Additional work across Stagecoach, Devany Square, Shannon, Dolan, Positano, Ted Fairfield, Bray Commons, Alamo Creek, and Kolb Parks focused on landscaping, lighting, and safety enhancements, ensuring that community parks remain well- maintained and welcoming. Wallis Ranch Community Park Grand Opening On Saturday, August 16, the City of Dublin celebrated the grand opening of Wallis Ranch Community Park, an 8.85-acre park featuring pickleball courts, basketball courts, a dog park, picnic areas, children’s play structures, and walking trails along Tassajara Creek. With a project cost of $6.7 million, the park was designed to serve the growing community and promote outdoor recreation and sports. The event welcomed City leaders, dignitaries, and community members to mark the completion of this community park. Capital Improvement Projects 9 Attachment 1 2 Forest Park construction was completed in late summer 2025 and is now in its plant establishment phase, with full completion expected by late fall, making it Dublin’s 27th park. The city also launched A Forest for the Future adoption program, a program designed to give the community a meaningful way to help grow a lasting legacy in Forest Park. Through the program, any individual, family, business, or community group can adopt a tree, each with a personalized marker, becoming part of the beginning of a forest that will flourish for generations to come. Additionally, future Francis Ranch North and South Parks, totaling 11 acres, are in the bidding phase with construction anticipated to begin in fall 2025 and completion projected for late 2026 or early 2027 in partnership with Trumark. For the DC Centre linear park, the city and developer are in the public input stage, with the City Council expected to review and approve a conceptual design by the end of 2025. In addition, Public Works is upgrading street median irrigation controllers across key park and library areas to integrate with the City’s Central Irrigation System, enabling weather- based adjustments that will improve water efficiency, with construction already underway. Contract Classes Sports programs, especially tennis, basketball, and soccer, remain highly popular among participants. Additional offerings through contract partnerships include Leisure Classes, Cultural Arts, and Fitness programs. New programs introduced this period featured Cheerleading Dance Camps, as well as themed camps like Live Action and Mario Flix.

Through collaboration with the WIN (Workforce Inclusion Network) for All program, the city successfully placed 18 individuals into various part-time, entry-level positions across departments, including The Wave, Senior Center, and Heritage Park. This was the largest number of participants employed by the city so far, and these roles aligned seamlessly with the goals of the WIN for All program. To support this initiative, Futures Explored staff conducted a comprehensive two-hour training session for City staff and supervisors, equipping them with strategies to effectively work with individuals with disabilities. Additionally, participants received ongoing support from job coaches provided by Futures Explored. Many of the 18 participants from this past summer remained on the City’s roster, highlighting the long-term impact and effectiveness of the program. Summer Day Camps From June 9 - August 8, the Department hosted a lively season of Day Camps, welcoming more than 760 participants across four unique programs.  Camp Shannon at Shannon Park provided full-day fun, with campers enjoying games, crafts, and walking field trips.  Camp Splash at Emerald Glen Park blended mornings of group activities and outdoor play with afternoons at the waterpark.  Camp Sunrise offered half-day sessions at both Emerald Glen and Shannon Park, giving children opportunities to play sports, create art, and explore nearby parks.  Camp Shamrock, designed for preschool-aged children at the Shannon Community Center, introduced participants to a variety of engaging, hands-on activities. Summer Leadership, Experience, and Development (LEAD) Program 11 Attachment 1 4 Alongside day camps, 58 youth leaders participated in the LEAD program, open to students entering seventh grade and above. LEAD participants assisted Staff at camps and swim lessons while developing essential workplace skills. Training covered everything from customer service to job search strategies and interview techniques, giving participants a strong foundation for future success. Preschool Programs The Preschool Program at Shannon Community Center is adapting to new statewide transitional kindergarten changes. This year, Staff launched two new options. Shannon Academy, a structured skill-building program, and Little Clovers Extended Learning, a theme-based kindergarten readiness program. While enrollment has been lower than anticipated, Staff are actively researching other cities’ models, surveying community needs, and evaluating the program each season to ensure Dublin families receive the best possible preschool options. Youth Advisory Committee In June, the City Council appointed members to the 2025–26 Youth Advisory Committee (YAC). At their first meeting in July, members participated in team-building activities, elected a chairperson, and began shaping the year ahead through collaborative brainstorming. Their discussions set the stage for upcoming events and initiatives that will guide the 2025–26 YAC work plan. What’s especially exciting this year is the expansion of the Youth Mini Grant Program, which will grow from awarding $2,500 to $10,000 for Dublin middle and high school organizations/clubs that offer performing arts, sports, multicultural awareness, health awareness, or other youth activities that support projects or programs serving or benefiting Dublin youth. This increase will allow the YAC to support even more youth - led projects and community initiatives throughout the year. Youth and Adult Sports Adult Softball and Basketball In 2025, the Adult Softball program transitioned to a new format, offering back -to-back Spring/Summer and Summer/Fall leagues for the first time.

