[00:02:09]
FEHR FEHR WAYMOND FERMOND ORT ORT OSCAR ORTIZ AMITH LUPE RAMOS AMITH TERAN >> I HAVE A FEW IDEAS, FOR EXAMPLE, WE CAN DO A SHOW ABOUT COACHELLA AND I'M
[00:05:02]
TALKING ABOUT THE FESTIVAL OR STAGECOACH.I THINK TO CELEBRATE, YOU KNOW, THESE TWO INCREDIBLE EVENTS WOULD BE A GREAT SHOW.
WE CAN DO SOMETHING MAYBE A LITTLE MORE USEFUL FOR THE MUSEUM SUCH AS MAYBE A WEDDING, GENERIC WEDDING MAPPING, IN WHICH WE CAN CHANGE THE VIDEO FOR THE GROOM AND THE BRIDE.
IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, I WOULD LOVE TO COME BACK AT THIS TIME WITH A POWER POINT AND SHOW YOU GUYS SOME OF OUR IDEAS.
MEANTIME, IF YOU GUYS WANT TO START THINKING OF WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE, WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR SUGGESTIONS.
AT THIS POINT IN THE SHORT TERM, WE'RE HOPING TO GET THE PROJECTORS AND THE SHOW BACK BY NEXT WEEK.
>> ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE'RE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW, NUMBER ONE, WE'VE HAD, YOU KNOW, HIGH TURNOVER AND STAFF SINCE BETWEEN WHEN WE FIRST SET IT UP AND NOW.
ONE OF THE GOALS FOR THE PROJECTOR IS FOR THIS TO BE ALMOST TURNKEY, SO WE CAN HAVE A MAP AND WHETHER IT WAS YOU OR ANOTHER OUTSIDE CONSULTANT COULD ACTUALLY APPLY TO PUT ARTWORK ON THIS, NOT NECESSARILY GO THROUGH EVERYTHING, ALTHOUGH -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAS SLIPPED THROUGH WITH THE STAFF TURNOVER.
WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO THE POINT, WHERE WE CAN HAVE SOMEONE ADAPT ARTWORK AND COMMON, AND BRING THAT TO US TO DISPLAY IN THE WATER TOWER.
THAT'S ONE OF THE GOALS WE WANTED TO GET TO, TO THAT POINT.
IS THAT TO SIMPLIFY IT AND MAKE IT -- AND IT WOULD ALMOST BE LIKE, IF SOMEONE COULD COME ALONG AND PUT IN A DVD.
OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S LOT MORE THREE COMPLEX, WITH THREE ARRAY, PRINTER MAP AND ALL OF THAT.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET TO THAT DIRECTION.
>> THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN OH, FOR THE TIME IT WORKED, IT WORKED PERFECTLY WELL.
AND THEN, THERE'S SOMEBODY WHO DROPPED THE BALL ON THE CLIENT'S SIDE, I'M AFRAID.
AND THEN THERE'S THE TURNOVER AND THE CUT COVID HIT, LESS LEFT.
AND WE DID CREATE SOME ACCURATE MODELS, MANUALS OF BOTH OF THE OPERATIONS AND HOW TO UPDATE THE CONTENT WITHOUT OUR INVOLVEMENT.
AND IF THIS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED, IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.
HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT'S A WATER TOWER AND IT'S CIRCULAR, IT'S NOT TRIVIAL.
YOU CAN'T JUST BRING AN IMAGE AND IT WILL SHOW.
THERE'S MAPPING TO A VIRTUAL CYLINDER WE HAVE IN OUR COMPUTER.
I DON'T THINK ARTISTS WILL BE ABLE TO JUST BRING A DVD.
THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMEONE WHO TAKES THE DVD AND CHANGES IS TO A CONTENT THAT'S PROJECTABLE.
IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE US, BUT YOU NEED THAT PERSON.
YES, THE GOAL IS ABSOLUTELY, WE'RE NOT INVOLVED IN ANY OF THE STEPS.
YOU WILL NEED A TECHNICAL PERSON, IF IT'S NOT US, IT HAS TO BE SOMEONE ELSE BUT
YOU WILL NEED THAT >> I HAVE A QUESTION.
COULD WE PURSUE SOMEONE LOCALLY WHO WHO HAS EXPERTISE AND DETERMINE A COST? SHOULD WE DECIDE WE WANT TO ADD THOSE TYPES OF IMAGES, SOMEONE LOCAL, SOMEONE WE CAN RELY ON?
>> THE GOAL IS FOR THE TWO, I WOULD SAY, MATT LEE AND MATT HARRA ARE MORE THAN CAPABLE TO DO THIS.
YOU DO NEED A BIT OF GRAPHICSES EXPERTISE IN 3-D.
THE PEOPLE I KNOW IT, WILL BE WORKING IN THE STUDIOS IN L.A.
