39
00:03:49.195 --> 00:04:10.204
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, this is Mr. Yen. He is one of
our more decorated teachers, for Cal Collar Academy, which is our parent
company, and also he is the Associate Program Manager for the team
program for our students, and we are both the co-owners of this pilot
project, which is the Cal Collar Foundation Civic Art Leadership Program.
40
00:04:10.265 --> 00:04:12.085
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then next slide, please.
41
00:04:12.305 --> 00:04:20.665
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So just a little quote, just to
show, our vision, and also, a quote that resonates us is empowering young
creators through real-world art projects.
42
00:04:21.015 --> 00:04:23.535
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then… next slide, please.
43
00:04:26.785 --> 00:04:49.254
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, just to give a little bit of a
background, we are both from Copolar Academy, so we are a WASC and
College Board-certified institution, and one of the most prominent youth
art, education organizations in the South Bay Area. We operate six
campuses, mainly, some in the East Bay and some in the South. We have a
student body of over 5,000 students, ages from
44
00:04:49.255 --> 00:04:57.865
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): 4 to 18 years old annually through a
structured and comprehensive art education program, supported by
approximately 60 professional art educators.
45
00:04:57.865 --> 00:05:19.715
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And just to, highlight some of our
achievements, our team-specific, our team program specifically, we have
over 800 students, and within that student body, we have 150 of them
actively pursuing, our portfolio, application, to leading art and design
colleges. Some to note are, like, RISD, Maryland, SCAD, so on and so
forth.
46
00:05:19.715 --> 00:05:36.175
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And in 2025, our students received
365 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, including over 80 gold keys, both
on the regional and national level. So, just a little cool fact about
ourselves. And then feel free to go on to the next slide.
47
00:05:37.355 --> 00:05:44.525
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then within, CalColor Academy,
we have the CalColor Foundation, which is our nonprofit, organization.
48
00:05:44.525 --> 00:05:58.945
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Who, our main objective is not only
to empower our local students within Kepler Academy, but also the, local
art groups, or youth, groups here, in our communities, specifically in
Cupertino.
49
00:05:58.945 --> 00:06:12.215
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Where we aim to, not only empower
them, to apply their artistic skills in real-world scenarios, but also to
foster their leadership, collaboration, and strong senses of civic
responsibilities.
50
00:06:12.215 --> 00:06:18.994
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): We want to create, impactful
opportunities for them to engage with and contribute to their local
communities through art.
51
00:06:19.505 --> 00:06:22.075
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then… Feel free to go.
52
00:06:24.335 --> 00:06:35.875
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then, just to, kind of explain
about our Civic Arts Leadership Program, we are a student-led civic art
initiative guided by Kepler's professional instructors, such as Mr. Tan
himself.
53
00:06:35.975 --> 00:06:54.464
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And fully supported by the Calfeller
Foundation, where students design and execute city-approved public
artworks in collaboration with the community. This program transforms
traditional art education into a world-leading, learning experience,
empowering students to lead creative projects, work collaboratively.
54
00:06:54.465 --> 00:07:05.125
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): and contribute to public spaces in a
structured, professionally supervised environment. By integrating
artistic practice with leadership and civic responsibility, the program
not only enhances the city's
55
00:07:05.135 --> 00:07:17.624
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Cultural landscape, but also
cultivates ownership, project management, and civic engagement, enabling
students to make a meaningful impact while developing experiences that
support their broader academic and personal growth.
56
00:07:18.135 --> 00:07:19.635
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then, next slide, please.
57
00:07:20.355 --> 00:07:23.885
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, here are some of our target
project examples.
58
00:07:23.925 --> 00:07:31.735
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, in this project specifically,
we're going to be, trying to unify some utility boxes.
59
00:07:31.735 --> 00:07:42.185
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): But later on, if you guys have any
opportunities for us, we would also like to expand on more brand and more
bigger projects, such as, like, public art, like, public buildings, like
libraries.
60
00:07:42.185 --> 00:07:53.005
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): maybe some crosswords, some
buildings, so on and so forth. So, if you would like to remain in contact
with us, and we'll be reaching out to you guys as well, we would love the
opportunity, and we would be honored.
61
00:07:54.765 --> 00:07:56.124
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then next.
62
00:07:56.725 --> 00:08:09.165
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And just to give a little bit of
insight about our execution workflow within our program structure, our
preliminary phase would be the concept and research, in which we will
identify potential public art opportunities on
63
00:08:09.165 --> 00:08:20.434
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): and site conditions, then we will
conduct research on locations, safeties, and community contacts, then
initiate communication with the city and confirm the project scope and
requirements.
64
00:08:20.435 --> 00:08:30.844
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): The next phase would be our design
and approval phase, in which we will, have student teams, develop and
concept, proposals based on the project themes and the site conditions.
65
00:08:30.875 --> 00:08:48.054
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Then we will conduct internal
reviews by counselor instructors, to ensure quality and feasibility. Then
we will submit, our students' design, to the city for feedback, revision,
final approvals, and any, city standards that you guys might have. Then…
66
00:08:48.105 --> 00:09:04.764
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Our next phase would be the planning
and execution phase, where we will form student teams based… and assign
roles based off their interests and also their capabilities. We will help
them plan timelines, materials, and budgets, and then conduct any safety
trainings, if applicable.
67
00:09:05.165 --> 00:09:10.124
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then we will sprayer inside and
execute paintings under professional supervision.
68
00:09:10.145 --> 00:09:26.805
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then the final phase would be
the completion presentation, where we will do any final checks, quality
controls, and also provide any protective coatings if necessary. We will
clean and restore the site to ensure public safety and usability.
69
00:09:26.855 --> 00:09:33.824
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Then you will document the
processes, and then present, the completed project to our local
community, which would be Cupertina.
70
00:09:33.915 --> 00:09:36.565
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then… Next.
71
00:09:39.075 --> 00:09:43.524
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then I'll… Yeah, this part,
we're gonna introduce our.
72
00:09:43.525 --> 00:09:49.084
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): team structure. So, basically, we
have, we want to make this,
73
00:09:49.085 --> 00:10:04.015
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): project to be, like, professionally
and a high-quality project, so we, organize our, team structure into
three parts. So, first of all, we have our student leadership team to
lead and oversee the whole project.
74
00:10:04.015 --> 00:10:09.595
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And work with our student project
team together to complete this work.
75
00:10:09.595 --> 00:10:27.474
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And also, we have our, supervision
team to provide all the potential, like, guidance or any of the, like,
anything they need, we're gonna help them to finish, to also help them to
finish the job. So, to talk about our supervision team.
76
00:10:27.475 --> 00:10:43.825
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, all the team members is from
our, CalColor, professional art instructors, and also our senior,
operation, team members. And they all have, many years of, art teaching
background, and also,
77
00:10:44.045 --> 00:11:01.024
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): our project management experience,
so they can, provide all, any of the, you know, like, technical,
guidance, or any of the safety training, and all the, information they
need to, for the students to help them to, to finish the job.
78
00:11:01.025 --> 00:11:12.145
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And also for our, student lead team,
they're all from our, advanced level, class. And also, they are high
schoolers, they are, junior and seniors.
79
00:11:12.145 --> 00:11:29.025
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So they are leading their job in
different aspects. We have our project lead to oversees the whole,
project, and also we have our design lead to charge the visual
development, and also for the quality of the work.
80
00:11:29.025 --> 00:11:42.724
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We also have our production lead to
make sure everything on track during the execution. And finally, we have
our student project team. So they are all selected from our CalColor
regular class students.
81
00:11:42.725 --> 00:11:50.535
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So they also have mainly high
schoolers, and… but they have been, with CalColor, have many years of our
training.
82
00:11:50.535 --> 00:12:08.175
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So we can, make sure they have
enough, knowledge and also, the, the, all the skills to, finish a job. So
with all this, put all this together, we have our team structure, and to
make sure all… everything goes well, yeah.
83
00:12:08.435 --> 00:12:11.665
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Click here, yeah.
84
00:12:13.820 --> 00:12:24.439
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And just to overview, our
supervision and control. So, all activities are going to be led and
directly supervised by experienced CalColor, staff members.
85
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:35.310
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Such as, myself and Mr. Tien. We're
going to maintain low, student-to-staff ratio, from 1 staff member to 5
students to ensure close monitoring.
86
00:12:35.310 --> 00:13:00.300
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then all execution steps are
going to be, staff-guided and quality control. And then, just to go
briefly into safety measures and site management, we're going to be using
protective equipment, we're going to be using high-vis vests, traffic
cones, masks, so on and so forth, and if you guys have any standards,
feel free to send them our way. We'll gladly apply them. We're going to
clearly define work zones with no interference
87
00:13:00.300 --> 00:13:02.120
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Pedestrian or truck float.
