONTAINER IN THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS AND IT COST THEM A FORTUNE.
I DON'T RECOMMEND MAKING A CUSTOM ONE.
THE PREFAB IS PROBABLY THE WAY TO GO.
[6.3. Mural Conservation Assessment Update: An update on the mural conservat...]
>>: WE BRING BACK MORE DETAILS AND THEN YOU CAN DECIDE ON THE BUDGET NEXT TIME.
[01:20:01]
THE COMMISSION JUST NEEDS A BOW ON THE CONCEPT IF THE COMMISSION IS OKAY WITH IT.>>: I WILL MOTION TO APPROVE DOWNTOWN MURAL OPPORTUNITY.
[6.4. Budget Update: To receive and file the Art Fund summary from 2019 to 2...]
[7. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS]
>>: REGARDING THE COMMITTEE WITH TWO COMMISSIONS, THE PUBLIC ARTS COMMISSION AND
[01:25:23]
COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION.BOTH COMMITTEES MET ON FEBRUARY 23RD 2022 AND THE OUTCOME WAS TO MEET AT A JOINT MEETING IN A QUARTERLY FASHION OR AS NEEDED FOR COLLABORATION.
ALSO SHARING THE INFORMATION BETWEEN BOTH COMMISSION BY SENDING THE INFORMATION TO STAFF AND THE STAFF SHARED WITH THEM FOR NOW.
IF IT GOES TO THE FUTURE AND ANY CHANGES, THE COMMITTEES WOULD WORK TOGETHER TO BRING BACK THE CHANGES TO EACH COMMISSION.
BY THIS POINT THERE IS NO MERGE.
MR. SCHINSKY WAS IN THAT MEETING IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING.
>>: COLLABORATION AND COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TWO COMMISSIONS.
[01:33:39]
THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT THEY HAD DONE IN THE PAST WITH THE ART IN THE SQUARE PROJECT.THAT WAS ONE OF THE PRIORITIES TO DO.
I SAID WE'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS UP TO A CERTAIN POINT.
COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION.
THEY ARE VERY WILLING TO DO THAT.
>>: THIS IS AN UPDATE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANY VOTING.
IF THE CHAIR WOULD LIKE, WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
>>: 6.2 IS COACHELLA VALLEY HISTORY MUSEUM WATER TOWER.
YOU HAVE A STAFF REPORT REGARDING THAT.
IN THE STAFF REPORT UC ONE OF THE ATTACHMENTS TO THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL WAS BASICALLY A DATASHEET OR INFORMATIONAL SHEET THAT SAYS PROJECTIONS ARE GOOD, LIFETIME OF THE PROJECTIONS 5 - 7 YEARS.
THEY NEED TO BE INSTALLED IN A CERTAIN TIME OF THE YEAR.
THEY CANNOT BE UNDER THE SUN IN THE HOT SUMMER.
ALSO, THERE WAS A FEE FOR DIGITAL IN MAKING IMAGES AVAILABLE FOR THE PROJECTION.
AT THIS POINT THE PROJECTIONS ARE NOT OPERABLE.
STAFF WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE COMMISSION BASED ON WHAT WAS APPROVED IN 2016 WOULD LIKE TO DIRECT THE STAFF TO GO INTO MORE DETAIL RESEARCH AND CONTACT THE INSTALLER FOR ADDITIONAL REPAIRS OR CHANGE OF THOSE PROJECTIONS BECAUSE 5 - 7 YEARS.
THE LIFETIME IS ALMOST GETTING TO THE END.
ALSO THE OTHER THING WE WOULD PROBABLY LIKE TO INVOLVE THE MUSEUM TO SEE WHAT ARE THEIR THOUGHTS AND BASICALLY TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND SEE HOW WE CAN FIX THE ISSUES AND MAKE OPERABLE.
STAFF WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT? THAT IS NOT AN ACTION ITEM.
>>: I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO BRING THIS BACK UP AND MAKE THEM RUN.
I WANT TO FIND OUT FROM SOMEONE ELSE WHAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE TO DO THAT.
THE BACKGROUND ON THIS, STAFF AT THE TIME, I DON'T THINK ENOUGH RESEARCH.