THE ANSWER IS YES, IT WOULD BE GREAT.
AND YOU INTERVIEW THEM AND WE EVEN TEST THEM BY GIVING THEM AN IMAGE AND GOING, OKAY, TONIGHT, WE WANT TO SEE THAT PROJECTED.
>> I COULD THINK OF TWO PEOPLE THAT MAY BE ABLE TO DO SO.
AGAIN, WE HAVE TO CHECK QUALIFICATIONS AND THAT SORT OF THINGS.
[00:10:05]
>> I HAVE SOMEONE IN MIND, AS WELL, WHO I'M SURE HAS KNOWLEDGE.
>> IF THEY HAVE A HIGH LEVEL 3-D GRAPHIC EXPERIENCE, THEY WILL PROBABLY BE ABLE TO DO IT.
>> THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN IDEAL SITUATION.
SOMEONE LOCAL WHO KNOWS THE SITUATION, KNOWS THE ISSUES AND COULD HANDLE THEM.
BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S A LARGE CREATED COMMUNITY IN INDIO AND WE CAN DO SOME PROGRAMMING FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
>> ABSOLUTELY >> SOMETHING DIFFERENT, NOT THE NORMAL.
>> I THINK THIS CANVAS IS VASTLY UNDER USED, CREATING SOME POWERFUL STUFF, FUN STUFF.
IS THIS PROGRAM NOT TO THE POINT, WHERE THE IMAGES COULD BE CHANGED PRETTY QUICKLY?
>> WHEN YOU SAY IMAGE, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT WE DIDN'T JUST DO IMAGES FOR THE TWO SHOWS.
IT'S MOVING AND IT'S ALL -- SO IT'S MORE OF A VIDEO PRODUCTION.
VIDEO PRODUCTION ON A CYLINDER.
LET'S SAY, SOMEONE SENDS US THE FINISHED SHOW, WE CAN WRAP UP IN A MINIMUM COST.
IN THE DOCUMENT WE PROVIDED, THREE YEARS AGO, THERE'S THE RESOLUTION NECESSARY.
EVERYTHING NECESSARY FOR THE ARTIST TO DELIVER THE RIGHT CONTENT.
I DON'T THINK IT'S BEEN DONE HERE.
IT WOULD BE GREAT, A WAY TO UPDATE IT, TO SEE IF WE CAN GET A LOCAL ARTIST TO SIMPLY PROVIDE THAT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE THREE DIMENSIONALITY.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THREE DIMENSIONAL.
IT WOULD BE AS COMPELLING >> THEY GO THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
THEY GO AND PUT PROJECTORS AND THEN THEY HAVE A CALL TORE ENTRY.
THEY DO AN HONORARY, THEY SHOW YOUR PIECES.
I THINK IT'S A PLANNED COMMUNITY.
IT'S TO DRAW ATTENTION TO IT, THAT KIND OF THING.
THIS COULD BE ANYTHING FROM STUDENT ART.
YOU COULD DO FLASH ANIMATION OR STILL IMAGES, COULD BE WORKED INTO THE -- THAT WAS KIND OF THE GOAL TO HAVE A RECURRING EVENT WHILE THIS IS UP AND RUNNING, NOT NECESSARILY IN THE HOT MONTHS, WHEN WE TAKE IT DOWN.
>> I THINK AT THE MOMENT, WE HAVE TO TAKE THE MACHINES DOWN.
>> WE LEFT THE PROJECTORS IN THE BOXES AND IT TURNED ON FLAWLESSLY.
THOSE ENCLOSURES ARE MEANT FOR REALLY EXTREME WEATHER.
IN THAT SENSE, IT WAS EXTREMELY ENCOURAGING.
IF YOU REMOVE THE PROJECTORS, YOU HAVE TO REALIGNED THEM.
IT MEANS, CALLING PAINSTAKINGLY, CALIBRATE THEM.
IF WE LEAVE THE PROJECTORS INSIDE, NOT UNTIL YOU TURN THEM ON.
THEY HAVE TO FAN THE PROJECTORS, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE OFF.
THAT'S MY QUESTION, IS THE DESERT WEATHER GOING TO AFFECT THE PROJECTION?
>> THAT WOULD BE HORRIBLE, IF I SAID YES.
WE SHOULD HAVE DONE OUR RESEARCH TO INSTALL.
WE ARE EXTREMELY GOOD AT EXTREME WEATHER.
WE DID OUR SHOW ON FEBRUARY 9, 2013, WHICH I LOVE TO BRAG ABOUT.
IT WAS MINUS 41: HERE, IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE 120.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO FAIL ON THIS ONE.
THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE ON THE THINGS WORK >> IT'S READY FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, WE'LL BE ABLE TO BRING THEM BACK.
WE LOOK FORWARD FOR THE NEW CONTENT.
