RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution 24-85 approving the design for
the Centennial Park Handball Wall Mural, which was created via a public input process

FISCAL IMPACT:
The artist will be paid $10,000 upon completion of the wall mural, which leaves the

CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
This public art project is in accordance with Goal A of the Tustin Strategic Plan to
enhance the vibrancy and quality of life in all neighborhoods and areas of the community.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
At their May 2024 meeting, the Public Art Commission approved a community engagement
mural on the Centennial Park handball wall as the first public art project for the 2024-2025
fiscal year. The Commission also requested that staff reach out to artists who had
previously submitted proposals for other public art projects to gauge their interest in

community engagement meetings to gather input specifically from the Tustin Meadows
community.
In the first meeting, attendees were invited to share perspectives on what makes
Centennial Park and the Tustin Meadows neighborhood unique. At the conclusion of the
meeting, participants voted on key themes to be represented in the mural, selecting
"community" and "nature."
At the second meeting, Ms. Roque presented three preliminary concepts based on the
community's input. Attendees provided feedback on these concepts and selected a
preferred option, enabling her to refine and develop this concept further.
In the final meeting, Ms. Roque unveiled a color rendering of the proposed mural.
Additional constructive feedback from this meeting was incorporated to create the finalized
mural concept, reflecting the community's vision and values.
Staff estimates that the Centennial Park mural will be completed by March 2025, and will
be in place along with the current renovations in progress when the park is reopened to
the public.
