SUBJECT: Project Acceptance, Civic Center Library Public Art
Report Prepared By: Herma Lichtenstein, Parks and Facilities
Development Manager
ATTACHMENTS: None
RECOMMENDATION: ~- Accept improvements under Civic Center Library Arts Contracts
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION: At the start of the Civic Center Library project a portion of the budget
was set aside to include art as part of the overall design. The areas included the children's area, the outdoor
entry plaza and the glass rotunda. Each area was contracted to a separate artist: the Children's area to
Evans & Brown for $25,000, the rotunda to Peter Mollica for $55,000, and the plaza to Robert Ellison for
$100,000. The artists have completed the design and installation of the pieces and fulfilled their
requirements of the contract. As part of the artist's contracts the City has an obligation to formally accept
the pieces as complete.
The City has reviewed the art pieces and has determined that the work is complete. It is the
recommendation of Staff that the City Council accept the improvements under the Civic Center Library
Arts Contracts for the three pieces completed by Robert Ellison (Know Way), Peter Mollica (Seasons),
and Evans & Brown (Cut Outs).