[00:15:02]
AND THE CIE MURAL PROJECT >> AND SO WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE IMAGE DRAFT AT
[5.1. Raices - RCOE Mural Project: Review and select the design to paint a m...]
LEAST RENDERING FROM THEM, HOWEVER, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO PRODUCE THAT, SO THE IMAGE WILL COME TO YOU GUYS ON THE NEXT MEETING FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.WHAT I WAS -- WHAT I HAVE RECEIVED IS A BUDGET UPDATE THAT -- IT'S A BUDGET UPDATE.
BECAUSE THEY NEED TO PUT NONSLIPPERY BASKETBALL COURT PAINT AND IT INCREASED THEIR BUDGET.
SO THEY HAD BUDGETED ORIGINALLY $2000, BUT IT IS NOW $4,000.
SO THEY ARE ALSO ASKING TO SEE IF THE COMMISSION CAN MATCH THEIR $2000, WHICH WILL COME OUT OF THE ART FUND FOR $2000.
WE CAN DO THAT BECAUSE WE SAVED QUITE A LOT OF MONEY REGARDING THE MURAL CONSERVATION PROJECT.
ALSO IN OUR WORK PLAN WE HAD A SECTION FOR $35,000 TO INCLUDE IN PARKS.
IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO ALLOCATE THAT MONEY, WE CAN DO THAT.
AGAIN, THE IMAGE WILL COME TO WHO IS AT THE NEXT MEETING FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.
>> THEY HAD A CLASS WITH THE STUDENT BUT THEY COMPLETELY COME UP WITH FINAL ARRANGING.
>> THEY'VE KNOWN ABOUT THE PROJECT FOR A WHILE.
AND I BELIEVE THERE ARE SOME HURDLES.
THEY WERE PART OF THE MUSIC FESTIVAL.
THEY'VE KNOWN ABOUT THE PROJECT FOR A WHILE.
THEY SHOULD BE WORKING ON THIS NO MATTER WHAT.
>> IT'S THAT -- THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME HAPPY.
BECAUSE OF THE FESTIVAL, THEY LET EVERYTHING GO AND THEY KNEW THAT WAS COMING UP.
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE?
>> THAT'S TRUE, BUT THEY ARE NOT HERE SO -- THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT I AM JUST THINKING, MAY HAVE CAUSED THE DELAY.
ALSO, WE'RE WORKING WITH THE STUDENTS, SOMETIMES THEY MAY NOT COME UP WITH, YOU KNOW, ON THE SPOTS THEY NEED TO WORK WITH THEM A LITTLE BIT.
I WILL GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF A BENEFIT OF A DOUBT.
>> AND I'M STILL -- I'M STILL NOT COMFORTABLE THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE SOMETHING, AT LEAST SKETCHES TO SHOW US OF WHAT THEY WERE THINKING ABOUT.
THAT WOULD BE A NICE COURTESY, TO SHOW THIS COMMISSION, WHAT THIS GROUP IS THINKING ABOUT FOR THE PROJECT.
YOU WILL GET IT NEXT MONTH, THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE.
>> AND I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU.
AND I WILL MAKE SURE THAT I LET THEM KNOW THAT THE CHAIRPERSON WAS NOT TOO HAPPY.
>> WELL, I MAY, I AM CERTAINLY NOT PREPARED TO OFFER THEM MORE MONEY WITHOUT SEEING WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO.
>> AND, AGAIN, WE CAN BASICALLY CONTINUE OR BRING IT BACK AS A WHOLE, ON THE 14TH, FOR YOU TO CONSIDER THE IMAGE AND RENDERING AND ALSO THE BUDGET SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT NOW.
>> I WOULD NOT CALL FOR A MOTION ON THIS ITEM UNTIL WE HAD SOME VISUALS.
SO WE CAN POSTPONE IT TO THE NEXT MEETING.
[00:20:18]
>> IF THAT'S THE HR COMMISSION, WE CAN DO THAT.
>> I HAVE NO PROBLEM MOVING FORWARD WITH THE 2000 REQUESTS, BECAUSE IT'S FOR THE MATERIALS THAT IS NEEDED REGARDLESS OF THE IMAGE.
I WOULD LIKE TO SET A MOTION, IF FOLKS ARE READY TO SET A MOTION.
>> YES >> MAY WE HAVE A ROLL CALL PLEASE?
>> MOTION CARRIES, 4-1 >> THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE THEIR OWN LEADERSHIP.
AND I'M WONDERING, COULD WE MEET WITH THEM AND MAYBE PROVIDE SOME FURTHER GUIDANCE, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S LACKING IN THIS, IN REGARDS TO MOVING FORWARD IN DECIDING ON AN IMAGE OR PROPOSED IMAGES THAT WE CAN ASSIST OR IS THAT BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE.
>> THE SUBCOMMITTEE COULD ASSIST BUT THE FINAL APPROVAL NEEDS TO COME TO THE ARTS COMMISSION.
