STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Discuss and recommend the Adirondack Chair display period, and stipend amount as part of the Temporary Public Art program. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of 20 unpainted Adirondack-style wooden lawn chairs, is expected to be $1,390 plus tax and shipping. The artist stipend to be determined and paid out of the Public Art Fund. Revenue would be recouped from sale of chairs after the display period concludes. DESCRIPTION: At its May 9, 2019 regular meeting, the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission reviewed the concept of a temporary art program in which fiberglass or plastic figures are decorated by various artists and are displayed, often within walking distance of each other and in a pedestrian area such as a downtown or Park. The Commission voted unanimously to support this type of program. At its June 13, 2019 meeting, the Commission reviewed several potential figure designs available from a supplier to provide blank fiberglass forms that artists can decorate. Commissioners indicated an interest in artwork that could later be auctioned off to residents and businesses for private display. A versatile size for display in front of a business or in a residential yard is approximately 24”-36” high. The Commission also suggested something functional - such as lawn chairs, which would complement the 6.1 Packet Pg. 16 Page 2 of 2 City’s New American Backyard branding. The Commission voted unanimously to request pricing on shamrock sculptures and unpainted wood lawn chairs. At its July 11, 2019 meeting, the Commission voted of 4-1 to recommend moving forward with 20 Adirondack-style wooden lawn chairs to represent the "New American Backyard" theme as the item for the temporary art program featuring multiple treatments by different artists. Temporary Art Display Period: The temporary art pieces could be displayed during a major City special event such as Splatter Festival in September 2020 or City’s St. Patrick’s Day Festival and moved to local businesses after the event for a period before auctioning them off. Artists: An open call would be made to artists to decorate the Adirondack-style wooden lawn chairs for the temporary art program, like that of the electrical box program, which currently has a $1,000 artist stipend. The artist stipend can be established and paid for from the Public Art fund with revenue for the program eventually recouped after sale of the chairs. At this time, Staff would not recommend seeking sponsorships for the temporary art program, due to the chair’s eventual resale. Additionally, a number of sponsorship opportunities are available for several other events and activities in the department. Staff request that the Commission recommend an art display time period, location and stipend for City Council approval. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: N/A ATTACHMENTS: 1.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recommend the public artwork proposed by Saori Ide and Jonathan Ru ssell from Ride Art Studio for City Council approval. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The adopted Capital Improvement Project budget for Sean Diamond Park Art is $42,000. This will include the artist's fee as well as all design, materials, fabrication, and installation costs. The funding source is the Public Art Fund. DESCRIPTION: Sean Diamond Park (4801 La Strada Drive) is a neighborhood park sitting adjacent to Jose Maria Amador Elementary School. The park was dedicated on April 28, 2018. Amenities include Dublin’s first zipline, playground area; a tennis court; a grass volleyball court; a group picnic area with tables and barbecues; an open space meadow for informal sports, games, and activities; park benches; and restrooms. The artwork will be installed in the center of the park in the open circular area as shown in the attached photographs (Attachment 1). This circular area has a diameter of 22 feet. In May 2019, an art committee consisting of Kathy Blackburn, Michelle Smith - McDonald, Shweta Agrawal, Tejas Peesapati, and Hana Xu reviewed portfolios of six artists, including some prequalified and some invitational. They requested four artists submit site specific designs. 7.1 Packet Pg. 19 Page 2 of 3 In June 2019, the committee reconvened with Gina Gabrielle, Shweta Agrawal, and Hana Xu present to hear design proposals from four artists (or artist teams). Artists were Adan Romo, Colin Selig, Saori Ide & Jonathan Russell from Ride Arts Studio, and Yoshio Taylor. Committee members were invited to personally rank the four submissions, on a scale with one being their first choice and four being their last choice. In the initial ranking vote, artist team Saori Ide & Jonathan Russel had two first place votes and Yoshio Taylor was a close second. After some discussion on the merits of each design, the committee recommended Saori Ide and Jonathan Russell as the first choice but also wanted to recommend Yoshio Taylor as a possible alternate choice. Saori Ide and Jonathan Russell’s design named DIAMOND is an 18’ high kinetic wind sculpture made of stainless steel. This large sculpture features two diamond shapes, one nestled inside of the other, that move with the wind in opposite directions. The base of the sculpture is a four-sided tapered column with green diamond shaped folded leaves around the top of the base, which are designed to cast shadow patterns on the ground as the sun shines through them. (Attachment 2). Yoshio Taylor’s design for Sean Diamond Park is being recommended as an alternate option by the art selection committee. Yoshio Taylor’s proposal will use a combination of bronze, steel, concrete, and hand-made-terra-cotta