The class focused on the fundamentals of basketball in an inclusive and relaxed environment. All-Ball Summer Camp Building on the success of its inaugural season, the Department expanded its All-Ball Summer Camp at Stager Community Gym to five weeks, welcoming a total of 122 participants. Led by City Staff, the camp introduced youth to the fundamentals of a variety of ball games while also incorporating traditional camp activities.

The future artwork, a permanent outdoor mural, will be located on a utility enclosure that is adjacent to the Dublin Library. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Consider the Public Art proposals and recommend one proposal to the City Council for approval. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding for this project is included in the Fiscal Year 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program (Project PA0125). The total project budget is approximately $200,000, with the artist’s commission for this specific mural estimated to be between $25,000 - $40,000. The project is fully funded through the Public Art Fund, and no General Fund dollars will be used. DESCRIPTION: Background At its June 4, 2024, meeting, the City Council approved the 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program that included a new Public Art project (PA0125) dedicated to future outdoor murals. The project allocated $200,000 for projects including, but not limited to, generator and other utility enclosures. Project PA0125 earmarks funding to support future mural projects. Including both those that are currently planned and those that may arise in the future. One specific planned project is for a permanent mural on the generator enclosure located adjacent to the Dublin Library in the parking lot between the Dublin Library and Dublin City Hall. Once complete, this outdoor mural will be added to the City’s permanent Public Art Collection . 19 Page 2 of 3 Artist & Artwork Selection On February 12, 2025, Staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking qualified artists (Attachment 1). Interested artists submitted a portfolio and resume to be considered for an invitation to develop a site-specific design proposal. The deadline for the RFQ was March 26, 2025. The City received thirty-one responses from qualified artists. At its May 8, 2025, meeting, the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission (Commission) discussed and provided feedback on objectives, themes, and other relevant information related to this specific mural project. The theme developed for this project was “Our Story Begins with Imagination.” Commission feedback was provided to the Ad Hoc Artwork Selection Committee (Selection Committee) as they convened for artist portfolio review and selection. Additionally, artists selected to develop site-specific proposals were provided with project-specific objectives developed from the feedback. Lastly, during artwork selection by the Committee, artist proposals were reviewed against the project-specific objectives. Feedback and project objectives provided to artists and Selection Committee members are included as Attachment 2. On June 18, 2025, the Selection Committee met to review artist portfolios. The Selection Committee selected five artists and invited them to provide a site-specific design proposal. The Selection Committee reconvened on August 20, 2025, to review the site-specific design proposals. After deliberations, the Committee selected three proposals for consideration. These proposals were from artists Morgan Bricca, Yetti Frenkel, and MJ Lindo-Lawer/Rough Edge Collective. The full proposal from each artist, including their original portfolio submissions, is included as Attachments to this Staff report. Community Outreach Between September 3, 2025, and September 14, 2025, a public survey was available seeking feedback on the proposals from the three finalists. The survey was shared via traditional city channels, including on the City website. Over seven hundred responses were received. The feedback received was overwhelmingly positive for all three proposals, and the feedback was shared with artists for consideration. The feedback is summarized below. Morgan Bricca Proposal Feedback The mural received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with respondents praising its calming, nature-focused design that reflects Dublin’s environment, history, and trails. Respondents felt it blended seamlessly with the surroundings, looked polished and professional, and was inclusive by focusing on nature rather than people. Minor suggestions included adjusting or relocating the poem/legend and avoiding too much repetition with other nature -themed art. Yetti Frenkel Proposal Feedback The mural received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Respondents praised the proposal for capturing Dublin’s families, diversity, community spirit, and natural beauty. Respondents thought its colorful, inclusive, storybook style feels cheerful, relatable, and perfect for a library 20 Page 3 of 3 setting. Suggestions included adding more native plants and wild life, blending the panels more smoothly, adjusting or replacing the cows, ensuring kids wear helmets, and simplifying