88
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:09.330
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Then we're going to, try to conduct,
during low traffic hours to minimize risks, so around from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m.
89
00:13:09.330 --> 00:13:25.839
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then, regarding liability and
compliance, all participants are going to be using… are signing liability
waiver forms, and parental, consent forms, if, applicable. All the
activities are going to be conducted under established safety and
operational guidelines.
90
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:31.789
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And Cal Collar Foundation will
ensure compliance with city requirements and any safety requirements.
91
00:13:33.330 --> 00:13:34.400
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Keep playing.
92
00:13:34.490 --> 00:13:50.770
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And here are some of the, we have a
mock-up over here of some potential examples. So we have two locations
that we're trying to propose for. One would be located on Sienza
Boulevard and Pacifica. The other would be on Cienza Boulevard and
Bollinger.
93
00:13:50.770 --> 00:14:14.030
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then during the design process,
our theme, is going to be youthful perspectives on Nature and Technology,
which kind of coincides with, I feel the vision for Cupertino. Throughout
the… since this is, a preliminary, example, and not a final one, we're
going to be in contact with, the corresponding individuals regarding
94
00:14:14.030 --> 00:14:22.540
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): any, like, design processes or
anything like that. And then regarding the creative process, I want to
reiterate that they are going to be student-led.
95
00:14:23.010 --> 00:14:30.319
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then regarding the materials,
all the costs will be covered by the CalColor Foundation. And just to go…
96
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:43.470
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): kind of briefly into what we're
going to be using, we're going to be using UV-resistant, lightfast
expelled paint, anti-graph ID coating, and any safety equipment. And our
proposal would be, would be from June 22nd to the 26th.
97
00:14:44.670 --> 00:14:46.219
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Then, next thoughts.
98
00:14:47.460 --> 00:14:52.259
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sorry to interrupt, I believe
Commissioner Chen just joined the meeting.
99
00:14:52.530 --> 00:14:54.500
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner Chen, is that you?
100
00:15:03.550 --> 00:15:08.080
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): It looks like we're having a
technical issue. Go ahead and continue.
101
00:15:08.085 --> 00:15:12.634
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And just to give a brief overview
of, what we…
102
00:15:12.635 --> 00:15:30.475
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): said, in terms for a city
partnership, we're asking if the City of Cupertino can provide real-world
public art opportunities for our program, and in return, we will enhance
public spaces and strengthen community identity, and then create a
platform for our program for meaningful youth engagement.
103
00:15:30.475 --> 00:15:46.984
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then CalColor Foundation will
provide professional artistic guidance and project supervision. We will
also fully sponsor any resources and operational support, and we will
also offer structured programs with verified volunteer service credit for
the individuals that participate.
104
00:15:47.155 --> 00:16:00.834
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And in regards for the students, we
will give them hands-on experience with real-world creative projects,
develop their leadership, collaboration, and civic awareness, and help
them contribute meaningfully to their community through art.
105
00:16:00.835 --> 00:16:07.324
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's pretty much it. If you have
any questions, feel free to send them our way, but thank you so much for
having us.
106
00:16:10.025 --> 00:16:10.975
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you.
107
00:16:11.325 --> 00:16:12.335
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Great answer.
108
00:16:13.680 --> 00:16:15.610
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So,
109
00:16:15.710 --> 00:16:33.419
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next, we're going to go around the
room for the commissioners to ask any technical or clarifying questions.
Please keep this as questions only. Then we will open it up for public
comment, and then lastly, we'll have a discussion, among the
commissioners.

00:16:33.420 --> 00:16:45.630
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, first, and in the interest of
time, if you could please limit your, your questions to maybe the top
two, one or two, on your mind.
111
00:16:45.800 --> 00:16:52.810
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Can we start with you? Thank you.
Sure. I have two questions. One is, most of your students, are they…
112
00:16:52.810 --> 00:16:59.140
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): in, the South Bay, in Cupertino,
what's the area?
113
00:16:59.145 --> 00:16:59.875
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): 14.
114
00:16:59.880 --> 00:17:09.439
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sorry, Dave, go ahead. Oh, for our
student bases, we actually do have a couple of locations, but, for this
project in specific, they will be Cupertino-based.
115
00:17:09.560 --> 00:17:10.500
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
116
00:17:10.505 --> 00:17:18.684
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And quick second question. You have…
your students have done utility boxes in the past, or your organization?
117
00:17:19.430 --> 00:17:29.450
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think for this part, this is the
first time to do the utility box, but they do some, like, a mural
painting, project before, like, in the public. Perfect, good enough.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
118
00:17:30.360 --> 00:17:36.440
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sorry to interrupt again, I think
Commissioner Chen… Commissioner Chen, you're unmuted.
119
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:38.529
14084215920: Yeah, I'm here.
120
00:17:39.350 --> 00:17:40.420
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Excellent.
121
00:17:41.630 --> 00:17:43.290
14084215920: I put you on mute, right?
122
00:17:44.020 --> 00:17:45.089
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Real quickly.
123
00:17:45.090 --> 00:17:45.870
14084215920: You'll hear me?
124
00:17:46.760 --> 00:17:48.300
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, we can hear you.
125
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:49.600
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, cool.
126
00:17:49.600 --> 00:17:52.030
14084215920: Wait, I just send out, yeah, okay.
127
00:17:52.680 --> 00:18:06.159
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Before we proceed, Chair, Vice
Chair, and Commissioners, and members of the public, Commissioner Chen is
participating remotely this evening. We have not heard from any members
of the public that they plan to participate in tonight's meeting.
128
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:16.810
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): From Commissioner Chen's remote
location. Commissioner Chen, are you at Building 5105 Yangcheng, Gonghao
Garden, Hayden District in Beijing, China?
129
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:18.230
14084215920: Yes.
130
00:18:19.110 --> 00:18:22.599
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Can you confirm that you posted the
agenda at your location?
131
00:18:23.710 --> 00:18:26.920
14084215920: Yes, the location in Beijing, China.
132
00:18:28.150 --> 00:18:36.520
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Are there any individuals over the
age of 18 with you, and has anyone indicated to you that they intend to
make public comment or address the Commission?
133
00:18:37.600 --> 00:18:41.150
14084215920: No, just myself here.
134
00:18:42.090 --> 00:18:47.889
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, I'll rely on you to notify me
if any member of the public wishes to speak from your location.
135
00:18:48.510 --> 00:18:50.879
14084215920: I know I asked myself.
136
00:18:51.340 --> 00:18:52.530
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, thank you.
137
00:18:59.350 --> 00:19:09.890
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, you can continue. Okay, well,
since Commissioner Chen is already unmuted, Commissioner Chen, do you
have any questions on the presentation?
138
00:19:11.340 --> 00:19:24.720
14084215920: I can see the pictures, but I prefer not to colorful, too,
obviously, to see on the street. You know, we already saw some samples
along the De Anza College, De Anza Boulevard.
139
00:19:24.810 --> 00:19:36.799
14084215920: on some area. I prefer any painting to harmony, to match the
surrounding area, not to actually to see the colorful box. That's my
comment.
140
00:19:40.040 --> 00:19:41.569
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, Commissioner Chan.
141
00:19:42.340 --> 00:19:50.520
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Moving on? Sure. Commissioner
Handel. So, to color, to design, to implement, do you have any theme in
mind, or what… how does it work out?
142
00:19:50.525 --> 00:19:53.614
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): choose? How do you decide what is to
be made there?
143
00:19:54.400 --> 00:20:12.279
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right now, we have our theme, is
combining, like, based on our research on the local area, which is
Cupertino. So we want to use the technology and tech, technology and
nature as a, as a theme. So that's, where we start. But, right now, it's
just a theme and concept, and also,
144
00:20:12.410 --> 00:20:20.689
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): color, I think we've, probably
mainly used some color, and also we did research about, like, the heat,
right? Yeah.
145
00:20:20.690 --> 00:20:37.530
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I did some preliminary research
and found out that some cities actually don't, or restrict people from
using darker clouds, especially with the utility boxes, in case that they
overheat. So we're going to be using mainly, lighter colors and more
vibrant colors.
146
00:20:37.530 --> 00:20:40.890
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Awesome. My second question would
be, you just mentioned pricing.
147
00:20:40.890 --> 00:20:49.699
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): But is there a standard range that
he was looking forward for… from the city, for this production? Because I
know you just mentioned, but there was no legal.
148
00:20:49.700 --> 00:20:55.490
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): We are going to be covering all the
costs, so we're asking nothing from the city except for permission.
149
00:20:55.860 --> 00:20:57.230
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Bill, thank you.