relief tiles. The sculpture will stand at approximately 12 feet tall and a four-foot-wide concrete base. At the top of the sculpture will be four bronze paper planes welded to the spiral and a curved stainless- steel loop form. The base will have several laser -cut clover designs. At the base of the sculpture will be the terra-cotta relief tiles with images of the region’s wildlife, plants, and names that have historical significance to Dublin. (Attachment 3). One member of the Art Selection committee had concerns about Saori Ide and Jonathan Russell’s piece's bright color and problematic feng shui. The diamond shape has a point at the top and points at the midsection which, in Asian cultures, is considered to represent a knife and therefore attract bad luck. Problematic feng shui can be mitigated through design, so it was suggested that the artist be informed of the concern and asked to mitigate. The Committee member also indicated that the points might not be offensive when the piece is in motion; it was suggested the artist provide an animated rendering to show the piece in motion. As is Dublin’s practice, the proposals were reviewed by the City’s contract con servator and City staff. The artwork from Saori Ide and Jonathan Russell from Ride Art Studio is expected to be successful upon installation. The cost of the maintenance is expected to be higher than normal due to the height and kinetic elements of the art work. The conservator recommends a structural review and wind study of the area to design the footing. 7.1 Packet Pg. 20 Page 3 of 3 The artwork from Yoshio Taylor is also expected to be successful upon installation. The artwork should be durable and low maintenance. The conservator recommends a moisture barrier under the concrete pad and a review of the sculpture’s height, along with a stockpile of extra terra-cotta tiles. (Attachment 4). Staff recommend Saori Ide and Jonathan Russell from Ride Art Studio’s design as public art for the Sean Diamond Neighborhood Park. Their art proposal works within the context and theme of the park, the work has permanence and will hold up well over a long period of time and will be safe for public display.

Ride Art Studio - Resume and Sean Diamond Park Proposal (Sean Diamond Park Art Selection) DIAMOND: KINETIC WIND SCULPTURE for Sean Diamond Park - Dublin, CA BY SAORI IDE AND JONATHAN RUSSELL NARRATIVE / CONCEPT: We’re very pleased to submit our proposal for Sean Diamond Park. We recently visited and were struck by how beautifully designed it is, with such great park amenities. When we approached the proposed site, we noticed the open space and felt an enormous connection to both the sky and the earth. We also loved the flowers that were all around the park and especially around the sculpture site. We’d like to create an artwork that enhances this setting and invites people, young and old, to enjoy this beautiful outdoor setting. DIAMOND is an 18’ high kinetic wind sculpture made of stainless steel. This large iconic sculpture features two diamond shapes, one nestled inside of the other, that move with the wind in opposite directions. This colorful artwork, visible from a distance, will welcome residents and visitors to Sean Diamond Park. It can be enjoyed from multiple vantage points, such as a view while sitting on a nearby bench or when walking around and even when looking directly upward. Every view will present a different mosaic and pattern of intertwining lines. The base of the sculpture is a four-sided tapered column that reflects the idea of a half diamond. The green diamond shaped folded leaves around the top of the base represent individual community members coming together to embrace and support each other. As the sun shines through them, they cast beautiful patterns on the ground. The tree like form of our sculpture signifies growth and resilience as it stands firmly rooted in the ground and reaches upwards. The flower like diamond shapes represent both seeds and blossoms; celebrating the accomplishments of this community. 7.1.b Packet Pg. 28 Attachment: 2. Ride Art Studio - Resume and Sean Diamond Park Proposal (Sean Diamond Park Art Selection) We have made many large wind sculptures in the past. Utilizing wind derived movement has become an important visual tool for establishing a unique presence for our sculptures. Elements set in motion by the wind give a moment of delightful surprise and heightened effect. It creates an instant bonding with viewers and stimulates what we like to think of as a nonverbal conversation. Diamonds in many cultures signify purity, clarity and wisdom. Native Americans considered diamonds to be signatures of the butterfly, which they often identified as a sign of immortality. Butterflies live in migratory patterns, traveling hundreds of miles to return to their homes. Along with immortality and being true to oneself, the diamond symbolism conveys messages of rebirth, revival, and transformation. With these ideas in mind, we pay homage to Army Staff Sergeant Sean Diamond for his service and the sacrifices he made for his family and community. People will remember him as they come and enjoy the park and our perpetually moving sculpture. It will truly be, for one and all, the “Diamond Park.” MATERIALS: UPPER SCULPTURE - Outer diamond: Powdercoated stainless steel in orange - Inner diamond: Powdercoated in stainless steel in blue - Diamond leaves: Powdercaoted stainless steel in green LOWER SCULPTURE - Orbital sanded stainless steel BEARINGS: Ceramic hybrid radial bearings DIMENSIONS: OVERALL DIMENSIONS: 18’ high x 9’6” diameter BASE OF THE SCULPTURE: 18” square at the bottom and 8” square at the top DIAMOND SHAPE: 8’ high x 6’6” diameter 7.1.b Packet Pg. 29 Attachment: 2.

