Civic Cultura/Commissron Page 2 `° Mrnutes of Septembei 2, 1999 placement of the piece. The Commissioners agreed to agendize the location of the jade ship for the next meeting. The Commissioners felt they should visit the art piece before their October meeting. Under this same item, the Commissioners will make a recommendation regarding advertising or signage to the City Hall art gallery. Mrs. Uccelli requested that she be sent a copy of the October Commission agenda. Nick Watry of the Housing and Human Concerns Committee spoke regarding the public art ordinances and the recent $50,000 grant given by the Housing and Human Concerns Committee to fund twin fountains at City Center Plaza. He noted that some cities require art paid for, executed, and maintained by developers. He is currently working in Sunnyvale at Central Expressway and Wolfe Road where such a requirement is in place. He suggested that the Commission consider bringing a similar ordinance to our City Council. It would also need to go to the Planning Commission and the City Attorney. He shared the City of Sunnyvale ordinance and a story about how he was working with a man in Sunnyvale who wanted to install a statue of a baseball player with his own likeness. fTEM 1 — PARK AND RECREATION STRATEGIC PLAN 'Ih�G Park and Recreation Commissioner Susan Swope spoke regarding the Park and Recreation Commission's Strategic Planning Sub-Committee.
