Page 1 of 3 STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL DATE: February 19, 2019 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Christopher L. Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Dublin Sports Grounds All-Abilities Playground Concept Design Prepared by: Janet Coles, Parks & Facilities Development Coordinator EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider approving the Park concept design as recommended by the Parks and Community Services Commission and the Public Art piece as recommended by the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission for the All-Abilities Playground at Dublin Sports Grounds (CIP Project No. PK0518), including artwork (CIP Project No. PKNEW7). STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive the presentation and approve the Dublin Sports Grounds All-Abilities Playground Preferred Concept Design including the artwork, and approve the budget change. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding for this project is included in the adopted 2018 -2023 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as Project PK0518, Dublin Sports Grounds Rehabilitation , with a total budget of $2.0 million, funded by the General Fund. The All-Abilities Playground, associated improvements, and project soft costs (excluding the public art component), as shown on the Preferred Concept Design, is currently estimated at approximately $4.0 million. If the City Council approves the Preferred Concept Design, a subsequent budget increase of approximately $2.0 million will be included in the updated Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2019 -2020. The additional funding would be the General Fund Undesignated Reserve. The cost of the related public art component as proposed is $330,000, with an additional $6,840 in Staff time and miscellaneous costs. The 2018-2023 CIP includes Project PKNEW7, Public Art – Dublin Sports Grounds, with a budget of $124,920 beginning in Fiscal Year 2019-20, funded by the Public Art Fund. Approval of the art component requires a budget adjustment of $211,920 in additional funding from the Public Art Fund, so that work may begin in the current fiscal year. Page 2 of 3 DESCRIPTION: The adopted 2018-2023 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes Dublin Sports Grounds Rehabilitation, Project PK0518. The project provides for the rehabilitation of the existing playground and restroom facilities at Dublin Sports Grounds. This restoration will include an all-abilities playground, restroom and improved accessibility at the park site. A related public art project, Public Art – Dublin Sports Grounds, Project PKNEW7, is also in the adopted CIP and will provide artwork at the site. The public art component will be incorporated into the design of the rehabilitation project. Gates and Associates, an on-call landscape architecture firm, was engaged to provide design services for the project. In addition, Staff engaged SPEC - Specified Play Equipment Company, a playground design, fabrication, and distribution firm, to provide play equipment expertise during concept plan development. A Community Engagement Plan was developed to ensure community awareness of the project, to gather community input on design elements, and to obtain community consensus to support and prioritize the design concept. The plan included stakeholder meetings with Dublin Unified School District Special Education teachers, Sports Field User Groups, Challenger Baseball, and the School of Imagination. Pop up booths were set up at the Dublin Civic Center Holiday Tree Lighting and at the Breakfast with Santa at Shannon Center. Over 500 residents provided input as to what they would like to see in the new All-Abilities playground design. From the information gathered at these events and meetings, three design concepts were developed. These three concept designs were presented at the All-Abilities Playground Community Open House on Saturday, January 12, 2019. The design team took the feedback from the Open House, combining the favored design theme, layout, and top play elements to develop the Preferred Plan, Concept B, (Attachment 1). The three original concept designs and the Preferred Plan were presented to the Parks and Community Services Commission and the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission at a joint meeting on January 28, 2019. The art piece “Conversation” by artist Barbara Grygutis, was also presented at the joint Commission’s meeting for review (Attachment 3). After discussion of the playground concept designs and the artwork presentation, the Commissions voted unanimously to recommend the Preferred Plan, Concept B, in the teal and yellow color scheme (Attachment 1) and to recommend the “Conversation” artwork, (Attachment 3) to City Council for approval. If City Council approves the Preferred Plan and artwork, Staff anticipates the project will be under construction this summer with completion estimated in Spring of 2020.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive presentation and recommend the preferred Concept Plan including the artwork to City Council. