The World is beautiful and amazing, but people are in a hurry and they can’t see it. I show them a lyric perception of the World. I delight and surprise people and reveal to them our Wonderful World. My inspiration is our majestic surroundings - Nature, people, community and animals. When I created the series of artworks “California Dreams” during the pandemic, it was my way to communicate with the World. It is not a copy of nature, but my own conceptual vision of the World. My landscapes are Dreamscapes. When I create compositions, I imagine I am a Bird flying above the Ocean, I am an Animal hiding in the Dark, or I am living in a different Time. What does it look like from that point of view? My composition and color palette means to capture Nature’s Spirit. I use the color arbitrarily to express my feelings. That's what makes my style unique. Art for me is everything - my lifestyle, my work, my passion, my way of communication with World. I am continuously amazed by the World around me. I’m fascinated by the process of painting: searching for the colors, and creating the composition. When I paint, I fall out of time and space and feel absolutely happy. I live another life. I have so many ideas I will be painting forever. The ideas appear randomly. My favorite painting techniques are oil and acrylic on canvas. I also love to work with watercolor, color pencils and oil pastel on paper. It is my dream to exhibit my body of work to the public. This would be my romantic message to the people. 141 TITLE AND ARTIST STATEMENT FOR DUBLIN UTILITY BOX ART PROJECT I am Ekaterina Bazlakova, an established bay- area based artist. I called my artwork “Dublin is a holiday that is always with you”. Unique and beautiful, modern and comfortable, hospitable and welcoming - here are my feelings about Dublin. I think this place is very cozy for life. My artwork reflects landmarks, landscapes, and the natural beauty of Dublin. I painted the old St. Raymond’s Church house in Dublin Heritage Park and Murray Schoolhouse Museum in my project, because they are symbols of Dublin. These houses are of great importance - they tell the history of Dublin. Beautiful old bildings seem to be framed by patterns of blooming magnolia. My composition is done with acrylic in a unique decorative style, it is a dreamscape. The main idea is - peace, safety, beauty and enjoying life. 142 143 PROPOSAL COVERSHEET: Dublin 2022 Utility Bo x Art Project Proposals will not be accepted after Friday, April 22, 2022, 4:00 PM Please indicate experience level: ☒ Professional Artist(s) ☐ Student Artist(s), working under supervision of Art Professional Please indicate any specific box(es) you have proposed a design for, or check ‘No Preference’ if you would be willing to adapt your design(s) to fit any assign ed location: ☒ 1 ☐ 4 ☐ 7 ☐ 2 ☐ 5 ☐ 8 ☐ 10 ☐ 3 ☐ 6 ☐ 9 ☒ Any Artist: ____________________________________________________________ Co-Artist, if applicable_________________________________________________ Co-Artist, if applicable_________________________________________________ __ Signature of Artist: _____________________________________________ Date: ________________ Signature of Co-Artist, if applicable: _________________________________ Date: ________________ Signature of Co-Artist, if applicable: _________________________________ Date: ________________ Supervising Art Professional, if applicable: _____________________________________ Address: _______________________________________________________________ City: __________________________________ State: ___________ Zip: ____________ Phone: _________________________________ Fax: __________________________ E-mail Address: ____________________________Website________________________ Signature of Supervising Art Professional: ____________________________ Date: ________________ Joy Marie Hallare om 144 RESUME QUALIFICATIONS Programs Adobe Creative Suite Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop Office 365 Word, Powerpoint, Excel Autodesk AutoCAD, Revit, Fusion Paint Paint for Residential and Commercial Properties Responsibilities Multitask, manage budget, and meet deadlines on a timely manner COMMISSIONS 2021 “The Lost Treasure” Santa Monica, CA “The Endless Summer” Marina del Rey, CA 2020 “Bubbles” Comfort Inn, Santa Monica, CA “Venice Beach” Venice, CA “Yosemite” Walmart, Fresno, CA AWARDS 2020 “Untitled” Editors’ Pick at Colorism Healing Contest “Wildfire” Curators’ Pick at Artrepreneur 2012 “Wine Ad” Semifinalist at Adobe Achievement Awards 2007 “At Night” First Place at Emerging Artists Awards EDUCATION 2020-2022 Certificate Computer Aided Drafting and Design Fresno City College 2009-2012 BFA Graphic Design-Illustation CSU Fresno 2007-2009 AA Art-Graphic Design College of Sequoias 2003-2007 Diploma Redwood High School 145 ARTIST STATEMENT The City of Dublin is a town filled with abundance and life. It bears a rich history of settlement, farming, war, and infrastructure. My piece is based on the city at the center of all neighboring cities by the San Francisco Bay. I think of Dublin as the treasure. It attracted people to settle and expand. I used the map for the marble texture. When people pass by to see my work, I want them to see not just a map but the central focus on the thriving city and the path that leads to the clover, Dublin’s signature landmark. 