BACKGROUND <br /> Through the Harrington Art Partnership (Another Harrington Arts Partnership Piece for <br /> You), Nancy and Gary Harrington have graciously donated the bronze sculptures <br /> "Pennington" and "Sylvester', by artist Marty Goldstein, to add to the City's public art <br /> collection. In 2011, the sculptures were reviewed and approved by the City's Public Art <br /> Selection Subcommittee (PASS), the Civic Arts Commission, and the City Council. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> Originally suggested by the Harrington's, the proposed site for the permanent location of <br /> "Pennington"and "Sylvester'; at the Valley Humane Society has great appeal due to its <br /> visibility and its `approachability' by patrons and pedestrians alike. <br /> Seeing the natural connections between the property and the art pieces, the property <br /> owner (Valley Humane Society), has agreed and signed the City's "Letter of Intent to <br /> Participate" agreement which states that they agree and understand the public art <br /> pieces will be placed on their property located at 3670 Nevada Street. <br /> At its regular meeting on January 6, 2014, the Civic Arts Commission reviewed the <br /> pieces and the proposed location. The Commission asked detailed questions about the <br /> location and visibility. The Commissioners agreed with the property owner and see the <br /> natural connections between the property and the pieces. They unanimously agreed to <br /> recommend placement of these pieces at the Valley Humane Society facility. <br /> The public art pieces provide a strong connection to the location and help enhance this <br /> particular location of town. The Civic Arts Commission, the Harrington's, the City's art <br /> conservator, and City staff, all believe that the proposed location and installation details <br /> will showcase the pieces. <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approved : <br /> / <br /> Susan Andrade-Wax Emily Wagner Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Community Services Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
