Description
City of Palm Springs Public Arts Commission meeting, held July 21st, 2021
A
So
welcome
everybody.
We
have
a
little
bit
of
a
different
meeting
because
we
have
to
have
our
elections
right
away
so
bear
with
us.
Our
other
meetings
will
definitely
be
different
than
this.
So.
A
So
I
will
call
to
order
the
public
meeting
of
the
palm
springs
public
arts
commission
for
wednesday
july
21st
and
can
jay?
Can
you
call
the
roll.
B
A
A
Awesome
so
can
we
have
a
motion
to
accept
the
agenda
minus
item
e
which
we'll
have
at
the
next
meeting?
So
if
we
can
have
someone
first
and
second,
the
acceptance
of
our
agenda
minus
item
e.
D
A
So
now
is
the
time
for
our
public
public
comments.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
public
arts,
commission
and
items
of
general
interest
within
the
subject
matter:
jurisdiction,
jurisdiction
of
the
commission
and
agenda
items.
If
the
member
of
the
public
cannot
be
present
later
in
the
meeting
at
the
time.
The
item
is
heard
by
the
commission.
A
Additionally,
members
of
the
public
may
address
the
commission
on
each
item
listed
on
the
posted
agenda
at
the
time.
Each
item
is
heard.
Although
the
public
arts
commission
values
your
comments
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
it
can
generally
not
take
any
action
on
items
not
listed
on
the
post
agenda.
Five
minutes
are
assigned
to
each
speaker.
B
E
I
am
just
just
connecting
here:
do
I
need
to
introduce.
A
Myself,
yeah,
why
don't
you
just
introduce
yourself
to
the
new
commission.
E
A
Thank
you
so
much
dude,
so
I
think
we
will
turn
it
over
to
monique.
B
And
just
for
clarification
chair,
the
minutes
are
not
available,
which
is
why
we're
skipping
item
e.
B
A
B
Those
are
in
various
stages
of
completion.
You
may
recall
we
had
a
temp
helping
out
with
the
minutes
for
a
period
of
time
and
there
are
others
that
still
need
to
be
created
and
posted
to
the
website.
So
some
of
those
just
are
not
posted
on
a
website,
and
so
when
we
have
a
good
span
of
time
to
focus
on
that
I'll
get
right
on.
F
So
we'll
begin
by
soliciting
nominations
for
chair
and
any
member
can
make
that
nomination.
There's
no
need
for
a
second
once
a
nomination
is
made
I'll
go
ahead
and
ask
for
unanimous
consent
by
asking
everyone
to
say
I
and
then
we'll
move
on
and
do
the
same
process
for
the
vice
chair
and
then
once
both
of
those
are
complete.
F
We'll
take
a
motion
to
accept
the
election
of
both
parties.
I'll
need
a
second
for
that
and
then
we'll
take
a
roll
call
vote.
Okay,.
F
F
B
I
think
that's
me
taking
the
roll
call
vote,
starting
with
commissioner
demiani.
D
I
G
B
Agree,
commissioner,
phill.
E
C
B
And
cheer
merrigan.
A
A
So
can
we
go
on
to
g
jay?
Yes,
so
welcome
I'm
going
to
ask
russell
if
he
will
welcome
you
too.
We
wanted
to
get
to
know
you
guys
before
you
had
to
vote
for
us,
but
this
is
the
way
we
had
to
do
it
with
the
city.
So
we
thank
you
for
your
your
support,
so
we
will
make
sure
we
earn
it
and
that
you
guys
enjoy
it.
So
one
thing
that
we've
talked
about
over
the
past
few
months
is
wanting
to
have.
A
You
know
start
with
our
new
commissioners
because
we're
so
excited.
We
have
four
new
commissioners
and
we
hope
we
we
don't
scare
you
away,
but
we
want
to
really
start
and
continue
a
commission
more
of
consensus,
so
to
really
improve
communication
and
to
really
acknowledge
and
seek
out.
You
know
all
of
the
commissioner's
value
and
opinions.
That's
why
you
are
on
the
commission
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
feel
that
you're
part
of
it
and
that
you're
making
an
impact,
and
we
just
thank
you
for
volunteering.
A
I
know
we're
really
active
and
want
to
you
know:
we've
really
worked
over
the
past
three
years.
At
bringing
notice
to
palm
springs,
public
art
and
celebrating
our
past
and
thinking
about
our
future,
so
part
of
that
with
our
30th
anniversary,
because
of
covid,
we
kind
of
in
a
way
we
couldn't
move
on
to
the
final
piece
of
our
30th
anniversary
was
really
thinking
about
the
next
30
years.
You
know
that
was
part
of
the
brief.
A
You
know
asking
the
community
what
they
were
interested,
and
so
maybe
that's
something
we
can
think
about
this
year
is
strategizing
over
that,
like
you
know
the
next
30
years
of
public
art
in
palm
springs
and
where
you
know,
we
think
it
should
go
where
the
community
thinks
it
should
go
now
that
we're,
hopefully
moving
somewhat
past
our
covid
lockdown
and
be
able
to
have
more
programming
with
the
community,
so
that
kind
of
ties
into
what
we're
going
to
do
with
the
special
session,
which
is
updating
our
talking
about
updating
our
ordinance,
the
mural
ordinance
and
the
public
arts
ordinance.
A
So
we
can
really
prepare
for
next
year
to
have
like
a
less
rocky
road
than
we
had
this
year.
So
I
know
you
know
we
have
advocates
for
that
and
we'll
make
our
life
a
lot
easier.
So
we
can
get
that
stuff
done
over
the
summer
and
then
be
prepared
for
the
fall
to
you
know
work
on
a
lot
of
new
projects.
C
C
A
So
with
that
we
are
moving
on
to
h.