busy sections. MJ Lindo-Lawyer/Rough Edge Collective Proposal Feedback The mural received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Respondents praised its vibrant, bold colors and modern style, as well as its inclusive representation of Dublin’s diverse community. The child reading was highlighted as a perfect tie to the library’s purpose. Suggestions included refining demographic representation to ensure an accurate reflection of Dublin’s growing cultural and geographic diversity, in addition to its history. Next Steps The Commission is being asked to review the three site-specific design proposals and make a recommendation to the City Council for consideration. It is anticipated that the City Council will consider the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission recommendation in January 2026. The project will commence following City Council approval and execution of a Public Art Agreement. STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE: None. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: The Commission Agenda was posted, and the artists were provided with a copy of the Staff Report.

From this list of pre-qualified artists, the City will invite artists to submit proposals for specific projects. BACKGROUND The City of Dublin, incorporated in 1982, is one of the fastest growing communities in California. Dublin is located in the Tri-Valley region, about 30 miles east of San Francisco, bordered by the cities of Pleasanton, Livermore, and San Ramon. Dublin has a robust public art program, with a municipal collection of more than 35 works, primarily outdoor sculptures, murals, and tile works acquired or commissioned in the last 20 years. In 2020, the City updated its Public Art Master Plan. The Public Art Master Plan emphasizes highly visible artwork along major thoroughfares and prioritizes artworks within Downtown Dublin. All expected mural projects are anticipated to be in highly visible areas and experience high volumes of vehicle and/or pedestrian traffic. MURAL OPPORTUNITIES Anticipated Mural Opportunities The City of Dublin anticipates the completion of mural(s) throughout the City of Dublin in the next three years. Exact locations are yet to be confirmed, but may include above ground utility enclosures, building facades, and other locations in the public right-of- way or on City owned property. Budgets will vary by specific project but are anticipated to range from $15,000 to $50,000 and are intended to include all costs, including site and surface preparation, materials, painting, and finish coats. Detailed specifications and project scope will be shared with artists selected to develop site specific proposals. Artwork selection timelines will vary depending on the specific project scope. It is anticipated that the City will begin its first mural project in Summer 2025 on a backup generator enclosure at the Dublin Public Library (200 Civic Plaza. Dublin, CA 94568). Attachment 1 22 Page 2 of 5 ART SELECTION PROCESS Staff Review City Staff, including the Heritage and Cultural Arts Division, Public Works Department, and contract public art conservator, reviews all applicants. Staff Review evaluates artistic qualifications and merit; demonstrated ability to create works that are unique, appropriate to the location, and meaningful to the community; and experience working successfully with government agencies, engineers, architects, and landscape architects, and project managers. The Staff Review also identifies up to 20 artists to be presented to the Project Selection Committee. Project Selection Committee Review of Artists The Project Selection Committee, made up of five to seven people, including stakeholders and members of the public, reviews the qualifications of up to 20 pre- qualified artists. The Project Selection Committee narrows the list to no more than five artists invited to present a proposal for the project. Artists are invited to a site visit and meet with Staff to ensure an understanding of the project's scope and timeline. Project Selection Committee Review of Designs The Project Selection Committee is reconvened to review the submitted designs. Artists are required to attend this review and present their concepts in detail, as well as material samples, renderings, and maquettes. The Project Selection Committee will rank design proposals for the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission. The Project Selection Committee may reject any or all designs and may return to the pre-qualified list if necessary. Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission Meeting The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission reviews the Project Selection Committee’s ranked recommendations. The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission reviews projects based on whether they meet the goals and criteria identified in the Public Art Master Plan. Artists are required to attend the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission Meeting and are expected to briefly present their concept, materials samples, renderings, and maquette. The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission will make a final recommendation to the City Council for approval.

