I just call me college. I first would like to call uh the royal.
Let's call the royal Jessica >> present.
Amanda >> present.
Amanda and Shane's here. Y and Mike here.
And Danielle is not here.
All right. Uh to get started, let's say
I to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it
stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice
for all.
We have special presentation. >> You have
» any oral comments? >> No, I don't have any cards.
» I don't know if this is the right place to bring it up, but the um at the
council meeting >> this. Sorry, I this is for members of
the public who are here to comment. So if this is committee member comments,
you want to wait for the end on that. >> Okay.
Wait for it.
A man is president. 54.
No more comments. All business.
All business implementation of FY202627 code support plan and insp of
subcommittees. Okay.
» So if I can just really give you a a brief staff report. Um you'll see the
attachment includes a resolution. This is the resolution that council adopted
including your work plan. The only modification the council made was the
removal of the amphitheater. uh they are supportive of some level of
ad hoc group from the arts and culture committee continuing to give feedback to
staff. Um but they did remove that element. So this evening we would be
looking for the committee to develop how they're going to how we're going to do
this. Um whether that's the establishment of subcommittees or um
whatever that pathway looks like. And then from there the subcommittees can
meet and go through um action and then bring those items back to the committee
as a whole at some point.
» So will we have conversation about that and probably establish a subcommittee
now? So you would want to look at the work
plan as is attached and you u most most commissions and committees will go item
to item and determine how they want them to be um managed. So whether that's a
subcommittee that gets um established or whether it's something that staff can
bring back at some point. So I would just go down the list.
» Item number four, new business. New >> you you'll want to take action on that
though. So this is this is the only item for the agenda tonight. So
» Oh, okay. >> It's attached
to the community.
» Yes.
» All right. First one, project number one, public arts improvements and
installations.
Identify advance opportunities for public art including utility boxes,
murals, artistic crosswalks, status and other installations, development
recommendations for potential projects, locations and partnerships and funding.
Uh says estimated project cost. The cost involved is included and as
city and who's on the south
» did we establish the committee on this one last I think. No, not yet. Oh, so I
think we have >> So you want to Yeah, I don't think we've
established it. I think there was conversations about it, but now that
it's adopted, we can finalize the subcommittee. That would be the goal
tonight. >> I think this is kind of like the
reformation and slight expansion of the utility box committee that existed um
before um but also includes like the mural
space, you know, questions from city council and so forth. and I'm interested
in continuing to serve on that committee um as the only person from the utility
box group that's left >> if if uh there's room for me.
» Sorry, I agree with uh I would like command on that. So I second that
motion. Um I can nominate myself for that this one
as well too and then >> I would love to say
one artist on that. >> Yeah. Yeah, definitely Jessica. Yeah.
» Okay. So, um, >> um,
yeah, it's max of three, right? So, >> max of three, but I I can put forward
that motion. >> Make a motion to get all three on. Well,
you already on >> assuming that there's other ones. Amanda
might want, which I think. Well, actually I just wanted to make a comment
but um regarding the artistic crosswalks and I I did not present it at the last
um arts and culture committee and I think I have a quick PowerPoint
presentation about what I was referring to with our artistic crosswalks and um
Deb can you it's just a brief overview uh really brief.
[clears throat]
Okay. So, just um what I purposely wanted to do is just modify the art and
public spaces policy plan. Next slide, please. And to incorporate in the
installation of public art on crosswalks and public spaces. And originally it was
going to be for the 250th anniversary, but then I thought, how about the 100th
anniversary of the city of Englemen and the Olympics? Um and so basically just
to broaden another art medium for artists to express themselves and it
just um helps with you know inclusivity and uh you know the diversity artistic
or diversity in the urban art display. Next slide please. And so basically this
was just uh you know there was no physical physical impact in just
speaking about this and of course we would be you know looking for funding
and potential funding on that. Um next slide please and then the benefit is
just the idea is to bring forth this for the 100th anniversary of city of St.