THE SUBCOMMITTEE COULD ASSIST ON HELPING SELECTION OF THE FINALIST OR THREE FINAL RENDERINGS, THE FINALISTS WITH THE PARKS COMMISSION.
AGAIN, I COULD REACH OUT TO THEM TOMORROW AND LET THEM KNOW THAT WHAT WAS DECIDED AND ALSO EMPHASIZE IN THE SUBCOMMITTEES RESPONSIBILITY AND HELP AND ASSISTANCE TO THAT IMAGE SELECTION.
>> YEAH, DO CHAIRPERSON, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT US REACHING OUT AND PROVIDING THAT EXTRA SUPPORT SHOULD THEY NEED IT?
HOWEVER, DID THEY KNOW THERE WAS AN ADD HUNDRED COMMITTEE FOR THEM?
>> YES THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION PERSON WAS AT THE COMMISSION LAST TIME, WHEN YOU CHOOSE THE AD HOC COMMITTEE.
>> THEY DIDN'T ATTEMPT TO CONTACT THE ADHOC COMMITTEE?
>> IT WAS OFFERED BY STAFF BUT DUE TO THE TIME, THEY SAID THEY CAN DO IT AND BRING SOME RENDERINGS FOR US FOR TODAY.
FOR THE COMMISSION TODAY WHICH THEY DID NOT.
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU APPROVED THE PROJECT.
WE WILL BRING BACK THE PROJECT, JUNE 14TH, FOR IMAGE SELECTION.
MEANWHILE, THE SUBCOMMITTEE WILL WORK WITH THEIR TEAM TO EXPEDITE THE RENDERING
THE PROJECT WAS APPROVED, THEY NEED THE SUPPLIES.
I DON'T LIKE THE CLASSES AND TACTICS THEY ARE TAKING.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER GUTIERREZ, IF YOU -- I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO IS IN THE ADHOC COMMITTEE WITH YOU.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET AGGRESSIVE WITH THE GROUP.
THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT THAT INTERESTED IN COOPERATING >> MAYBE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO COOPERATE EITHER.
[5.2. Colossal Cacti Mural Project: Review and approve a Request For Proposa...]
5.2, THE COLOSSAL KAKT -- CACTI MURAL PROJECT.>> AND FOR RSV, FOR COMMISSION TO APPROVE.
WE HAVE SOME AMENDMENTS FOR ISP WHICH IS TO REMOVE ITEM NUMBER 22 FROM THE RFP.
BASICALLY, WE -- REMOVING THAT, BASICALLY MEANS THE CITY COULD REPAIR OR MOVE THE PIECE, IF THE CITY CHOOSES TO.
[00:25:02]
WE WILL REMOVE THAT FOR NOW FROM THE RFP.ALSO, ON THE APPLICATION, THERE'S A SECTION THAT SAYS ON PAGE 9, IT SAYS, AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE AND CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
WE WILL TAKE THE CITIZEN OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OUT.
HOWEVER, THERE ARE FEW -- THIS PORTION WAS, WHAT I GOT FROM PREVIOUS IFP'S.
SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO AMEND GOING FORWARD.
AND IF THE COMMISSION IS OKAY WITH THE REST OF THE RFP, OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE THE RFP TO GO OUT FOR CIRCULATION AND IT'S GOING TO GO THROUGH JULY 1ST AND THE TIME LINE IS ALSO THERE, WHEN WE WILL SELECT AND WHEN WE WILL START AND ALSO APPOINT AD HOC COMMITTEE TO SELECT A FINALIST AND BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMISSION FOR APPROVAL?
>> WE NEED A MOTION FOR ACCEPTING THE RFP?
>> AND APOINTING THE ADHOC COMMITTEE ONCE THE AMENDMENTS ARE APPROVED.
IS THAT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR?
IS THIS MURAL SELECTED BY AD HOC?
THERE WERE SIMILAR WALLS, BUT I COULDN'T FIND ANY SPECIFIC ON THIS WALL.
IT COULD BE ONE OF THEM BECAUSE.
>> IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, WHEN JOHN AND I WAS DOING THIS, THIS IS ONE THE WALLS THAT'S UNDER CIRCULATION.
>> IT'S VERY PRONOUNCED TEXTURE BECAUSE OF THE GROUT AND EVERYTHING.
I WAS CURIOUS, AND THE THEME, WHEN WE PLUMPED DOWN SOME CACTUS.
THIS IS NOT DRIVEN FOR AN ART SAKE AS OPPOSED TO AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT RATIONAL.
I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE WALL.
I THINK IT IS A GREAT LOCATION.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING IT FOR ART REASONS, ALONG WITH THE COMMUNITY.
I WONDER IN THE DISCUSSION, CALLING IT THE COLOSSAL CACTI MURAL PROJECT, IF THAT'S GOING TO INFLUENCE WHAT THE ARTISTS CHOOSE TO DEPICT.