Using a small crane or articulating forklift, these pieces will be lifted into place and secured to a previously installed footing. Estimated installation time: 6 hours MAINTENANCE: This sculpture will require minimal maintenance. At the cities discretion, the powdercoated moving elements can be cleaned once a year with soap and water. The stainless steel base can be cleaned with Walter X-Force Universal Cleaner. In case of graffiti markings, this can easily be removed by orbital sanding with 100 grit pads. PUBLIC INTERACTION / SAFETY MEASURES: The public is encouraged to walk around and under the sculpture. We have raised the moving elements high above the ground in order to avoid issues of safety and vandalism.

Art Conservator Evaluation (Sean Diamond Park Art Selection) Conservation Assessment of Proposed Sculpture By Saori Ide and Jonathan russell for Sean Diamond Park, Dublin     Assessment of Dierent Elements and Maintenance Issues:  Choice of Metals:  e proposed design of this sculpture is primarily of stainless steel. e artists suest that the column will be four sided and  taper to the top, and the bearing housings and upper kinetic elements will also be stainless. e consistency of material  throughout is good and should prevent any galvanic corrosion issues arising.     It is recommended that a higher grade of stainless steel such as 316 or 316L is used to ensure long term stability, and it is  advised for the surface to be passivated. is is important for the column since a circular grinding pattern is being proposed.  In general, the more rough the surface of the steel, the more crevices exist for corrosion to form and a circular pattern is  generally the most dicult to maintain. e use of 316 or 316L will help with minimizing corrosion formation and all welds  should be ground as smooth as possible.     Fasteners and Welding:   e welding rod and any fasteners should be matched to the exact grade of metal to prevent galvanic corrosion.     Kinetic Elements  e upper part of the sculpture is formed of two interlocking stainless steel diamond cut outs. ese will spin in opposite  directions via a bearing system. e proposed bearings are ceramic hybrid radial bearings which should last a long time in the  outdoor environment. It is recommended for the City to have the artists provide the exact specications for the archives,  recommended lubricant and maintenance protocol, and provide an extra set of bearings for replacement.     Structural Review  One of the failings of tall kinetic sculptures such as this is that their velocity can destabilize the bolts that attach it to the  ground. It is therefore essential to have a structural engineer who is experienced with kinetic artworks undertake a wind  study of the location and provide stamped and guaranteed drawings for the installation. We have seen kinetic sculptures that  were structurally designed deinstalled within a relatively short period of time because they pull the bolts out of the footing,  are loud and begin to frighten the public if they spin too fast appearing dangerous.    Powder Coating:  Although powder coating is inexpensive, conservators usually do not recommend powder coating as a paint system since it  tends to chalk out (fade) and fail uicker than high performance liuid coatings. A high performance liuid coating with  appropriate primer will retain its color, be more durable and be easier to inpaint losses and undertake repairs if necessary.   All liuid coatings should be applied to the specied manufacturers thickness to be eective and dry lm thicknesses should  be measured and noted in the archives in addition to the exact paint system. It is also recommended for the collection to  reuest sprayed out metal coupons of the colors to keep in the archives so that fading of the colors can be monitored.     Ability to Maintain the Sculpture:  All kinetic sculptures must be designed with a mechanism to stop the parts from moving, otherwise the artwork cannot safely  be maintained and cleaned. e height of the sculpture will reuire a boom or scaold to maintain. It is therefore important  to ensure that the pathways and access around the sculpture can accommodate this size of euipment.     e green diamond shapes may cause an issue with reaching the upper interior elements of the sculpture if they protrude out  too far. e artist should consider this in the nal design to allow access for cleaning all surfaces.         Preservation-Arts.com Page 4 of 5  7.1.d Packet Pg. 46 Attachment: 4. Art Conservator Evaluation (Sean Diamond Park Art Selection) Conservation Assessment of Proposed Sculpture By Saori Ide and Jonathan russell for Sean Diamond Park, Dublin     Landscaping:  All landscape should be drip system and no sprinklers should be used in the vicinity. Recycled water tends to contain  chlorides that can cause ferrous corrosion uickly to form on stainless steel, and also mineral deposits that deposit insoluble  white salts on the surface.     