AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Appropriating $1,750 from the Art in Public Places Fund for
Heritage School Watershed Mosaic Project
MEETING DATE: April 3, 2013
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution appropriating $1,750 from the Art in Public
Places Fund for Heritage School Watershed Mosaic Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Art Advisory Board seeks to use Art in Public Places funds to
support a mosaic mural project at Heritage School. This mosaic will
be produced by fifth -grade "Earth Keepers Club" under the direction
of the Public Works Department's Watershed Coordinator.
The students were able to spend the 2012-13 school year on several Mokelumne River Watershed study
field trips. Their fifth grade science curriculum highlighted the study of watersheds, waste water
treatment and water cycle in general. This mosaic project would be the "Earth Keeper's" legacy project.
Central to Lodi's eastside is Heritage School. It has become a hub for many activities beyond the school
day. A health clinic, English language classes and an after school childcare program operate on the
campus after hours. The mural will be placed on a wall facing the street so all who pass by can enjoy it.

Subject., APP- January 2013- Agenda request
Hi Deanie and Cathy,
I would like to join the AiPP committee at their January meeting to begin the conversation again
regarding their support for a second ceramic mural at Heritage School. I am planning to complete the
project in April or May 2013.
1 am hoping this second Watershed Mural at Heritage School will be the year end finale for the Stn
grade class that has been working on a yearlong study of the Mokelumne River Watershed. The first
mural was completed in October 2012 by last year's 6th grade class. Thanks to grant funding from the
Lower Mokelumne Partnership, this year's 5th graders were able to go to the SF Bay in November, visit
the Mokelumne River Fish Hatchery in December, and are planning one more trip to the two Lodi water
treatment plants. Our hope is that they become active environmental stewards in their community
through this work.
Starbucks is also a partner in this effort, and I plan to meet with the new regional community work
coordinator tomorrow, to discuss their future involvement in the program. Under the former coordinator,
Tom Allen, local Starbucks employees acted as team leaders at the Lodi lake Coastal Cleanup in
September, 2012. 1 would expect them to join our future fieldtrips and add their help to the mural.
I look forward to working with your group as we build bridges and work together to create art in public
places on the eastside, for the good of the community.
Thanks,
Kathy