So
we'd,
like
you
guys
to
introduce
yourselves,
have
the
opportunity
to
introduce
yourselves
to
us
and
to
the
community.
A
Oh
starting
with
how
about
gary
we'll
just
go
down
the
list
of
my
zoom
list,.
I
Hello,
gary
armstrong,
I've
been
in
palm
springs
full
time
for
seven
years.
Prior
to
that
I'd
lived
in
new
york
for
29
years.
I
went
to
parsons
for
fashion
illustration.
I
majored
in
false
illustration
and
minored
in
philosophy,
and
I
spent
my
career
in
the
magazine
industry.
I
my
most
recent
position
there.
I
I
was
a
chief
marketing
officer
of
winter
media,
which
was
rolling
stone
us
weekly
men's
journal,
and
I
was
responsible
there
for
all
branding
all
marketing
all
creative
services,
all
advertising,
all
digital
lpr,
all
brand
extensions,
including
the
15
international
editions
rolling
stone.
So
I
really
learned
how
to
brand
on
a
very
finite
budget.
I
While
I
was
at
rolling
stone,
I
was
an
executive
producer
for
a
show
on
mtv,
and
that
was
interesting
as
well
dealing
with
two
major
brands
reaching
the
same
target
audience
when
I
left
winner.
I
then
went
freelance
and
I
worked
at
adweek
and
new
republic
and
some
digital
websites.
Oh
and
prior
to
winter.
I
worked
at
conde,
nast
for
12
years
at
glamour
and
vanity,
fair
and
details
and
mademoiselle.
I
I
I
was
involved
with
the
thelonious
monk
institute
of
jazz
the
panama
jazz
festival,
and
now
I
spend
my
time
doing,
advising
jazz
musicians,
because
the
music
industry
has
never
been
more
powerful,
but
the
recording
industry
has
never
been
weaker
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
very
important,
very
serious,
very
accomplished
jazz
musicians
who
don't
know
how
to
brand
themselves
and
how
to
market
themselves
and
how
to
write
a
press
release
and
how
to
do
a
photo
shoot
and
how
to
design
an
album
cover.
I
So
I
help
them
do
that
and
I
always
say
to
people
when
I
talk
about
branding
everything
I
learned
about
branding
and
marketing,
I
learned
from
reading
the
little
prints
and
there's
a
quote
in
the
little
prince
that
I
still
talk
about
and
it's
you
become
responsible
forever
for
everything
you
have
tamed
and
I
think
that
branding,
and
particularly
with
palm
springs
and
with
with
public
art.
I
We
need
to
remember
that
with
everything
we
do,
how
have
we
tamed
the
person
watching
that
piece
of
art
how
we
tame
that
person
coming
to
palm
springs
and
we're
responsible
for
them
and
we're
responsible
for
ensuring
that
they
have
a
positive
experience
with
everything
they
see
and
everything
they
experience
when
they
come
here.
A
D
Hello,
I
will
be
brief,
but
I
actually
like
hearing
gary
talk
about
branding
and
marketing,
because
I
think
the
public
arts
commission
is
really
important
about
identifying
what
is
valuable
here
in
the
palm
springs
area,
and
we've
got
so.
We've
got
so
much
here
so
much
history
that
we
are
we're
not
starting
from
scratch.
I
mean,
with
with
the
background
in
our
just
native
land,
indian
tribes,
which
was
shown
at
the
entrance
to
palm
springs,
but
the
architecture-
that's
here
we've
got
so
much
history
to
work
with
it's
amazing.
D
For
my
own
self,
I
graduated
from
penn
state
I
moved
to
france.
I
lived
there
for
about
10
well
10
years.
Actually
I
work
with
marcel
marceau.
He
was
my
reason
for
going
there
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
he
was
a
world
famous
pantomime.
At
one
time
I
had
my
own
show
I
traveled
throughout
europe
I
choreographed
national
operas.
When
I
was
there.
D
D
So
that's
that's
it
for
me
and
I'm
very
happy
to
be
part
of
this,
because
I
love
the
arts
and
I
have
several
ideas
that
I
would
like
to
bring
to
the
committee.
The
commission.
H
H
The
public
arts
commission
has
really
done
amazing
work
to
make
this
very
special
unique
place
even
more
unique,
and
I
was
so
excited
to
see
that
there
was
an
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
that
after
leaving
palm
springs
at
18
years
old.
I
went
to
ucla
and
I
got
my
bachelor's
in
art
history
with
a
minor
in
music
history,
and
I
also
sang
in
many
choirs.
While
I
was
at
ucla,
I'm
a
singer
as
well.
Art
and
music
are
my
sort
of
dual
passions
after
graduating.
H
I
actually
co-founded
and
built
a
non-profit
company
which
was
a
children's
music
education
company.
You
can
look
it
up.
It's
called
the
national
children's
chorus
of
the
united
states,
it's
now
the
largest
professional
youth
chorus
in
america.
So
I
started
that
chorus
with
16
students
and
I
built
it
up
to
over
800.
H
that
took
10
years.
I
was
the
executive
director
and
the
executive
producer
for
the
organization,
so
I've
produced
probably
almost
200
major
events
all
over
the
world
at
places
like
carnegie
hall,
lincoln
center
walt
disney
concert
hall,
the
great
wall
of
china,
the
vatican
was
a
really
really
dynamic
fascinating
time
with
that
organization.
H
I
got
my
master's
degree
literally
three
weeks
before
kovid
shutdowns,
so
so
since
then,
I've
actually
been
working
at
sotheby's
institute
of
art,
which
is
a
new
york
company
and
it's
a
for-profit
arts,
education,
company,
so
kind
of
transitioning
from
the
non-profit
to
the
for-profit
world,
loving
being
steeped
in
the
contemporary
art
market
and
the
contemporary
art
world.