>> SO THE REASON WE CALLED IT THAT, BECAUSE THE WORK PLAN WAS CALLED THE SAME.
AGAIN, WE CAN CHANGE THE NAME.
WE CAN CALL IT, NUMBER IT, LIKE THE 12TH MURAL OF THE CITY AND ALSO, WHEN THE MURAL IS CHOSEN, THE ARTIST IS CHOSEN, HE COULD COME UP WITH THE NAME.
YOU CAN HAVE SOME IMAGES AND SOME KIND OF BACKDROP AND IT WILL CREATE A PASTER BUT IT'S NOT REALLY -- I'M NOT, I DON'T THINK THE COMMISSION IS LOOKING AT INSTAGRAMABLE EVENTS OR MOMENTS.
THAT'S JUST TO NOT HAVE LONELY CACTUS THERE.
>> AND BECAUSE I THINK THE TEXTURE OF THE WALL IS GOING TO BE THE CHALLENGE FOR AN ARTIST TO GET REALLY CREATIVE.
>> AND HONESTLY THINK, UNLESS SOMEONE WILL BE INCREDIBLY PATIENT OR MAKE IT A JACK CHIRAK PAINTING, THEY WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT AIRBRUSH OR AEROSOL.
YOU ARE ALSO SEEING THERE'S GRASS RIGHTS AT THE EDGE OF THE WALL.
THAT'S ANOTHER CHALLENGE, WE NEED TO GET INPUT, IF WE WANT TO MOVE THE GRASS A LITTLE BIT OR IF WE WANT TO STOP AT CERTAIN POINT OR USE CERTAIN MATERIAL ON THE BOTTOM.
I THINK IT WILL BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A SPACE.
[00:30:02]
THE NAME IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE CHANGED.>> BEFORE THE COMMISSION, WE HAVE ALL THE HISTORY OF MURALS >> ONE OF THE THINGS -- WE CAN GIVE A HISTORY OF A SPACE.
WE CAN GIVE A DESCRIPTION OF THE THE PHYSICAL SPACE AND WHAT IT IS AND WHAT'S THERE AND WHAT'S NEAR THAT.
DN LEAVE IT UP TO THE ARTIST TO DECIDE THEIR OWN CONTENT OR OWN THEME AND THAT SORT OF THING.
I THINK IT NEEDS TO SAY, IT'S HIGHLY INCREDIBLE ROUGH TEXTURE.
I CATCH IN THE LANGUAGE, WHAT IS THE ANTICIPATED LONGEVITY.
IS THAT ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTED ITEMS?
>> CORRECT >> IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A MURAL PROGRAM THAT WAS APPROVED YEARS AGO BY THE COMMISSION.
IN THAT, IT SAYS, MURAL LONGEVITY 20 YEARS.
HOWEVER, I HIGHLIGHTED THAT, TO SAY, IF THAT'S THE CASE, WE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP OUR MURALS FOR 20 YEARS, LONGER OR SHORTER.
IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE.
THAT'S WHY I PUT THE MAX FOR THIS ONE AS WELL >> I THINK IT'S REASONABLE IT LASTS 15 YEARS BUT THAT'S MY TWO CENTS.
MAYBE IF WE CAN HAVE SOMETHING MORE GENERAL INSTEAD OF THE COLOSSAL CACTI MURAL.
AND ALSO, WITH THE YEARS, TOO, FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH EXPLAINING THAT THEY WILL NOT LAST MORE THAN 10 YEARS HERE IN THE DESERT.
IT'S UP TO THE COMMISSION TO CHANGE THAT, THIS MURAL AND OPPOSITE THE NAME, JUST NUMBER THE MURAL, MURAL NUMBER 12 AND THEN WHEN APPROVED, IT COULD BE ANY NAME THAT THE COMMISSION OR ARTIST.
>> THAT TO ME, IS ONE OF THE CREATIVE CHALLENGES TO THE ART IST LET ME JUST GO TO THE ROOM AND SEE IF WE CAN -- SO WE CAN SEE WHAT COULD BE TRANSFORMED, TOO.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO THAT >> QUICK QUESTION.
ARE WE TAKING ABOUT A LEASE AGREEMENT TO THE BUILDING? WHO OWNS THE BUILDING?
>> I ALREADY CONTACTED THE NEWSPAPER.
THEY SAID, WHEN THE CONTRACT IS READY, WHICH HAS BEEN DRAFTED AND BEING REVIEWED BY THE REAL TEAM, WE WILL SEND IT TO THE OWNER.
>> WE WILL DISCUSS IF WE REQUIRE LIGHTING BECAUSE WE REQUIRED LIGHTING IN THE OTHER ONES.
