This item comes as a recommendation of the Ad -Hoc Committee. At the July 15, 2013 meeting, members of the City Council expressed interest in exploring opportunities for public art specifically, art on utility cabinets. To further study this issue the Mayor established a Public Art Ad -Hoc Committee consisting of Councilman Benavides, Councilman Reyna and himself to review opportunities for public art in Santa Ana. On September 5, 2013, the Ad -Hoc Committee met to discuss opportunities for a pilot effort to use the City's traffic control cabinets as canvases for local artists, students and other community groups. Best practices were compiled regarding utility box painting in other cities throughout California to provide options for implementing a pilot program in Santa Ana. These options were provided to the Ad -Hoc Committee at a follow -up meeting on October 2, 2013 (Exhibits 1 — 6). The Ad -Hoc Committee proposes a two -phase pilot Utility Box Art Program. The first phase will be focused on painting seven selected utility cabinets located within the downtown. The second phase of the pilot program will be to select seven utility cabinets citywide, one in each Council ward to be selected by each respective Councilmember and an at -large location to be selected by the Mayor. To ensure a broad interest from the arts community and a high - quality, professional submittal on the downtown utility boxes, the Ad -Hoc Committee proposed to award a stipend of $700 per utility cabinet as well as reimbursement of up to $200 for materials and supplies. The artists selected to paint the seven utility cabinets citywide will be reimbursed up to $200 for materials 25E -1 Utility Cabinet Art Pilot Program November 4, 2013 Page 2 and supplies but would not be offered a stipend. The intent is to focus the citywide program on volunteers, students and community groups, ideally under the mentorship /guidance of a professional artist. It is recommended that a selection committee be established consisting of representatives from the local arts community and downtown merchants to review the submittals and select artists based on established criteria such as appropriateness of scale, form and content, as well as artistic excellence and the artists experience working on comparable projects. The selection committee is recommended to include: - (1) Member of the Santa Ana Business Council - (1) Member of Downtown Inc. - (1) Member of the United Artists of Santa Ana - (1) Member of the Grand Central Arts Center - (1) Member of the Santa Ana Arts Council - (1) Member of the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art - (1) Member of The Grain Project The Ad -Hoc Committee proposes that the first phase of the pilot program, which will comprise of the seven utility cabinets in the downtown, be completed by December, 2013. The second phase of the pilot project, where seven additional cabinets located citywide would become the canvases for students, volunteers or other budding artists would begin in January, 2014. FISCAL IMPACT This pilot program focuses on a total of 14 utility cabinets citywide with the seven located downtown representing a cost of $6,300 and seven citywide representing a cost of $1,400 for a total cost of $7,700. Funding for this project will be allocated from the City Manager's Contractual Services account (no. 01103010-62300). 4� M.

Agenda (rem Approvals: City ManillK AGENDA REPORT Dept. Head , SAN CLEMENTE CITY COUNCIL MEETNG Meeting Date: September b, 2011 Department: Community Development Prepared By: James Holloway, Community Development Director Jeff Hook, Senior Planner Alison Simpkins, Planning Intern Subject: UTLLITYBoxPUBLICART- PROPOSAL FORA PILOT PROGRAM TV SAN CLEXIENTE. Summary: The Mayor became aware that many California cities have adopted programs to transform utility boxes along sidewalks and street corridors into works of art. These programs beautify the public right-of-way, enhance community pride and raise awareness of public art among citizens and visitors. In addition, these programs are an opportunity for local artists to gain visibility. The City's General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) has discussed the possibility of recommending a public art program as part of the General Plan update; and, the San Clemente Art Association has submitted a letter offering to partner with the City to develop and implement a "Utility Box Public Art" pilot program, as described in Attachment 1. The following information is provided so that Council may consider implementing a Pilot "Utility Box" public art program. Staff surveyed several cities to learn about their utility box public art programs, including San Luis Obispo, Oceanside, Las Vegas, NV, Ashland, OR, Wenatchee, WA, and others. These cities followed similar courses of action to carry out their programs. In general, utility box art programs are initiated by City Council in concept, with the support of the local art association. The process usually includes the following steps: 1. A "Call for Artists" is released a few months before a planned utility box painting event. The Call for Artists asks artists to submit a resume, a sample of past work, a mock -up design for the box, and a brief description of how the design reflects the theme. 