Recommendations:   ●Careful structural review and wind study of the area to design footings.   ●Design of access ways to enable a boom to be driven up to the sculpture.   ●Careful photo documentation of the bearing mechanism and detailed guidelines for changing out and lubricating  the bearings.   ●Stockpiling a set of spare bearings and correct lubricant.   ●e recommended minimum grade of stainless steel for fabrication is 316. e same for weld rod and fasteners.   ●e use of a high performance liuid coating rather than a powder coat system.     Maintenance Budget:  Estimated Basic Annual Maintenance:    Team of 3 people for one 8 hour day, with documentation, materials and travel:  Conservator- 9 hours x $120=$1,080  Conservator- 9 hours x $120=$1,080  Technician- 9 hours x $95=$855   Documentation: $120  Boom Rental and pick-up and Delivery: $1,200  Travel: $60  Total : $4,395    *Major repairs will be assessed as they arise and are separate to this. .    Conclusions:   is sculpture is likely to be a successful installation if the structural review is suciently thorough and the recommendations  above are followed. It will reuire annual maintenance to keep the sculpture in good order, although maintenance costs will be  higher than normal because of the necessity for a boom.     Preservation-Arts.com Page 5 of 5  7.1.d Packet Pg. 47 Attachment: 4.

Art Conservator Evaluation (Sean Diamond Park Art Selection) Conservation Assessment of Proposed Sculpture By Yoshio Taylor for Sean Diamond Park, Dublin     Materials:  e following are presented as materials for the sculpture:   Bronze (Planes and Main Spiral)  Stainless Steel (Curving Spiral Rod to Support the Aeroplanes)  Welded Steel (Base Support-Laser Cut with Painted Interior Edges  Concrete (Base)  Hand-Made Relief Terracotta Tiles (Upper Surface of Concrete Base and Inset into Vertical Sides of Base)    Assessment of Dierent Elements and Maintenance Issues:  Choice of Metals:  is proposed sculpture combines a number of dierent metals that will be interaction with each other. Although most of the  year this will probably be ne so long as no landscaping water can reach the metal, the issue will be in the winter when rains  begin with the rainwater creating a galvanic reaction which will preferentially corrode the most anodic or reactive metal. e  galvanic table is a useful guide when combining metals and showing possible corrosion reactions. Here are a few guidelines for  fabrication to avoid preferential corrosion of the sculpture:     ●Stainless steel should be of a higher grade such as 316 or 316L and it is advised for the surface to be passivated and  electropolished. e smoother the surface is polished, the less likely corrosion will form on the surfaces. Mirror  nishes always perform better than textured ones on stainless steel.   ●Silicon Bronze should be patinated and waxed prior to installation, and will reuire annual maintenance to preserve  the intended patina color.   ●Correct choice of welding rod between dissimilar materials is crucial to long term stability, and it should be matched  to the most cathodic or stable of the two metals to be joined.   ●In all other cases where the same metal is being welded, the rod should match the exact grade of metal for best  performance.   ●Fasteners should also be matched to the most cathodic material to prevent corrosion and failure.   ●e weathering steel base will reuire good drainage around the bottom to prevent pooling which leads to spalling  and thinning of the metal.   ●e weathering steel will also create rust ‘run o’ during cleaning and periods of rain, and so to prevent unsightly  staining of the concrete, it is recommended to use a terracotta colored or a darker grout color and completely tile the  sides of the concrete base.     Aeroplanes: ere is a uestion of whether the artist is going to choose powder coated steel or bronze for the aeroplane  elements of the sculpture. A paint system will galvanically protect a mild steel although usually conservators do not  recommend powder coating as a paint system since it tends to chalk out and fail uicker than high performance liuid  coatings and the sculpture will need deinstallation for repainting. It may be a better choice in terms of long term preservation  and maintenance to choose bronze for the planes, and for the artist to explore the range of available patinas, since the  sculpture should be on an annual maintenance anyway.     