Attachment 1Attachment 1 27 2 Public Art Agreement 1.3 Assignment of Personnel. Artist shall assign only competent personnel to perform services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that City, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Agreement, desires the reassignment of any such persons, Artist shall, immediately upon receiving notice from City of such desire of City, reassign such person or persons. 1.4 Time. Artist shall devote such time to the performance of services pursuant to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to meet the standard of performance provided in Section 1.1 above and to satisfy Artist’s obligations hereunder. 2.

Consequently, the parties further agree that compensation hereunder is intended to include the costs of contributions to any pensions and/or annuities to which Artist and its employees, agents, and subcontractors may be eligible. City therefore has no responsibility for such contributions beyond compensation required under this Agreement. 3.1 Invoices.

City shall make available to Artist only the facilities and equipment listed in Exhibit B, and only under the terms and conditions set forth herein. 5. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ARTIST 5.1 The Artist agrees that an essential element of this Agreement is the skill and creativity of the Artist. The Artist shall not assign the creative or artistic portions of the Work to another party for the production of the Work without the written consent of the City. Failure to conform to this provision may be cause for termination of this Agreement, at the sole option of the City. 5.2 The Artist shall be responsible for providing services described in Exhibit B, including but not limited to, the quality and timely completion of the services. As part of the Work, Artist shall be responsible for designing the Work, as described in Exhibit A, so that it can be constructed without exceeding the approved overall budget for the Work of $_______.

The Artist shall take such measures as are necessary to protect the Work from loss or damage until final acceptance by City. 6. TIMELY PROVISION OF SERICES; DAMAGES FOR DELAYED PERFORMANCE. The parties agree that in the performance of the terms and requirements of this Agreement by the Artist that time is of the essence. Artist shall devote such time to the performance of services pursuant to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary for satisfactory performance of Artist's obligations pursuant to this Agreement. 6.1 Damages for Delayed Performance. Subject to reasonable proof and documentation confirming the same submitted by the City, Artist shall be liable for all incidental and consequential damages resulting, directly or indirectly, from delays in performance caused by Artist's acts or omissions. Damages may include, but are not limited to the cost to retrofit the Work installation area should Artist not meet installation schedule as specified in Exhibit B. The Artist shall not be liable to City for damages resulting from delays caused by force majeure or by acts or omissions of City, Architect or the General Contractor; or third party vandalism, except to the extent Artist failed reasonably to mitigate such damages.Illness, Injury, Death or Incapacity. Should Artist die, become ill, injured or otherwise incapacitated (collectively, “incapacitated”) such that Artist is unable to work for any period not exceeding 30 days (whether consecutive or non-consecutive), any delay arising out of such incapacity will be allowed by City whenever it is Attachment 1Attachment 1 30 5 Public Art Agreement practicable to do so, considering the facts and circumstances of the Work, the Project, the Architect, the General Contractor and the Client. City may require Artist to provide medical certification of any claimed incapacity. In the event Artist is incapacitated such that Artist is unable to work for a period exceeding a total of 30 days (whether consecutive or nonconsecutive), City may, at its option, undertake to complete and install the Work in Artist’s absence, so long as the final Work is substantially similar to that designed by Artist. If City undertakes to complete the Work, City shall give due consideration to Artist’s suggestions, and Artist may disclaim authorship of the Work. If City exercises its option to implement the Work in Artist’s absence, any compensation paid or payable to Artist shall be reduced by the costs and expenditures of City in completion and installation of the Work. In case of incapacity exceeding 30 days, the following person shall be Artist’s representative vis-à-vis the City for purposes of this Section 6 unless otherwise directed in writing by the Artist: Name: Address City, State, ZIP Phone: Email: 7. APPROVAL AND FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF WORK. Payment does not imply acceptance of work. The granting of any payment by City, or the receipt thereof by Artist, shall in no way lessen the liability of Artist to replace unsatisfactory work, equipment, or materials, although the unsatisfactory character of such work, equipment or materials may not have been apparent or detected at the time such payment was made. Materials, equipment, components, or workmanship that does not conform to the requirements of this Agreement may be rejected by City and in such case must be replaced by Artist without as soon as possible. 