[0:02] I just call me college. [0:05] I first would like to call uh the royal. [0:07] Let's call the royal Jessica [0:09] » Present. [0:14] Amanda [0:16] » Present. [0:18] Amanda [0:20] and Shane's here. Y and Mike here. [0:26] And Danielle is not here. [0:32] All right. Uh to get started, let's say [0:42] I to the flag of the United States of [0:46] America and to the republic for which it [0:49] stands. One nation under God, [0:52] indivisible, with liberty and justice [0:54] for all. [1:02] We have special presentation. [1:06] » You have [1:10] » Any oral comments? [1:12] » No, I don't have any cards. [1:14] » I don't know if this is the right place [1:16] to bring it up, but the um at the [1:20] council meeting [1:21] » This. Sorry, I this is for members of [1:22] the public who are here to comment. So [1:24] if this is committee member comments, [1:26] you want to wait for the end on that. [1:27] » Okay. [1:33] Wait for it. [1:41] A man is president. 54. [1:48] No more comments. All business. [1:52] All business implementation of FY202627 [1:57] code support plan and insp of [2:00] subcommittees. [2:03] Okay. [2:04] » So if I can just really give you a a [2:05] brief staff report. Um you'll see the [2:07] attachment includes a resolution. This [2:09] is the resolution that council adopted [2:11] including your work plan. The only [2:12] modification the council made was the [2:14] removal of the amphitheater. [2:16] uh they are supportive of some level of [2:19] ad hoc group from the arts and culture [2:21] committee continuing to give feedback to [2:24] staff. Um but they did remove that [2:26] element. So this evening we would be [2:28] looking for the committee to develop how [2:32] they're going to how we're going to do [2:33] this. Um whether that's the [2:35] establishment of subcommittees or um [2:37] whatever that pathway looks like. And [2:39] then from there the subcommittees can [2:41] meet and go through um action and then [2:44] bring those items back to the committee [2:46] as a whole at some point. [2:52] » So will we have conversation about that [2:55] and probably establish a subcommittee [2:57] now? [3:00] So you would want to look at the work [3:01] plan as is attached and you u most most [3:04] commissions and committees will go item [3:06] to item and determine how they want them [3:08] to be um managed. So whether that's a [3:11] subcommittee that gets um established or [3:13] whether it's something that staff can [3:15] bring back at some point. So I would [3:17] just go down the list. [3:23] » Item number four, new business. New [3:26] » You you'll want to take action on that [3:28] though. So this is this is the only item [3:30] for the agenda tonight. So [3:31] » Oh, okay. [3:32] » It's attached [3:36] to [3:38] the community. [3:40] » Yes. [3:44] » All right. First one, project number [3:45] one, public arts improvements and [3:48] installations. [3:53] Identify advance opportunities for [3:55] public art including utility boxes, [3:58] murals, artistic crosswalks, status and [4:00] other installations, development [4:02] recommendations for potential projects, [4:05] locations and partnerships and funding. [4:08] Uh says estimated project cost. [4:13] The cost involved is included and as [4:15] city [4:17] and who's on the south [4:19] » Did we establish the committee on this [4:21] one last I think. No, not yet. Oh, so I [4:24] think we have [4:24] » So you want to Yeah, I don't think we've [4:26] established it. I think there was [4:27] conversations about it, but now that [4:28] it's adopted, we can finalize the [4:30] subcommittee. That would be the goal [4:32] tonight. [4:32] » I think this is kind of like the [4:34] reformation and slight expansion of the [4:37] utility box committee that existed um [4:40] before [4:42] um but also includes like the mural [4:45] space, you know, questions from city [4:46] council and so forth. and I'm interested [4:48] in continuing to serve on that committee [4:50] um as the only person from the utility [4:53] box group that's left [4:54] » If if uh there's room for me. [4:57] » Sorry, I agree with uh I would like [5:00] command on that. So I second that [5:03] motion. Um [5:05] I can nominate myself for that this one [5:08] as well