Tiling Installation:  is artist is primarily known for his ceramics and public art installations using ceramic tiles. It is therefore anticipated that  the tiles themselves will be well formed and installed correctly. Preservation Arts Director Rowan Geiger has been in contact  with the artist about another proposed tile installation in the City of Dublin and obtained the artists’ preferred materials for  the terracotta tiles.       Preservation-Arts.com Page 4 of 7  7.1.d Packet Pg. 51 Attachment: 4. Art Conservator Evaluation (Sean Diamond Park Art Selection) Conservation Assessment of Proposed Sculpture By Yoshio Taylor for Sean Diamond Park, Dublin       1.in Set Mortar  e rst stage of installation is application of a thin set mortar. e artist is proposing to use Versabond fortied thin-set  mortar by Custom Building Products. is product is a professional formula, all-purpose mortar, polymer-modied to  provide good bond strength for oor and tile projects. VersaBond® cures uickly even in cold climates and adheres to most  surfaces, exceeding ANSI A118.4 and A118.11 without the need for additives. It is suitable for the California temperatures and  is a dry, proprietary blend of Portland cement, copolymers, inorganic aregates and chemicals.     is is a commonly used thin set mortar used by artists for outdoor tile installations and will be suitable if the moisture  barrier recommendations are taken, and the manufacturer’s specications are followed.     2. Grout  e artist has suested using Custom Building Products, poly blend, DeLorean gray sanded grout #165.  Polyblend® Sanded Grout is a dry, Portland cement based grout with silica sand, inorganic aregates and chemicals.   It has passed a number of Applicable Standards American National Standards Institute (ANSI) ANSI A108.10 & A118.6 of the  American National Standards for the Installation of Ceramic Tile ASTM International (ASTM) ASTM C109 Standard Test  Method for Compressive Strength of Hydraulic Cement Mortars (Using 2-in. or (50-mm) Cube Specimens) ASTM C531  Standard Test Method for Linear Shrinkage ASTM C580 Standard Test method for Flexural Strength ISO 13007-3 Approvals  Polyblend® Sanded Grout exceeds ANSI A118.6 standards.  Installation must conform to ANSI A108.10.    e dierence between a sanded grout and a non-sanded grout is thickness of the grout line and type of tile since sanded  grout is more likely to scratch a highly polished tile surface during appliction. Non-sanded grout is only suitable for a grout  line of up to ⅛” thick, so the sanded option may be a good choice based on the likely variation in size of grout lines from  handmade terracotta relief tiles.     3. Sealer  e artist is recommending Tile lab grout and tile sealer, by Custom Building Products. I could not nd this product, but the  company recommends a water based uoropolymer called Aua Mix® Sealer’s Choice® Gold to be used with the other two  products listed above. is is the most protective of their sealants and works by reducing the porosity of the grout to reduce  staining. Fluoropolymers are one of the most high performance coatings currently available in the liuid coatings industry,  and it can be reapplied in the future.     4. Warranties  Warranties are always worth obtaining if available and Custom Building Products do provide a limited one year warranty for  their products to the original owner. For commercial installations, longer warranties including lifetime warranties, can be  obtained so long as the system is all Custom Building Products, and it is pre-approved by the company and recommended  manufacturing specications are followed. e phone number to call is 1 800 272 8786.    5. Skilled Installers  e artist may be undertaking the tiling himself. Commercial warranties do not necessarily reuire the use of a certied tile  contractors, 5 star NTCA contractor or members of the National Tile Contractors Association, but the artist will have to  meet all the reuired building codes and TCNA guidelines.         Preservation-Arts.com Page 5 of 7  7.1.d Packet Pg. 52 Attachment: 4. Art Conservator Evaluation (Sean Diamond Park Art Selection) Conservation Assessment of Proposed Sculpture By Yoshio Taylor for Sean Diamond Park, Dublin     Other Considerations:  Concrete Substrate:  e base is formed from cast concrete, presumably with an iron armature. Although separated from the landscaping on the  park design by a path, any landscaping should be drip system rather than sprinklers to prevent water hitting the concrete.   