Clemeni, Spanish village by the sea and for uh the Olympics to uh demonstrate
our civic pride, our community spirit and just you know uh promote a sense of
belonging and togetherness and I think that would be great for for schools um
organization and artist and basically to promote uh volunteerism
um basically next slide please and it's just for you beautifification and I
think I touched upon Uh in 2018 the the painting uh the Olympics values at Guin
Olympic Village uh where art initiative created during the Olympic Winter Games
uh by Pu Yang Chang on 2018 within the scope of the artists and basically just
led where a lot of artists were able to uh work on this project. So it was
really great that that was able they were able to do that. So, um, and then
they also did the design crosswave treatments. Um, and that was really
great to do, um, to do that as well. I think that was for the Atlanta, um, in
downtown Olympic, uh, downtown Atlanta during the, um, the soccer um, next
slide, please. And they also did painted utility boxes as well, which is really
great. Um, and then let's see. And of course this was just the background that
they already we have the framework for that and just wanted to add that in. Um
and unfortunately I wasn't able to do it for the the patriotic crosswalk but
however this idea also was for the the Olympics of the 100th um anniversary and
someone as a St. Clary resident of over 55 years. um not close there. I mean,
but um I'm halfway there, [snorts] but that's why I just wanted to do that.
Just kind of mention this and because it was something that I had the idea and
through uh other things that other students have done that in Great
Barington and uh Massachusetts and the city of Monterey did that as well for uh
our 250th anniversary. So, I think that's I just wanted to mention that
just to kind of go forward for the people who are going to be on the
subcommittee. Thank you. >> Thanks so much. I just wanted to clarify
for a question I guess for Samantha because I know that's such a compelling
addition and a new possible application and it's already included in the work
plan. So is any further action needed at this time or is that sufficient for you
know the crosswalks to just be um >> yes plan um and it sounds like we have
at three members that are interested in the subcommittee. Would there be um so
all we would be looking for then is a a motion and a second and a vote to for
that those subcommittees the sub subcommittee members to be established.
» Okay. >> So I'll make a motion that we vote
on members.
Yeah. We're on the we're [laughter] proposing ourselves
motion. >> Okay. All in favor?
» I all subcommittee effects.
» Did have a one note on the sort of knock on the submit like on the proposal
demand Q just presented. Um there is a subcommittee on here for you know the
Olympics and centennial planning. So I'm you know that might work better on that
comm. I'm not sure because it's that at least in that mockup was very specific
for the Centennial. So, >> right. And then there was one in in
China for >> that. Right.
» I think in terms of a pool might make more sense, but that's something
» I had the same thought, >> but I guess we'll get to that one in a
little bit anyways. Okay. So, we're in the number two. Yeah.
Project name number two, cultural events and programming purpose, goals and
deliverables projects. Explore and support cultural events and
programming including deo
and your favorite the tamalei festival. Evaluate event concepts, partnerships,
locations and uh resources. So, we're going to need a subcommittee
for that. >> I would love to be on that subcommittee
that first one. Well, yeah, on this arts and culture committee,
» anyone else?
» So, I'll make a motion that uh Amanda committee
» would you be interested in that too? Did you do the I'm trying to think of what
what the committee was before? >> Shane and I
» Yeah, Shane and I was on it last to have the continuity. Um, could I make a
proposal that you're join? >> Yes.
» I'd like to propose that Sherman also [laughter]
» I second. >> I think Yeah, definitely.
» We Is there just Can we just do two on that one? We don't have to have three,
but Right. Yeah. Cuz then I'll just propose you to handle. That's That works
for me now. >> Okay. We last night.
» Yeah. And yeah, it's perfect. >> You could also I know we have a
committee member who's absent but >> Oh, you may volunteer.
» How many you can?
It seems like >> she does have a she has a pretty big
background and um marketing and I believe
» branding and things like that. So, >> sure. She's getting the emails.
» Okay. >> I dominate proposals.
I think we should nominate nominate Daniel.
» Yeah. Okay. >> Yeah, absolutely.
» I take a vote. All in favor of uh the new member on this subcommittee would be
Amanda and Daniel. I'm I'm already on. >> So, you have Do we have a motion for a
vote? >> I'll put forward a motion to have
Sherman, uh Danielle, and Amanda Q on the subcommittee for cultural events and
programming. >> Thank you.
Yes. Yes. >> All in favor?