146 147 148 MALACHI DIAZ EDUCATION California State University, Monterey Bay May 2021 Bachelor of Arts Degree in Humanities & Communication * GPA: 3.3 Monterey Peninsula College May 2019 Associates of Arts in Communication Studies Graduated with Honors EXPERIENCE Substitute Teacher, Gilroy Unified School District, Gilroy, CA Nov 2021 - Present ●Adapted quickly to a variety of subjects, grade levels, and teaching styles to present information effectively to students without interrupting the lesson plan schedule Speaker Support Team, TEDMonterey, Monterey, CA Aug 2021 ●Assisted VIP speakers prepare and executing their talks, guided them through the conference Customer Service Agent, Main Event Inc., Monterey, CA June ‘15 - April ‘19 ●Managed VIP client accounts and provided a personalized experience Local Outfitter, Trumaker & Co., Sacramento, CA Feb ‘15 - July ‘15 ●Built lasting relationships with clients resulting in personal referrals Administrative Assistant, The Management Trust, Rocklin, CA Aug ‘14 - June ‘15 ●Maintained a trouble-free environment for homeowners News Reporter Intern, Press-Tribune, Roseville, CA June ‘14 - Dec ‘14 ●Authored front-page stories with the oversight of the editor-in-chief Scott Thomas Anderson EXHIBITIONS, HONORS, AWARDS and PROJECTS ●California State University at Monterey Bay Alumni Biennial Exhibition 2022 ●Gilroy Art Walk 2021 ●City of Dublin Electric Box Mural 2021 ●California Endangered Species Mural in Gilroy, CA 2021 ●Capstone Festival Final Presentation - CSUMB 2021 ●Lobby Corps member and Newsletter Editor ‘20 - ‘21 149 Malachi Diaz “Save The Dublin Bees” “Breathe in Dublin” “Geometric Wilderness” In “Save The Dublin Bees” I want to remind the community of the importance of these integral insects. They are responsible for much of the pollination of our beautiful wildflowers and other plants. My design features a close up look at a bee and it’s honeycomb home inside a hive. We will also label parts of the bee’s anatomy and other facts about a bee’s life and their role in our community on different panels of the box. “Breathe in Dublin” is an ode to our miraculous lungs and the work that they do. I am encouraging healthy breathing habits such as breathing in through the nose and breathe exercises, benefits of slow breathing, and information regarding Dublin’s consistently great air quality rating. The lungs will be made up of painted flowers to become the structure of lungs. The other side will have multicolored bronchial passageways in the lungs. The inspiration for “Geometric Wilderness” comes from many camping trips in California,, especially in the Sierra National Forest. I encourage the Dublin community to reconnect with nature and see the world differently. The forest and animals will be formed with shape templates in a bright earth-based color palette. 150 151 152 153 154 Page 6 of 6 PROPOSAL COVERSHEET: Dublin 2022 Utility Box Art Project Proposals will not be accepted after Friday, April 22, 2022, 4:00 PM.

I started drawing at three and a half years old and it’s a hobby that I have kept going for more than a decade because I enjoy it greatly. Throughout the years I have placed in a few art competitions. In 2019 my painting won third in the International Talent Competition and in 2021 I won an honorable mention in the PAL’s virtual competition. I had an amazing time making the paintings that I submitted and I love going through the creative process. Another incredible opportunity I had in 2021 was painting a mural at Fertile Groundworks; I worked with my art club and it took one month to finish. Furthermore, this project was featured in a few local newspapers like the Independent.Finally in 2022 my painting was put into the SRVUSD High School Art exhibit that was featured in San Ramon City Hall. Here are some of my paintings. 2021 PALs 2022 SRVUSD 2019 International 2021 Mural Ms. Wang got her PhD in Art Education from the Ohio State University (the Art Education program in OSU ranked #1 in USA). Her research focuses on critical art education pedagogy and creative thinking. As a member of the National Art Education Association, she presents frequently on the NAEA conferences. Ms. Wang comes from a family of visual artists. Inspired and influenced by her father, Ms. Wang began her training in painting and drawing when she was four years old. Her artwork won various awards in the national and international art competitions. Then she studied artistic design in Shanghai Jiao Tong University for undergraduate and Master’s degree. Ms. Wang has over 10 years teaching experiences. She started teaching studio art to students of all ages when she was 19 years old at her father’s art school. She was awarded the “Best Art Teacher” in China by the Art Education Committee, the Ministry of Education. Then she continued to pursue her PhD degree in Art Education because she loves teaching art. During her PhD study, she taught college level contemporary art and digital art courses for four years. Ms. Wang founded Happy Valley Art School in 2014 and she also teaches digital art in Ohlone College. 160 The Crossroad Throughout history, Dublin has always been known as a crossroads of the Bay Area due to it being located at the intersection of Highway 580 and 680. This dates all the way back to the Native Americans who had trading routes going through the area. This crossroad became more important as time went on carrying Spanish explorers, gold rush miners, and early ranchers and farmers. I attempted to capture this in my design by drawing vehicles from different time periods driving along the road. Additionally, I added the City of Dublin sign onto my drawing to symbolize the birth of this city and celebrate its anniversary. 161 162 163 Chloe Rong My name is Chloe Rong, and I am currently a 9th-grade student at Dougherty Valley High School in San Ramon. Ever since I was young, I have had a great interest in art, and I would love to use my skills to benefit the community. The painted utility boxes around the Tri-Valley area have brightened up the neighborhoods that they are in, and I enjoy spotting them as I drive or walk by. The Tri-Valley area has been my home for many years, and painting a utility box would allow me to give back to the community that has supported me so much. I am a member of the Lapis Lazuli Art Club: a nonprofit Tri-Valley art club that aims to empower kids with a passion for art and allow them to contribute to their communities. Below you can find a list of my art-related achievements. 