too and then [5:10] » I would love to say [5:13] one artist on that. [5:14] » Yeah. Yeah, definitely Jessica. Yeah. [5:17] » Okay. So, um, [5:20] » Um, [5:22] yeah, it's max of three, right? So, [5:24] » Max of three, but I I can put forward [5:27] that motion. [5:28] » Make a motion to get all three on. Well, [5:31] you already on [5:32] » Assuming that there's other ones. Amanda [5:34] might want, which I think. Well, [5:36] actually I just wanted to make a comment [5:38] but um regarding the artistic crosswalks [5:41] and I I did not present it at the last [5:44] um arts and culture committee and I [5:47] think I have a quick PowerPoint [5:48] presentation about what I was referring [5:51] to with our artistic crosswalks and um [5:54] Deb can you it's just a brief overview [5:57] uh really brief. [6:01] [clears throat] [6:04] Okay. So, just um what I purposely [6:07] wanted to do is just modify the art and [6:08] public spaces policy plan. Next slide, [6:10] please. And to incorporate in the [6:14] installation of public art on crosswalks [6:16] and public spaces. And originally it was [6:18] going to be for the 250th anniversary, [6:21] but then I thought, how about the 100th [6:23] anniversary of the city of Englemen and [6:25] the Olympics? Um and so basically just [6:29] to broaden another art medium for [6:31] artists to express themselves and it [6:34] just um helps with you know inclusivity [6:37] and uh you know the diversity artistic [6:40] or diversity in the urban art display. [6:42] Next slide please. And so basically this [6:45] was just uh you know there was no [6:47] physical physical impact in just [6:50] speaking about this and of course we [6:52] would be you know looking for funding [6:54] and potential funding on that. Um next [6:57] slide please and then the benefit is [7:00] just the idea is to bring forth this for [7:04] the 100th anniversary of city of St. [7:07] Clemeni, Spanish village by the sea and [7:09] for uh the Olympics to uh demonstrate [7:13] our civic pride, our community spirit [7:16] and just you know uh promote a sense of [7:18] belonging and togetherness and I think [7:21] that would be great for for schools um [7:24] organization and artist and basically to [7:27] promote uh volunteerism [7:29] um basically next slide please and it's [7:33] just for you beautifification and I [7:35] think I touched upon Uh in 2018 the the [7:39] painting uh the Olympics values at Guin [7:43] Olympic Village uh where art initiative [7:46] created during the Olympic Winter Games [7:48] uh by Pu Yang Chang on 2018 within the [7:51] scope of the artists and basically just [7:54] led where a lot of artists were able to [7:58] uh work on this project. So it was [8:00] really great that that was able they [8:02] were able to do that. So, um, and then [8:06] they also did the design crosswave [8:08] treatments. Um, and that was really [8:10] great to do, um, to do that as well. I [8:13] think that was for the Atlanta, um, in [8:15] downtown Olympic, uh, downtown Atlanta [8:18] during the, um, the soccer um, next [8:23] slide, please. And they also did painted [8:25] utility boxes as well, which is really [8:27] great. Um, and then let's see. And of [8:31] course this was just the background that [8:33] they already we have the framework for [8:35] that and just wanted to add that in. Um [8:39] and unfortunately I wasn't able to do it [8:40] for the the patriotic crosswalk but [8:44] however this idea also was for the the [8:46] Olympics of the 100th um anniversary and [8:50] someone as a St. Clary resident of over [8:51] 55 years. um not close there. I mean, [8:55] but um I'm halfway there, [snorts] but [8:57] that's why I just wanted to do that. [8:59] Just kind of mention this and because it [9:01] was something that I had the idea and [9:04] through uh other things that other [9:06] students have done that in Great [9:08] Barington and uh Massachusetts and the [9:11] city of Monterey did that as well for uh [9:14] our 250th anniversary. So, I think [9:16] that's I just wanted to mention that [9:18] just to kind of go forward for the [9:20] people who are going to be on the [9:21] subcommittee. Thank you. [9:24] » Thanks so much. I just wanted to clarify [9:27] for a question I guess