<br />Report: <br /> <br />Library Director, 6/3/91 <br /> <br />Library Director Light and Project Read Director Miller presented the staff <br />report recommending approval of the creation of a mural on City Hall to <br />promote literacy. <br /> <br />Councilman Murray suggested the proposed mural is far too large and would be <br />too imposing on the City Hall site; the mural would send the wrong <br />message to adolescents that it is ok to paint on public walls; and this <br />mural might not be viewed by the downtown merchants as in their best <br />interests. Councilman Murray suggested painting the mural on the library <br />overlooking the Rosselli garden in a more relevant and contemplative area; <br />and asked that further discussion be held with community and downtown <br />1 eaders. <br /> <br />Council Members discussed the differences between art and graffiti; the <br />role of the Project Read Director; previous murals in Redwood City; <br />appropriate proportions for a mural; and the controversial nature of public <br />art. <br /> <br />Cathy Lipe, 965 Roble Avenue, Menlo Park, tutor with Project Read and member <br />of Community Impact, spoke in favor of the mural and cited businesses and <br />organizations who had contributed to the project. <br /> <br />Tamara Piulle, 960 Glennan Drive, Redwood City, speaking on behalf of the <br />Redwood City Civic Cultural Commission, endorsed the mural and encouraged <br />the Council to approve the project. <br /> <br />Title read. <br /> <br />MIS: <br /> <br />ClairelBuchan <br /> <br />RESOLUTION NO. 11530 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT <br />BETWEEN THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITV AND JANE NORLING FOR FABRICATION, EXECUTION <br />AND PAINTING OF MURAL ON CITV HALL <br /> <br />Adopted by the following roll call vote: <br />AYES: Council Members Buchan, Claire, Greenalch and Mayor La Berge <br />NOES: Council Members Murray and Stangel <br /> <br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> <br />8C.
