TO: JEFFREY C. PARKER, CITY MANAGER
FROM: DAVID A. WILSON, DIRECTOR, PARKS & RECREATION SERVICES
SUBJECT: LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR INSTALLATION OF ARTWORK ON
PUBLIC PROPERTY
SUMMARY:
Since the completion of Citrus Ranch Park in 2009, the Tustin Community Foundation
(TCF) and the Citrus Ranch Park Ad-Hoc Committee have been actively planning and
fundraising to complete the Citrus Ranch Park Art Wall Project. The TCF is seeking
approval of a License Agreement to create and install the artwork at Citrus Ranch Park.
The License Agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney's office and approved
to farm.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the final design and License Agreement for Installation of Artwork on Public
Property.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact. The installation of the Citrus Ranch Park Art Wall is funded with
private donations gifted to the TCF Partners in Parks Program.
BACKGROUND:
Citrus Ranch Park was developed with a masonry entry wall specifically designed to
host a community art project. For the past two years, a dedicated group of volunteers
comprised of members from the Community Services Commission, the Tustin Area
Council for Fine Arts (TACFA), and the TCF have been diligently working in the
community to privately fund the project and equitably select a competent artist to
complete the artwork.
In 2011, the TCF and the Citrus Ranch Park Ad-Hoc Committee reached their fund-
raising goal of $7,500 to move the project forward. To obtain their monetary goal, the
volunteers sold lemonade for two summers at the Concerts in the Park held in
Peppertree Park and hosted events in the community to promote and raise capital for
the project. Direct donations from businesses, service clubs and individuals also
contributed to the final total of $11,115. The remaining balance of $3,615 could be used
for future parklart projects.
This past summer local artists were solicited through a public proposal process led by
the TCF to determine a suitable artist to design and complete the artwork. Through the
process, six proposals were submitted by artists, and Mr. Michael Tauber of Laguna
Beach was unanimously selected by the TCF and the Ad-Hoc Committee to create the
artwork.
The final design is a 4' x 24' mural hand painted on fine art tiles which will decorate the
entire project area with a scene depicting the view from the park's hilltop gazebo. The
concept was reviewed and unanimously approved by the Community Services
Commission at their regular meeting on November 16, 2011, for installation at Citrus
Ranch Park Entry Wall. Now, the TCF is seeking approval through a License
Agreement to complete the artwork at Citrus Ranch Park.
As per the License Agreement, upon completion of the project, the art piece will become
the sole property of the City of Tustin. After final approval of the file installation, the
artwork will be sealed to mitigate vandalism and the artist will guarantee his work with a
one-year warranty. The artwork at Citrus Ranch Park is scheduled to be completed this
spring.
Please review the attached proposed artwork and information regarding the artist.
Respectfully submitted,
Cavid .Wilson