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding for this project is included in the adopted 2018-2023 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as Project PK0518, Dublin Sports Grounds Rehabilitation. The funding source identified is the General Fund. Funding for artwork at this location is also included in the adopted 201 8-2023 CIP as Project PKNEW7. The funding source for art is the Public Art Fund. DESCRIPTION: As a part of the adopted 2018-2023 CIP, the City Council has approved a project to provide for the renovation of the playground and restroom facilities at Dub lin Sports Grounds. This restoration will include an all-abilities playground, restroom and improved accessibility at the park site. A related project to provide public artwork at the site has also been approved. Staff received proposals from three On-Call Professional Services Consultants, and selected Gates and Associates to provide design services for the project. Additionally, Specified Play Equipment Company (SPEC), was added to the design team to provide Page 2 of 3 play equipment expertise. Gates and Associates developed a Community Engagement Plan to ensure community awareness of the project, to gather community input on design elements, and to obtain community consensus to support and prioritize the design concept. The plan included stakeholder meetings with Dublin Unified School District Special Education teachers, Sports Field User Groups, Challenger Baseball, and School of Imagination. Pop up booths were set up at the Dublin Civic Center Holiday Tree Lighting on November 29, 2018 and at the Breakfast with Santa at Shannon Center on December 8, 2018. More than 500 local residents provided input as to what they would like to see in the new all- abilities playground design. From the information gathered at these events and meetings, three design con cepts were developed; Concept A - ‘Angles’, Concept B - ‘Winding’, and Concept C - ‘Circles’ as shown in Attachment 1. These three concept designs were presented at the All - Abilities Playground Community Open House held on Saturday, January 12, 2019 in the Regional Meeting Room at Dublin Civic Center. People attending the open house were walked through the three designs and asked to complete six Concept Survey Questions including “Which park concept design theme do you prefer?” and “What are your top 5 elements within all the concepts?”. In addition to the Open House, the three concept designs were shared at two City After School Programs where youth, and parents, voted for their favorite playground design. The three Concept Designs are being presente d to the Commission tonight. In addition, Gates and Associates has compiled the Community input from the Open House, and the After-School Programs, and has refined Concept B - 'Winding' to reflect public comments and feedback received. Artwork Artist Barbara Grygutis was among 14 artists pre-qualified by an Art Selection Committee in 2017 to design monumental sculptures for City of Dublin. She was short - listed for the Public Safety Complex project, and although not selected for that project, her design concept was identified by City staff as potentially ideal for the upcoming Dublin Sports Grounds Public Art project. Per the Public Art Master Plan’s Mixed Process selection method, Ms. Grygutis was invited to work with Gates and Associates to modify her earlier submitted design for placement adjacent to the all-abilities playground. (Attachment 2) The design, titled “Conversation,” features two human heads that appear to be engaged in conversation. The piece highlights the human ability to transcend dif ferences and find common ground through talking with each other. The heads are deliberately designed without gender, age or ethnicity, stand 22' and 17’ tall respectively and are made of aluminum. Both are lit from within by green LED lights at night. The heads sit on a pathway and have a minimum 60” open passageway Page 3 of 3 through which the viewer can walk or wheel. The artist also plans to embed laser cut stainless steel words in the walkway. Ms. Grygutis attended the Open House, displayed a model and renderings of the proposed artwork and talked with the public. Members of the public praised the art concept and beauty of the nighttime illumination (Attachment 2) and some provided written comments (Attachment 3). A comment was raised about the possibility of t he artwork being an attractive climbing hazard and wind whistling through the perforations. While all public art has the potential to attract climbing, Staff is confident that both safety and sound concerns would be adequately addressed during the required engineering review. The artwork can also be signed as a no climbing area. One comment from the public requested the heads have “warmer expressions,” rather than neutral. However, the neutral expressions - taken from training manual icons - are deliberately non-emotive. Conversation is important regardless of the parties’ emotions. Listening and expressing oneself can help diffuse conflict, calm fear, or provide comfort in times of sadness. Another comment requested diversity be reflected in patterns, words or light. As the artwork is intended to have words incorporated, Staff proposes that as the best way to reflect diversity of Dublin’s community while maintaining neutrality of the heads.

The work of art is designed to emphasize and highlight a fundamental human interaction - the ability to listen - and the ability to dialogue and engage in conversation. noun a talk, especially an informal one, between two or more people, in which news and ideas are exchanged. synonyms: discussion, talk, cat, gossip, tête-à-tête, heart-to-heart, head-to-head, exchange, dialogue, parley, consultation, conference; • The work of art is composed with two monumental sculptures, each of which shape is an outline of the human head. The outline of the head is generic, and does not convey gender or race, it is simply human. • The outline of the head is taken from the head silhouette in computer manuals (this image is available on the internet.) • The human head silhouette is symbolic of our humanity. • The work is designed to create a strong recognizable visual image for the "all abilities playground". • Each sculptural head is rendered in a different manner. One sculpture is more transparent, while the other less transparent, but more complex in its system of transparency. • The two sculptures symbolize our differences and similarities. • The two sculptural heads face each other to convey engagement and CONVERSATION. • The passageways through the sculptures symbolize engagement, • The work of art is designed to embrace our shared humanity.