What
I
do
for
them
is
I
design
and
plan
classes
on
art
and
the
art
market
that
are
offered
for
sale
to
the
public
so
really
thrilled
to
be
here.
G
Yeah
hi
everyone,
barrett
newkirk,
I
have
lived
in
palm
springs
since
2013..
I
moved
here
to
write
for
the
desert
sun.
G
A
lot
of
people
know
me
or
know
my
name,
because
I
was
a
reporter
at
the
desert
sun
for
five
years
and
then
I
transitioned
out
of
that
career
three
years
ago,
and
I
now
work
for
a
non-profit
based
in
coachella
called
allianza,
coachella
valley,
and
one
of
the
reasons
I
made
that
change
is
because
I
really
wanted
to
be
more
active
on
the
inside
of
what
what's
going
on,
as
opposed
to
being
an
observer
and
seeing
what
was
going
on
from
the
outside.
G
So
I'm
really
thrilled
and
excited
to
be
part
of
the
arts
commission.
Now
I've
been
a
lifelong
lover
of
art
and
artists
and
museums.
G
The
art
history
classes
I
took
in
college
were
beyond
you
know
were
absolutely
my
favorites
and
let's
see
so
in
my
my
position
now
you
know
we're
a
small
organization,
so
I
do
a
little
I'm
the
communications
manager.
So
I
do
a
little
bit
of
everything:
the
branding,
the
marketing,
the
press,
relations.
I
manage
our
website
or
social
media.
G
I
do.
I
still
consider
myself
a
writer
and
a
bit
of
a
graphic
designer,
and
I
guess
my
goal
with
the
commission
is
you
know
I
think
the
the
group
has
done
a
lot
of
great
work
already
in
getting
art
to
different
parts
of
the
city.
I'm
really
interested
in
expanding
on
that,
and
I
know,
there's
work
already
begun
on
creating
an
online
database
and
a
resource
of
all
the
art
that
the
city
holds.
So
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
contributing
to
that
project
as
well,
so
very
happy
to
be
here.
A
Thank
you
all.
That
is
amazing.
I
heard
some
of
this
before
so
it's
so
great
to
have
everybody
be
able
to
get
an
introduction
from
you
guys,
so
I
really
appreciate
it.
I
don't.
C
C
Think
it's
totally
fair.
So
so,
just
very
briefly,
my
degree
is
in
journalism.
I
grew
up
in
canada.
I
specialized
in
advertising.
Public
relations
lived
in
new
york
city
for
10
years.
Worked
in
advertising,
then
moved
to
san
francisco
opened
my
own
interior
design,
retail
furniture
and
art
design,
business,
which
I
ran
for
25
years
with
six
store
locations
in
the
bay
area,
focusing
on
showcasing
our
local
artists
and
then
ran
for
for
seven
years.
A
E
E
I've
lived
in
the
coachella
valley
in
palm
springs
for
four
years,
where
I
am
on
a
number
of
neighborhood
boards
and
commission
desert
highland
gateway
station
action
committee,
as
well
as
the
health
and
wellness
committee,
the
black
history
committee
and
there's
one
more
committee,
I'm
forgetting
but
yeah,
I'm
active
in
the
north
end
and
getting
beautiful
art
and
projects
done
up
there,
as
well
as
the
rest
of
the
city,
and
I
am
also
the
one
that
has
started
the
traffic
box.
A
Thank
you
shonda,
so
I
guess
a
couple
of
things.
Some
of
the
things
that
you
guys
have
pointed
out,
we've
talked
about
performing
arts
is
not
part
of
our
ordinance
and
we've
always
wanted.
We,
a
number
of
us
have
always
thought
that
that
would
be
a
really
strong
addition
to
the
public
arts
family
of
palm
springs.
So
that's
something
to
keep
in
mind
when
we're
talking
about
updating
our
ordinance.
If
that
appeals
to
you
guys
my
background
is
I
I
can't
remember
how
long
I've
been
in
palm
springs.
A
It's
been
a
really
it's
been
longer
than
anyone's
said
so
far.
I
think
I
started
out
as
a
weekender,
a
visitor
and
then
transformed
into
full-time
and
part-time
and
back
to
full-time.
A
So
it's
been
kind
of
a
ride
before
that
I
had
my
own
business
design
business
in
la
for
almost
20
years,
an
art
direction
and
event
management
company
that
specializes,
I
specialize
in
non-profit
and
educational
institution
work.
So
I
worked
a
lot
with
ucla
other
universities
in
town
and
a
lot
of
different
nonprofits
doing
work
with
film
or
education.
A
Things
like
that
so
and
a
lot
of
special
event,
design
for
either
programs
or
fundraisers
things.
Like
that.
A
My
background,
my
my
degrees
in
art,
history
and
I
it's
I'm
from
massachusetts
and
my
degree
is
from
umass
amherst
and
I
also
studied
in
italy
for
three
years
with
syracuse,
doing
a
humanism
in
the
arts
and
renaissance
italy
program
where
I
also
studied
photography
at
a
italian
photography.
School
I've
lived
a
whole
bunch
of
places,
but
it
seems
like
california,
now
is,
is
the
longest,
but
my
passion
is,
is
I
I
say
that
I'm
a
communitarian.
A
I
really
believe
in
making
things
possible
and
accessible
for
for
everybody,
so
I
think
our
art
is
is
should
be
available
to
all.
We
love
I've
loved
teaching,
the
public
arts
class
at
the
high
school
for
the
past
couple
years
and
also
during
covid,
and
I
really
believe
that
arts
programming
is
really
important
for
the
community,
so
so
art
is
art
is
everywhere
an
artist
for
all.
We've
had
these
kind
of
slogans
over
the
past
few
years,
so
we'll
have
to
think
of
something
for
this
year.
