BACKGROUND: On January 17, 2001 the City Council considered a recommendation from staff to develop an Artistic Rock Fountain /Waterscape Presentation at southwest corner of Tierra Rejada and Mountain Trail (Mountain Meadows Plaza) as a part of the City's Art In Public Places Program. On February 7, the City Council established an Ad Hoc Committee to work with staff on the development of the project. The Council directed the Ad Hoc Committee to proceed with the development of a recommended project at the corner of Tierra Rejada and Mountain Trail. DISCUSSION: After consultation with the Council's Ad Hoc Committee (Mayor Pro -Tem Harper, Councilmember Millhouse) concerning design criteria and artist selection procedure, staff began negotiations with the owner of the corner property for any necessary easements, utility connections, site preparation and future maintenance. On April 19, 2001, a Request for Qualifications was issued, fourteen artists received the RFQ and one artist, Rock Designs, Pools and Waterscapes, Inc., responded. Rock Design's conceptual proposal, including several alternative designs, was reviewed by the Ad Hoc Committee on September 11 and a design was selected for recommendation to the City Council. r� `. City Council September 26, Page 2 Agenda Report 2001 A copy of the design recommended by the committee is attached. The cost for the proposed project is $88,500 excluding utility connections, demolition hauling, grading, equipment enclosure and city permits. Staff estimates the total overall cost for the project to be $100,000. The current cash balance in the City's Art In Public Places Fund is $197,021. The City's Tree and Landscape Fund has a current cash balance of $127,630. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1) Approve a proposed Artistic Rock Fountain /waterscape Presentation at southwest corner of Tierra Rejada and Mountain Trail (Mountain Meadows Plaza as submitted by Rock Designs, Inc. and recommended by the Ad Hoc Committee) and; 2.) Adopt Resolution No. 2001 -_ amending the 2001 -2002 Operating Budget appropriating $100,000 from the Arts In Public Places Fund. (ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED) Attachments: 1.

Riley, Assistant City Manage DATE: January 10, 2001 (City Council Meeting of 1/17/01) SUBJECT: Consider Development of Artistic Rock Fountain /waterscape Presentation at southwest corner of Tierra Rejada and Mountain Trail (Mountain Meadows Plaza) as a part of the City's Art In Public Places Program DISCUSSION: In June, 1997, during the approval process for Minor Modification No. 5 to Major Modification No. 1 of CPD 90 -2 (American Stores Properties, Inc.) the City Council rejected the submittal of the applicant's architect for an artistic presentation to be installed at the southwest corner of Tierra Rejada and Mountain Trail (Mountain Meadows Plaza) as a part of the City's Art In Public Places Program. Prior to the issuance of the Zoning Clearance for the construction of the shopping Center, the applicant paid to the City a fee of $11,323.80 for the city's Art In Public Places Fund as required by the project's conditions of approval. When the proposed artistic presentation was rejected by the City Council, the City retained the developer's contribution. Since this action, the American Stores Properties' position has been that the fee paid should release them from the condition calling for the installation of an artistic presentation at the location. No further action has been taken by either the developer or the city regarding this matter. The current cash balance in the City's Art In Public Places Fund is $182,930. The City's Tree and Landscape Fund has a current cash balance of $109,773. It is estimated that an acceptable presentation installed at this corner would cost between $50,000 and $75,000 including site demolition, preparation, and new construction and landscaping. 1,14 11:11C City Council Agenda Report January 10, 2001 Page 2 If the City develops an artistic presentation at this location the responsibility for ongoing utility costs and maintenance will need to be determined. The developer is currently maintaining this particular site because it is private property. However, because the City has retained the payment -in -lieu fee, the developer may object to taking on the responsibility for maintenance. The Art In Public Places participation condition does not address the responsibility for ongoing maintenance of a facility erected by the City. It may be advisable to seek a partnership with the developer for this project. Staff is presenting this item to the City Council at the request of Mayor Pro Tem Harper in order to seek direction for obtaining design -build proposals for the development of an artistic presentation at the Mountain Meadows Plaza location. The current discussion has concentrated on the concept of a rock fountain, pool and waterscape design similar those installed by other cities such as Cerritos and to the installation shown in the attached print. Such a presentation would be consistent with the landscaping emphasis of the overall Mountain Meadows development. The construction /installation of artistic presentations such as statues, sculpture, and fountains may be exempt from the Public Contracts Code with regard to the requirements for excepting the lowest responsible bid under certain circumstances. However, in compliance with the code, the city would be required to obtain competitive design -build proposals. It may also be beneficial to separate the artistic work from the site demolition and foundation preparations include utility connections and concrete sidewalks. There typically is a charge or fee associated with the preparation of proposals by artists because the proposal involves the creative application of their particular skills with these materials and techniques. In one example obtained by staff from Rock Designs in Woodland Hills the proposed fee would be $2,000. In this example, 50% of the fee would be credited toward the installation cost if the artwork submitted is actually commissioned by the City. A copy of Rock Designs' correspondence is attached. City Council Agenda Report January 10, 2001 Page 3 If the City Council wants to proceed with such a project the following may be considered: 1. Direct staff to obtain design -build proposals with total costs not to exceed $75,000. 2. Negotiate with American Properties to secure any necessary easement, utility connections, site preparation and future maintenance. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council is requested to discuss this artistic development concept and to provide direction to staff. Attachments: 1. Typical Rock Fountain Waterscapes 2.