WHEN I REACHED OUT TO OTHER COMPANIES HE PASSED ON THE ORIGINAL BUDGET, THEY SAID WHAT WE WERE PLANNING TO DO IS GOING TO BE TWICE AS MUCH ON WHAT WE PLANNED ON SPENDING.
HAD WE KNOWN THAT AT THE BEGINNING I DON'T GET THE WE WOULD HAVE GONE AFTER SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
BECAUSE OF HIGH STAFF TURNOVER.
WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GET ALL THE ANSWERS AS FAR AS HOW TO SEPARATE OURSELVES FROM FELIPE'S ORGANIZATION.
THE IDEA THAT HE WOULD RUN THE INSTALL, EQUIPPED WITH THE HARDWARE AND GET US TO THE POINT WHERE WE CAN ADMINISTER AND FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO RUN THE PROGRAM AND THE ACTUAL DIGITIZING.
WE WERE NEVER ABLE TO GO BEYOND WHAT OTHER PLACES DO WITH PROJECTORS AS FAR AS
[01:35:01]
HAVING REGULAR DISPLAYS OR HAVING DIGITAL GRAFFITI FEST THAT THEY HAVE IN FLORIDA.THERE IS A KIND OF THINGS THAT THEY DID.
I DON'T OPEN SOMETHING THAT WE TALK ABOUT WITH THE BUDGET AND IF WE KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO FIX IT AND DO IT RIGHT AND AT SOME POINT FIND OUT IF IT'S TOO MUCH TO STOMACH OR SOMETHING WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO DO.
IT'S A MATTER OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND IS IT WORTHWHILE.
>>: THE OTHER ONE, I BELIEVE WE SPENT $100,000 TO GET INTO THIS POINT.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE TWICE IS THAT, TO GET IT TO RUN.
IT MAY BE $200,000 OR $250,000.
IT'S A DECISION THAT THE COMMISSION AND ULTIMATELY THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO MAKE WITH INPUT FROM THE HISTORY MUSEUM.
WE CAN BRING BACK MORE INFORMATION.
ALSO WE CAN INCLUDE THE MUSEUM.
I WOULD SAY MAYBE MAY WE CAN BRING SOMETHING BACK WITH MORE DETAIL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
>>: I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING E.J.
TO GET TO A CONCLUSION ON THIS PROJECT.
WHETHER IT WILL WORK OR IT WON'T WORK.
AND GET INTO THAT CONCLUSION, IF THERE IS GOING TO BE EXPENDITURES, I THINK THE MUSEUM SHOULD CHIP IN.
AND HELP PAY FOR WHATEVER INFORMATION THAT WE NEED.
WE WILL DO MORE RESEARCH ON THAT.
WE WILL DISCUSS IT WITH THE MUSEUM.
I WILL PROBABLY BRING BACK MORE DETAIL IN DAY.
THERE IS ALSO A CAVEAT TO BRING SOMETHING BACK IN APRIL TO CREATE A COMMITTEE TO DO THE REST.
IF THE COMMISSION IS OKAY WITH THAT?
MURAL CONSERVATION ASSESSMENT UPDATE.
>>: TODAY WE HAVE ALL THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS THAT WE NEEDED.
THERE'S A 20% WE NEED TO TWEAK AND GET IT TO THE FINISH LINE.
THE GOOD THING IS, WE HAVE RECEIVED CONSENT AGREEMENT FROM THE TWO ARTIST THAT THE MURAL NEEDS TO BE REMOVED.
THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE CITY IN THE COMMISSION AS WELL.
ONE OF THE MURALS, WHICH IS THE DATE HISTORY WILL BE PART OF THE DOWNTOWN FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.
ONLY ONE CURRENTLY THAT WE WILL REMOVE OR THE ARTS COMMISSION WILL REMOVE THE ELECTRICITY HISTORY.
THAT ONE, WE ARE ALSO LUCKY THE GRAFFITI TEAM HAS TOLD US THAT THEY CAN DO THAT FOR A FRACTION OF THE PRICE.
WE WILL SAVE ABOUT 5 - $6000 ON THAT.
THE OTHER THING IS THE ARTIST FOR THE INDIAN VILLAGE IS ALSO AVAILABLE AND HE IS GOING TO REPAIR THAT MURAL FOR THE AMOUNT OF 2200.