A
We
had
imagine
art
here
and
then
our
30th
anniversary
was
art
is
here
and
then
our
pre-covered
grant
program
was
art
is
everywhere,
so
that
kind
of
was
really
downsized
because
of
covid,
but
we
were
able
to
get
a
lot
of
work
accomplished
last
year.
A
So
we're
really
looking
forward
to
hearing
your
thoughts
on
where
you
guys
would
like
the
commission
to
go
and
what
kind
of
projects
you're
thinking
about
so
next
monday
we
can
kind
of
bat
the
ideas
around,
so
we
can
kind
of
come
up
with
some
projects
over
the
summer
to
vote
on
in
september,
and
I
know
the
boring
thing
is
the
arts
ordinance,
but
it's
the
crucial,
crucial
string
that
we
have
to
not
to
be
able
to
have
a
productive
year
next
year.
A
So
so,
thank
you,
everybody
that
the
introductions
were
awesome.
E
With
my
bachelor
of
fine
arts
and
theater
and
dance,
I
have
over
50
national
commercials,
emmy
award,
winning
commercial
super
bowl
commercials
and
television
and
film
credits
as
well.
Just
to
throw
that
in
there
darling
didn't
want
to
be
remiss
didn't
want
to
leave
that
behind.
A
E
A
So
if
we're
kind
of
done
with
our
introductions,
we
have
two
items
today
that
are
kind
of
time
sensitive,
one
of
them's,
definitely
time
sensitive,
that
we
want
to
ask
everybody
to
vote
on.
I
know
you're
new
and
you
haven't
had
to
vote
on
anything.
Yet
when
russell
and
I
started.
At
the
same
time,
we
voted
on
the
isabelle
sculpture,
our
first
meeting,
so
it's
somewhat
of
a
little
bit
of
the
same
so
russell.
A
These
are
his
projects,
so
he's
going
to
talk
about
them,
but
the
first
one
is
a
piece
by
richard
becker
called
todd,
and
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
when
I
I
chaired
the
30th
anniversary
programs,
and
one
of
them
was
the
30
by
30
public
art
show
so
the
commission
had
in
the
past
had
like
a
city.
Art
show
that
you
know
people
had
participated
in
for
years
and
years
and
years,
but
we
wanted
to
change
it
up
and
turn
it.
A
You
know
it
wasn't
about
public
art,
it
was
just
people
making,
you
know
their
own
personal
art,
so
we
wanted
to
do
a
show
that
was
about
public
art.
So
we
did
a
call
for
artists
for
this
30
by
30
show,
and
we
showed
at
the
palm
springs
art
museum.
We
had
a
show
of
30
artists
showing
30
pieces
of
public
art,
and
it
was,
it
was
an
incredible
show.
We
had
we
had
public
art
in
all
types
of
medium.
A
A
Widely,
so
it's
that's
in
the
pdf
for
you
guys
to
see
so
I'll.
Let
russell
talk
to
you
about
tot.
C
Yes,
thank
you,
commissioner
merrigan
yeah.
Hopefully,
you've
all
had
a
chance
to
look
through
some
of
the
materials
that
we
sent
through.
What
we're
looking
at
now
is
actually
the
color
mock-up
of
the
top
figure
that
we
would
do
for
this
installation,
but
a
little
bit
more
information
just
on
richard
becker
and
the
art
show
that
we
did
at
the
museum
we
actually
his
piece.
C
There
was
called
buoyant,
which
is
a
baby
floating
in
a
inner
tube
with
a
similar
powder-coated
steel,
swim
trunks
and
swim
goggles,
and
I
will
actually
bring
be
bringing
that
proposal
to
you
in
september
for
a
very
specific
location
downtown
to
be
announced
in
september.
C
But
I
wanted
to
move
forward
with
this
one,
because
I've
found
the
ideal
location
for
this
tot
is
at
the
palm
springs,
swim
center
and
you'll
see.
Oh
thank
you.
This
is
the
current
entrance
way
to
the
palm
springs
swim
center.
If
you've
not
been
there,
this
yellow
structure
is
intended
to
be
a
bicycle
rack.
C
But
this
is
the
prime
concrete
pedestal
base
for
this
wonderful
figure
of
thought
to
welcome,
especially
all
of
the
young
grade
school
children
who
come
to
classes
at
the
swim
center
and
general
public.
What
more
of
a
great
welcome
to
be
greeted
by
this
cute
chubby
little
kid
and
his
swim
trunks
and
swim
goggles.
C
There's
a
an
item
for
structural
engineering
that
comes
in
at
3200,
which
we
will
most
likely
not
use
because
we
just
did
an
art
installation
by
e
tyler
burton
on
city-owned
property,
called
crescendo
west
bracket
club
and
leonard
16
inch
diameter,
concrete
ceramic
piece
topping
out
at
eight
feet
high
and
we
did
not
have
to
do
a
structural
engineering
for
that.
So
hopefully
this
costs
will
balance
out.
C
So
so
that's
the
budget
and
the
proposal
so
like
you
have
the
195
19
000
150,
with
additional
3
500
for
this
installation
and
richard
would
probably
be
able
to
get
it
done
early
in
september.
I
would
think
so.
If
you
have
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
what
I
mean.
C
And
this
is
oh,
the
image
that
was
just
there
on
the
screen
was
the
buoyance
figure.
So
this
one
has
a
slightly
higher
budget
and
we've
got
a
few
different
different
variations
that
we
can
do
it
in.
So
as
I
work
towards
solidifying
the
location
for
it,
then
it
will
determine
what
the
budget
will
come
in
at,
but
the
inner
tube
baby
would
be
approximately
48
inches
in
diameter,
as
we've
listed
here
on
the
pedestal.