150
00:20:59.100 --> 00:21:04.430
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, thank you. Yeah, I appreciate
your coming, and thank you for presenting. I really appreciate.
151
00:21:04.430 --> 00:21:22.320
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): that you are working with students
to promote art and the connection with the community. That's really,
really positive for our youth. My question is, Cal… Cal Color Academy, is
that a non-profit organization?
152
00:21:22.915 --> 00:21:27.175
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's a for-profit organization, but
we have a non-profit as well.
153
00:21:27.945 --> 00:21:30.164
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): under, undercut color academic.
154
00:21:31.305 --> 00:21:32.374
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, is that the.
155
00:21:32.380 --> 00:21:36.829
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): foundation, then? Yes. That would be
the foundation, okay.
156
00:21:37.800 --> 00:21:39.749
Quinlan Conference Room: One more question.
157
00:21:41.180 --> 00:21:49.089
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Have you seen that in Cupertino,
there's been a previous project, for the utility?
158
00:21:49.380 --> 00:21:53.409
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): boxes in the past, I don't know, I
think it was some years ago.
159
00:21:53.660 --> 00:21:59.319
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I don't know how many utility
boxes are still available. Available.
160
00:22:00.230 --> 00:22:18.089
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, I think that the, the two we're
showing in the pictures, we found that they're empty. Yeah, that may be.
And then there are a lot of, yes, there are a lot of bins already being
painted. Yeah, and I know there, last summer, they also have some, event
about this, utility box, yes.
161
00:22:18.095 --> 00:22:22.195
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): But may I have an additional
question? Yeah, so,
162
00:22:22.565 --> 00:22:28.654
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Talking about other community
projects, what you said, that's what you would like,
163
00:22:28.915 --> 00:22:35.004
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Not in return, but yeah, you like
the opportunity. Are those then paid projects?
164
00:22:35.465 --> 00:22:46.864
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Would some… would a city have to
commission, or an organization would commission you to paint, for
example, if it's a library ball or something like that?
165
00:22:46.865 --> 00:22:48.715
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Are you open for any opportunity
there.
166
00:22:48.895 --> 00:22:53.845
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): any opportunity. Oh, that's great.
Okay, okay, thank you very much. Thank you. That was it.
167
00:22:53.965 --> 00:22:54.915
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
168
00:22:54.915 --> 00:23:09.064
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, first of all, I wanted to say
thank you so much for sharing this presentation and coming here to speak
with us. It's clear that you put a lot of thought into this, so it's
really great to see. My first question is.
169
00:23:09.715 --> 00:23:21.384
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): what examples, or can you give a
couple examples of related projects that you've completed in the past?
What cities have you worked with?
170
00:23:22.060 --> 00:23:38.589
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, we worked on a, like, aero
painting at Monctomy, but it's in our own location, and, it's a, like, a
large wall, like the front, so we have to photo it, actually, with us.
171
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:42.660
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Want to… we can show you.
172
00:23:42.665 --> 00:23:44.165
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Off, yeah, it's off.
173
00:23:44.165 --> 00:23:54.644
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): No problem, no problem, yes. Yes, we
have a couple of those kind of, like, mural paintings before, but it's
all, all, based on our own locations, yes.
174
00:23:54.645 --> 00:23:56.884
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): But in terms of… okay, so in terms
of…
175
00:23:57.135 --> 00:24:03.264
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): art pieces on public property
haven't executed that yet. Correct, correct.
176
00:24:03.385 --> 00:24:05.955
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then my second question… well,
actually…
177
00:24:06.245 --> 00:24:25.574
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): My second question was going to be,
what have… what has been, some challenges or learnings from previous
executions of projects like this? But it sounds like you… this would be
your first public property execution. Okay, understood. Thank you.
178
00:24:25.955 --> 00:24:37.944
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I believe those were questions from
around the room, from the commissioners. I want to open it up for public
comment. Do we have any speakers for public comment?
179
00:24:37.950 --> 00:24:40.360
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have no speakers, Chair. Okay.
180
00:24:42.560 --> 00:24:50.130
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): The last, step, now I'm going to
open it up for discussion among the Commission.
181
00:24:50.260 --> 00:24:55.319
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Please feel free to share, your
thoughts.
182
00:24:55.490 --> 00:25:01.539
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): on… The presentation, and or how,
183
00:25:02.030 --> 00:25:05.320
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): you can see this moving forward.
Sure.
184
00:25:05.320 --> 00:25:21.790
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Talking about equality, I mean,
this, given a projection, like, in an institute, it'll be limited to some
students, their students. But if we open up the public, so all corporate,
you know, children can try their luck, which has been the case in past.
We had a contest.
185
00:25:21.790 --> 00:25:46.149
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): And the winner paints the box,
usually, what I've heard from earlier experiences. So, one negative would
be, here we limit to one institute, whereas we have issue opening to all
children. But, having said that, the positive side is the responsibility,
the accountability, and the onus lies on one group, and which will be
taken properly, you'll have a point of contact to ask if things are right
or wrong.
186
00:25:46.150 --> 00:25:54.800
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Either way, we have somebody to ask
to take the ownership. They have talked about compliance, safety, so
everything, all in all, that sounds really inviting, appealing.
187
00:25:54.830 --> 00:25:58.930
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): I have one, and they don't charge.
It's like volunteer basis, so that's beautiful.
188
00:25:58.990 --> 00:26:07.580
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): But also, the equality, the openness
stops there, because only their students have been to do that. So each
one is the other plus and the minus ones.
189
00:26:09.300 --> 00:26:10.669
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): I have a comment.
190
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:27.660
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): But we're not just limiting it to
our students. We… anybody, who is of age, is able to join under CapColler
Foundation, and, are able to participate in the project. We're not
limiting it just to our students.
191
00:26:27.830 --> 00:26:31.399
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Awesome. So when they join, are they
charged? No. Oh, perfect.
192
00:26:31.405 --> 00:26:32.925
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): That solves the issue.
193
00:26:32.925 --> 00:26:37.425
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because… and are we willing to open
this to the city?
194
00:26:37.425 --> 00:26:42.215
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. No problem, sorry. Sure,
good, we clarified. How do you publicize.
195
00:26:42.215 --> 00:26:49.584
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): to the public? Like, how would
students who are not currently members of your foundation hear about this
opportunity?
196
00:26:50.940 --> 00:27:04.520
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): we haven't quite thought about that
yet, to be honest, but, well, giving maybe some thought, maybe putting
posters around from the, to the, like, local businesses, or cities, or,
like, yeah. We also have, well.
197
00:27:04.520 --> 00:27:16.839
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): some social media that we could,
post, both on our, local Cal Collar Academy, like, social medias, as well
as, CalColler volunteer, social medias as well.
198
00:27:19.610 --> 00:27:26.789
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): I love… question, but I don't know
if anyone else of us would know the answer.
199
00:27:27.500 --> 00:27:35.459
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): How was this done in the past for
the other utility boxes? I think it was done as a council work program
item.
200
00:27:36.120 --> 00:27:37.460
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's my understanding.
201
00:27:37.900 --> 00:27:40.310
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I think there might have been
some…
202
00:27:41.420 --> 00:27:45.080
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Some monies from the city to have it
done, plus in their process.
203
00:27:45.085 --> 00:27:50.125
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): for which the Arts and Culture
Commission reviewed the actual…
204
00:27:51.005 --> 00:28:08.635
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): design prior to a utility box. I'm
not… not quite sure. One of the questions that I'm thinking about, well,
who actually manages a utility box? Right, step number one, is it PG&E?
Is it, you know, who has the discretion? C might not even have discretion
over it, you know, so that's…
205
00:28:08.635 --> 00:28:16.605
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I could be wrong. Yeah. Right. So
I… that's… those are definite questions that I can ask.
206
00:28:16.935 --> 00:28:21.505
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Let me, you know, I could… what I
would suggest.
207
00:28:21.965 --> 00:28:25.055
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Misha, if you guys can send me some
write-ups, what you want to do.
208
00:28:25.785 --> 00:28:27.185
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): include the presentation.
209
00:28:28.075 --> 00:28:30.654
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): A public works director, and see
what they think.
210
00:28:30.835 --> 00:28:34.744
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): What do you think there's process
is in that letter.
211
00:28:35.055 --> 00:28:37.405
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): This adjusted decision for us.
212
00:28:37.725 --> 00:28:38.685
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): city.
213
00:28:39.725 --> 00:28:43.954
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): candidacy, move on with this. I
don't know the process, I guess, but I guess…
214
00:28:44.065 --> 00:28:46.875
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I guess I don't know the process.
That's where I was.
215
00:28:46.875 --> 00:28:54.434
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): headed, which is… Is this within the
scope of this commission?