7.1 The granting or withholding of any approval by the City shall be determined by the City in its sole and reasonable discretion. However, the City shall approve all deliverables if they materially conform to plans or Contract Documents previously approved by the City. If the City withholds approval of any deliverables or Phase, in addition to other rights or remedies available to the City under the Agreement or applicable law, the City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately and shall have no further obligations under this Agreement. 7.2 Final Acceptance. Artist shall advise the City in writing when Artist has completed all obligations, services and deliverables under this Agreement and all modifications. The City promptly shall send a Notice of Response identifying in writing any obligations, services, or deliverables that Artist has not satisfactorily met, any defects in Artist’s performance, and the requirements for Artist to cure any such default. Artist shall have twenty (20) days from dispatch of the Notice of Response to cure any defects in Artist’s performance identified in the City’s Notice of Response. The Work shall not be officially accepted by City unless the City has issued a resolution of Final Acceptance. City shall make a good faith effort to make a determination as to Final Acceptance promptly. Final Acceptance occurs once Work is delivered and installing in consultation with Parks Department, and City and inspected and approved the Work. Attachment 1Attachment 1 31 6 Public Art Agreement 7.3 Public Art Collection. Upon Final Acceptance, the City shall accession the Work into the Public Art Collection. 8. WARRANTIES/STANDARDS 8.1 Unique. Artist warrants that the design of the Work as expressed in the Proposal, Exhibit A, is an edition of one, and that neither Artist nor Artist’s agents will execute or authorize another to execute another work of the same or substantially similar image, design, dimensions and materials as the Work. Artist may create works that utilize or incorporate various individual art elements that comprise the Work, so long as the work utilizing or incorporating such individual elements (1) does not consist predominantly of such elements, (2) is not the same or substantially similar in image, design, dimensions and materials as the Work, and (3) is not displayed in an environment that is the same or substantially similar to the environment in which the Work is to be displayed at the site. 8.2 Warranty of Title. Artist represents and warrants that Artist is the sole author of the Work and that Artist is the sole owner of any and all copyrights pertaining to the Work. Artist further represents that the Work is free and clear of any liens and that there are no outstanding disputes in connection with property rights, intellectual property rights or any other rights in the Work or any parts of the Work. 8.3 The Artist shall faithfully perform the work required under this Agreement in accordance with standards of care, skill, training, diligence, and judgment provided by highly competent professionals who perform work of a similar nature to the Work described in this Agreement. Artist shall assign only competent personnel to perform services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that City, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Agreement, desires the removal of any such persons, Artist shall, immediately upon receiving notice from City of such desire of City, cause the removal of such person or persons, unless in the Artist's sole opinion, the skill or creativity of such person or persons is essential to the creation of the Work. 8.4 Warranty of Workmanship. The Artist shall guarantee his/her Work to be free from faults of material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year after installation and Final Acceptance by the City. The Artist shall deliver the Work to the City free and clear of any liens from any source whatsoever. The foregoing guarantees shall apply only to the Work that is entirely that of the Artist or persons responsible to the Artist, as installed, and shall not apply to materials or workmanship of projects in which the Work of the Artist is integrated or combined, or to materials purchased, acquired, or installed by a person or entity not responsible to the Artist. 8.5 Warranty of Public Safety. Artist represents and warrants that the Work will not pose a danger to public health or safety in view of the possibility of misuse, if such misuse is in a manner that was reasonably foreseeable at any time during the term of this Agreement. 8.6 Warranty of Acceptable Standard of Display and Operation. Artist represents and warrants that: Attachment 1Attachment 1 32 7 Public Art Agreement 8.6.1 Occasional or minimal cleaning and repair of the Work and any associated working parts and/or equipment will maintain the Work within an acceptable standard of public display; 8.6.2 Foreseeable exposure to the elements and general wear and tear will cause the Work to experience only minor repairable damages and will not cause the Work to fall below an acceptable standard of public display; and 8.6.3 With general routine cleaning and repair, and within the context of foreseeable exposure to the elements and general wear and tear, the Work will not experience irreparable conditions that do not fall within an acceptable standard of public display, including mold, rust, fracturing, staining, chipping, tearing, abrading and peeling. 