WE ARE SENDING A CONTRACT FOR SIGNING IT AND THAT IS THE CITY PROPERTY.
WE CAN START AS SOON AS HE'S READY TO DO SO.
THOSE ARE THE UPDATES IN THEM MURAL CONSERVATION PROGRAM.
WE ALSO NEED TO PUT SOME GRAFFITI COAT THAT THE ARTIST IS GOING TO REPAIR SUGGESTED.
I CHECKED AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE USING IT IN THE L.A.
AREA WHICH THERE MURALS GET TAGGED ALL THE TIME INTO IT SHOWS THE WARM WATER, YOU CAN REMOVE THE GRAFFITI.
IT ADDS A MORE DEPTH AND SHINE TO THE PAINT JUST BY APPLYING IT.
IF THAT WORKS WELL, IT WILL BE VERY EASY TO CLEAN THE OTHER ONES WITH THE ANTI-GRAFFITI COULD MAKE THE MURALS TO SHINE AND BE MORE VIBRANT.
>>: DO WE HAVE ANY ESTIMATED COST ON THE ANTI-GRAFFITI?
I NEED TO TALK TO THE ARTIST TO SEE WHAT HE RECOMMENDS TO USE FOR THAT MURAL.
I WILL BRING THAT COST AS WELL.
I'M SURE WE WILL STILL BE UNDER THE APPROVED BUDGET.
>>: $2200 IS ALL HE SAYING TO FIX THAT?
>>: I TRUST THAT HE'S GOING TO DO A GOOD JOB.
>>: HE IS THE ORIGINAL ARTIST.
>>: EVEN WITH ANTI-GRAFFITI COVERING IT IS GOING TO BE LESS.
WE ASKED HIM OVER 16000 TO HAVE IT FIXED.
>>: WHAT IS THE COMMA ABOUT THE DATE HISTORY MUSEUM, THE MURAL WITH THE FAÇADE.
>>: THE FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM THROUGH THE OPEN DEPARTMENT.
THEY ARE GOING TO REVAMP THE FAÇADE OF THE ENTIRE BUILDING.
THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT REMOVAL AS WELL.
>>: JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION I DON'T BELIEVE IS THE FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
BUT IN COLLABORATION WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WE WILL ADDRESS THE PARTICULAR BUILDING AND MURAL AND HOPEFULLY ACTUALLY HAVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO COVER THE COST OF TAKING THAT DOWN AND REPAINTING.
BUT WE'RE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
BUT LEILA NAMVAR AND I WERE TALKING TODAY UNDER THE ASSUMPTION OF THIS FAÇADE AND IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS STILL IRONING THAT OUT TO SEE HOW IT IS LOOKING ON THEREIN.
JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION.
>>: IN MY HEAD IS SOUNDED LIKE WE'RE GOING TO SAVE THE MURAL, HOW?
>>: JUST REMIND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WE GAVE THEM $25000 FOR THE CACTI.
>>: THE STAFF PROVIDED YOU WITH THE STAFF REPORT THAT SHOWS FISCAL YEAR '20 19, 2020, 2021 HOW MUCH MONEY CAME INTO THE ART FUND AND HOW MUCH WAS SPENT.
ALSO THERE IS A TABLE THAT SHOWS HOW MUCH WE CURRENTLY HAVE AN ART FUND AFTER WE PAY ALL OF THOSE FEES THAT WE NEED TO PAY TO THE ARTIST.
FOR EXAMPLE, THAT NEEDS TO BE PAID, THE AVENUE BRIDGE THE NEEDS TO BE PAPERED WITH THIS PAID AFTER THE CONTRACT.
AND SOME MISCELLANEOUS AND OTHER FEES THAT NEED TO BE PAID.
WE WILL HAVE CLOSE TO $750,000 IN ART FUND.
HOWEVER, THAT AMOUNT HAS NOT BEEN APPROPRIATED.
TONIGHT WORK PLAN, SOME OF THAT WILL BE APPROPRIATED TO EXECUTE THE WORK PLAN.
THAT AGAIN IS FOR THE COMMISSION TO RECEIVE AND FILE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN ANSWER, WE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER.
WE CAN BRING IT BACK TO YOU NEXT COMMISSION MEETING.