216
00:28:54.615 --> 00:29:00.125
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): On the highest level, it should be,
because it is public art.
217
00:29:00.355 --> 00:29:09.204
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): On the other hand, It's not
explicitly stated in the charter anyway.
218
00:29:09.465 --> 00:29:17.004
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, either way, I mean, we could
approve or not approve, or whatever, What does that mean?
219
00:29:17.550 --> 00:29:18.530
14084215920: So…
220
00:29:18.940 --> 00:29:24.840
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): what John is recommending is right
on, which is get the appropriate city agency involved.
221
00:29:25.230 --> 00:29:30.730
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): for execution of the process. We
can… Give our opinions and comments.
222
00:29:32.550 --> 00:29:36.349
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): There might be a link on the
webpage that goes through the…
223
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:42.210
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's still available, and that's…
that… we all hope that. Yeah.
224
00:29:42.210 --> 00:29:49.040
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Especially because we don't know who
owns each one. Could be AT&T, whether Fiber, could be PG&E.
225
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:50.350
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Click.
226
00:29:50.980 --> 00:29:51.540
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): 50.
227
00:29:51.720 --> 00:30:09.470
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, I definitely agree with
everything that has been shared so far. That's kind of what I was getting
at when I asked, if you have experience working with other
municipalities, because every municipality is different, and I mean.
228
00:30:09.850 --> 00:30:17.679
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): figuring out the process is, is, a
big part of the work. But I do think…
229
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:36.589
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): The proposal that you put together
is incredibly compelling. I think, at least speaking for myself, and
hopefully some of my fellow commissioners as well, I think it's a huge
asset to the city if we can empower our youth, and also
230
00:30:36.610 --> 00:30:43.000
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): create, a currently blank slate more
beautiful. I think there's… it's…
231
00:30:43.170 --> 00:30:59.290
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): only positive, for our city. So, I
personally would love to see this move forward. I think the task at hand
is really to see how we can, help you execute upon that. So, yeah, I
think…
232
00:30:59.590 --> 00:31:01.369
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I have a conflict.
233
00:31:01.490 --> 00:31:02.980
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Amy.
234
00:31:02.985 --> 00:31:04.505
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Will you close the discussion?
235
00:31:04.655 --> 00:31:05.515
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
236
00:31:05.685 --> 00:31:12.624
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, oh… When I had seen, even before
you came, when I had seen the utility boxes and painting.
237
00:31:13.455 --> 00:31:19.875
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I had some concerns. At that time, I
was not even in arts and culture commissioner, because
238
00:31:20.065 --> 00:31:28.835
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): First of all, I think it's
electrical. I was concerned about the safety, of students, and Oh.
239
00:31:29.525 --> 00:31:46.585
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): just kind of the process around it
is a little bit also what's echoed, but also because it's electrical, I,
you know, I had some safety concerns. Obviously, it's been done, it's
been done with city authority and the process, so I'm sure there's
something in place for that, and we've talked about it.
240
00:31:46.585 --> 00:31:49.894
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Still, on the other hand, and that's
what triggered my question to you.
241
00:31:50.065 --> 00:31:56.254
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Is that the most relevant
opportunity, or the blank space?
242
00:31:56.445 --> 00:32:02.215
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): That we have in the city, Where we
have… At least I have some…
243
00:32:02.315 --> 00:32:11.425
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): There could be concerns on
ownership, on safety, also a little bit on the… Harmony in the…
244
00:32:12.155 --> 00:32:28.495
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): in the environment, are there other
places where a community will have more benefit by standing and looking
at what it is, and drawing more benefit from all the effort that will go
from your students, the cost?
245
00:32:28.595 --> 00:32:34.435
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): also the staff time, right? So,
that's a little bit my thought process.
246
00:32:34.615 --> 00:32:41.155
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Is, where is our most value valued
opportunity
247
00:32:41.565 --> 00:32:47.874
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, in our city, we have done
art in,
248
00:32:48.045 --> 00:32:52.435
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't want to derail it, but just
want to kind of still give it a thought.
249
00:32:52.665 --> 00:32:55.365
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): As we are looking into the process.
250
00:32:55.555 --> 00:32:59.634
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): As each of us commissioners may even
think about.
251
00:32:59.825 --> 00:33:07.684
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): How to get the best value involved
community, to involve your leadership, and to get the best outcome.
252
00:33:08.290 --> 00:33:10.420
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's my thought. It's my thought.
253
00:33:10.420 --> 00:33:14.279
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, thank you, Vince. I
completely agree with your…
254
00:33:14.280 --> 00:33:19.570
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): your thought. Actually, this is why,
like, when we do the research.
255
00:33:19.570 --> 00:33:39.839
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We actually look for, like, many
different, like, cities' websites, and look for this kind of, like, opt-
in chance. And one of the results is, like, the, like, some, like, a
website that shows, like, a utility box is open for some, like, a chance
for us to apply for it. Otherwise, probably the other chance, they might
also put posts on the, on the website.
256
00:33:40.610 --> 00:33:50.010
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): to, just to tell the public, saying,
like, we have this project, and the artists are willing to do it, right?
And also, in the other hand, I think Utility Box
257
00:33:50.010 --> 00:34:04.849
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): it's a small thing, and since we
don't have, like, much experience, so it's good to start with, and then
it's a little bit easier to control, so for many aspects, I think that's
a good start. But we do really want to do
258
00:34:04.850 --> 00:34:15.950
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): more, and also more valuable
projects, if we can make the connection, and then maybe let us know where
other places we can work with. That would be great in the future, yes.
259
00:34:16.550 --> 00:34:22.000
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Sorry to interrupt,
Commissioner Chen, you have your hand raised. Would you like to make a
comment?
260
00:34:23.650 --> 00:34:26.520
14084215920: No? No comments so far.
261
00:34:27.150 --> 00:34:27.750
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
262
00:34:28.389 --> 00:34:29.810
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I, I'm excellent.
263
00:34:30.620 --> 00:34:32.790
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, for the question first.
264
00:34:33.255 --> 00:34:34.255
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, it shows…
265
00:34:34.255 --> 00:34:35.224
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): random art.
266
00:34:35.230 --> 00:34:51.600
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): If you can connect with the city,
and do the mission and vision of our place, what do we stand for, and if
it can inspire people who are watching, who come and pass by, if it makes
sense to all the residents of something that is very important to our
vision, to the city, that would be very helpful.
267
00:34:52.010 --> 00:34:53.380
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Definitely.
268
00:34:53.389 --> 00:34:59.179
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's why we kind of, like, have a
time for us to communicate with the city to develop.
269
00:34:59.730 --> 00:35:01.300
Quinlan Conference Room: different community focus.
270
00:35:02.130 --> 00:35:10.259
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, in the interest of time, I'd
like to, wrap up this discussion.
271
00:35:11.110 --> 00:35:18.670
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm curious. So, I think we already,
at least through discussion,
272
00:35:18.890 --> 00:35:31.810
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): decided that a logical next step
would be for John to reach out to the relevant staff members to
understand how we could execute, on this.
273
00:35:32.080 --> 00:35:39.960
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): It is… does that kind of capture
your thoughts? I guess what I'm… Asking is…
274
00:35:40.310 --> 00:35:45.140
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Whether or not there would be value
in us as commissioners to
275
00:35:45.330 --> 00:35:50.190
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I guess, formalize our opinion or
our recommendation in a motion.
276
00:35:51.090 --> 00:35:56.639
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sure. So, what is the… is it
approval or suggestion? What are we giving? Just to clarify.
277
00:35:56.835 --> 00:36:09.125
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): because my understanding is, we
don't have approval authority on this, right? I mean, explanation needs
to be done. However, I think…
278
00:36:09.365 --> 00:36:19.660
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): as a commission, because this topic…
is… Related to… our city.
279
00:36:19.850 --> 00:36:28.520
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): We could… Provide a unified
recommendation that we think this is something that
280
00:36:28.700 --> 00:36:31.600
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): We would like staff to investigate.
281
00:36:31.740 --> 00:36:35.369
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sure. May I make… Please, go ahead.
May I make a motion?
282
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:36.420
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So…
283
00:36:36.420 --> 00:36:43.350
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, based on what I heard from all
our commissioners and the chairperson,
284
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:59.730
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I want to make a motion to request
staff to explore the process of, having, Cal Color Academy, or a similar
organization take on the responsibility of
285
00:36:59.880 --> 00:37:06.820
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Providing art on the utility boxes
in the city of Tutino.
286
00:37:08.570 --> 00:37:18.499
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): I will add something to the
recommendation, for the motion. So, having said that, we want to request,
with the condition that the safety be taken care of.