for Samantha [9:30] because I know that's such a compelling [9:31] addition and a new possible application [9:33] and it's already included in the work [9:34] plan. So is any further action needed at [9:36] this time or is that sufficient for you [9:39] know the crosswalks to just be um [9:42] » Yes plan um and it sounds like we have [9:46] at three members that are interested in [9:48] the subcommittee. Would there be um so [9:51] all we would be looking for then is a a [9:53] motion and a second and a vote to for [9:55] that those subcommittees the sub [9:57] subcommittee members to be established. [9:59] » Okay. [10:01] » So I'll make a motion that we vote [10:04] on members. [10:11] Yeah. We're on the we're [laughter] [10:13] proposing ourselves [10:17] motion. [10:18] » Okay. All in favor? [10:20] » I all [10:23] subcommittee effects. [10:25] » Did have a one note on the sort of knock [10:28] on the submit like on the proposal [10:30] demand Q just presented. Um there is a [10:33] subcommittee on here for you know the [10:35] Olympics and centennial planning. So I'm [10:38] you know that might work better on that [10:41] comm. I'm not sure because it's that at [10:42] least in that mockup was very specific [10:44] for the Centennial. So, [10:46] » Right. And then there was one in in [10:48] China for [10:49] » That. Right. [10:52] » I think in terms of a pool might make [10:54] more sense, but that's something [10:58] » I had the same thought, [11:00] » But I guess we'll get to that one in a [11:02] little bit anyways. Okay. [11:05] So, we're in the number two. Yeah. [11:09] Project name number two, cultural events [11:12] and programming purpose, goals and [11:14] deliverables projects. [11:17] Explore and support cultural events and [11:20] programming including deo [11:28] and your favorite the tamalei festival. [11:31] Evaluate event concepts, partnerships, [11:34] locations and uh resources. [11:37] So, we're going to need a subcommittee [11:38] for that. [11:39] » I would love to be on that subcommittee [11:41] that first one. Well, yeah, on this arts [11:45] and culture committee, [11:47] » Anyone else? [11:51] » So, I'll make a motion that uh Amanda [11:55] committee [11:56] » Would you be interested in that too? Did [11:57] you do the I'm trying to think of what [11:59] what the committee was before? [12:01] » Shane and I [12:02] » Yeah, Shane and I was on it last to have [12:05] the continuity. Um, could I make a [12:08] proposal that you're join? [12:10] » Yes. [12:13] » I'd like to propose that Sherman also [12:16] [laughter] [12:19] » I second. [12:21] » I think Yeah, definitely. [12:24] » We Is there just Can we just do two on [12:26] that one? We don't have to have three, [12:28] but Right. Yeah. Cuz then I'll just [12:30] propose you to handle. That's That works [12:32] for me now. [12:33] » Okay. We last night. [12:35] » Yeah. And yeah, it's perfect. [12:37] » You could also I know we have a [12:38] committee member who's absent but [12:40] » Oh, you may volunteer. [12:46] » How many you can? [12:50] It seems like [12:51] » She does have a she has a pretty big [12:53] background and um marketing and I [12:56] believe [12:57] » Branding and things like that. So, [12:59] » Sure. She's getting the emails. [13:01] » Okay. [13:02] » I dominate proposals. [13:05] I think we should nominate nominate [13:06] Daniel. [13:07] » Yeah. Okay. [13:08] » Yeah, absolutely. [13:10] » I take a vote. All in favor of uh the [13:13] new member on this subcommittee would be [13:16] Amanda and Daniel. I'm I'm already on. [13:18] » So, you have Do we have a motion for a [13:22] vote? [13:22] » I'll put forward a motion to have [13:24] Sherman, uh Danielle, and Amanda Q on [13:28] the subcommittee for cultural events and [13:31] programming. [13:32] » Thank you. [13:35] Yes. Yes. [13:37] » All in favor? [13:39] » I [13:39] » I [13:43] take [13:44] » I just wanted to talk briefly about [13:46] this. Um I [13:50] the reason why this was you know the the [13:52] proposal was just honoring the Hispanic [13:55] Latino tradition and of course the [13:57] Spanish village by the sea and just to [14:00] be inclusive of the foods that and [14:02] cultural roots that go back uh decades. [14:05] And then the the mission