The Hope and Promise mural would be <br />installed as a temporary piece due to its construction and value. The estimated value of the <br />mural is $4,000. With 46 permanent works in the City of Pleasanton’s public art collection, <br />each piece averages approximately $22,000 in value, and permanent pieces are constructed <br />of materials designed for longevity and community use. The frame will be a permanent fixture, <br />designed to allow the artwork to be replaced when it reaches the end of its lifespan. <br /> <br />In accordance with the PMC process for gifts and loans of public art displayed in public places, <br />the City will secure documentation establishing the donor as the clear and unencumbered <br />titleholder of the artwork and will obtain a release letter from the donor for the City to deaccess <br />the artwork in the future. Additionally, the City will collaborate with PCAC and the Rotary Club <br />of Pleasanton to develop plans for the maintenance and eventual replacement of the artwork <br />at the end of its lifespan, incorporating these details into the formal documentation. <br /> <br />EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br />The public art program strives to align art projects with funding and staffing resources, as well <br />as to identify projects that celebrate diversity and would be enjoyed by all residents and visitors <br />in Pleasanton. <br /> <br />OUTREACH <br />Staff received input and recommendations from the Civic Arts and Parks and Recreation <br />Commissions in developing this recommendation. <br /> <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />This action advances the ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan goal of Investing in Our <br />Environment: Infrastructure, Public Facilities and Sustainability, Strategy 7 – Continue to invest <br />in parks, bicycle, and pedestrian infrastructure, and public art. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The Hope and Promise Mural and frame is a proposed donation made in collaboration with <br />Nancy and Gary Harrington, the Pleasanton Cultural Arts Council (PCAC), and the Rotary Club <br />of Pleasanton. The Harringtons will donate installation costs, with the construction of the metal <br />frame coordinated through a partnership between PCAC and the City, funded by a grant from <br />the Rotary Club of Pleasanton. Ongoing maintenance will only be required in the event of <br />vandalism and will be funded through the City’s General Fund for Maintenance and <br />Conservation in the Civic Arts Admin account 00150400-430107. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 272 of 893