287
00:37:18.590 --> 00:37:34.249
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): that the theme should be matching
our city's vision, the color palette, the thought process, the artistic
taste should match what is around. It cannot be totally drastically
different from what we already have. It has to gel with it, with the
people and our mission.
288
00:37:34.250 --> 00:37:40.419
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): And lastly, like, we should have
opportunity given to all the children of COVID. That's it.
289
00:37:41.870 --> 00:37:43.829
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Do you feel like…
290
00:37:43.835 --> 00:37:51.895
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): May I respond to it? It was my
motion, so… Sure. May I respond to it? Yeah. So, I totally agree on the
safety.
291
00:37:52.095 --> 00:38:00.835
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): all the other items, I agree with
you totally, but I don't think that's for staff to figure out. That is
something the Arts and Culture Commission
292
00:38:01.185 --> 00:38:04.084
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): would be, I think, very capable to
give an input.
293
00:38:04.205 --> 00:38:08.495
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And a follow-up is true. That's what
I… I… absolutely.
294
00:38:08.745 --> 00:38:10.844
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I can amend my motion, if you
like.
295
00:38:12.350 --> 00:38:29.570
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, so we're amending the motion
to include with the condition that the safety be taken care of, and that
it matches the city vision while dealing with the people and the mission
to give to all the children of Cupertino.
296
00:38:30.050 --> 00:38:33.330
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's what I got. Does that sound
right? Yes.
297
00:38:33.330 --> 00:38:38.000
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I mean, just… I'm sure you can
wordsmith it, but I think the last point…
298
00:38:38.210 --> 00:38:42.540
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): on the children. It's specifically
that
299
00:38:43.510 --> 00:38:49.820
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): this opportunity open to any student
in Cupertino.
300
00:38:55.070 --> 00:38:56.910
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay. I second.
301
00:38:59.960 --> 00:39:01.389
Quinlan Conference Room: Alright, Commissioner Chen?
302
00:39:02.700 --> 00:39:10.699
14084215920: Yeah. I'd like to give, priority to our Cupertino residence
students.
303
00:39:15.860 --> 00:39:16.430
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think.
304
00:39:16.430 --> 00:39:17.310
14084215920: Hello, K.
305
00:39:18.620 --> 00:39:23.690
14084215920: priority, yeah, I want to priority for Cupertino residents.
306
00:39:25.510 --> 00:39:27.360
14084215920: I heard the Academy.
307
00:39:27.720 --> 00:39:37.089
14084215920: with many students from all over the area, so I prefer the
Cupertino as students, has a priority.
308
00:39:37.210 --> 00:39:40.550
14084215920: We do the artwork on our own street.
309
00:39:49.950 --> 00:39:53.489
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And would you still like to go to a
vote on the amended motion?
310
00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:56.460
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sorry, I thought we were… Yeah.
311
00:39:56.710 --> 00:39:58.380
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, I didn't care.
312
00:39:59.190 --> 00:40:00.190
14084215920: Yeah, yes.
313
00:40:01.600 --> 00:40:10.619
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner Aurora? Aye.
Commissioner Panda? Yes. Vice Chair Lambeau? Yes. Chair Wang? Aye. The
motion carries unanimously.
314
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:11.670
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Good book.
315
00:40:11.970 --> 00:40:14.809
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Excellent. Thank you so much. Thank
you so much.
316
00:40:14.815 --> 00:40:18.475
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): That was very well thought through,
sir. I appreciate it. Thank you so much for help.
317
00:40:21.490 --> 00:40:28.590
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, thank you. Please feel free to
stick around if you would like, but no obligation. Okay. Thank you.
318
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:46.599
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): All right, moving on to the next
item on the agenda, item number two, architectural and site approval to
consider a public art installation for Bianca Way Townhomes, applicant
Mr. Leon Hu, property owner, location,
319
00:40:47.190 --> 00:40:50.110
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Etc. Bianchi Way.
320
00:40:50.115 --> 00:40:54.075
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): You're not gonna eat all the
numbers?
321
00:40:54.495 --> 00:40:59.095
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): 10,000. Don't, don't.
322
00:40:59.100 --> 00:41:11.619
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, the recommended action. Staff
recommends that the Arts and Culture Commission approve the public art
application for Bianchi Way Townhomes, subject to conditions of the draft
resolution.
323
00:41:14.550 --> 00:41:17.469
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, John Mark's here, to your
client.
324
00:41:17.475 --> 00:41:28.294
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Community Development Department. I
may want to introduce, again, Glennille Condon. She was the project
manager for the development, as well as this public art piece, as you
recall.
325
00:41:28.305 --> 00:41:39.284
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): This was first presented at the
March 23rd ACC meeting. The Planning Commission… I'm sorry, excuse me,
the Arts and Culture Commission, did have some comments, and
326
00:41:40.205 --> 00:41:45.125
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): suggested some revisions to the art
piece. So, tonight, the…
327
00:41:45.415 --> 00:41:53.575
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): applicant has… is ready, as well as
staff is ready to present those modifications in response to, the ACC's
motion.
328
00:41:53.685 --> 00:42:09.595
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, not much, but, again,
recommendations, and, the recommendation is that the ACC act on this and
approve the, the project that's presented, and I'll agree to miscondit to
present, the ASA.
329
00:42:09.755 --> 00:42:14.205
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Evening, Chair, Vice Chair,
Commissioners, State of Conduct.
330
00:42:14.210 --> 00:42:15.240
Quinlan Conference Room: associate player, what's.
331
00:42:15.242 --> 00:42:21.742
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, we are here to revisit the
public art installation at the Bianchi Townhomes Development.
332
00:42:23.592 --> 00:42:31.802
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Just a little background on this.
The applicant did process, or is processing, an architectural set
approval application to consider the public art installation.
333
00:42:32.352 --> 00:42:44.092
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): At the site of 170, 172, 174, 176,
178, 170… 180, 182.
334
00:42:46.132 --> 00:42:47.862
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't know, this is a separate…
335
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:59.510
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): The Arts and Culture Commission
asks the applicant team to return at a later date to address the
potential safety concerns.
336
00:43:01.940 --> 00:43:11.560
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): of the art piece. This included to
address potential safety concerns with sharp tips near the limb, and
changing the tilt or rounding the edges were a couple of the
recommendations.
337
00:43:11.770 --> 00:43:19.299
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): to reduce the accessibility of the
pedestal, and to bring to the Commission more evidence on the fabrication
and construction made by the select.
338
00:43:19.420 --> 00:43:22.179
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): In construction made by the
selected builder.
339
00:43:22.470 --> 00:43:26.049
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): More examples of sculptures made by
the silicone builder.
340
00:43:28.250 --> 00:43:39.380
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): The public park piece is located at
the northwest corner of the site. This is near the, public sidewalk, and
located within the landscaped front setback of the development.
341
00:43:41.490 --> 00:43:45.220
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): the creator, Amelia Ting, she has
342
00:43:45.370 --> 00:43:48.639
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Incorporated some of the
recommendations made by the Commission.
343
00:43:48.770 --> 00:43:57.169
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): She is here to talk further and
more in detail about those modifications, the fabrication, and the
installation that will occur on site.
344
00:43:59.460 --> 00:44:09.519
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): the modified… Our design has been
found consistent with the design criteria of the Cupertino, Chapter 19,
24-8.
345
00:44:11.740 --> 00:44:18.449
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Staff recommends that the
Commission approve the public art application subject to the conditions
of the draft resolution.
346
00:44:18.710 --> 00:44:25.099
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): And… If there are no questions from
the commissioners, then I can also bring up Amelia's presentation.
347
00:44:30.080 --> 00:44:30.990
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Go ahead.
348
00:45:05.860 --> 00:45:08.670
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Good evening, everyone. Once again,
my name.
349
00:45:08.675 --> 00:45:11.414
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's Amelia Trang, and I'm the
artist for this piece.
350
00:45:11.525 --> 00:45:13.744
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Just put the…
351
00:45:13.745 --> 00:45:22.954
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): a quick run-through of what the
inspiration was. It was inspiration, by my dance background at this, at
Cupertino, and in the long.
352
00:45:22.955 --> 00:45:23.975
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): local South.
353
00:45:23.980 --> 00:45:31.069
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): It is inspired by a dancer's move
called Erebus, hence the title of the name.
354
00:45:31.260 --> 00:45:37.429
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): And from what we've… We did make a
couple adjustments, based on what your recommendation.
355
00:45:37.430 --> 00:45:38.190
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): and Nations Forum.
356
00:45:38.190 --> 00:45:43.909
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): In terms of the sculpture, and also
we did have, like, a couple of.
357
00:45:43.915 --> 00:45:45.415
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Adjustments on the material side.
358
00:45:45.415 --> 00:45:46.404
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Just a quick.
