2 Description/Analysis Issue Detail: This report recommends City Council authorize the placement of the Artwork identified in Attachment 3 on the 12 th Street underpass between North B and C streets in Sacramento and authorize the execution of an agreement with L/C Mural and Design, Inc. (shown in Attachment 2) to fabricate and install the Artwork. Policy Considerations: The Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission s approval of the designs for the 12 th Street mural project meets standard Art in Public Places (APP) policies and procedures and the goal of site-specific public art. Economic Impacts: None. Environmental Considerations: California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): Under the CEQA guidelines, Title 14, Section 15378(b), continuing administrative activities do not constitute a project and are therefore exempt from CEQA review. Sustainability: Not applicable. Commission/Committee Action: : In accordance with City Code section (E), the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission (the Commission ) has the authority to make recommendations to the City on all works of art to be acquired by the city either by purchase or gift. For the 12 th Street Mural Public Art Project, the Commission approved the mural design (the Artwork ), recommending it for purchase by the City for placement on the 12 th Street underpass. Rationale for Recommendation: As envisioned by staff, the goals of the 12th Street Mural Project are to: Enhance the enjoyment and quality of life for City residents and visitors; Encourage revitalization of the area; Increase the public s experience of contemporary art; Create a more vibrant art scene; and Discourage graffiti tagging of public property. The Artwork is being recommended for approval because: It is visually interesting, appealing and engaging on many levels; Represents a high quality of craftsmanship; Has a relationship to the site where it is located; and, The artists have the ability and experience to complete the designs as proposed. If approved by council, the Artwork will be fabricated and installed by L/C Mural and Design, Inc. By approving the Artwork, the City does not intend to create a forum for public expression, but rather is expressing its own government speech. City staff worked with the Commission to review the design proposal, consistent with the Commission s authority to make recommendations on all works of art to be acquired by the City either by purchase or gift. The City Council has ultimate approval authority over the Artwork. The City will hold title to the Artwork and will, accordingly, retain the right to remove it at any time. 2 of 29

3 Financial Considerations: L/C Mural and Design, Inc. will fabricate the Artwork and perform ongoing maintenance of the piece, as necessary, at a cost of $5,000 to the City. The City will retain $2,500 of the $5,000, for a period of three years from the City s acceptance of the Artwork, to fund necessary maintenance of the piece. At the conclusion of the three-year period, the City will remit the remaining balance to the artists. Local Business Enterprise (LBE): L/C Mural and Design, Inc. is a Local Business Enterprise. 3 of 29