ITEM 7, COMMISSIONER COMMENTS?
>>: I DO NOT HAVE ANY ITEMS TO LET US KNOW ABOUT.
>>: A TEACHER FROM INDO HIGHSCHOOLER CALLED ME.
I DID MISS HER CALL BUT SHE LEFT A MESSAGE EXPRESSING THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO A MURAL IN THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE MIGRANT PROGRAM.
AND I SUGGESTED TO OSCAR IF WE COULD PROPOSE A SPOT NEXT TO THE CACTI AS A SPOT FOR THE PROJECT.
SINCE IT IS THE SPACE WE WANT TO GET FILLED.
>>: UNDER STAFF INFORMATION WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BASICALLY TOUCH BASE ON THE PROJECT.
YOU CAN SAY NOW OR WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT ITEM.
>>: WE ARE ACTUALLY CONTACTING BY I BELIEVE THE SAME TEACHER ALONG WITH THE INDIVIDUALS THAT RUN THE PROGRAM FOR COE.
WE HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION, WE WERE ON ZOOM, LEILA NAMVAR AND I AND THE TWO OF THEM IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL AREAS AND WE ESSENTIALLY SAID WE ARE HAPPY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.
SO THIS COMING WEEK WE WERE GOING TO GET BACK TO THEM WITH POTENTIAL LOCATIONS.
ONCE WE HAVE THE LOCATION STYLED IN THEN WE WOULD COME BACK TO THE COMMISSION IN APRIL AND PRESENT THIS ITEM TO YOU.
JUST SO YOU KNOW BEHIND-THE-SCENES, WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM.
WE ARE HAPPY WITH THE GET THE GREAT IDEA AND A GREAT CONCEPT.
BUT THEY ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT BUDGET AND LOCATION AND TIMELINE.
THEY WANT TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT PRIOR TO THE SCHOOL YEAR COMING OUT.
WE LOOKED AT THE CALENDAR AND SAID OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS IF WE CAN DIAL IN THE DETAILS AND WE HIT IT BEFORE THE COMMISSION APRIL 12.
IT STILL ALLOWS THEM AMPLE TIME TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT.
IT IS IN THE WORKS AND MORE TO COME ON THAT AT THE NEXT MEETING.
>>: WHO ARE THE INDIVIDUALS YOU ARE DEALING WITH?
>>: MYRA -- I WILL PULL UP THE E-MAIL.
>>: MYRA SANCHEZ IS WITH THE COUNTY.
>>: EXACTLY SHE REMEMBERED ME FROM THE ART CENTER.
>>: THERE ARE TEN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AT INDIO IN THE PROGRAM.
THEY ARE WORKING WITH THEM AND AS HE SAID WE WILL BRING IT BACK TO YOU.
>>: ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE WALL BY THE CACTI?
>>: A POTENTIAL OPTION BUT AT THIS POINT WE HAVE SEVERAL IDEAS ON THE TABLE AND WE EVEN TALKED ABOUT THE CROSSWALKS, THE SMALL MURAL PROJECTS, WE EVEN THROUGHOUT THE CONCEPT OF THAT.
WHAT WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AWAY FROM AT THIS POINT IS A LARGE WALL MURAL.
JUST BECAUSE THAT IS HIGH REAL ESTATE AND WE WOULD WANT TO DEFER TO THE COMMISSION.
AS WERE DOING THE MURAL PROJECTS AND UPDATES MOVING FORWARD THAT WE WOULD WANT TO RESERVE THAT FOR SOMETHING ELSE.
AT THIS POINT IN TIME WE DON'T HAVE AN ACTUAL SPACE IDENTIFIED.
WE KNOW IF THE RESTAURANT WAS IN AT THAT POINT IN TIME, WE COULD ENTERTAIN THAT BUT IT UNFORTUNATELY WILL NOT BE.
BUT WE'RE OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS.
AGAIN, WE WILL CIRCLE BACK LIKELY WITHIN TOMORROW AND HAVE ANOTHER CALL.
>>: IF I COULD, THE STUDENTS ARE WILLING AND UPWARD, I THINK GIVING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE THEM THAT MUCH REAL ESTATE WOULD BE REALLY GOOD IDEA.