Constant moisture against concrete can lead to a number of issues such as salt formation/eorescence on the concrete and  mortar that appears as white insoluble crystals and blanching of the color on tiles. Chloride ions in recycled water can also  lead to rusting of the iron rebar armature within the concrete, that expands the metal leading to cracks and ultimately losses  of concrete and tile.     e City can help by minimizing risks and long term maintenance costs by taking some precautions during the casting and  installation process:    ●Installing a vapor barrier underneath the slab during casting  ●Ensuring adeuate area of hard landscaping around the sculpture base to act as a barrier layer to moisture  ●Installing a drip system so that no sprinkler water comes into contact with the artworks  ●Applying a coating to the concrete before the mortar is applied. is should be compatible with the mortar used by  the artist. Since the artist is planning to use a Custom Building Products system, the same company should  recommend a sealer. e company currently recommends RedGard® Waterproong and Crack Prevention  Membrane.     Stockpiling Tiles:   Although tiled artworks are generally one of the most stable types of public art installations, one of the problems for long  term preservation is the availability of replacement tiles. Manufacturers oen change the range of colors of a particular line or  designs are phased out. Because of this, it is recommended for the City to reuest a stockpile of replacement tiles for repairs  over time. Edges tend to be the rst area where losses form, and so having a selection of tiles to choose from will extend the  life of the artwork and maintain the artist’s vision for the longest possible time. e artist could also consider how to provide  a sacricial edge that can easily be replaced of damage occurs.     Skate Boarders:   Skateboarders can be very attracted to grinding along the edges of curved walls, and can cause huge and freuent damage to  artworks, that results in loss and breakage of the tiles along the edges. e City and artist should consider this possibility and  develop a strategy to address/minimize potential issues and maintenance problems.     Documentation:   As damage and losses occur to the artwork over time, it is helpful to have a full detailed photographic record of the decorative  scheme in the archives to refer to. is can be undertaken by the conservators shortly aer installation.     Height of the Sculpture:   e current design of the sculpture places the lowest aeroplane element at 5 ½ feet above the base. If an adult stands on the  base, they will be able to hold and swing onto the stainless steel and lowest aeroplane uite easily. is may result in the or  damage to the aeroplane. Although this may not happen, it seems a good idea to have a couple of extra aeroplanes cast at the  time of fabrication to act as a stockpile for replacement. ese will be stored by the City. e other alternative is to redesign  with more height to the column to raise up the lower aeroplane. However, this should be carefully considered because  currently this artwork can be maintained from ladders. Above 12 feet, the use of larger euipment such as boom or scissorli  is necessary, resulting in more cost for maintenance and landscaping design that will accommodate access for a boom.     Preservation-Arts.com Page 6 of 7  7.1.d Packet Pg. 53 Attachment: 4. Art Conservator Evaluation (Sean Diamond Park Art Selection) Conservation Assessment of Proposed Sculpture By Yoshio Taylor for Sean Diamond Park, Dublin       Recommendations:   ●A moisture barrier beneath the concrete base will assist in long term preservation.   ●e height of the sculpture should be reviewed and if increased, the access for machinery reuires review by the  City.   ●Ensuring that no water is against the sculpture or base will lower risk of corrosion of concrete armature, and salt  formation on the tiles.   ●Careful attention to grades of metals used during fabrication and weld rods for dissimilar metals is vital to lower  long term costs.   ●e use of patinated bronze over powder coated aeroplane elements is recommended, and stockpiling two extra.   ●Obtaining warranties for the tiling products is recommended, and will ensure that the tiling is installed according to  manufacturer's specications.  ●Stockpiling tiles will ensure replacements are available in case losses occur.  ●Considering how to minimize damage from skateboards.  ●Documenting using detailed photography of the dierent sections will enable losses to be repaired accurately over  time, and ensure that the artistic vision is preserved.    Maintenance Budget:  Estimated Basic Annual Maintenance:    Team of 3 people for one day, with documentation, materials and travel:  Conservator- 9 hours x $120=$1,080  Conservator- 9 hours x $120=$1,080  Technician- 9 hours x $95=$855   Documentation: $120  Travel: $60  Total : $3,195      *Every year, it is anticipated that the costs may increase as losses occur. Major repairs will be separate to this.     