>> THE STANDARD CONTRACT FOR THE OTHER MURALS, MAYBE LIGHTING REQUIRED THEN WE WILL NEGOTIATE, WHO GETS, PAY THE ELECTRICITY BILLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
>> I THINK IT COULD BE DOWNTOWN MURAL NUMBER 12.
>> I THINK WHAT HAPPENED, ONE YEAR, WHEN WE FIRST DID OUR FIRST MURAL.
WE HAD NOTHING BUT HISTORICAL MURALS.
WE WANTED TO BUILD BEYOND THAT.
WE KIND OF THROWN THE BUZZ WORDS, WHICH IS BUILDING TOWARDS THE FUTURE.
FOR SOME REASON, IT WAS SO STRANGE, THAT EVERY SINGLE -- AND IT WAS LIKE.
[00:35:03]
>> AT THAT TIME, WASN'T THERE TALK ABOUT TRAIN STATION.
>> AND I THINK AMTRAK WAS, ONCE OR TWICE FOR THE CONCERTS.
THERE WAS A PLAN INVOLVED TO PUT A TRAIN STATION IN INDIAN BOULEVARD, WHICH HAS FALLEN THROUGH.
IT WAS VERY STRANGE TO SEE THAT.
FOR THE NICOLE MURALS, THE HUMMING BIRDS, THERE WAS SOME REACTION.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT THE HISTORY.
>> WE HAVE CONTEMPORARY AND COLORFUL AND OUTSIDE OF THE BOX KIND OF THING.
YEAH >> SO THIS IS WHAT I WAS THINKING.
WITH THE ROUGH TEXTURE, STILL IS ASKING THE QUESTION.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED TO -- AND THERE'S ANOTHER ONE, PAST THE COLORS.
AND TO COMMENT AS SUCH -- TO CREATE THE SPACE.
>> LEAVING AWAY FROM THE NEUTRAL MIRRORS.
APPROVAL >> IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE ARTIST PROPOSE.
>> THAT'S WHY IT'S WORDED THAT WAY.
>> YOU'VE IDENTIFIED A BUDGET THAT WAS FAIRLY SMALL.
IT WOULD MEAN, GO BIG, NOT HIGH LEVEL DETAIL.
>> THE BUDGET IS THE BUDGET THAT IT WAS APPROVED DURING THE WORK PLAN BY THE COMMISSION AND THE COUNCIL.
>> FOR NOW, WE HAVE THE DOWNTOWN MURAL NUMBER, WHATEVER NUMBER THAT IS.
ALSO, I MAKE SURE WE PUT THE ROUGH TEXTURE WITH THE EXPLANATION WITH THE WALL.
THE OTHER THING, THE LONGEVITY.
THE COMMISSION WISHES TO PUT AS 10 YEARS, 10 YEARS, OR 15.
IT'S UP TO THE COMMISSION >> I SAID 10-15.
THAT'S WHAT IT SEEMS, THEY DON'T LAST 10-15 YEARS.
>> I WILL DO THE CHANGES SO THE APPROVAL WILL BE WITH THE AMENDMENTS TO THE RFP.
>> MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AMENDED RFP.
>> I MOTION TO APPROVE THE RFP.
>> ADVICE CHAIRPERSON NIGHMAY ERR.
DO WE HAVE ANY -- AND I LEARNED WE CAN BE MORE THAN ONE ADHOC COMMITTEE.
>> OUR SECRETARY HAS VETTED THAT WITH THE LEGAL TEAM WITH THE COMMISSION MEMBERS COULD BE AT SEVERAL ADHOC COMMITTEES.
>> THAT'S COMMISSIONERS CRUZ AND DEJAS IS ONE VOLUNTEER.
>> COMMISSIONER GUTIERREZ HAS VOLUNTEERED.
>> I'LL MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE ASK THE ADHOC COMMITTEE MAKE UP OF CRUZ
[00:40:19]
CRUZ-ZENDEJAS >> NEUMEYER SCHINSKY.
>> WE REVIEW THE DOCUMENT, SO IF WE HAVE ANY CHANGES, FAES TIME FOR YOU TO ADD,
[5.3. Public Arts Commission Strategic Plan: Review , approve, and make reco...]
IT'S TIME TO DISCUSS.THE COMMISSION HAS TO MAKE RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE IT AND ALSO RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
AND WE PROBABLY, I NEED TO CHECK, TO SEE IF WE CAN TAKE IT MAY 18TH.
MAYBE TOO CLOSE, OTHERWISE IT WILL GO TO JUNE 1ST TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THEIR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.
>> DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGES TO THIS DOCUMENT?
>> YES, SIMPLE LANGUAGE CHANGES BECAUSE IT'S IN THE TIME FRAME, WHERE IT'S PRESENT, INSTEAD OF, THE INTRODUCTION, IT SAYS, PUBLIC COMMENT, SINCE WE HAVE NEW MEMBERS, IT WOULDN'T BE ACCURATE.