359
00:45:46.405 --> 00:45:47.635
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): reintroduce those.
360
00:45:48.105 --> 00:46:00.395
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): The material, last time we did a
brushed stainless steel. We have hence changed it to a mirrored stainless
steel, and we have also, clarified that.
361
00:46:00.395 --> 00:46:01.915
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): The base is a.
362
00:46:01.915 --> 00:46:08.035
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): reinforced, concrete with… but it
would be, Boom.
363
00:46:08.035 --> 00:46:08.815
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): covered with.
364
00:46:08.820 --> 00:46:09.910
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Marble tile.
365
00:46:09.910 --> 00:46:10.999
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Marvel titled Inc.
366
00:46:11.310 --> 00:46:15.409
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): From last time, the base was, like,
around 2x2, we have X.
367
00:46:15.415 --> 00:46:20.204
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): stone, expanded it to a 4x4 base. It
is no longer.
368
00:46:20.205 --> 00:46:27.184
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): A full 2-foot height base, but more
of a 1-foot high base altogether.
369
00:46:28.850 --> 00:46:30.360
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Slide, please.
370
00:46:39.030 --> 00:46:41.169
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): But there's just bigger pictures
for.
371
00:46:41.175 --> 00:46:43.794
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): comparisons of the old.
372
00:46:44.370 --> 00:46:45.710
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): sculpture bottle.
373
00:46:45.710 --> 00:46:47.540
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): And also the new one.
374
00:46:48.475 --> 00:46:54.784
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have increased the base so that
it's less accessible to, on increased the size of the… the…
375
00:46:54.785 --> 00:46:56.215
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): square footage of the.
376
00:46:56.215 --> 00:47:04.735
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): base, so that it's less accessible.
It creates more of a boundary so that you don't really step into where
the sculpture is.
377
00:47:04.740 --> 00:47:06.110
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I've also gone.
378
00:47:06.290 --> 00:47:15.410
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): and also reproportion the sculpture
itself so that the limbs are overall higher than what was displayed
before.
379
00:47:16.060 --> 00:47:20.889
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I've also… Hey, a couple changes. We
have…
380
00:47:20.890 --> 00:47:26.910
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): added the nameplate that I
requested last time. I currently have it on the… bottom.
381
00:47:27.310 --> 00:47:31.710
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): corner of one of the face. That is
still there, yeah.
382
00:47:36.110 --> 00:47:47.509
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): I have here the calculations.
Calculation and weights were done by both the MBE consultants, and also
we have gotten confirmation.
383
00:47:47.515 --> 00:47:50.294
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): or weights from our fabricator
fines.
384
00:47:50.775 --> 00:47:53.984
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): oh my god.
385
00:47:56.145 --> 00:47:56.875
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Awesome.
386
00:47:59.445 --> 00:48:02.045
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And as for.
387
00:48:02.050 --> 00:48:16.620
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): For the installer and the
fabricator, we do have examples of art sculptures for them. For the
install, we are working with Tiger Construction, and then we here have
two sculptures by, installed by his team, one at Dublin.
388
00:48:16.625 --> 00:48:18.125
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Alford Center?
389
00:48:19.185 --> 00:48:26.355
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): in Dublin, California, and 11 female
types were… But… I know.
390
00:48:28.825 --> 00:48:38.144
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We also do have, examples of
applications, fabric, fabrications of sculptures from the dark theater
itself,
391
00:48:38.150 --> 00:48:38.530
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): EG.
392
00:48:38.535 --> 00:48:42.274
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): They do have a variety of material
they work with, so they do have marble.
393
00:48:42.275 --> 00:48:46.635
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): bronze, and also stainless steel.
It's quarterly rate.
394
00:48:48.690 --> 00:48:49.400
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's it.
395
00:48:52.110 --> 00:48:53.790
Quinlan Conference Room: Is that… Excuse me.
396
00:48:55.390 --> 00:49:02.550
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you so much for the updated
presentation. Similar as the last item, I'll…
397
00:49:02.700 --> 00:49:20.229
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): go around the room, and call on
commissioners to ask any technical or clarifying questions first. Please
limit it to one or two at most. Starting with, Vice Chairman? No
questions. Do you mind if it's over? I lose my.
398
00:49:20.235 --> 00:49:22.095
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh yeah, of course. Even 8.
399
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:23.719
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Pretty easily.
400
00:49:23.725 --> 00:49:27.375
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Please. Yeah, sure. Yeah. No
questions. Okay.
401
00:49:27.380 --> 00:49:30.709
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Any questions, Commissioner Panda?
402
00:49:31.200 --> 00:49:36.530
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): This one, does it make any
difference to the pricing of the additional new one that we updated?
403
00:49:36.710 --> 00:49:37.460
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Pisces.
404
00:49:37.465 --> 00:49:39.334
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): pricing-wise will be the same.
405
00:49:39.335 --> 00:49:44.594
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): As you see the previous
presentation, we rung up the tips to avoid.
406
00:49:44.595 --> 00:49:59.865
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, you know, the, previous,
safety concern. And also, we upgrade the, base from 2x2 to 4x4. The 2x2,
support, you know, 80 parts.
407
00:50:00.015 --> 00:50:05.065
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And the, 4x4, support up to 250
pounds.
408
00:50:05.125 --> 00:50:11.584
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, you know, that's 3 times more
than required. The actual sculpture is about 72 pounds.
409
00:50:11.595 --> 00:50:29.874
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): All right. So, yeah, we make those
corrections. And in the same time, you know, if you can see, you know,
from the website, the, fabricator, they, they, they have, you know, all
five-star reviews from their…
410
00:50:30.055 --> 00:50:42.665
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): past customers, zero complaints,
zero complaint. They deliver, you know, the finest quality products, you
know, to the consumers, all right? And the, for the installation.
411
00:50:42.705 --> 00:50:52.555
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): The, this, I'm working with,
Pentagon Construction to do the installation, you know, they are highly
qualified.
412
00:50:52.555 --> 00:51:06.724
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, since they got, you know,
over 100 projects done in Bay Area, all right? They build commercial,
residential, you know, the old housing probably have the base foundation.
And the framing, roofing is…
413
00:51:06.765 --> 00:51:22.365
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): building on the foundation. So,
this 4x4, you know, will be, you know, they are highly qualified, you
know, to do the installation for… for me. And the very last… I'm open,
you know, I'm, thank you all.
414
00:51:22.365 --> 00:51:31.994
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): for your time, and continue in, you
know, partnership in bringing my project to life. I'm welcome to any
question you may have.
415
00:51:32.585 --> 00:51:33.364
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): First of all, we.
416
00:51:33.365 --> 00:51:53.304
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): really appreciate your patience. I
know it is very hard when things get delayed, but we really appreciate
that you've been so patient with us and so encouraging. We love the
design, and now that the safety is in place, this is a perfect that, you
know, one can see in the society of the community. So really, kudos to
your patience and the hard work you've put. Lovely design. Thank you.
417
00:51:54.880 --> 00:52:14.520
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay. Yeah, thank you very much for,
taking our, recommendations, as also Commissioner, Handa and I have
reviewed it before coming. You've got the clearance of minimum, I think
it's already four and a half feet to the lowest limb that clears
418
00:52:15.240 --> 00:52:18.170
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): What was my hype? No.
419
00:52:18.175 --> 00:52:18.915
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): It clears all truth.
420
00:52:20.420 --> 00:52:43.419
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that's really good, and we see
the sharpness has been smoothed out. We had always liked the design, the
theme on the dance. So yeah, for me, this is, really good, and it looks
beautiful. Also, I like the marble, the change of, it is a different
finish.
421
00:52:43.420 --> 00:52:51.809
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So thank you for doing that. My only
question is, what is written on the… on the, on the, on the plan? What
would be written?
422
00:52:52.210 --> 00:52:54.910
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's her name. Yeah.
423
00:52:54.915 --> 00:52:55.945
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And also.
424
00:52:55.945 --> 00:52:57.174
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): for the title?
425
00:52:57.625 --> 00:53:00.585
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, it'll have the title, it'll
have the name, and also the.
426
00:53:00.585 --> 00:53:01.314
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): the date.
427
00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:02.039
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I know it's a bit.
428
00:53:02.905 --> 00:53:05.255
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Did you say anything about the
dance?
429
00:53:05.840 --> 00:53:12.330
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Or is it too much? Because if not
everyone knows what is Argus Libre.
430
00:53:12.330 --> 00:53:27.870
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): No. But I've just linked to you. I'm
just curious, because it's such a beautiful description. So, of course,
your name and the theme, if that's there, both, I even like the Libre.
It's really nice, very nice,
431
00:53:27.870 --> 00:53:31.130
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Very nice title. So, thank you very
much. Thank you, ma'am.