C
C
Yes,
if
we
do
yeah,
the
figure
itself
is
32
inches
and
the
base,
as
richard
has
specced
out
now,
is
eight
inches,
but
he
might
bump
it
up
a
couple
of
inches
on
the
base,
just
as
he
figures
out
the
scale
with
the
figure,
so
it
might
be
like
42
inches
but
yeah.
It's
a
little
short
kid.
I
As
I
said,
I
can't
I
came
from
new
york
for
29
years
and
in
new
york.
If
you
had
a
statue
of
40
inches
every
school,
kid
would
be
standing
on
it
when
they
walked
by
they'd
hop
over
it.
They
would
do
whatever
they
would,
because
there's
no
protective
barrier
around
that
has
there
been
any
consideration
of
that
at
that
height.
C
No
because
that's
when
we
sort
of
encourage
interaction
with
the
art,
what
we
would
most
likely
do,
this
is
only
14
inches
in
diameter.
So
I
wouldn't
think
that
we
would
need
to
do
skateboard
guards
that
once
were
installed,
because
we
did
all
guards
on
the
downtown
benches
after
we
painted
them
yeah.
So
we
could
consider
that,
but
we
like
interaction
and
richard
is
certainly
will
work
with
us
on
any
maintenance
issues
over
the
next
year.
But
it's
going
to
be
a
pretty
substantial
piece
structurally
and
pretty
sound.
A
D
H
Yeah-
and
I
was
just
wondering
it
says:
18
8
there
in
the
brief
for
the
total,
but
it
says
1950
on
the
agenda
or
19
150.
H
C
And
the
reason
for
that
with
our
previous
city
manager,
excuse
me
we
could
always
do
these
smaller
budget
items
like
plaques
and
signage
outside
of
the
actual
budget
for
the
art
piece.
But
now
until
we
get
our
ordinance
changed,
we
have
to
have
every
penny
approved
by
city
council.
So
we
have
to
remember
to
add
in
all
of
the
costs,
which
is
why
I
had
to
add
the
sign
afterwards
with
the
black.
So
generally,
it's
in
a
grave
steel
plaque,
they're
around
350
dollars.
H
B
Right,
we
generally
anticipate
revenue
of
about
180
000
annually,
depending
on
development
activity.
As
you
know,
the
percentage
for
arts
or
the
half
a
percentage
for
arts
comes
from
as
part
of
the
development
permits,
but
at
this
time
I
believe
we
have
around
380
000
in
our
in
our
budget.
A
So
our
budget
changes
right,
so
we
kind
of
will
know
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
jay
but
we'll
kind
of
know
in
the
fall.
What
money
has
come
in
over
the
last
fiscal
year,
so
they
kind
of
give
us
an
estimate
budget
based
on
the
year
before
so
there
might
be
some
more
money
in
there
we
might
find
out
later,
and
then
we
have
kind
of
a
reserve
that
you
know.
We've
talked
about
doing
a
large
piece
and
you
know
and
a
rainy
day,
fun
kind
of
thing.
A
So
that's
why
you
have
those
two
different
numbers,
so
we've
kind
of
been
going
off
this
we
kind
of
have
the
same
budget
every
year,
pretty
much
so
we
think
of
that
as
180
is
our
our
budget.
C
D
C
So
that's
something
moving
forward
and
we'll
discuss
in
our
study
sessions
and
upcoming
meetings,
identifying
one
or
two
commissioners,
ideally
two
commissioners,
that
will
forge
a
better
relationship
with
park
and
rec,
because
as
we
do,
and
especially
this
one,
this
is
one
of
the
first
installations,
we're
actually
doing
in
sort
of
a
park-like
city-owned
setting.
A
Yeah,
this
is
a
you
know.
The
city
is
actually
there
is
when
we
we
did
the
gerald
clark
installation
and
walked
through
the
parks
with
the
city
maintenance
department
on
you
know
where
we
could
locate
pieces.
They
are
much
more
enthusiastic
and
willing
to
be
more
creative
with
landscaping.
I
guess
I
would
say
so
so
I
think
we
could
reach
out,
and
you
know
I
know,
with
the
gerald
clark
installation.
That
was
one
thing
I
had
talked
to
them
about
because
of
covid.
A
That
kind
of
stuff
went
out
the
window
at
that
time,
but
at
that
time
they
were
really
enthusiastic
about
you
know.
Having
you
know
not,
you
know
not
just
boring
grass
like
having
you
know,
plants
that
do
better
in
the
desert,
and
you
know
more
drought,
tolerant
plants,
and
things
like
that.
So
that's
like
a
longer
term
project,
which
I
think
they
would
be
interested
in
being
open
to.
B
Commissioners,
given
the
location
of
this
proposed
piece
being
in
a
park,
as
vice
chair
pritchard,
has
discussed
the
relationship
with
the
park
and
recreation
commission.
B
We
may
want
to
consider
factoring
in
some
time
to
have
this
discussion
regarding
the
piece
with
the
parks
and
recreation
commission
also
we'll
we
actually
will
be
meeting
with
him
on
another
piece.
I
believe,
commissioner
pritchard
on
monday
to
discuss
another
piece
being
put
into
a
park
also.
H
Are
the
colors
for
the
piece
the
ones
shown
in
this
brief
or
in
the
other
picture,.
E
A
So
jay
one
question,
so
we
might
have
to
include
this
in
a
motion.
So
the
the
bike
rack
that
is
at
that
location
is
a
piece
of
public
art,
so
we
would
have
to
move
it.
A
B
A
procedure
for
decommissioning
art
that
I'd
have
to
take
a
look
at.
A
C
B
B
I
think
remove
total
for
now,
since
we
don't
have
another
location
identified
and
unless
someone
and
the
commission
agrees
to
another
specific
site
that
may
be
available.