OPPOSED TO THE SMALLER PIECES.
I THINK THEY CAN GET IT DONE AND IT WOULD BE REALLY COOL PIECE.
>>: I THINK THAT WAS OUR INITIAL CONCERN, THE TIMELINE.
IF WE WENT WITH A LARGE PIECE COULD THEY FINISH IT BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR GETS OUT ON JUNE 3.
BUT GREAT DIALOGUE AND THEY ARE EXCITED AND WE ARE EXCITED.
WE JUST NEED TO FINALIZE THE DEAL POINTS.
>>: COULD WORK AFTER SCHOOL IS OUT?
>>: THE OTHER CONCERNED WE HAD A SAFETY.
THEY NEED TO GET ON THE LADDER IN THOSE THINGS.
THAT'S WHY WE SET SOMETHING MORE MANAGEABLE AND SMALL COULD BE MORE FEASIBLE.
[01:40:01]
>>: I WONDER IF THE THOUGHT OF ANY LOCATIONS IN THE CAMPUS OF INDO HIGH SCHOOL.
THIS STRIKES ME OF LIVING ON THE STREET FROM THE FOOTBALL STADIUM IS THE WHOLE BACKSIDE.
THE WALL THAT FACES THE SIDEWALK.
IF THAT IS AVAILABLE OR JUST ANY OTHER PLACE?
>>: ONE AREA THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED AFTER WE HAD OUR PHONE CALL WITH THEM.
WE WERE THINKING ABOUT THE BASKETBALL COURT SURFACE.
THEY COULD DO A PRETTY COOL PIECE RIGHT THERE.
ONE CHALLENGE I CAME UP WITH THAT, WE ARE GOING TO RESURFACE THE BASKETBALL COURT SO THE TIMING MAY NOT WORK OUT WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE.
THEN WE MOVE INTO POSSIBLY DOING ONE OF THE WALLS INSIDE OF THE TEEN CENTER.
AGAIN LOTS OF SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS THAT WE ARE STILL CONSIDERING.
DEFINITELY POINT WELL TAKEN VICE CHAIRMAN.
>>: IF ANYTHING IT SHOULD BE AN EXTERIOR WALL.
THAT WAY GENERAL PUBLIC PEOPLE CAN SEE WHAT YOUNG ARTIST IN THIS COMMUNITY ARE DOING.
THEY WILL NEVER SEE IT INSIDE THE TEEN CENTER.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS? ANYONE HAVE ANY TIDBITS THEY WANT TO SHARE? OUR NEXT MEETING IS APRIL 12.
>>: APRIL 8 COACHELLA VALLEY ART CENTER IS HAVING AN OPENING OF CULTURAL CANNIBALISM.
IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY INTERESTING EXHIBITION.
I'VE GOT FIVE ARTISTRY INSTALLATION PIECES BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF CULTURAL CANNIBALISM.
YOU CAN SEE HOW EACH PERSON INTERPRETS THAT.
WE SHOULD BE GETTING A LOT OF GOOD PRESS.
KIM MANFRED IS ONE OF THE ARTIST AND SHE JUST HAD A PROFILE ON PALM SPRINGS LIFE AND IT WAS MENTIONED THERE.
>>: OF THE CHAIRPERSON SHARE THE INFORMATION.
IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN SEND IT TO ME I WILL SHARE IT WITH THE COMMITTEE SERVICES COMMISSION.
>>: STAFF UPDATES? I THINK WE JUST GAVE THEM.
>>: I JUST WANT TO ADD ONE COMMENT.
WE ADDED A NEW AGENDA ITEM WHICH IS PRESENTATION BY LOCAL ARTIST OR OUR ORGANIZATIONS.
THIS IS IN LINE WITH ARTIST ADVOCACY AND IN LINE WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN.
WE WILL HAVE THAT IN ALL OF OUR AGENDAS.
AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING COMING UP WE WILL PRESENT THOSE BEFORE YOU.
WE NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT TO ARTIST AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS.
IF THEY HAVE SOMETHING THEY WANT TO SAY, COME AND SAY IT.
WE ARE HERE TO REPRESENT THEM AND BENEFIT THE CITY.
YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.
I GUESS WE ARE NUMBER NINE, ADJOURNMENT.
>>: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