8.7 Manufacturer’s Warranties. To the extent the Work incorporates products covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, Artist shall provide copies of such warranties to City. 9. MAINTENANCE OF WORK 9.1 Unless specifically provided in this Agreement, Artist shall not be responsible for ongoing maintenance of the Work. 9.2 Artist shall provide the City with a General Maintenance Plan for the Work, with a detailed description of future anticipated maintenance requirements; a recommended maintenance schedule; anticipated and required care and/or replacement/upgrade of any part of the Work and associated moving parts or equipment including any staff time involved in displaying or operating Work and the frequency of such staff involvement; and written instructions and manufacturer’s specifications for reasonably foreseeable maintenance and preservation activities relating to the Work. 9.3 The Work shall be durable, taking into consideration that the installation site is an unsecured public space that may be exposed to elements such as weather, temperature variation, and considerable movement of people and equipment. Artist shall ensure that all maintenance requirements will be reasonable in terms of time and expense. 9.4 Although City strives to maintain the Public Art Collection in good repair and condition, City is not required by this Agreement to maintain the Work to any particular standard. City may determine to allow the Work to deteriorate in accordance with the Work’s temporary life span, if deemed appropriate by City or if City lacks sufficient funds for required maintenance and/or conservation. If the Work suffers deterioration, City shall have sole discretion to determine whether to remove the Work from display as a result of deterioration, whether to replace any portion of the Work or translate any component into new media, or whether to maintain the Work on display despite its deteriorated condition. 9.5 The anticipated life span of the Work is 25 years from the date of final acceptance by the City. After that time, the City in its sole discretion may re-evaluate the Work to determine if it retains its identity as a work of art and, if not, whether to take appropriate action, including the possibility of destroying the Work. If the City determines that, through decay, vandalism or Attachment 1Attachment 1 33 8 Public Art Agreement other forces, the Work has lost its integrity to the point where it should be destroyed, the City shall first offer the Work to Artist free of charge and in writing. 10. ARTIST’S RIGHTS; CITY’S OWNERSHIP RIGHTS 10.1 Artwork Removal. The Work may be removed from the Site at any time. Artist acknowledges and understands that the installation of the Work at the Site may subject the Work to destruction, distortion, mutilation, or other modification due to the acts of the City or third parties or to its removal, repair, maintenance, storage, or transfer of ownership. 10.2 The City intends to display the Work as originally created by Artist in Exhibit A and to maintain the Work in good condition. Public artworks commissioned by the City are sometimes integrated into their site, such that they become an integral, permanent and site- specific part of a building’s architecture or landscaped environment and removal of the Work would result in significant changes to the Work and the building’s architecture. City, however, shall preserve complete flexibility to operate and manage City property in the public’s interest. Therefore, City retains the absolute right to alter the Work in City’s sole judgment. For example, City may alter the Work to eliminate hazard, to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, to otherwise aid City in the management of its property and affairs, or through neglect or accident. If, during or after the term of this Agreement, City finds the Site to be inappropriate, City has the right to install the Work at an alternate location that City chooses in its sole discretion. If the Work is free-standing such that it can be removed without significant damage to the Work or the Site, and if the City authorizes the removal of the Work, the City shall take reasonable precautions to minimize alteration of the Work during removal. 10.3 With respect to the Work produced under this Agreement, and in consideration of the procedures and remedies specified in this Agreement, Artist waives any and all claims, arising at any time and under any circumstances, against City, its officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns, arising under the federal Visual Artists Rights Act (and 113(d)), the California Art Preservation Act (Cal. Civil Code §§987 et seq.), and any other local, state, federal, or international laws that convey rights of the same nature as those conveyed under 17 U.S.C. §106A, Cal. Civil Code §§987 et seq., or any other type of moral right protecting the integrity of works of art. If the Work is incorporated into a building such that the Work cannot be removed from the building without alteration of the Work, Artist waives any and all such claims against any future owners of the site, and its agents, officers and employees, for alteration of the Work. Artist shall provide City with aforementioned waivers prior to the commencement of work. 10.4 If City intends to take any action with respect to the site or the Work that would alter the Work, other than routine cleaning and maintenance, the following procedures shall apply: 10.4.1 Notice. Where time permits, City shall make reasonable good faith efforts to notify Artist at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to authorizing any alteration of the Work, at the last phone number or address provided by Artist to the City’s Contract Administrator. Where time does not permit prior to alteration of the Work – for example, in cases of public Attachment 1Attachment 1 34 9 Public Art Agreement hazard, accident or unauthorized alteration – City shall notify Artist within thirty (30) calendar days after such alteration. 