AGENDA REPORT
TO: Moorpark Arts Commission
FROM: Hugh R. Riley, Community Services Directo
DATE: February 13, 2012 (Meeting of February 21, 2012)
SUBJECT: Subcommittee Progress Report on the Public Art Inventory for
Moorpark.
DISCUSSION
The Arts Commission's Public Art Inventory Subcommittee (Amador-Blaugrund)
has been working on an inventory of public art locations and opportunities in
Moorpark. The inventory will include existing art sites and site opportunities for
existing and new City Public Facilities and sites on private commercial properties.
In an effort to properly plan the use of public art at these sites, Staff is
recommending that a work plan to complete the Inventory be developed.
Although staff has not been authorized to begin work on a Public Arts Master
Plan, the inventory would be a logical first step to help guide decisions for public
art at existing and proposed public facilities including the Police Services Center,
Arroyo Vista Community Center, Civic Center and Library and the High Street
Post Office.
The Subcommittee will provide a report and handout to the Commission during
the meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive Report from Public Art Inventory Subcommittee concerning progress on

A. Review Artist's Proposal and Budget for Public Art Piece at the Ruben

recommendations to the City Council for the Public Art Project at the
Ruben Castro Human Services Center (John Fisher will be in attendance).
Hugh Riley introduced Artist Mr. John Fisher, who will be sculpting the art
piece at the Ruben Castro Human Services Center. Mr. Riley stated that
he and Mr. Fisher had met earlier that day with the design and
construction team for the project to discuss specifics.
Mr. Fisher described to the Commission the proposed placement of the
artwork at the Center, what his current time frame is for purchasing the
stone, delivery of the stone, and steps and procedures he will follow
during the actual carving time.
Mr. Fisher stated that the drawings submitted with staff's report are the
basic designs. The actual carving may change somewhat as he
progresses with the art piece. In addition, Mr. Fisher is suggesting an
inscription at ground-level encircling the carving when complete.
The Commissioners all agreed that they liked the idea of the apricot seed
benches that are portrayed in Mr. Fisher's design proposal.
The Commission inquired as to the security of the artwork at night. Mr.
Fisher stated that he will be using strap down tarps to protect the piece,
and Mr. Riley stated that there will be security guards in the evening
because the Center will still be under construction.
The Commission and staff discussed different ways to publicize the
project, including filming, interviews with the local papers, and other
means of involving the community.
MOTION: A motion was carried by unanimous voice vote that staff's
recommendation for City Council consideration be approved, with the inclusion of
apricot benches with the project.

The Commission discussed with staff the details of what is needed at this
time to complete the inventory project.

the next joint meeting of the Arts Commission and City Council in 2012 so
