DESCRIPTION: A 2001 - 2002 City Council high priority goal was "to develop new
banner art working with Dublin youth". This project was to consist of the creation of five different banner
designs produced by collaboration between artists and participants in the Parks and Community Services
Department "Recreation on Campus" program at Wells Middle School.
The goal of the Banner Art Project was to create banner designs that would promote a sense of community
pride and uniqueness for the City of Dublin. Art Consultant Lynne Baer was contracted to coordinate the
Street Banner Art Project on behalf ofthe City. Artist Ray Beldner was engaged to conduct the nine-week
course. Beldner, who is a well-known San Francisco artist, worked with the middle school teens to
develop themes, images and an understanding of the process involved in translating small drawings and
digital images into large-scale public images. A variety of techniques were used in producing ideas and
images from brainstorming and drawings to use of text and digital imaging. Beldner took the images
created by the teens and working with Susan Sharman, a graphic designer, created two distinct sets of
banner designs.
The first treatment (Attachment 1) consists of five double banners designed by artist Ray Beldner and
graphic artist Susan Sharman using images, photographs and text produced by the teenaged participants.
The second treatment (Attachment 2) consists of five single designs developed by class participants.

/ti ~
The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission reviewed the banner designs and recommends the second
treatment consisting of the five single designs (Attachment 2). However, the Commission recommends
that the wording on the "We Have Soccer" banner be changed to "We Have Sports" and "We Have
History" be changed to "We Have Location". The Commission further recommends that a sixth banner be
created with a graphic of Old St. Raymond's Church and the wording, "We Have History". The cost to
fabricate the banners as recommended by the Commission for display on 40 banner poles throughout the
City is $20,890. Sufficient funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2002-2003 budget for this option.
It is the recommendation of Staff that City Council receive the presentation from Staff and the Project Art
Consultant Lynne Baer. It is further recommended that the Council confirm the recommendation of the
Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission and authorize Staff to obtain bids for banner fabrication or
provide alternate direction.
