BACKGROUND On December 6, 2011 at its regular meeting, City Council approved the public art piece, "On the Count of Three" by artist Jane Dedecker, as part of the Harrington Public Art Acquisition Plan - Phase II. Through the Harrington Art Partnership, Nancy and Gary Harrington have purchased the bronze sculpture "On the Count of Three'; and have graciously donated it to the City's public art collection. DISCUSSION Originally suggested by the Harringtons, the proposed site for the permanent location of "On the Count of Three"; at the Pleasanton Library has great appeal due to its visibility and its 'approachability' by patrons and pedestrians alike. On April 10, 2015, the location for "On the Count of Three" was reviewed by both the Public Art Selection Subcommittee, as well as representatives from the Library Commission. With unanimous approval, both PASS members and the Library Commissioners supported the installation of "On the Count of Three" at the Pleasanton Library located at 400 Old Bernal Avenue. At its regular meeting on May 4, 2015, the Civic Arts Commission reviewed the piece and the proposed location. The Commission asked detailed questions about the location and visibility. The Commission liked the family concept of the piece and felt it would have a connection to the Library. They unanimously agreed to recommend placement of this piece at the Pleasanton Library.