SO JUST CHANGING SOME LANGUAGE TO BE MORE -- >> MAYBE TAKE THOSE THINGS THAT THEY ARE EXCLUSIVE FOR THAT TIME AND MAKE IT MORE GENERIC AND GENERAL? YEAH, I COULD DO THAT.
>> THAT'S ALL THE COMMENTS I HAD.
MAKE IT CURRENT >> I COULD DO THAT >> COMMISSIONER GUTIERREZ, ANYTHING?
I'VE BEEN ON A CULTURAL COMMENT COMMITTING COMMITTEE FOR MANY YEARS.
IN REVIEWING THIS STRATEGIC PLAN, IT IS SO WELL DONE.
TO BE ABLE TO LIVE UP TO IT NOW.
ONCE IT GETS APPROVED, IT'S JUST AMAZING.
I WANT TO COMMENT, HOW GREAT IT'S DEVELOPED AND YEAH, JUST -- I LOVE GREETING IT.
IT'S VERY INSPIRATIONAL, THE STRATEGIC PLAN.
THE WORDING, IT REALLY BLEW MY MIND, TO BE HONEST YOU WITH.
I LOOK FORWARD TO LIVING UP TO IT.
>> MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE DOCUMENT WITH THE UPDATED TEXT?
>> MOVED TO APPROVE THE UPDATED TEXT.
>> COMMISSIONER CRUZ-ZENDEJAS?
>> ARE WE MAKING A MOTION TO CITY COUNCIL?
>> YOU NEED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
[6.1. Teen Center Traffic Signal Box: An update on the Request For Proposal ...]
[00:45:05]
DO WE HAVE A MOTION THIS DOCUMENT IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL BY THE CITY COUNCIL?
>> MOTION TO RECOMMEND THAT THIS GETS APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL.
>> COMMISSIONER CRUZ-ZENDEJAS?
>> I THINK WE HAVE A GROUP THAT COULD MEET THE CHALLENGE OF THIS DOCUMENT VERY WELL.
>> NOW THAT YOU'RE PART OF THIS, YOU WILL WORK ON IT JUST LIKE WE ARE?
>> TEEN CENTER TRAFFIC SIGNAL WENT OUT IN APRIL 25TH.
WE HAD A WORKSHOP WITH THE TEEN ON MAY 6TH.
THEY PAINTED WITH A SPRAY SOME TRASH BOXES, WHICH, YOU SEE IT -- BRINGS IT TO THE EVENTS, THOSE CARDBOARD ONES.
IT WAS MAYBE, NOT THE MOST APPROPRIATE ONE.
THIS IS THE IMAGES THAT CAME OUT OF THE WORKSHOP.
WE ARE STILL WORKING WITH THEM TO GET IMAGES AND PAINTING WITH THEM AND WE MAY NEED TO EXTEND MAY 16, TO BE ABLE TO GET ADDITIONAL IMAGES.
THAT IMAGE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT, IS SOMETHING THAT MAY BE, WHEN WE COME BACK, WE BRING IT.
MAYBE WE BRING IT BACK TO THE SELECTIONS, TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
SO SOME OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY, IT LOOKS NICE.
AGAIN, IT'S SPRAY PAINT AND VERY FAST, AND I'M CONFIDENT THEY CAN DO -- THEY CAN DO MORE IMAGES AND MORE APPROPRIATE, THAT WE CAN BRING IT TO THE
[6.3. Mural Conservation Assessment Update: An update on the mural conservat...]
COMMISSION FOR REVIEW AND SELECTION.>> >> 6.3, MIRROR CONSERVATION UPDATE?
>> SO ON -- >> I'M SORRY, APRIL 20TH AND APRIL 21ST, THE ORIGINAL ARTIST, OF 74 YEARS WAS HERE.
THE GRAFFITI, AND ON THE LEFT IMAGE, YOU SEE THE OUTLINE OF THE WINDOW, WHICH WAS REPAIRED.
WE ARE WAITING FOR THE COMPANY, THAT APPARENTLY CREATES VERY GOOD ANTIGRAFFITI AND ANTIUV SHIELDS THAT EVEN BRINGS THE PAINTS OUT BETTER.
HOWEVER, THEY ARE OUT OF STOCK SO WE HAD REGISTERED WITH E-MAILS.
SO WHENEVER THEY ARE IN STOCK, WE CAN GET THAT AND APPLY IT.
AND IF YOU GUYS ARE ABOUT AND AROUND, TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
>> DO WE HAVE SOMEONE STANDING.
I'VE SEEN A VIDEO THAT THEY USE IT IN THE L.A.
WHEN THEY GET HARSH GRAFFITIS, YOU COULD JUST WASH IT WITH WARM WATER AND GOES AWAY.
>> I WALKED AND MET MR. GRAY WHILE HE WAS WORKING.
HE'S REALLY CALM, WELCOMING, WORKED VERY QUICKLY.
