AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Art in Public Places Funding for Traffic Control Box Art
Project and Appropriating Funds ($500)
MEETING DATE: September 19,2012
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Interim Director
RECOMMENDEDACTION: Adopt resolution approving Art in Public Places funding for traffic
control box art project and appropriating funds in the amount of
$500.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Art Advisory Board seeks ways to bring art to the public
through the Art in Public Places Fund, which is funded by
the development impact mitigationfee program.
Utility boxes are used for public artwork in some other California cities, such as Santa Cruz and San
Jose. In March, the Board discussed opportunitiesto decorate Lodi's utility boxes in a similarfashion.
Transportation Manager Paula Fernandez attended the group's May meeting and endorsed the idea of
using traffic control boxes as canvases for public art. The Board voted at that meeting to approve using
AiPP funds for that purpose.
Examples of painted utility boxes are attached.
Five sites have been selected for the first phase of the art project. They are the traffic control boxes at the
corners of:
■ Mills and Turner roads
■ Lower Sacramento Road and Lodi Avenue
■ Pine Street and Cherokee Lane
■ Hale Road and Cherokee Lane
■ Costco corner at Harney Lane and Reynolds Ranch Parkway
Electric Utility boxes containing switches or padmount transformers are not suitable for this project
because they require a special non-conductive paint for safety purposes.
A call to artists will take place following City Council approval. Submitted designs will be reviewed and
selected by the Art Advisory Board. Each design group will be given up to $100 for painting supplies.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not to exceed $500.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: $168,000 asief June 30,2012 in acct. 01214.