E
B
Okay
yeah,
in
that
case,
yes,
I
would
say
removal
to
be
determined
in
conjunction
with
the
park
and.
A
So
I
will
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
purchase
of
the
taught
sculpt
sculpture
by
richard
becht
becker
for
up
to
nineteen
thousand
one
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
and
installation
costs
of
up
to
three
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
and.
A
A
E
E
I
E
F
F
A
So
now
that
will
be
on
the
council
agenda
for
tomorrow's
agenda.
B
A
B
It
won't
make
it
to
the
council
agenda
quite
so
quickly.
I
think,
as
we
briefly
discussed,
perhaps
working
with
the
park
and
recreation
commission
first
and
then
to
city
council.
E
E
But
that,
of
course,
can
happen.
You
know
after
the
council
can
bless
it
if
they
want
to
do
that,
and
then
discussion.
A
And
I
think
the
council
agenda
item
was
not
location,
specific,
that's
correct,
okay,
cool
awesome,
so
our
second
piece
popped
up
last
week
because
the
owner
of
the
building
is
getting
ready
to
open
it
to
the
public.
So
item
two
is
relocating
the
george
floyd
mural.
That
was
done
last
well
last
summer
june.
A
311
north
indian
canyon
drive,
which
was
the
original
greyhound
station
for
palm
springs,
and
it
was
designed
by
one
of
our
famous
architects.
So
I
learned
that
last
week,
which
was
really
exciting.
A
A
So
now
the
mural
is
mostly
painted
on
panel
and
russell
is
asking
us
to
relocate
it
and
allocate
funds
to
pay
for
the
relocation
and
to
to
paint
on
panel
the
pieces
that
will
be
missing
from
the
mural
that
were
painted
on
the
wall.
So
this
project
was
part
of
our
activation
of
spaces
during
covid
that
were
shuttered
buildings.
C
Sure,
thank
you
yeah,
the
george
floyd
murals,
as
well
as
being
part
of
our
art
activation
thing.
It
was
a
the
need
for
an
immediate
action
on
our
part.
The
arts
commission
part
to
call
attention
to
the
tragedy
of
george
floyd's
murder,
which
was
may
of
2020.,
so
use
the
artist
mr
alec,
who
is
based
in
los
angeles,
very
renowned,
mural,
painter
very
specialized
in
portraits.
C
So
I've
been
in
touch
with
the
artist
mr
alex,
and
he
is
very
much
looking
forward
to
restoring
the
mural
and
this
relocating
it
to
a
prime
location
downtown,
because
this
is
a
very
important
piece
of
art
that
we've
done
last
year,
addressing
a
very
important
social
issue
which
is
still
going
on
and
we're
very
fortunate.
The
relocation
of
the
mural
is
getting
a
lot
of
very
positive
press.
C
It
was
on
kesq
yesterday
it
was
on
the
five
o'clock
news
of
nbc
today,
we'll
be
replayed
again
tonight
at
11,
and
I'm
working
closely
with
the
owners,
michael
braun
and
octavio
of
the
grit
art
pit
to
hopefully
convince
them.
They
originally
said
no
to
the
north
wall
of
the
pit,
but
I'm
gently
trying
to
twist
their
arms.
So
I'm
hoping
that
that's
going
to
be
the
location,
but
it
will
be
relocated
somewhere
in
a
very
prime
part
of
downtown.
C
C
If
that
doesn't
happen,
it
does
need
to
go
to
council,
and
I
want
to
make
a
slight
adjustment
to
the
budget
of
3
500,
again,
adding
a
contingency
for
350
for
signage,
which
would
make
the
budget
38.50
and
want
to
do
that
because
here,
as
a
stand-alone,
you
can't
see
it
on
the
panel.
But
we
do
have
our
hashtag
ps
public
arts,
the
artist
hashtag
that
if
we
were
to
put
it
in
the
grit
art
pit,
then
we
would
make
the
appropriate
signage
that
would
be
attached
to
the
fence.
C
That's
above
the
art
pit,
as
we've
done
with
the
amanda
gorman
sign.
We
have
one
coming
for
ryan
campbell's
mural,
and
then
we
would
have
one
also
for
this
mural.
So
the
3
500
is
for
the
artist
fee,
creating
the
panels
reinstalling,
it
refreshing
it
and
then
the
additional
350
dollars
for
signage
total
of
38.50.
G
Yeah,
I
agree
it
would
be
nice
to
find
a
prominent
location
for
this
piece
to
be
visible,
more
long-term,
I'm
wondering
in
this
case
or
in
like
pieces
like
this
in
general,
that
are
initially
put
up
in
a
known,
temporary
location.
Is
there
any
discussion
initially
about
the
next
step
like
finding
a
permanent
location,
or
is
there
some
sense
that
they
may
be?
You
know,
taken
down
and
not
not
be
able
to
put
back
up
at
some
point.
C
Yes,
fans
of
that
bear
with
this
particular
one
with
working
with
michael
brown
at
grit
development.
We
would
most
likely
do
a
another
finite
period
of
installation,
probably
for
a
year,
and
that's
what
we've
approached
a
lot
of
the
temporary
art
projects.
We've
done
is
giving
them
like
a
six
month
through
a
12
month
calendar
year,
and
then
we
readdress
at
the
end
of
that
year.
Okay,
do
we
now
want
to
continue
and
save
this
piece
and
find
either
a
more
permanent
location
or
another
temporary
location?
C
A
A
Every
cost
that
we
can
think
of
up
front,
so
it's
budgeted,
but
that
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
that's
what
it
cost
so
so
things
could
come
under
we're.
Trying
to
you
know
if
they
go
over,
we'd
have
to
re-vote
on
it
probably
but
we're
trying
to
make
sure
things
are
covered,
and
then
we
will
want
to
report
on
the
actual
cost
of
things.
