AGENDA STATEMENT
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December

SUBJECT
: Agreement with Dublin Fine Arts Foundation
~(Prepared by Paul S. Rankin, Assistant City Manager)

RECOMMENDATION ~ Resolution
~ Adopt
Agreement
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The City will not assume any financial costs for the
production of the sculpture.
JESCRIPTION : The City Council has awarded a contract to Golden Bay
Construction for the construction of a fountain in the interior courtyard
of the Civic Center. The design of the fountain was specially created to
accommodate a sculpture being commissioned by the Dublin Fine Arts
Foundation (DFA).
An agreement was originally included on the City Council agenda for the
meeting on November 27, 1989. Staff requested that the item be continued to
December 11, 1989 due to corrections which had not been incorporated in the
final draft. Primarily, the corrections were needed to clarify the current
status of the project. The early drafts did not assume that the
construction of the fountain would be underway. The City Attorney also felt
that it was important to clearly identify areas of responsibility. The
previous agreement was also corrected to delete references to "Owner."
The Foundation has pursued the project with the intent that ownership of
the sculpture would transfer to the City once the artwork was installed and
accepted. The City Attorney's Office has been working with DFA
representatives in developing an agreement with the Artist. The agreement
is somewhat complicated by the number of parties which are involved. The
agreement recognizes the Artist as a business (E. L. Smyth, Inc.) as well as
the artist as an individual (Ned Smyth). In addition, both DFA and the City
are recognized as parties to the Agreement. The financial costs of the
commission are primarily between DFA and the Artist. However, the City
__Attorney felt that the City should also be party to the agreement, since
uture obligations are included in the event that the work is damaged or
bandoned. The Agreement also addresses continued maintenance
£esponsibilities and each of the parties' rights to use replicas of the
artwork. The costs associated with the commission and identified within
this agreement are to be borne fully by DFA.
Ron Nahas, President of DFA, has indicated that the current schedule with
the Artist anticipates delivery of the sculpture in the Fall of 1990. They
are hopeful that if the Artist's work schedule allows, the work can be
delivered earlier. The fountain construction began November 27, 1989. The
current contract period is 90 days provided that time extensions are not
warranted due to weather or other impacts.
Staff has prepared a resolution which authorizes the Mayor to execute the
agreement and it is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution.