of the town [14:07] like this is to celebrate the Latino [14:09] culture support local businesses and the [14:12] tri city level and bring the community [14:14] together during the holiday season. As [14:16] someone who lives at M by Mford Park, I [14:18] thought, you know, this is a great way [14:20] to uh encourage and support our Latino [14:24] community. And as a Latino, I really [14:26] appreciate that. [snorts] And then um I [14:28] had mentioned before u my background was [14:31] that my family would make, you know, [14:33] tamales and the type of tamales that we [14:36] would make is um with uh banana leaf. So [14:39] it was really interesting. Yeah. So it [14:42] was um one of the things that uh was [14:45] really special and you would give out to [14:46] to neighbors and that but uh the fiscal [14:49] impact of the phys we would you know [14:51] look into that as a subcommittee. Um, [14:54] and then as far as any partnerships like [14:57] such as the Gina Point Chamber of [14:58] Commerce and maybe possibly our Chamber [15:02] of Commerce and and other and and also [15:04] restaurants and I have not been able to [15:06] do that because I didn't want to I [15:08] wanted to avoid the brand act violation [15:10] and then of course it just would be it [15:13] would be beneficial to our city to be [15:15] inclusive and uh ideal for organizations [15:19] and to promote uh small businesses like [15:23] uh restaurants like I know Siesta had [15:25] closed and I think they're um you know [15:28] going through some you know things to do [15:30] that so that I know that they're doing [15:32] um their catering and I have not [15:35] presented to them but just thinking an [15:37] idea just from businesses [15:41] » Absolutely so um I just think that it [15:44] would be a great thing there's other [15:45] places like um Plantia that's been doing [15:49] it for 33 years that's [snorts] been [15:52] doing unit since 1996 and whether it [15:55] starts small and just grows but I think [15:58] that financially that if we get support [16:00] from the tri city area that that would [16:03] be really great to do. So hopefully [16:05] fingers crossed and let's see it's the [16:07] beginning of something. So thank you [16:09] appreciate it. [16:13] Okay, number three. [16:16] Um, moving on to number three would be [16:19] funding, partnerships and scholarships. [16:23] Purpose [16:23] » Sponsorship and sponsorship um purpose, [16:27] goals and deliverables and projects. [16:28] Identify grants, scholarships, [16:31] sponsorships, partnerships, and other [16:33] outside resources to support arts and [16:35] culture programming and projects. [16:39] Okay. [16:41] I'd like to work on this one. Uh I'd [16:44] been doing some work on the amphitheater [16:46] and I'd started looking at funding and [16:49] over the weekend I I did some more [16:52] research and came up with a number of [16:54] other new ideas that might be a starting [16:58] point for the subcommittee [17:00] to see what's worthwhile. And they're [17:02] they're items for um a lot of them are [17:06] for more structural things like the [17:07] amphitheater, but there's there's other [17:10] u uh avenues for like art installations [17:16] and and so forth that might work. So I'm [17:19] interested in working on this one. [17:24] » I'd be interested in turning Mike on [17:26] this one. Not not because I think I have [17:28] a like the answer to it, but for the [17:31] utility box project, we successfully [17:32] raised both um local nonprofit support [17:35] for one of them and from local [17:37] restaurant private sector support. So as [17:40] a pilot of you know ways to get [17:42] sponsorships um those both were [17:44] successful and I've been watching the [17:47] California um grant support for [17:50] community based organizations and you [17:52] know reached out to the plate [17:53] collaborators and the historical society [17:55] about opportunities that came up and I'm [17:57] happy to continue serving um in that [18:00] role. Samantha, I'd love some maybe [18:02] guidance when we see opportunities from [18:04] you, like what role the city can have [18:06] related to a local organization and [18:09] whether we could ever co-apply or just, [18:11] you