» I >> I
take >> I just wanted to talk briefly about
this. Um I the reason why this was you know the the
proposal was just honoring the Hispanic Latino tradition and of course the
Spanish village by the sea and just to be inclusive of the foods that and
cultural roots that go back uh decades. And then the the mission of the town
like this is to celebrate the Latino culture support local businesses and the
tri city level and bring the community together during the holiday season. As
someone who lives at M by Mford Park, I thought, you know, this is a great way
to uh encourage and support our Latino community. And as a Latino, I really
appreciate that. [snorts] And then um I had mentioned before u my background was
that my family would make, you know, tamales and the type of tamales that we
would make is um with uh banana leaf. So it was really interesting. Yeah. So it
was um one of the things that uh was really special and you would give out to
to neighbors and that but uh the fiscal impact of the phys we would you know
look into that as a subcommittee. Um, and then as far as any partnerships like
such as the Gina Point Chamber of Commerce and maybe possibly our Chamber
of Commerce and and other and and also restaurants and I have not been able to
do that because I didn't want to I wanted to avoid the brand act violation
and then of course it just would be it would be beneficial to our city to be
inclusive and uh ideal for organizations and to promote uh small businesses like
uh restaurants like I know Siesta had closed and I think they're um you know
going through some you know things to do that so that I know that they're doing
um their catering and I have not presented to them but just thinking an
idea just from businesses >> absolutely so um I just think that it
would be a great thing there's other places like um Plantia that's been doing
it for 33 years that's [snorts] been doing unit since 1996 and whether it
starts small and just grows but I think that financially that if we get support
from the tri city area that that would be really great to do. So hopefully
fingers crossed and let's see it's the beginning of something. So thank you
appreciate it.
Okay, number three. Um, moving on to number three would be
funding, partnerships and scholarships. Purpose
» sponsorship and sponsorship um purpose, goals and deliverables and projects.
Identify grants, scholarships, sponsorships, partnerships, and other
outside resources to support arts and culture programming and projects.
Okay. I'd like to work on this one. Uh I'd
been doing some work on the amphitheater and I'd started looking at funding and
over the weekend I I did some more research and came up with a number of
other new ideas that might be a starting point for the subcommittee
to see what's worthwhile. And they're they're items for um a lot of them are
for more structural things like the amphitheater, but there's there's other
u uh avenues for like art installations and and so forth that might work. So I'm
interested in working on this one.
» I'd be interested in turning Mike on this one. Not not because I think I have
a like the answer to it, but for the utility box project, we successfully
raised both um local nonprofit support for one of them and from local
restaurant private sector support. So as a pilot of you know ways to get
sponsorships um those both were successful and I've been watching the
California um grant support for community based organizations and you
know reached out to the plate collaborators and the historical society
about opportunities that came up and I'm happy to continue serving um in that
role. Samantha, I'd love some maybe guidance when we see opportunities from
you, like what role the city can have related to a local organization and
whether we could ever co-apply or just, you know, support somebody else in in
applying, you know, when the city is applicant, when the committee is the
applicant or when the local organization is applicant. I don't really understand
the like the rules about that stuff. >> Yeah. Um, and I I think it's case by
case basis. It depends on the dollar amount and the the agency funding
source. Yeah. So that's something the sub the subcommittee could certainly
understand that >> absolutely guidance.
» Is there any other interest in this group from anyone else?
» Yes. Me would like to be honest too. I had
mentioned this in other meetings we had in the past about uh grants, you know,
getting grants grants for the projects that we have here in the city. And uh
yeah, >> I can uh put forward a motion
Sherman, Amanda Greco, and Michael as the committee subcommittee members of
the funding partnerships and sponsorships. I second motion. Okay.
» All in favor? I oppose.
Number four, Olympic Sentinel planning purpose, goals, and deliverables of
projects. Identify arts, cultural, historical, and community programs,
opportunities associated with city's centennial, and 2028 Olympic Games.
» I would love to be on this. Absolutely. Yeah, I would also
[laughter] >> Okay, I think everybody wants to be on
this one. >> Not me.
» Okay, so we're going to have Michael. I I be interested in it then.
» I'm fine if those three are interested. I'm I'm okay not being
on it. >> Okay. Okay.
» So, I like to make a motion. Michael, Amanda, and Shane.
» Amanda Q. >> Amanda Q
» to be on uh this committee. >> All in favor?
» I second. >> All in favor?
» I second.
Uh number five, my work annual work plan. um purpose, goals, deliverables or
projects promote collaboration related to San Clement's historical and cultural
resources, including opportunities for interpretation,
exhibits, education, preservation, awareness, and community
partnerships.
