FROM: Bryan Cook , City Manager 1 j} By: Brian Haworth , Asst. to the City Mgr. I Econ . Development Mgr.vY it\ SUBJECT: NEW PUBLIC ART MURAL AT TEMPLE CITY LIBRARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Council is requested to : a) Approve an artwork commission agreement with Arthur Mortimer for a new mural at Temple City Library (Attachment "A "); b) Appropriate $29,000 from the public art in -lieu fund for artwork commission and related costs, including mural installation and community involvement activities ; and c) Authorize the City Manager to develop and execute use agreements with the County of Los Angeles Public Library and Temple City Unified School District for mural installations . BACKGROUND: 1. In July 2011 , the City's former Public Arts Advisory Group (PAAG) unveiled a mural on the west exterior wall of Temple City Library . The artwork , which was guided by muralist Arthur Mortimer and pa inted by local high school students , depicts famous authors and celebrates the library's importance in the community. The piece was one of the City's first public art initiatives , and initially intended as the inaugural component of a potential rotating mural program . 2. On May 20 , 2014, Council approved the FY 2014-15 Pub l ic Arts Annual Plan , a Commission-recommended work plan (required by City ordinance) that procures new artworks and establishes long -term policies for a successful publ ic art program . Among the tasks identified for the current year was th e rev ival of a City Council January 20 , 2015 Page 2 of 4 rotating mural program by determining guidelines and objectives , as well as a defining project scope for future mural development. 3. On August 6 , 2014 , the Commission opened discussion on the mural initiative and voted unanimously to : (1) replace the library (or authors) mural with a new mural ; (2) relocate the library (or authors) mural to Temple City Unified School District headquarters ; and (3) develop scope and guidelines for a comprehensive mura l program . Pertaining to the former items , the Commission felt it timely to procure a new mural for purposes of awareness , aesthetic impact and community involvement. 4 . On September 3 , 2014 , the Commission moved to further consider a mural concept previously developed by the PAAG that features an illustrated ti meline of Temple City history. It was also recommended to move forward with the services of Arthur Mortimer, given his extensive experience in designing and coordinating community-executed mural projects . 5. On October 1, 2014, the Commission received a presentation from Mortimer on his portfolio and artistic process . Commission deliberations identified an artistic intent for the mural, i.e., exploration of unique community events or subject matters between the 1920s to present day . Commissioners also requested that Mortimer provide artistic composition alternatives in cont rast with his signature style of using framed photos and postcards . 6. On November 5 , 2014 , the Commission finalized its desired direction for the new mural , which include s a listi ng of possible themes for artist exploration . That direction-subsequently redlined for minor edits and approved by the Commission on December 3, 2014-is provided hereto as Attachment "B". ANALYSIS: Community murals are designed to enhance and hone identity for communities wishing to celebrate local heritage , build pride and attract visitors. Th e proposed mural initiative is anticipated to bring many benefits , including : • Bringing peop le together. Artist volunteers will paint the mural. As an organizing tool , the artwork can unite lo ca l ci ti zens and reinforce the idea that collective ly , people can come together and make their commu nity a better place . • Providin a meanin ful messag~. Not only will the mural be aesthetically beautiful , but is inte nded to educate , chal leng e and inspire. Its artistic components will be layered with meaning and speak to wide audie nces , with some messages literal , symbolic and abstract. City Council January 20 , 2015 Page 3 of 4 • Celebrating a multidimensional local history . The artwork will celebrate the community's history beyond written text. The artist's depiction of Temple City will deepen audience understanding of local history by integrating research , oral histories and photos . • Strengthening ties between City Hall and the artist community. Incorporating community involvement to the artwork builds further awareness of the Commission and Council 's desire to use art for the creative invigoration of public space . Furthermore, it provides a mechanism for City Hall to connect with local artists , and for the Commission to connect the community with art. Muralist Arthur Mortimer was selected by the Commission to spearhead the effort given his extensive portfolio of over 100 commissioned murals , as well as his successful 2011 coordination of the community-executed (authors) mural at Temple City Library. Should Council approve the artwork contract and its associated funding request, staff will coordinate the following implementation activities. New Mural As specified in the contract's scope of work, Mortimer will research , design and produce at least two preliminary artwork concepts using the Commission-approved reference sheet (or Attachment "B") as basis . The Commission will review these concepts and provide recommendation of a final concept for Counci l approval. Upon reviews of the final design concept, Mortimer will design and layout the actual mural over a one-week period at a City-provided facility . This will lead up to a "Mural in a Weekend " event in June , wherein artist volunteers will paint the mural. The Commission will play a role in the event's planning and operations . Specifically , it will coordinate with staff to publicize and select up to 20 volunteer artists , as well as assist in planning and overseeing event logistics . Concluding the event and artwork installation by the City, Mortimer will apply finishing touches to the artwork . The artist and City staff will close out the project with a memorandum that identifies maintenance techniques and materials to protect the mural for a 1 0-year period . Mural Relocation Pursuant to Commission recommendation , the existing (authors) mural at Temple City Library will be moved to the west-facing wall of Temple City Unified School District headquarters . The location , already approved by the district superintendent, provides high visibil ity and appropriate placement as Temple City High School students painted the mural. City Council January 20 , 2015 Page 4 of 4 New mural installation at the library , and relocation and installation of the current mural to District headquarters, will be performed by a private contractor and managed by City staff. Attachment "C" provides a projected cost detail. More i nformation is provided in the Fisca l Analysis section of this report. Finally , the insta llation and maintenance of both murals on non-City properties will require staff to draft and execute a l icense or easement agreement with the Library and District. Among other things , the contract will stipulate City responsibilities to install and maintain the artwork, as well as indemnify the Library and District from any financial and leg al liab ilit ies . CONCLUSION: Council approval of the recommended actions accomplishes a task identified in the FY 2014-15 Public Arts Annua l Plan , i.e ., a new mural at Temple City Library . The mural 's execution is anticipated to bring many benefits , includi ng providing an artist ic and aesthetic dimension to local history, and forg i ng relations w ith volunteer artists in the local arts community . FISCAL IMPACT: The FY 2014-15 adopted City Budget does not inc l ude a project appropriation . An estimated project cost detail is provided as Attachment "C". Staff is recommendi ng a $29,000 allocation from the Linden Walk public art in-lieu fund to cover project costs . The revenue source currently has a balance of $46 ,621 ; revenues are expected to reach $150 ,000 by 2016 . Should Council approve the requested allocation , any unspent mon ies w ill be returned to the fund for future publ ic art initiatives. ATTACHMENTS: A. Artwork Commission Agreement B .
