7.1. Public Safety Complex Art Selection
Ms. Tegan McLane, Cultural Arts and Heritage Manager, presented the specifics
of the item as outlined in the Staff Report regarding selection of an artist and
design for a public art piece to be placed in the future Public Safety Complex.
Commissioners expressed concerns about proceeding with a recommendation
considering the title of the Staff Report was incorrect. The Parks and Community
Services Director, La Shawn Butler, stated that moving forward with a
recommendation will not be an issue since the action recommended in the Staff
Report specifies the public art piece at the future Public Safety Complex.
Ms. McLane invited Gordon Huether, artist for the public art piece, to the podium.
Mr. Huether thanked the Commissioners and presented his design concept and
possible placement locations for the public art piece.
The Commissioners provided general comments and questions related to the
design concept, size of structure, durability, placement of structure, landscape
design, completion timeline, and conservator's recommendation regarding
purchasing spare glass panels.
Chair Bennett opened the floor for Public Comment.
Mr. Steve Minniear stated that he feels the proposed art piece is wonderful and
recommends the design in front of the future Public Safety Complex. He also
suggests purchasing replacement glass in case of potential damage caused by
an earthquake.
Seeing no other comments from the Public, Chair Bennett closed the floor for
Public Comment.
ACTION:
On a motion by Cm. Vonheeder-Leopold, seconded by Cm. Rudy, and by a vote
of 6-0-0, the Commission recommended that City Council approve the design
proposed by artist Gordon Huether for a public art piece and that it is placed in
front of the future Public Safety Complex.