10.4.2 Consultation. After receiving such notice, Artist shall consult with City to determine whether the Work can be restored or relocated, and to attempt to come to a mutually agreeable plan for disposition of the Work. Such consultation shall be without charge by Artist unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing. If City intends to remove the Work, Artist shall consult regarding methods to minimize or repair any Alteration to the Work caused by such removal and the potential costs of such removal. 10.4.3 Restoration. If the Work is altered, with or without prior notice to Artist, and City intends to maintain the Work on display, City shall make a reasonable good faith effort to engage Artist in the restoration of the Work and to compensate Artist for Artist’s time and efforts at fair market value, which may be the subject of a future Agreement between Artist and City. However, City has no obligation under this Agreement to restore the Work to its original condition, to compensate Artist for any restoration work, or to maintain the Work on display. If Artist fails or refuses to negotiate with City in good faith with respect to any restoration, City may contract with any other qualified art conservator or artist for such restoration. During Artist’s lifetime, City shall make best efforts not to display or de-accession only a portion of the Work without Artist’s consent. 10.4.4 Removal by Artist. Where time permits, if City intends to take action that will destroy or significantly alter the Work, such as destruction of all or part of the site, and City determines that it will not remove the Work itself, City shall allow Artist to remove the Work at Artist’s expense within 60 days of notice from the City of the need to remove the Work, in which case title shall revert to Artist. If Artist fails to remove the Work within that 60 day period, City may alter the Work in any manner, including destroying it, in City’s sole discretion. 10.4.5 Remedies. If City breaches any of its obligations under this Section, Artist’s remedies shall be limited as follows: If City inadvertently fails to provide a required prior notice of alteration, City will provide notice as soon as it discovers the omission, and before alteration of the Work if that remains possible. If City alters the Work without providing Artist a required prior notice of alteration, Artist shall be given the first right of refusal to restore the Work at the same location and City shall make reasonable efforts to provide funding for the restoration. If City funds cannot be made available after reasonable efforts are made to secure such funding, Artist may, but is not obligated to, restore the Work at Artist’s expense. If Artist elects not to restore the Work, City may retain another artist or conservator to restore it, or may Alter the Work in any manner, at City’s sole discretion. 10.5 If City alters the Work without Artist’s consent in a manner that is prejudicial to Artist’s reputation, Artist retains the right to disclaim authorship of the Work in accordance with California Civil Code §987(d) and 17 U.S.C. §106A(a)(2). 10.6 Except as provided in this Agreement, with respect to third parties who are not officers, employees, agents, successors or assigns of City, Artist retains Artist’s moral rights in the Work, as established in the Visual Artists Rights Act (17 U.S.C. §§106A and 113(d)), the California Art Preservation Act (Cal. Civil Code §§987 and 989), or any other local, state, Attachment 1Attachment 1 35 10 Public Art Agreement federal or international moral rights laws that protect the integrity of works of art. Accordingly, nothing herein shall prevent Artist from pursuing a claim for alteration of the Work against a third party who is not an officer, employee, agent, successor or assign of City. City has no obligation to pursue claims against third parties to remedy or prevent alteration of the Work. However, as owner of the Work, City may pursue claims against third parties for damages or to restore the Work if the Work has been altered without City’s authorization. 11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PUBLICITY RIGHTS 11.1 Copyright. Subject to usage rights and licenses granted to City hereunder, Artist shall retain all 17 U.S.C. §106 copyrights in all original works of authorship produced under this Agreement. Artist’s copyright shall not extend to predominantly utilitarian aspects of the Work, such as landscaping elements, furnishings, or other similar objects. If Artist is comprised of two or more individual persons, the individual persons shall be deemed joint authors of the Work. 11.1.1 Artist agrees that all work performed under this Agreement shall comply with all applicable patent, trademark and copyright laws, rules, regulations and codes of the State of California and the United States. Artist hereby represents and warrants that the work does not, and Artist has not and will not, utilize any protected patent, trademark or copyright in performance under this Agreement unless and until Artist has obtained proper permission and all releases and other necessary documents. 11.1.2 Artist agrees to release, indemnify, defend, and save harmless City, its officers and employees from any and all claims, damages, suits, costs, expenses, liabilities, actions or proceedings of any kind resulting from the performance under this Agreement which infringes upon any patent, trademark or copyright or other right protected by law. 11.2 City’s Intellectual Property License.

