LGTQIA+ Director Dunleavy stated that there are several parts to this item. Crosswalk-Public Works stated that over the next 5 years 1st Street will be resurfaced so it is recommended that this item be pulled until the street is complete. Sidewalk –While it is possible to paint a sidewalk (the corridor between the Library and the Bocce Courts has been suggested) it is still the opinion of City staff that a mural would have the most lasting impact, would be more cost effective, could be completed with less time and would require less maintenance. The new suggested location is the north facing, brick wall of the City Gymnasium.

AGENDA ITEM ARTS & CULTURE COMMISSION MEETING DATE – 02/06/2025 BUSINESS ITEM TO : ARTS & CULTURE COMMISSION FROM : Ann Dunleavy, Community Services Director SUBJECT : EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Commission’s enabling ordinance does not allow the Commission to extend Officer terms beyond one year; thus, requiring an annual election for officers. The Commission may, by election, select Commissioners to serve consecutive terms. The enabling ordinance does not require two separate elections for the two officer positions. It is the discretion of the Commission to hold joint or separate elections for the positions of Chair and Vice Chair. Following the election, the selected commissioners will assume office at the first meeting, February 6, 2025. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Commission move to nominate and elect officers for the positions of Chair and Vice Chair for a term of one year, from January 2025 to December 2025. BUDGET INFORMATION: Not applicable. BACKGROUND: Per the Brown Act, the Commission, must hold open elections. To facilitate this, the Chair will open the floor for nominations. At that time Commissioners may nominate a member for the designated office. After nominations have ceased, the Chair will close nominations and proceed with elections. No seconds are required for nominations. If there is only one nomination, then that nomination may be approved by acclimation without a vote, the Commission Secretary will announce this result. If there are multiple nominations, then the Chair shall conduct an election in the order the nominations were offered. The election may occur by voice vote, meaning the chair will ask “all in favor of Commissioner X”, then ask “all opposed”. If there are a majority of “Ayes” than that Commissioner is elected. If the “No’s” are in the majority, then the Chair will move to the next nominated Commissioner. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: None. ELECTION OF CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR 10

TO : Arts and Culture Commission (ACC) FROM : Ann Dunleavy, Director of Community Services Jennifer Baker, City Librarian SUBJECT : EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On November 19, 2024, ACC made the recommendation to City Council to move forward with a public art project celebrating LGBTQIA+ and other contributions from our diverse community. The ACC recommendation was focused on pursuing a mural but a location for the mural had not yet been finalized. The project was approved in concept by City Council on November 19, 2024, with the understanding that funding for the project would be raised independently. Further direction was given to continue exploration of possible sidewalk or crosswalk art that could be incorporated into the project as well. Staff has explored several options and is now seeking direction from ACC for next steps. RECOMMENDATION: Receive an update from staff and vote on a preferred direction for implementation of this project. Background: In 2023, led by former Councilmember Tom Campbell, City Council directed staff to work with the ACC to explore a public art opportunity to recognize and celebrate the LQBTQIA+ community. Primary focus was on the idea of a painted crosswalk but other forms such as a mural or sculpture were suggested. Following a multi-month process involving an Ad Hoc Committee that worked with leaders of the LGBTQIA+ community to explore options, the ACC made the recommendation to Council to pursue mural celebrating LGBTQIA+ and other contributions from our diverse community. Further direction from Council at that time requested additional exploration of less expensive options for crosswalk or sidewalk painting Christina Gilpin-Hayes, a community member and participant in the ACC Ad Hoc Committee that spearheaded this project, has made a verbal commitment to coordinate fundraising. ACTION ITEM: Update and request for direction for on LGBTQIA+ Mural/Crosswalk-Sidewalk Art. AGENDA ITEM Ars & Culture Commission – FEBRUARY 6, 2025 Action Item 12

Update: Staff have continued to explore options for either a painted sidewalk or crosswalk. At this time, it is still the recommendation from staff that the primary project be pursued as a mural. Installation of a crosswalk would require more than just painting. Even were we to move forward with a painted crosswalk project that foregoes using the expensive, heat-sealed paint recommended to prevent short-term damage to the artwork, any changes to an existing crosswalk would trigger the requirement to update curbs and ADA access ramps. This requirement could only be bypassed if an existing crosswalk that is already up to current code and ADA standards was identified for painting. Public Works conducted a review of streets in the downtown area and determined there are no crosswalks that meet that description. With the passage of Measure F, the City is drafting a 5-year plan to update most of First Street, meaning that an opportunity to install a painted crosswalk without incurring the additional unfunded cost of updating curbs, etc. could be identified within the next five years. While it is still possible to paint a sidewalk (the corridor between the Library and the Bocce Courts has been suggested), it is still the opinion of City staff that a mural would have the most lasting impact, would be more cost effective, could be completed with less time, and would require less maintenance. If the ACC wishes to move forward with the sidewalk painting in conjunction with the mural, it is the recommendation of staff that this portion of the project be considered secondary to the mural and that it only be pursued if sufficient funding for the mural can be secured first. Staff researched best practices for mural installations and determined that the best option would be to install a pretreated, metal “canvas and frame” to the identified wall which would then be painted. This method of mural installation provides for a result that will be weather and tamper resistant and can be maintained with minimal effort and ongoing cost. The cost of an 8’x10’ piece, including all materials and installation is approximately $10,000. This does not include the cost of paint or any artist fees. A larger, custom-sized frame can be installed if desired and if sufficient funding is raised. Further review of the suggested mural location (south wall of the Fire Station adjacent to City Park) eliminated this site because the shingle siding cannot be pierced without compromising the integrity of the building. The new suggested location is the north- facing, brick wall of the City Gymnasium (to the right of the entrance). Next Steps:  Confirm plans to pursue a mural at the new location using the metal “canvas and frame” components. Confirm desired mural size to obtain a quote for materials.  Confirm whether the secondary sidewalk art piece will be pursued in addition to a mural. Confirm location and size to obtain a quote for materials.  Confirm direction for commissioning artwork: student artist(s) or professional artist(s). The Ad Hoc Committee has suggested that the design and painting could be commissioned of students through the Benicia High School art 13

department. This option would likely be less expensive than commissioning a professional artist.  Develop a budget for commissioning the artwork.  Get a written commitment from Christina Gilpin-Hayes, or another individual, for fundraising.  When sufficient funds have been raised and deposited with the City, o We will return to City Council for project approval and a budget amendment so materials can be ordered and installed at the mural site. o ACC will begin the process for artist(s)/art selection through the regular Public Art Process, including the creation of a Public Art Selection Committee. The Public Art Selection Committee will make a design recommendation to ACC which will in turn accept or reject the recommendation. If accepted, the ACC’s recommendation will go to City Council for final approval whereupon the art may be commissioned. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: The Arts and Culture Commission may choose any of the following alternatives: 1. Confirm direction: type of art a. Mural only b. Sidewalk only c. Mural and Sidewalk 2. Confirm direction: location of art a. Mural at City Gym as described b. Sidewalk between Library and Bocce Courts as described 3. Confirm direction: a. Commission professional artist(s) b. Commission student artist(s) 4. Table decisions until the next meeting to allow the Ad Hoc Committee to be reconvened for input. Attachment: 1. Image—proposed location for mural. 14
