DESCRIPTION: In February 2006, the City Council elected to include a public art
element into the Dougherty Hills Dog Park project. The Dublin Fine Arts Foundation agreed to
commission the project as part of their Art in the Parks program. In December 2006, The City Council
approved an agreement with artist Michele M. Alcantara and the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation to complete
the artwork. After completion, the City Council accepted the artwork in September 2007.
The total cost of the artwork was $20,000. As with other Art in the Park projects, the City agreed to
contribute one-quarter of the artwork costs. The remaining three-quarters of the artwork costs were paid
for by the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation and donations received.
As a show of recognition and appreciation for the donors that contributed a total of $3,596.49 towards the
artwork costs, the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation would like to display a plaque acknowledging each
individual and business for their donations.
The plaque, as shown in Attachment 1, will be a 2 square-foot image of a paw print inscribed with a note
of appreciation and a listing of each donor. The plaque will be made of aluminum composite (brand name
DiBond@), which is made of two sheets of painted aluminum with a solid polyethylene core. This
material is lightweight, sturdy and resistant to weather and rust. The plaque will be coated with a topcoat
to prevent fading from ultra-violet rays.