At
the
end.
C
But
this
particular
one,
the
3500
with
the
additional
350
for
signage,
will
most
definitely
be.
I
mean
unless,
if
some
gross
unknown
thing
happens,
this
will
definitely
be
the
within
budget,
and
I
would
have
no
issue
with
a
saying
that
would
be
a
temporary
location
for
a
period
of
one
year
and
again,
with
the
location
to
be
determined.
C
C
Are
you
familiar
with
the
grid
art
pit
where
the
babies
are
yeah,
ryan
campbell
mirror
so
amanda
gorman
is
on
the
south
facing
wall.
This
would
go
on
the
north
facing
wall
sort
of
the
middle
range.
D
Are
there
are
there
any
city
agencies
or
other
people
helping
to
look
for
a
site.
C
So
at
the
moment
it's
just
us
shanda,
commissioner
of
febro,
thomas,
has
been
also
actively
looking
for
spaces.
I
do
have
a
secondary
location
in
mind
if
they
say
no
to
the
pit
also
downtown
very
visible,
but
my
pushes
for
the
grid
art
pit,
because
fortunately,
now
with
marilyn
back
that
has
now
re-energized
that
as
our
little
art
hub-
and
it
would
be
great
to
see
this
incorporated
into
that,
because
it
gives
us
again
the
opportunity
for
great
art,
because
the
david
cerney
babies
are
again
social
commentary.
C
C
We
could
consider
doing
a
qr
code
for
the
george
floyd
mural,
because
there
certainly
might
be
people
visiting
the
pit
who
will
see
it
that
don't
know
what
this
means,
and
I
think
now
that
we're
sort
of
focusing
on
doing
more
signage
with
qr
codes,
the
more
informative
we
can
be
about
our
public
art.
It's
going
to
act
to
more
engage
the
people
who
are
viewing
it.
A
Yeah
we
were
talking
earlier
today,
shonda
and
I
about
doing
art.
You
know
downtown
public
art
tours
because
we
have
so
much
public
art
downtown
doing
it
is
like
a
feature
of
of
the
thursday
night
village
fest
so
would
be
great
to
have
like
a
cohesive
story
about
all
of
the
art.
That's
down
there.
You
know
like
sophia's,
mural
and
the
car,
like
all
of
the
things
that
we've
had
a
hand
in
and
the
pieces
that
we've
commissioned
ourselves.
I
I
I
love
this
piece.
I
think
it's
a
very
important
piece
for
the
city
of
palm
springs.
I
I
I'm
hesitant
just
to
make
it
in
another
temporary
location,
because
every
time
you
move
art
it
deteriorates
and
then
you
need
repair
and
I
would
love
to
find
a
place
that
could
make
it
permanent
and
as
much
as
I
personally
love
the
pit
and
I
love
the
the
babies,
I'm
afraid
by
putting
it
down
there,
it
loses
its
emotional
impact
because
it
creates
a
distance
that
the
pastors
buy
and
what
makes
this
one
so
powerful
is
people
are
just
walking
down
the
street
and
then
they
see
his
face
and
in
the
pit
your
base.
I
It's
like
this
massive
proscenium
that
you
cannot
interact
with
in
any
way,
but
I
love
I
want
to
find
a
way
to
keep
it.
That's
my
concern.
C
Yeah
just
to
answer
that
the
second
location
might
be,
and
it's
something
we
can
consider
it's
a
more
visible
street
level
location
if
you're
watching
you
know
where
destination
psp
is
on.
I
guess
it's,
north
palm
canyon,
the
museum
way,
there's
a
alley.
That's
part
of
the
town
and
country
center,
which
is
under
renovation.
It
will
be
for
a
couple
of
years,
but
the
alleyway
between
the
south-facing
wall
and
the
burger
restaurant.
It's
like
crazy
mouths.
I
think
it's
the
restaurant,
that's
there.
C
E
When
I
talked
to
the
black
history
committee,
there
was
a
couple
of
locations
suggested.
They
did
have
reservations
about
putting
it
into
the
pit
for
the
fact
that
it
would
be
distant
from
the
viewer
as
well
as
looking
down
on
the
the
piece
and
the
juxtaposition
with
her
with
him.
Looking
up
marilyn's
skirt,
there
were
some
reservations
about
another
suggestion.
E
Was
the
convention
center
to
put
it
on
section,
14
land
and
there
was
another
building,
that's
downtown,
which
is
which
I
it's
a
holland
farms
which
I
think
it's
a
cannabis
dispensary,
but
I
think
that
would
be
like
a
last
resort
to
put
it
on
a
dispensary.
C
C
A
A
C
E
B
But
I'm
chair
before
you
do
that.
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
for
monday's
meeting.
If
it's
a
study
session,
the
commission
would
not
be
taking
any
actions
such
as
agreeing
on
a
location.
So
something
to
think
about
is,
if
you
want
to
just
make
the
monday
meeting
a
regular
special
meeting.
You
know
that.
May
that
may
be
a
way
to
take
the
action.
A
Yeah,
I
think
if
we
just
do
location
to
be
determined-
and
you
know
people
kind
of
reach
out
over
the
next-
you
know
month
or
so
we
can
also
kind
of
advertise
it
right
that
we're
looking
for
a
location
for
this
or
that
we'd
like
to
save
the
mural,
and
could
we
do
that
like?
If
we
vote
on
that
tonight,
can
we
reach
out
to
the
public
and
ask
them
for
their
suggestions?
I.
A
But
so
like
one-on-one
outreach.
C
A
E
B
Yes,
vote
call
votes,
commissioner
damiani.
Yes,
commissioner,
lesniak.
D
D
E
E
A
A
Now
we're
on
to
the
report
from
director
staff.