HE WAS THRILLED THAT THE PIECE WAS IN THE CONDITION IT WAS IN.
I THINK HE WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.
AS HE WAS WORKING, HE HAD A SMALL AUDIENCE.
SOME OF OUR LOCAL STREET FOLKS STOOD AND WATCHED AND WORKED, YEAH.
[6.4. Sarbale Ke: An update on the ribbon cutting ceremony that was held on ...]
[7.1. New Project(s) and Items for Next Agenda: Commission and staff will di...]
[00:53:15]
>> APPARENTLY, THIS IS ONE OF THE FAVORITE MURALS.
[8. STAFF UPDATES AND INFORMATION]
I SAW SEVERAL CARS AND THEY PARKED THE CAR IN FRONT OF MURAL AND I TOOK A PICTURE.[00:56:16]
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING? WE ARE SELLING OUR CAR SO WE BRING IT HERE.WE HEARD A LOT OF POSITIVE RESPONSE TO THE COMMUNITY WHY HE'S PAINTING.
IT'S ONE OF THE FAVORITES >> I'M 6.4, SUBALOW K.
HE'S VERY HARD OF HEARING SO HE HAD TO COME DOWN TO TALK.
>> SO THIS IS THE RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY, THAT WAS DONE ON APRIL 20TH, 8:30 TO 9:30.
WE HAVE ABOUT 60 PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY, THE APPOINTED AND SELECTED OR ELECTED OFFICIALS.
ALSO, DR. CARRY ON FOUNDATION, FROM JOHN NOBLE NEIGHBORHOOD.
BOTH GAVE TWO VERY GOOD AND NICE SPEECHES.
WE HAVE THERE REPRESENTATIVE SCHINSKY AND WE RECEIVED ALSO THOSE HONORARY PLAQUES FROM THE SENATOR AND ASSEMBLY PERSON AS WELL.
MORE THAN WHAT WE WANTED BUT IT MADE IT COOL.
AND I NEVER KNEW HOW NOISY, UNTIL WE GOT THERE.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY WHO ATTENDED.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY, THAT WAS PART OF THE PROJECT.
IT'S A GREAT ADDITION TO THE CITY, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PRICE, THEY RECEIVED.
I'M HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO BE PART OF THE END OF IT.
>> THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT, THOSE ARE THE GENTLEMEN THAT WERE RECOGNIZED IN THE CITY, THAT COME FROM THE JOHN NOBLES NEIGHBORHOOD.
I FORGET WHICH ONE IT WAS, BUT WHEN HE WAS INTRODUCED AND SAID HELLO.
BEN GUT -- SORRY COMMISSIONER GUTIERREZ.
BEN USED TO CHASE ME AS A KID.
IT MADE EVERYONE SO COMFORTABLE.
THE LOCAL ART, YOU KNOW, ART TEXTURAL GROUP WAS THERE.
>> LOCAL CHAPTER IN PALM DESERT.
[01:00:01]
>> THANK YOU >> AND COMMISSIONER COMMENTS.
>> ACTUALLY, I HAVE -- THERE'S AN EVENT THAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPEN AT THE INDIO TEEN CENTER ON SUNDAY.
AND THE CENTER FOR COACHELLA AND THE DISTRICT, WE'RE COLAB RATING.
WE HAVE BEEN COLAB RATING FOR CLEAR YOUTH OUTDOOR EDUCATION PROGRAM.
WE ARE HAVING AN OPEN HOUSE ON SUNDAY FROM 1:00 TO 4:00 P.M.
IT'S OPEN TO LBGTQ YOUTH AND FAMILIES AND ALLIES.
WE WILL HAVE SOME RESOURCES AND SOME CRAFTS AND ARTS AND SOME ENTERTAINMENT AS WELL.
IF YOU KNOW ANY FOLKS WHO ARE INTERESTED, WE'LL BE THERE.
>> SO STAFF ITEMS, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY, MR. TRUJILLO?
>> WE HAVE BEEN APPROACHED TO -- I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH DETAILS.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO DO A PROJECT, THAT WILL BE COLLARED ASPHALT SO ASPHALTS COULD HAVE SOME ARTISTIC IMAGES OR ARTISTIC DESIGN WITH COLOR.
IF THAT'S SOMETHING THE COMMISSIONER WOULD LIKE TO SEE, WE CAN BRING BACK FOR
SO WE WILL BRING IT BACK TO YOU AND THAT'S ALL THE STAFF HAS AT THIS TIME AND WE HAVE A NEW TEAM MEMBER, THAT I WOULD LIKE MR. TRUJILLO TO INTRODUCE.
I'M SO EXCITED TO HAVE HER WITH OUR TEAM.
>> GOOD EVENING LONG TIME NO SEE.
IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK WITH YOU GUYS.

KRISTINE SMITH IS ADHOC ASSISTANT FOR THE DEPARTMENT.