1 Entries are typically reviewed by an Arts Council or jury of art professionals and community members. 3. The selected artist is asked to sign an agreement and liability waiver (examples included in Attachment 2). 4. Painting begins on a designated day and a Reception /Art Walk event is held either on that day or upon the completion of the art works. Also included in Attachment 2 are examples of the "Call for Artists" notices and other details that have been thought out and used by several cities. EXHIBIT 3 Community Development Agenda Repon 25E -9 Agenda Report Page 2 Cities differed, however, in their approach to funding the artwork. San Luis Obispo' program started with 16 utility boxes, paying artists 51500 each and reimbursing for a_ supplies up to $200, Las Vegas paid professional artists up to $2250. Ashland, Oregon paid seven community members $250 and reimbursed them for paint. Oceanside asked for amateur volunteers and bought the paint for them. Additional minor costs included: staff applied primer, graffiti -proof coating applied on the finished works, the City staff's time and supplies for the reception. Possible Utility Box Art Program for San Clemente Proposal: With assistance from the San Clemente Art Association (SCAR), staff developed a proposal for a pilot "Utility Box Public art" program. The program, as envisioned, would focus on beautifying five utility boxes at different locations along Avenida Pico and El Camino Real (see map of recommended sites, Attachment 3). The Design Review Subcommittee (DRSC) would establish design themes and basic guidelines. The San Clemente Art Association (SCAA) has offered to issue a Cali for Artists and to evaluate conceptual submissions based on visual appeal, relevance to the theme (nature /local history /surf culture, etc) and suitability of the location. The SCAR would then judge and select the winning concepts. Staff recommends that a City representative be included on the art jury panel, to help judge the artwork. Entries will then be reviewed by the Community Development Director for conformance with basic theme guidelines established by the DRSC. The artists will all begin painting - the same day. Upon completion of the artworks, the City and SCAA may coordinate a smu informal reception. Also, the SCAA will make a brochure about the program and artists to be made available to the public at various informational centers in Downtown San Clemente, at City Hail and other prominent locations. SCAA Involvement: The SCAR has offered to partner with the City of San Clemente on this project. Association representatives are willing to be responsible for the following: To help engage artists and community members, and to interview, and select artists /artworks. 2. To help set a timeline that will work well for both the SCAA and the City. 3. To convene ajury of artists and art professionals to judge submissions. 4. To coordinate with the City on writing and preparing a "Call for Artists ". 5. To advise the City on event logistics, to be approved by the City Manager and referenced by participants in the program (materials, minimum "canvas" size, artwork selection criteria, etc.) 6. To help publicize the program, both to attract participants and to invite community involvement in viewing the finished products and an artists' reception/festival, 25E -10 0.4 Agenda Report Page 3 Tentative Schedule: City Staff and SCAA agree that the best time to issue a Call for Artists would be in early to mid- February 2012, with the painting to take place in late April 2012. In the meantime, City staff would meet with the City's Design Review Subcommittee to establish themes and general guidelines for the artwork. Conclusion: For this pilot program to be successful, the quality of the artwork must be outstanding. To ensure that the quality of the artwork meets San Clemente's standards, it is recommended that each artist selected be awarded $1250 as an honorarium, plus reimbursement of up to $200 for materials. Research into other successful programs has shown that the caliber of the work is significantly higher when the compensation is within this range. Remuneration will also encourage professional artists to apply and ensure that the jury has several high - quality entries from which to choose. Finally, $1250 is an educated guess on cost of a fairly modest community reception for the artists and artwork, including publicity, food and beverages; a $1000 contingency is to cover estimated expenses of utility box cleaning and prepping with primer, vandal - resistant coating of utility boxes, and site clean -up. coninrended ,;lion: STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT the City Council: 1. Accept the SCAA's offer to partner with the City in developing a pilot program for "Utility Box Public Art" and authorize the City Manager to work with the SCAA and other community groups to publicize the pilot program. 2. Approve the Utility Box Public Art Pilot Program in concept, with program details to be prepared by staff, and approved by the City Manager, in cooperation with die SCAA. 3. Determine if a City Councilntember, appointed Commission/Committee member, or Staff should serve on the alt jury. 4.