432
00:53:32.140 --> 00:53:37.219
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, Commissioner Chen, do you have
any clarifying questions?
433
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:43.640
14084215920: No, sounds like it's getting better, so I don't have any
other options.
434
00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:49.320
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, and then, yeah, from me, no
additional… Thank you.
435
00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:49.850
14084215920: No.
436
00:53:50.740 --> 00:53:59.469
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I really appreciate, you all for
taking our feedback, and making the adjustments from our last meeting.
Thank you. Okay.
437
00:53:59.475 --> 00:54:16.695
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): recommendation, just not question.
Your name also should be there. You are the producer, like a movie, you
know, director and producer. Both names should be there on that, for
times to come. Even when you're not, you're not here, your name will
remain. And, you know, that's such a big thing that you're producing, so
your name should also go in there.
438
00:54:16.695 --> 00:54:21.195
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, I'm not.
439
00:54:21.195 --> 00:54:23.765
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Alright, thank you for coming.
440
00:54:23.770 --> 00:54:24.610
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, sis.
441
00:54:25.095 --> 00:54:31.805
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, now I'd like to open it for
public comment. Do we have any, people wishing to speak?
442
00:54:31.810 --> 00:54:32.500
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have an.
443
00:54:32.505 --> 00:54:34.075
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): speakers. Okay.
444
00:54:34.380 --> 00:54:38.470
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Now I'll bring it back to the
Commission for a discussion and a motion.
445
00:54:38.710 --> 00:54:39.310

00:54:39.955 --> 00:54:47.564
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): start? Yeah, I can suggest a motion,
because all our requests have been complied to. I'll go ahead and request
that it just be approved.
448
00:54:48.560 --> 00:54:49.580
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I could second it.
449
00:54:52.540 --> 00:54:52.860
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): U.S.
450
00:54:54.350 --> 00:55:02.120
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): In terms of the wording, should it
be that…
451
00:55:04.300 --> 00:55:10.520
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Basically, we follow… accept the
recommended action as listed in the agenda. Yes, sir.
452
00:55:11.970 --> 00:55:21.220
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And even with the… as you know,
even with the motion on the table in a second, you still have a
discussion on that motion. Okay. Any discussions?
453
00:55:22.160 --> 00:55:28.050
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): I love it. We love, yeah, we already
love the design, it was just a safety concern. They have it dressed
beautiful.

a quick break, or are we good to keep on going?
470
00:56:29.220 --> 00:56:30.379
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm good. Pretty exciting.
471
00:56:30.770 --> 00:56:33.489
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): A lot of people fitting the house.
It's a nice…
472
00:56:34.570 --> 00:56:35.680
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): the backdits?
473
00:56:36.970 --> 00:56:37.980
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): unchecked.
474
00:56:38.360 --> 00:56:40.659
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Do you know this brown back that is?
475
00:56:40.665 --> 00:56:45.904
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, that's mine. Oh, good. It's
old.
476
00:56:46.485 --> 00:56:54.095
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, thank you all for being here.
We're… we're honored to have you join us today.
477
00:56:54.215 --> 00:57:09.064
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Moving on to Agenda item number 3,
Architectural and Site Approval, ASA 2026-007, to consider a public art
installation for Valencia townhomes.
478
00:57:09.065 --> 00:57:26.995
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Applicant, Summerhill Homes, LLC,
location 20830 Stevens Creek Boulevard, APN 35908031. The recommended
action, staff recommends that the Arts and Culture Commission approve the
public art
479
00:57:27.125 --> 00:57:35.855
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): public art application for Summer
Hills Valencia townhomes, subject to conditions of the draft resolution.
Great.
480
00:57:36.175 --> 00:57:38.345
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): John Mark's here again.
481
00:57:38.345 --> 00:57:44.894
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Here, I'm about to introduce, Amy
Sujiyama, Senior Planner in the Community Development Department. She was
a project
482
00:57:45.585 --> 00:58:02.214
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): subdivision, as well. She's a
project manager at ASA, which is similar to the last, with the last item,
was condition of approval to provide the site. This project is not as far
as long as the other one. This is…
483
00:58:02.485 --> 00:58:07.105
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, yeah. So, they're pretty early
on in the process, so…
484
00:58:08.030 --> 00:58:13.669
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And we love that you brought this to
the Commission at this stage.
485
00:58:14.540 --> 00:58:16.189
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'll see you all.
486
00:58:16.430 --> 00:58:19.739
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): All right, as John mentioned, Emmy
Siam, I'm a Senior Planning City.
487
00:58:19.745 --> 00:58:22.855
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Cupertino, and I was the original
project planner for.
488
00:58:22.860 --> 00:58:38.299
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): this. Currently, Summerhill Homes,
the applicant for the original development, is requesting an ASA to
consider their public art installation. As noted, it is the Valencia
Townhomes development, and it's just right over there on Stevens Creek at
the old Staples site.
489
00:58:41.810 --> 00:58:55.110
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): And as you all, I'm sure, are
aware, we do require public art when there is development of greater than
10,000 square feet. In this case, they are proposing 59 new townhomes,
each about 1,300 square feet, so rock.
490
00:58:55.320 --> 00:59:03.719
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): 36,000 square feet of development
overall, and that was approved by our City Council on July 1st of 2025.
491
00:59:05.360 --> 00:59:20.760
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, and here you can see just a
general site plan. The applicant has proposed a public art plaza located
in the upper northeastern corner, outlined in red here, and then the
location of the public art is identified by the yellow star.
492
00:59:22.970 --> 00:59:30.859
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): And here's just a quick preview of
what that public art will be. I'll allow the artist and the applicant to
kind of give you a more in-depth overview.
493
00:59:33.680 --> 00:59:49.069
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so we do require 1% of the
project construction value for this project. The construction value is
$243 million, so they are proposing a, I believe, 200… sorry, 24.3,
goodness gracious, Emmy.
494
00:59:49.070 --> 00:59:56.539
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): $24.3 million, and they are
proposing a $243, roughly, $1,000 valued.
495
01:00:00.070 --> 01:00:16.860
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): And we have reviewed this. We
believe that it meets the review criteria in that it is integrated with
the landscape and architecture on the site. It is very easily visible
from the public right-of-way. They, in fact, have planned to remove a
couple of street trees to ensure that passersby can see it from their
vehicles.
496
01:00:16.860 --> 01:00:24.750
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): They are made of permanent
materials, it's a local artist, again, that'll be more in-depth, you can
hear that later, and it will incorporate a plaster.
497
01:00:26.400 --> 01:00:39.560
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so, with that, we are
recommending that you approve this public art as it's proposed, and I
will hand it over to the applicant's team so they can give you, again, a
more in-depth review of the project.
498
01:00:42.960 --> 01:00:50.370
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then, sorry to interrupt, at
some point, will you be going over the draft resolution? I absolutely
can, yeah.
499
01:00:50.820 --> 01:00:56.000
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): But were you planning to do this
later, or… Well… Typically, we haven't gone through.
500
01:00:56.005 --> 01:01:07.264
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): We've never presented the
resolution. The conditions of approval are pretty much the same
throughout the whole… unless the Commission wants to add further
conditions themselves, such as design modifications, like this commission
has done.
501
01:01:07.725 --> 01:01:09.715
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): A few years ago,
502
01:01:09.825 --> 01:01:21.054
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): But if you'd like to have a… we can
show the… I mean, the resolution was attached to the agenda packet,
correct? So if you want 30 conditions approval, you want to go over, or
you want everybody to…
503
01:01:21.215 --> 01:01:25.145
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Project the conditions of approval,
that's fine.
504
01:01:25.625 --> 01:01:28.375
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Why don't we just start with the
presentation?
505
01:01:28.605 --> 01:01:33.265
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'll pull it up because I'm curious,
but… Please, feel free.
506
01:01:34.925 --> 01:01:41.205
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): be presenting. Oh, I will share
yours, so that you should be able to…
507
01:01:51.180 --> 01:01:53.380
Quinlan Conference Room: Thank you so much, Emmy. Kind of did a lot.
508
01:01:53.380 --> 01:01:59.759
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): my work for me, so that was
wonderful. Good evening, Commissioners, so happy to be here. My name is
Sean Bristiva.
509
01:01:59.765 --> 01:02:23.545
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Frito, and I'm a public art
advisor. I've been working with Summerhill. A couple representatives are
here today, to first envision where art could be, although they had made
a lot of progress by the time I came on board, so that was great. And
then, as you'll see, we had a process to select an artist, and I've been
helping facilitate the process of coming up with the design, working with
the artists.
510
01:02:23.655 --> 01:02:32.185
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I'm sorry that the artists
couldn't be here in person today, but Anna from WOW House will be
presenting after my short introduction.
