THE CITY OF _ _ _ 6 1 AS�4NTON. CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT March 7, 2017 Community Services TITLE: APPROVE THE DONATION AND LOCATION OF THE PUBLIC ARTWORK, "AMERICAN DOG" AT CUBBY'S DOG PARK SUMMARY On December 6, 2011 at its regular meeting, City Council approved the purchase of several public art pieces as part of the Harrington Public Art Acquisition Plan Phase II. Six (6) of the pieces approved in this phase are yet to be donated to the City. Due to the time that has passed since original approval, the Harringtons have indicated that for a variety of reasons, it is becoming increasingly more and more difficult to donate the remaining pre-approved pieces. At a meeting in October 2014, the City agreed to allow the Harringtons to find suitable replacements for the remaining six (6) pieces. The Harringtons would like to donate "American Dog," a Cor-Ten steel replica of a dog to be installed at Cubby's Dog Park located at 3200 West Lagoon Road, instead of one of the remaining pre-approved six (6) pieces. In accordance with the City's Public Art Program, `American Dog", was approved by the Public Art Selection Subcommittee on October 14, 2016, the Civic Arts Commission on November 7, 2016 and the Parks and Recreation Commission on January 12, 2017. All commissions recommended this donation and location be forwarded to the City Council for their review and consideration.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION That the City Council review and approve the location of the public artwork, "American Dog", at the entrance of Cubby's Dog Park at Bernal located at 3200 West Lagoon Road.