Oh, I was just going to say that um I wanted just to full disclosure for
transparency. I am a current board member of the St. Clinton Historical
Society and I spoke to the city manager recently. So, I just wanted to put that
out there. So, I just, you know, wanted to let people know.
» Oh, they were no comp.
» Are you compensating? >> No, there's no Yeah.
» But I'm not I'm not going to be on that. But yeah,
» I was actually wondering whether there'd be an advantage to that because you
would be in the, you know, conversations about strategic goals for the historical
society and then be able to bring that to bear in the I don't know. I mean, it
doesn't it seems to me like it might just
be on it, >> right? No, I just wanted a full
disclosure. I just wanted to make sure I don't know. Yeah, Daniel's not here. I
don't know if anybody else would want to. So, I just wanted to let you know he
» Oh, Daniel's not here. Well, nominate Daniel. I would be I would
» say your teaching background be happy to be on it. I I do think it
would be beneficial to have you on it as well.
» Okay. Great. Thank you. I appreciate that.
» And Danielle >> and Daniel,
» I can make you go back. >> Yeah.
» Sorry. Thank you. >> I can make a motion uh that
Jessa, Danielle, and Amanda be on subcommittee.
I send that one. All in favor? >> I oppose.
All right.
Um Samantha, a quick quick question. And in the event that um that Danielle we
nominated a couple of these committees if there's you know the attendance is
maybe an issue on those ones do can we always reappoint someone else at that at
a later stage or >> Yes you certainly could you could I
guess yeah we'll just cross that >> when we get
uh number six
that number
Thank you, Dr. You're on the submitt. >> So, you're on to Yeah. six items from
committee members. Future number six items from committee members. Um I think
Michael, this is where you could you have something you want to.
» Well, I guess the uh uh this about participating on the ad hoc basis on the
amphitheater. I just like some guidance about u what the parameters with that
would be. Am I free to call up the city manager or or um
will somebody go forward and ask them to >> Yeah, I can um I can connect you. It's
it's a at this point it's really managed within the staff internal level. Um but
it's it's coming out of the city manager's office in collaboration with
myself and a couple of other departments. So let me connect you with
that person. >> Okay.
» Yeah, I have some similar topics on that too. So I would probably
maybe work with the city manager on that as well. So some ideas that
» I would how do we for that there's some input from you.
uh how do you see us going about really uh going to ad hoc subcommittee and
giving our input you know as a ad hoc subcommittee?
» Yeah. And because it's not on your work plan, it's not going to be a formal
subcommittee. Um my recommendation is if each individual committee member has an
an idea, you're welcome to email that to myself and the city manager. Um we can
manage it that way. Um, but to avoid any kind of Brown Act violation or having
any conversation about it, I think it's best if it's just committee member to
staff member. Um, I don't know if everybody has an interest in this topic,
but if there is a opportunity to come back for for feedback, I think the goal
is staff is going to present something to the city council just based on an
internal discussion um and kind of planning um and then council can give
further direction from there after that exploratory.
» Okay. And that's that was my remain concern what you just mentioned because
of the Brown Act, you know, cuz we're talking outside of a meeting about that,
» right? and you don't want to talk to each other about it by any means. Um,
but you could certainly as a member of the public have an opinion on or a
thought and that it's okay to share that. I would just be weary of talking
to each other about it. >> Okay. Awesome.
Anyone else have any other >> I'm just uh wondering so what on these
subcommittees we've just established uh what's the next step? Does each
subcommittee collaborate somehow to uh
when they're going to get together and talk or or
» Yeah, you would um you would want to coordinate with each other on um your
next steps and your your first going forward action. Um and if there's a need
to involve staff, you can reach out to myself and Debbie and we'll um try to
support you guys however we can.
Are there any further comments? Anyway, any thing you want to bring up?
Yes. >> If there are no further items from
committee members, uh we move the number seven. Item number seven to adjourn. So,
I'd like to make a motion that uh we adjourn the meeting until October 26,
2026 at 5:00. Okay. This meeting is adjourned.
Do we have to? >> Yeah, I do need a second. So, I don't
need a second. I'll second. >> Okay, I'll repeat this meeting is
all in favor. I thank you.
Appreciate
