Committee Assignments
Prepared by: Tegan McLane, Cultural Arts and Heritage Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for all public art projects below is included in the adopted Five-Year Capital
Improvement Program. The funding source for all projects is the Public Art Fund.
DESCRIPTION:
Staff expects to convene the Public Art Selection Committee this Spring and Summer
for five smaller public art projects for parks.
Public Art Selection Committees for park projects normally consist of five primary
members -- one member each from the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission and
Parks and Community Services Commission and three Dublin residents, who have
volunteered to serve on public art selection committees.
When selecting the resident volunteers, staff first considers the applications of
volunteers who live nearest the park or represent a user group most likely to be affected
(i.e. dog owners, for the Dog Park Art Project). Consideration is also given toward
assembling as diverse a committee as possible, with different ages, genders and
ethnicities represented.
Alternates for each member are also identified in case the primary member is unable to
attend.
For all art projects, Staff anticipate the time commitment to be limited to two meetings
arranged approximately eight weeks apart. Meetings are scheduled at the mutual
7.1

convenience of the Art Selection Committee members and usually take place in the
evening. Each meeting is expected to last no more than three hours.
The projects that need representation are:
Jordan Ranch Park – one alternate, possibly one primary committee member
Jordan Ranch Park opened last Winter. This is planned as a tiled seat wall to be located
near the playground. A professional artist will design and lead a community project that
will likely provide children an opportunity to help create tiles. Former Commissioner
Georgean VonHeeder-Leopold was the primary member, with Commissioner Robert
Bennett as the alternate. Staff recommends Commissioner Bennett now serve as the
primary member, and Commission select an alternate.
Clover Park – one alternate
Clover Park is under construction. This is proposed as artwork to be located at the point
where the bicycle trail enters the park, overlooking the riparian corridor and visible from
Sunrise Park, located on the hill above. Commissioner Robert Bennett was selected as
the primary member, with Former Commissioner Prarantha Rawal as the alternate. Staff
recommends Commission select an alternate.
Sean Diamond Park – one alternate, possibly one primary committee member
Sean Diamond Park opened last Spring. This is proposed as focal artwork in the central
seating area. Former Commissioner Rita Szollos was selected as the primary member,
with Commissioner Kathy Blackburn as the alternate. Staff recommends Commissioner
Blackburn now serve as the primary member, and Commission select an alternate.
Dougherty Hills Dog Park – one primary, one alternate
This is replacement art for pieces that were deaccessioned in 2017. Former
Commissioner Georgean VonHeeder-Leopold was the primary member, and Former
Commissioner Rita Szollos was the alternate. Staff recommends that Commission
select both a primary and an alternate.
Tassajara Park – one primary, one alternate
Tassajara Park is under construction. This is proposed as a tile façade and possible
side rails for a staircase leading from the park to the street above. It may be conducted
as a community project with a professional artist designing and leading the project. Staff
recommends that Commission select both a primary and an alternate.