2022 ●Taught several art classes at a local after school 2021 ●Received three Scholastic regional silver keys ●Painted a mural for the farm nonprofit Fertile Groundworks in Livermore ●Four art pieces were selected to be displayed at the SRVUSD Gallery ●Participated in the Dublin Art Collective’s art display at Paxti’s Pizza ●Taught several online art classes 2020 ●Received one Scholastic regional silver key and one scholastic regional honorable mention 164 Crossroads For Dublin’s 40th anniversary, I wanted to celebrate the connection between Dublin’s land and rich history. Dublin is famously known as a crossroads in the bay area, always in the middle of important connections to other locations. Dublin is also a crossroads between nature and humanity: a connection that has been going on for 40 years. My design,crossroads, aims to celebrate Dublin’s history and natural land. The design features two prominent historic buildings in Dublin: Green’s General Store and the Murray Schoolhouse to represent Dublin’s history. The landscape is a view from Dublin Hills, and shows the beautiful landscape of Dublin. The cows show how the people of Dublin have utilized the land while the flying native birds in the sky display the beauty of our native wildlife. The kites flying alongside the birds show how Dublin as a city exists with the land, and fly along with them to new heights. 165 166 Artist: Iris Shen Iris is a fifteen-year-old student artist and is currently a freshman at Dublin High School. She has been taking weekly art lessons at Michelle Meng’s Art Studio for almost seven years. She works in many mediums of art, but mostly enjoys sketching and painting. In addition to visual arts, Iris has also been trained in performing arts, such as dance and music. Because of this, her art usually takes a more whimsical approach when it comes to landscapes. She has lived all of her life in a suburban landscape but often takes outdoor hikes with her mother, which she finds to be inspiring for her art. Iris has competed in the Junior Duck Stamp Contest, the Dublin Arts Collective logo contest, and the Alameda County Fair, in which she has won the title of Best in Class and Best in Show. Iris views art as a very relaxing hobby and often finds herself drawing in her free time. 167 Supervising Profesional Artist: Chunhui Meng (Michelle Meng) Michelle has taught art lessons for 20 years and counting. Prior to teaching, she completed her years of education at Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts in China, majored in Fine Arts Education, and Wilfred Laurier University in Canada, majored in Fine Arts. Michelle fuses the western and eastern traditions and techniques in her teaching and in her art works. Between her teaching years, she also worked as a graphic designer and Jewelry designer for a few years. She’s also a local Artist and serves as judge for art competitions. 168 Summary of Piece My piece is called "Creeks Through Dublin." I've always felt like creeks are an underappreciated part of Dublin. Most people acknowledge their existence, but not many take time to appreciate the beauty surrounding them. They have also been in Dublin since the city was formed– they are everlasting, a permanent staple. They also hold somewhat of a sentimental value to me, as I often went on walks near these creeks when I was younger. The world seems much more vibrant when you're a child, and I brought that childlike feeling out through the vibrant colors and whimsical mood within my piece. 169 170 171 Artist Qualification Ryan Zhang (student) I am currently a sophomore at American High School in Fremont. I enjoy drawing traditionally and digitally in my free time. I have taken a variety of classes in art, such as sketching, acrylic painting, digital illustration and digital art. I enjoy exploring different art forms and work hard to build solid foundation skills. Recently I received a Golden Key award (digital art) in the 2022 Scholastic Writing & Art contest. I plan to go into the art field in the future. Kara Liu (student) Kara is a 5th grade student at Warwick Elementary School in Fremont. Kara enjoys writing, drawing and playing musical instruments. Kara likes to get her friends together to participate in the school talent show. Kate Zhang (student) Kate is a 5th grade student at Warwick Elementary School in Fremont.

She is currently working in the Internet advertising media industry in the Bay Area, specializing in graphic design and typography for media advertisement. She loves art and loves traveling. She and her team are motivated to participate in community activities and support each other to make our community a better place. 172 Design Rendering See attached image file. Title & Artist Statement Dublin under the Sunset The design shows a hiker overlooking the city of Dublin from a nearby hill. The city lights start to illuminate under the golden sunset. It is a beautiful and peaceful scene, yet full of liveliness.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:Approve the budget change. FINANCIAL IMPACT:Two all-electric Zero FXP dual-purpose police motorcycles will cost $35,720.66. There is sufficient fund balance in the Vehicle Abatement fund to make this purchase. There is no impact to the General Fund. DESCRIPTION:Dublin Police Services staff have conducted research into the use of dual-purpose police motorcycle for enforcement services, particularly with its ability to work areas not easily accessible to other response vehicles.