City may make and distribute, and authorize the making, display and distribution of, photographs and other 2-dimensional reproductions. City may use such reproductions for any City-related purpose, including advertising, educational and promotional materials, brochures, books, flyers, postcards, print, broadcast, film, electronic and multimedia publicity, gifts for City benefactors, documentation of City’s Public Art Collection, and catalogues or similar publications. City shall ensure that such reproductions are made in a professional and tasteful manner, in the sole and reasonable judgment of the City. The proceeds Attachment 1Attachment 1 36 11 Public Art Agreement from the sale of any such reproductions shall be used to maintain and support City’s Public Art Collection or for any other public purposes that City deems appropriate. The license granted hereunder includes the right to create 2-dimensional reproductions on items such as tote-bags, T- shirts, coffee mugs and similar merchandise. Nothing hereunder shall be construed to constrain Artist from creating posters, note cards, or other reproductions of the Work with appropriate credit to the City. 11.2.3 Public Records Requests. Any documents provided by Artist to City are public records and City may authorize third parties to review and reproduce such documents pursuant to public records laws, including the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance and California Public Records Act. 11.3 Third Party Infringement.

The City anticipates commissioning a permanent mural on a generator enclosure adjacent to the Dublin Public Library at Dublin Civic Center (200 Civic Plaza, Dublin, CA 94568). Alameda County operates the Dublin Public Library, which is consistently one of the busiest libraries in its network. Additionally, the location is situated in a shared parking lot adjacent to Dublin City Hall and provides overflow parking for the Dublin Sports Grounds. It is located adjacent to a regional trail access point, and a number of City events take place at the site. Following a project review with City Staff, Library Staff, Artwork Selection Committee, and the City’s Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission, the following project information was developed. This is not intended to be prescriptive, but rather as a broad outline of project goals and considerations. It is recommended that artists carefully consider the site and surroundings, Dublin’s existing public art collection, and Dublin’s highly diverse demographics. Additionally, the design theme “Our Story Begins with Imagination” was developed for this project. Community Representation: •Emphasize the intersection of growth and community while ensuring representation of cultural diversity and generational change as well as the community’s unique character. •Design elements that convey the idea of growth, imagination, and a collective journey honoring past and future generations. •A welcoming, family-friendly space for diverse groups, particularly teens and young adults that encourages learning, reflection, and inclusiveness. •Recognize and honor Dublin’s historic, cultural, and natural resources, including trails and wildlife, making connections to the community’s identity. Visual Style, Symbolism, Iconography: •Aesthetic Balance. Utilize colorful elements but with a controlled vibrancy to create a balanced, dynamic visual effect. •Avoid reliance on literal imagery of bookshelves and traffic control symbols. •Be cautious with symbols, using them sparingly and meaningfully to avoid confusion or unintended associations. •Include elements that engage viewers in multiple ways, encouraging them to interpret the artwork from different perspectives. •Inspire imagination, wisdom, and knowledge through a design that connects with the local library and government offices. •Use visual elements that provoke thought and stimulate conversation about community identity and history. •Utilize a thematic approach that is both bold and refined.