Can
I
just
ask
a
couple
questions
jay.
A
So
it's
good
that
we
decided
to
do
another
study
session
next
week,
because
we
we
don't
want
to
have
insanely
long
meetings
with
you.
So
so
we
can
do
our
work,
a
little
quicker
and
be
able
to
talk
more
at
ease.
A
So
my
question
is
so
so
next
week
we
would
have
another
study
session.
Almost
everybody
said
monday
would
work
for
them.
We
will
send
out
an
agenda
with
the
items.
I
thought
we
would
talk
about
and
then
a
couple
more
that
kind
of
have
come
up
from
everybody's
conversation
today,
but
jay.
What
time
is
the
parks
and
recs
meeting.
C
B
Okay,
yeah,
but-
and
you
know
we
are
kind
of
set
at
5
30
commissioners,
you
may
or
may
not
be
aware.
Our
council
has
requested
that
all
meetings,
public
meetings,
such
as
commissions,
occur
at
5,
30
or
later,
to
enable
more
public
participation,
as
opposed
to
doing
it
during
business
hours.
C
Well,
let
me
say
this
chairman
again:
if
the
park
and
recognition
operates
like
ours,
the
presentations
are
generally
one
of
the
first
items
on
the
agenda.
So
if
that
were
the
case,
I
can
we
can
zoom.
I
could
be
on
that
zoom
meeting
and
then
just
sign
off
as
soon
as
that
part
of
the
meeting
is
finished
and
log
on
to
our
meeting.
B
I
can
I
push
the
buttons
here
to
start
the
meeting,
so
I
I
would
have
to
have
the
computer
up
and
running
to
start
the
study
session
before
for
the
arts
commission.
A
So
it
looks
like
well
yeah.
We've
done
that
before
right,
like
russell
like
someone
says:
hey
you're
up
in
five
minutes,
I
got
another
commission
right
and
then
you
just
go
sign
on
to
theirs
and
then
come.
C
A
It
sounds
like
they're
gonna
have
a
really
long
meeting
looking
at
the
list
here.
So
it's
item
number
four,
but
item
number
one
through
three
could
be
long.
E
B
Oh
right,
it
would
have
to
be
someone
on
parks,
because
I'll
have
to
be
in
this
meeting
to,
since
my
zoom
account
is
what
everybody's
logging
into
right
now
right.
A
B
How
about
we
monitor
it
in
all
last
cynthia
also,
but
you
know
just
on
the
item
three
just
plan
to
have
russell
jump
into
that
parking.
Recreation,
commission
meeting.
A
D
A
Okay,
so,
okay,
so
if
we
are
all
set,
we
can
adjourn
to
monday.
A
Oh
wait.
We.
E
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
not
really
much
more
than
what
you
had
said
earlier.
We
did
send
out
some
additional
materials
before
this
meeting
for
you
to
review
for
the
upcoming
study
sessions.
B
So
I
don't
think
you
need
to
take
it
all
in
over
the
weekend,
we'll
have
august
to
take
a
look
at
those
also
for
the
second
study
session
being
planned.
So
please
take
a
look
at
those.
B
Hopefully
we
can
frame
the
questions
and
the
issues
a
little
better
on
monday
having
to
deal
with
the
ordinance
and
what
what
the
commission
is
looking
for
in
terms
of
goals
and
programs
and
ideas,
so
bring
some
good
ideas
to
jot
down
and
then,
like,
I
said,
we'll
have
august
for
everybody
to
noodle
on
them
and
come
back
in
september
for
a
study
session.
If
you
please
and
then
another
regular
meeting,
so
that
would
conclude
my
report.
A
Thank
you,
jay,
so
we'll
send
out
and
jay
will
send
out
a
agenda
for
monday.
So
this
is
exciting.
We're
get
we've
gotten
a
lot
done
already.
E
Sorry,
for
clarity's
sake,
for
the
the
parks
and
recs
meeting
will:
will
there
be
someone
monitoring
both?
Do
you
guys
want
me
to
monitor
both
because
with
closed
captioning
on,
if
parks
and
rex
has
closed
captioning,
then
I
can
be
in
the
study
section
and
glance
over
at
their
closed
captioning
to
see
where
they
are
in
their
meeting.
E
A
All
right,
I'm
sending
this
to
both
of
you
guys
and
then
anything
anything
you
the
commissioners
want
to
share
with
the
commission.
It
has
to
go
to
jay,
because
otherwise
it
would
be
a
public
meeting,
so
we
can't
have
more
than
a
quorum
meeting
on
something
without
noticing
a
public
meeting.
A
So
if
you
know,
if,
if
you
wanted
to
share
with
the
whole
commission
some
ideas
from
monday-
or
you
know
just
send
them
to
jay
and
he
can
send
them
to
all
of
us
so
just
for
for
future
reference,
so
we
can't
all
be
on
the
same
email
chain.
A
B
Gary,
since
we'll
be
in
a
meeting
on
monday,
it
will
have
been
noticed
and
everyone
will
be
there.
It's
fine
to
discuss
the
items
which
will
be
study
session
and
it's
when
the
emails
go
around
that
our
city
clerk
has
asked
that
commissioners
wanting
to
share
information,
send
it
to
me
and
then
I
will
send
it
out
and
that
prevents
what
might
be
construed
as
a
a
meeting.
E
A
And
next
time
we'll
have
we
had
thought
we
were
adjourning
to
the
study
session,
which
we
wouldn't
have
been
able
to
handle
today.
It
would
have
been
too
long.
So
you
know
in
future,
we'll
have
on
the
on
the
agenda.
A
So
I
would
I
will
do
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
public
arts
commission
to
a
study
session
on
monday
july
26
at
5
30
pm
via
teleconference.
