DISCUSSION <br /> This commissioned piece is valued at $80,000 by the artist but he is providing it to the <br /> City for $56,000. The City of Pleasanton will provide $20,000 towards the purchase of <br /> the piece. Nancy and Gary Harrington have verbally committed to contribute $24,000 <br /> towards the purchase and the PCAC has verbally committed to provide $11,000 and an <br /> anonymous donor from the art community has already donated $1,000. The <br /> Harringtons, the community member, and PCAC will be acknowledged on a plaque that <br /> will be placed with the piece for their contributions. <br /> Mr. Seeman has previous experience with working with the City of Pleasanton as he <br /> currently has a public art piece titled "Spiral Motion Ill" that is located at the Firehouse <br /> Arts Center which was acquired in 2010. Since 2005, Mr. Seeman has worked with a <br /> variety of public art committees and commissions and has over 25 pieces on his <br /> resume. He primarily works with the medium of stainless steel, and most of his <br /> sculptures have been installed along the west coast. He comes with great credentials <br /> and has been known to be flexible and easy to work with. <br /> The proposed location has strong visibility from Black Avenue and the art piece will <br /> create a sense of connection to the Cultural Arts Center. The City's art conservator, City <br /> staff, and PASS all believe that the proposed location and installation details will <br /> showcase the artwork and the newly renovated facility. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> The Civic Arts Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission have approved <br /> the aforementioned design and are recommending the design to the City Council for <br /> their review and consideration. Once the design and location are approved and an <br /> agreement with the artist is completed, the artist will have an eight (8) month period to <br /> complete their work. However, that schedule may be lengthened due to inclement <br /> weather or other unforeseen delays. <br /> Submitted by: Fisca Review: Approved by: <br /> , • /79 kk/ _ <br /> Susan Andrade-Wax Tina Olsen Nelson Fialho <br /> Community Services Director Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