know, support somebody else in in [18:13] applying, you know, when the city is [18:15] applicant, when the committee is the [18:17] applicant or when the local organization [18:18] is applicant. I don't really understand [18:20] the like the rules about that stuff. [18:22] » Yeah. Um, and I I think it's case by [18:25] case basis. It depends on the dollar [18:27] amount and the the agency funding [18:30] source. Yeah. So that's something the [18:32] sub the subcommittee could certainly [18:35] understand that [18:36] » Absolutely guidance. [18:38] » Is there any other interest in this [18:41] group from anyone else? [18:42] » Yes. Me [18:45] would like to be honest too. I had [18:47] mentioned this in other meetings we had [18:49] in the past about uh grants, you know, [18:52] getting grants grants for the projects [18:54] that we have here in the city. And uh [18:56] yeah, [18:59] » I can uh put forward a motion [19:02] Sherman, Amanda Greco, and Michael as [19:06] the committee subcommittee members of [19:08] the funding partnerships and [19:10] sponsorships. I second motion. Okay. [19:13] » All in favor? I oppose. [19:22] Number four, Olympic Sentinel planning [19:26] purpose, goals, and deliverables of [19:28] projects. Identify arts, cultural, [19:32] historical, and community programs, [19:34] opportunities associated with city's [19:36] centennial, and 2028 Olympic Games. [19:40] » I would love to be on this. Absolutely. [19:43] Yeah, I would also [19:48] [laughter] [19:50] » Okay, I think everybody wants to be on [19:51] this one. [19:52] » Not me. [19:53] » Okay, so we're going to have Michael. [19:57] I I be interested in it then. [20:00] » I'm fine if those three [20:04] are interested. I'm I'm okay not being [20:06] on it. [20:06] » Okay. Okay. [20:08] » So, I like to make a motion. Michael, [20:10] Amanda, and Shane. [20:12] » Amanda Q. [20:13] » Amanda Q [20:14] » To be on uh this committee. [20:17] » All in favor? [20:18] » I second. [20:20] » All in favor? [20:21] » I [20:22] second. [20:28] Uh number five, my work annual work [20:31] plan. um purpose, goals, deliverables or [20:34] projects promote collaboration related [20:37] to San Clement's historical and cultural [20:39] resources, including opportunities for [20:42] interpretation, [20:43] exhibits, education, [20:47] preservation, awareness, and community [20:50] partnerships. [20:57] Oh, I was just going to say that um I [21:00] wanted just to full disclosure for [21:03] transparency. I am a current board [21:05] member of the St. Clinton Historical [21:06] Society and I spoke to the city manager [21:09] recently. So, I just wanted to put that [21:11] out there. So, I just, you know, wanted [21:13] to let people know. [21:15] » Oh, they were [21:17] no comp. [21:17] » Are you compensating? [21:18] » No, there's no Yeah. [21:20] » But I'm not I'm not going to be on that. [21:23] But yeah, [21:24] » I was actually wondering whether there'd [21:25] be an advantage to that because you [21:26] would be in the, you know, conversations [21:28] about strategic goals for the historical [21:30] society and then be able to bring that [21:32] to bear in the I don't know. I mean, it [21:34] doesn't it seems to me like it might [21:36] just [21:38] be on it, [21:38] » Right? No, I just wanted a full [21:40] disclosure. I just wanted to make sure I [21:42] don't know. Yeah, Daniel's not here. I [21:45] don't know if anybody else would want [21:46] to. So, I just wanted to let you know he [21:49] » Oh, Daniel's not here. Well, nominate [21:50] Daniel. I would be I would [21:53] » Say your teaching background [21:55] be happy to be on it. I I do think it [21:58] would be beneficial to have you on it as [22:00] well. [22:00] » Okay. Great. Thank you. I appreciate [22:02] that. [22:03] » And Danielle [22:04] » And Daniel, [22:06] » I can make you go back. [22:07] » Yeah. [22:08] » Sorry. Thank you. [22:10] » I can make a motion uh that [22:14] Jessa, Danielle, and Amanda be on [22:17] subcommittee. [22:19] I send that one. All in favor? [22:22] » I oppose. [22:30] All right. [22:35] Um Samantha, a quick quick question. And [22:37] in the event that um that Danielle we [22:40] nominated a couple of these committees [22:42] if there's you know the