Conclusions:   is sculpture is likely to be a successful installation and although it will reuire annual maintenance to keep the bronze in  good order and the intended color, maintenance should be minimal if the recommended guidelines are followed. e main  consideration is the height of the sculpture, which should be discussed with the collection, and potential damage to the edges  of the concrete.     Preservation-Arts.com Page 7 of 7  7.1.d Packet Pg. 54 Attachment: 4. Art Conservator Evaluation (Sean Diamond Park Art Selection) Page 1 of 3 STAFF REPORT HERITAGE & CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION DATE: August 8, 2019 TO: Honorable Chair and Commissioners FROM: Tegan McLane, Heritage & Cultural Arts Manager SUBJECT: Butterfly Knoll Park Art Selection Prepared by: Rich Jochner, Recreation Supervisor EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission will make a recommendation on public art for Butterfly Knoll Park. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recommend the public artwork proposed by Joey Rose for City Council approval. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The adopted Capital Improvement Project budget for the Butterfly Knoll Park Public Art (PK0118) is $17,560 with $13,060 slated for payment to the artist from the Public Art Fund. DESCRIPTION: Butterfly Knoll Park (Palisides Drive & Rosam und Hills) is a one-acre neighborhood park nestled against open space. The park has yet to be built. Amenities will include two playground areas (for ages 2-5 and 6 and up); group picnic areas with tables and barbecues; spaces for informal family picnics; an open space meadow for informal sports, games, and activities; trail access; butterfly-friendly flower garden, owl boxes and water fountains. Public art is intended for the proposed staircase façade and the side rails of the staircase leading from the park to the street above totaling 170 square feet. (Attachment 1) For this project, it was requested that the artist interact with the neighborhood residents, especially children. This could include a design which has built -in areas to incorporate images or words suggested by neighborhood residents; an opportunity for neighborhood residents to choose among images or colors proposed by the artist; a 7.2 Packet Pg. 55 Page 2 of 3 plan for involving residents in the installation process; or any other outreach activities proposed by the artist. In July 2019, an art selection committee consisting of Dublin residents Catheryn Grier, Steve Minniear, Michelle Smith-McDonald, Dayna Tutino and Sawsan Wolski heard design proposals from four artists who submitted as part of an open call. (Cathe ryn Grier’s alternate, Sawsan Wolski, participated as a voting member to bring the committee size to five people. Both members of one of the other primary-alternate pairs were absent.) Artists submitting proposals were Morgan Bricca, Suzanne Gayle, Juan L opez and Joey Rose. Committee members were invited to rank the four submissions, on a scale with one being their first choice and four being their last choice. In the initial ranking vote, the proposal from Joey Rose received three first place votes, with Morgan Bricca receiving the other two first place votes. After some discussion on the merits of each design, the committee recommended Joey Rose be selected as their choice. Walnut Creek-based muralist Joey Rose’s design is dedicated to native, Bay Area species of butterflies. The left wall is inspired by butterfly wings and the right wall is inspired by the butterfly’s corresponding caterpillar. If you walk a straight line from a caterpillar to a butterfly, the species will match. The paintings will wra p around the wall at the top of the stairs to be seen at street level. Each stair leading up to the street will be painted an individual color, enhancing the connection between the walls and creating an eye-catching gradient. (Attachments 2 & 3) Labeling or identifying each species (whether it be an interpretive sign or directly on the wall) will make this piece engaging and educational. The walls and steps will be primed and painted with high -quality, non-toxic exterior mural paint. According to the artist, this should ensure that the painting doesn’t fade for at least 15 years. Also, maintenance should require only an occasional wash ; however conservator will be contacted as needed. The community interaction component proposed by the artist is a public painting day. Participants will be encouraged to fill the shapes with background colors. Participants will receive seeds for native butterfly plants to grow in their own yard and one -of-a-kind custom butterfly stickers designed by the artist.
