AGENDA TITLE: Authorize City Manager to Execute Agreement with Property Owner for
Watershed Mural at 207 West Oak Street
MEETING DATE: November 1, 2006
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOIAMENDCED ACTION: Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with the
property owner for a watershed mural at 207 West Oak Street.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi has participated in watershed protection and
enhancement activities in a variety of ways. The City currently is
acting as a subcontractor to the San Joaquin Resource
Conservation District in a State Water Resources Control Board
watershed education grant. The mural was earmarked in the grant funding and expenses are
reimbursable if completed by May 2007.
Per the grant, the watershed mural is to be located in a high -traffic public site. Staff has worked with the
Wall Dogs Committee in the location and composition of this mural. The goal is to have the mural be a
high-quality piece of art in keeping with the other Wall Dogs murals downtown. The mural will be painted
on panels and installed on the wall. The work is being done by artist Suzanne Kennedy who has created
previous murals in Lodi, including the PG&E wall on Cherokee Lane and the Lodi Lake nature area
murals. Ms. Kennedy will use the mural creation and its theme as part of the watershed education
program involving local high school students.
The proposed design focuses on both current and historical uses of Lodi Lake. The proposed location is
on the east -facing wall of the building at 207 West Oak Street. The view of this wall from Church Street
is excellent.
The agreement is modeled after the other Wall Dogs agreements and provides that the City will maintain
the mural for ten years.
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated cost of the mural is $20,000. Maintenance costs (if any)
should be minimal after the completion of the mural.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: The cost is already budgeted and is reimbursable as described above.