attendance is [22:44] maybe an issue on those ones do can we [22:46] always reappoint someone else at that at [22:48] a later stage or [22:49] » Yes you certainly could you could I [22:51] guess yeah we'll just cross that [22:53] » When we get [22:58] uh number six [23:04] that [23:05] number [23:07] Thank you, Dr. You're on the submitt. [23:11] » So, you're on to Yeah. six items from [23:13] committee members. Future number six [23:17] items from committee members. Um I think [23:21] Michael, this is where you could you [23:22] have something you want to. [23:25] » Well, I guess the uh uh this about [23:30] participating on the ad hoc basis on the [23:33] amphitheater. I just like some guidance [23:36] about u what the parameters with that [23:40] would be. Am I free to call up the city [23:45] manager or or um [23:48] will somebody go forward and ask them to [23:50] » Yeah, I can um I can connect you. It's [23:53] it's a at this point it's really managed [23:55] within the staff internal level. Um but [23:57] it's it's coming out of the city [23:58] manager's office in collaboration with [24:01] myself and a couple of other [24:02] departments. So let me connect you with [24:04] that person. [24:06] » Okay. [24:11] » Yeah, I have some similar [24:14] topics on that too. So I would probably [24:17] maybe work with the city manager on that [24:19] as well. So some ideas that [24:25] » I would how do we for that there's some [24:28] input from you. [24:30] uh how do you see us going about really [24:34] uh going to ad hoc subcommittee and [24:38] giving our input you know as a ad hoc [24:42] subcommittee? [24:43] » Yeah. And because it's not on your work [24:44] plan, it's not going to be a formal [24:47] subcommittee. Um my recommendation is if [24:50] each individual committee member has an [24:53] an idea, you're welcome to email that to [24:55] myself and the city manager. Um we can [24:57] manage it that way. Um, but to avoid any [25:01] kind of Brown Act violation or having [25:04] any conversation about it, I think it's [25:06] best if it's just committee member to [25:08] staff member. Um, I don't know if [25:10] everybody has an interest in this topic, [25:12] but if there is a opportunity to come [25:15] back for for feedback, I think the goal [25:18] is staff is going to present something [25:20] to the city council just based on an [25:22] internal discussion um and kind of [25:24] planning um and then council can give [25:26] further direction from there after that [25:29] exploratory. [25:30] » Okay. And that's that was my remain [25:32] concern what you just mentioned because [25:34] of the Brown Act, you know, cuz we're [25:35] talking outside of a meeting about that, [25:39] » Right? and you don't want to talk to [25:40] each other about it by any means. Um, [25:43] but you could certainly as a member of [25:45] the public have an opinion on or a [25:48] thought and that it's okay to share [25:50] that. I would just be weary of talking [25:52] to each other about it. [25:54] » Okay. Awesome. [25:56] Anyone else have any other [25:59] » I'm just uh wondering so what on these [26:02] subcommittees we've just established [26:06] uh what's the next step? Does each [26:08] subcommittee [26:10] collaborate somehow to uh [26:13] when they're going to get together and [26:14] talk or or [26:15] » Yeah, you would um you would want to [26:17] coordinate with each other on um your [26:20] next steps and your your first going [26:23] forward action. Um and if there's a need [26:26] to involve staff, you can reach out to [26:28] myself and Debbie and we'll um try to [26:30] support you guys however we can. [26:34] Are there any further comments? Anyway, [26:36] any thing you want to bring up? [26:39] Yes. [26:41] » If there are no further items from [26:43] committee members, uh we move the number [26:46] seven. Item number seven to adjourn. So, [26:50] I'd like to make a motion that uh we [26:53] adjourn the meeting until October 26, [26:56] 2026 at 5:00. Okay. [27:00] This meeting is adjourned. [27:05] Do we have to? [27:07] » Yeah, I do need a second. So, I don't [27:10] need a second. I'll second. [27:12] » Okay, I'll repeat this meeting is [27:15] all in favor. [27:17] I thank you. [27:21] Appreciate
