AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Seward Johnson Sculpture Exhibit and Traffic Control
Box Art Project and Appropriating Funds ($39,500)
MEETING DATE: November 6, 2013
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving Seward Johnson Sculpture and Traffic
Control Box Art Project and appropriate funds in the amount of
$39,500.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Art Advisory Board seeks ways to bring art to the public through
the Art in Public Places (AiPP) Fund, which is funded by the
development impact mitigation fee program.
The Art Advisory Board recommends using AiPP funds to repeat two projects that have previously been
successful. In 2011, AiPP funds paid for a three-month exhibit of Seward Johnson sculpture exhibits in
downtown Lodi at a total cost of $30,000. Earlier in 2013, AiPP funds were expended for artists to paint
five traffic signal control boxes at a cost of $500.
The AiPP committee has selected eight of the 10 life-sized sculptures it wishes to display in downtown
Lodi from April 15 to July 15, with two more to be determined. The costs of the exhibits has increased
slightly, so an appropriation of $35,000 is requested. This exhibit will offer opportunities for press in local
and outlying areas resulting in attracting many visitors to Lodi.
Phase one and two of the Traffic Control Box Art project proved successful, with positive public response.
Five signal boxes have been painted. The Art Advisory Board desires to expand the project, and the
Public Works Department has identified 15 boxes that would be suitable for painting. The Art Advisory
Board wishes to pay artists $300 for each of the 15 boxes for a total appropriation of $4,500. A call to
artists will take place following City Council approval. Submitted designs will be reviewed and selected by
the Art Advisory Board.
FISCAL IMPACT: $39,500 from the Art in Public Places Fund
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Account No. P14 ($176,482)