511
01:02:32.325 --> 01:02:46.504
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, as Emmy said, this is quite an
extensive development project. There are 59 for-sale townhomes that will
be, within 8 Mediterranean-style buildings.
512
01:02:46.505 --> 01:02:53.635
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): And that is all, within a
landscaped site that's, 2.97 acres.
513
01:02:53.635 --> 01:03:02.024
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): So it's quite large. And the first
homes are anticipated to be complete in the fall of 2027.
514
01:03:03.255 --> 01:03:05.475
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, you can go forward.
515
01:03:05.635 --> 01:03:19.245
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): I just actually did this bit of the
intro, so… And this is just an aerial view to give you a sense of where
this is in the city, not far away, and somewhat close to De Anza College.
516
01:03:19.435 --> 01:03:29.935
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): So we'll move on to the next. I'm
going to keep my part brief so Anna has more time. These are just some
photos of the area to give you a sense of the site and its surroundings.
517
01:03:30.045 --> 01:03:32.054
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): And we can move on to the next.
518
01:03:32.655 --> 01:03:39.884
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): And this is a site plan, which you
saw a version in Andy's, Andy's presentation. Welcome to the next.
519
01:03:40.065 --> 01:03:51.615
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): And here we have, again, a site
plan that's highlighted with the actual location of the art, and that's
in this plaza that's at the northeast corner of the project.
520
01:03:51.615 --> 01:04:02.274
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Which has had been identified as a
very likely location for public art by the time I got there, because
Summer Hill and their landscape architect really gave a lot of thought to
that.
521
01:04:02.335 --> 01:04:17.284
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): So this area is, as Emmy said, very
visible to the general public, given, you know, all the traffic that goes
by on Stevens Creek Boulevard. It also has a pedestrian walkway, and it's
fully accessible to, the general public.
522
01:04:17.385 --> 01:04:33.794
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that's wonderful. Another bonus
is the adjacent site. Right next to the plaza has a sort of, you know,
simply landscaped area, so instead of, fully blocking off this plaza,
the, Summerhill kind of
523
01:04:33.795 --> 01:04:37.675
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Hold back the fence between them,
so there's kind of a nice flow.
524
01:04:37.675 --> 01:04:41.064
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Between this new plaza and this
sort of landscaped
525
01:04:41.065 --> 01:04:44.115
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): area that's next to it. Kind of a
simple… It's understandable.
526
01:04:44.120 --> 01:04:52.629
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm really curious, that's a… you
said near De Anza, so is it, like, towards the freeway, or where exactly
is this summer now?
527
01:04:53.240 --> 01:04:55.430
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conference Room): The global target.
528
01:04:55.435 --> 01:04:56.775
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Stevens Creek.
529
01:04:56.980 --> 01:04:58.100
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Steven Strick Target.
530
01:04:58.105 --> 01:04:58.845
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): The pizza.
531
01:04:58.850 --> 01:04:59.739
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): And staples that were.
532
01:04:59.745 --> 01:05:06.245
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, that's okay. Just a crush.
533
01:05:06.790 --> 01:05:08.729
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, you're bullshit.
534
01:05:08.735 --> 01:05:09.465
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): oldest people…
535
01:05:09.470 --> 01:05:13.270
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): It is the staples. Is that context
the staples? Yes.
536
01:05:13.275 --> 01:05:16.235
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Whole Foods? Yes.
537
01:05:16.235 --> 01:05:17.715
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm a blanket.
538
01:05:17.715 --> 01:05:18.475
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conference Room): Hesitate.
539
01:05:18.475 --> 01:05:20.095
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's us.
540
01:05:20.095 --> 01:05:25.974
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, previous presentation, just down
the road from there, probably 30.
541
01:05:25.975 --> 01:05:29.115
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): steps. Okay, just a space.
542
01:05:29.730 --> 01:05:31.969
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): So we'll go to the next slide.
543
01:05:32.430 --> 01:05:37.730
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I'm just going to tell you
briefly how we got to this point. So, next slide, please.
544
01:05:37.830 --> 01:05:56.750
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): So as part of this process, to
identify an artist, for the project, the Summer Team, Summerhill team,
and I, including their landscape architect, reviewed 13 artists who we
thought were capable, or, you know, this is my field, so I have a lot of
network of artists. Those who
545
01:05:56.750 --> 01:06:00.929
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Really have the experience, and
sort of the,
546
01:06:01.450 --> 01:06:10.600
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): the approach that would be
appropriate for a project like this. We also really focused on local
artists, meaning those from the Bay Area. So, among those…
547
01:06:10.605 --> 01:06:15.624
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Bay Area, not Cupertino. Yes. When
the final artist, where does it come from?
548
01:06:15.625 --> 01:06:22.694
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sebastopol, and also, they had a
studio in Oakland for a long time, so North Bay and East Bay.
549
01:06:23.105 --> 01:06:24.625
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): two artists. It's one artist.
550
01:06:24.625 --> 01:06:32.275
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): team, and they have two locations,
a studio and a residence, where they also make art, so… Okay, so Oakland,
and Oakland.
551
01:06:32.275 --> 01:06:33.635
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): and Sebastopol.
552
01:06:34.220 --> 01:06:45.120
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I guess as an order of
clarification, I believe there's a dedicated section for questions after
the presentation, so… Yes.
553
01:06:45.125 --> 01:06:48.125
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): I use it for melody. I don't find
two questions.
554
01:06:48.870 --> 01:07:03.190
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): to the formality. So, we
interviewed 3 of those finalists, and Wow House, the two-artist team,
was, unanimously, selected. They have, an incredible amount of
experience.
555
01:07:03.190 --> 01:07:09.650
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): The sort of aesthetic and their
interest in really being very site-specific, site-responsive.
556
01:07:09.650 --> 01:07:13.859
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Really tuning each work to the
place was very much what we were looking for.
557
01:07:14.290 --> 01:07:31.349
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, if you'll go to the next slide,
please. So, just a little background about WowHouse. They were founded in
1997, and they're a transdisciplinary art and design team, and they're
based in the San Francisco Bay Area, specifically Sebastopol, with the
studio for a long time in Oakland.
558
01:07:31.360 --> 01:07:46.619
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's a collaboration between Scott
Constable and Anna Osteris Constable, who you'll hear from soon, and they
have extensive experience creating site-responsive public art. So this is
very much in their wheelhouse.
559
01:07:46.620 --> 01:08:05.859
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Their work explores cultural,
historical, and ecological factors that shape a sense of place. And these
are just four of their many projects that you'll see on their resume from
the next page are very extensive. So they have completed over 30 public
art commissions throughout the United States.
560
01:08:05.860 --> 01:08:16.480
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Here in California, of course, many
of them, but also in Colorado, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Wisconsin,
Washington State, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Ohio.
561
01:08:17.319 --> 01:08:18.290
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): And next.
562
01:08:18.850 --> 01:08:28.410
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): And Anna earned her a Bachelor of
Fine Arts from the University of Massachusetts, and Scott earned a BFA in
Sculpture from RISD.
563
01:08:29.210 --> 01:08:36.009
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): And with that, I'm very happy to
turn it over to Anna on Zoom, who will introduce their proposed project.
Thank you.
564
01:08:38.130 --> 01:08:40.139
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Good evening, everybody. You can hear me?
565
01:08:40.540 --> 01:08:41.380
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes.
566
01:08:41.680 --> 01:08:59.310
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Great. I'm so sorry not to be there in person. It
was a very unexpected last-minute development, and we apologize, but I'm
very happy to be here via Zoom. Thank goodness for Zoom. And, my partner,
Scott Constable, is part of the artist duo of WowHus. That's what we go
by as the… as the…
567
01:08:59.470 --> 01:09:06.340
Ene Osteraas-Constable: as the studio name. My name is Anna, and my
husband Scott is my partner in the artist duo of Wow House.
568
01:09:06.740 --> 01:09:10.219
Ene Osteraas-Constable: I'm gonna just say next as we move along here.
Next?
569
01:09:11.380 --> 01:09:19.330
Ene Osteraas-Constable: We are thrilled about this project. Honestly, the
inspiration behind the artwork.
570
01:09:19.550 --> 01:09:33.929
Ene Osteraas-Constable: was the history and culture of Cupertino. And
when we started doing research, which we always do with our site-specific
work, we dug in and we, you know, were very inspired by the cherry
blossom orchards in the region historically.
571
01:09:33.930 --> 01:09:47.869
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And then also hit upon the fact that, of course,
cherry blossoms, for those of you who may know, they widely symbolize
prosperity, good fortune, renewal, community, and the beauty of life and
nature in many cultures.
572
01:09:47.870 --> 01:10:01.350
Ene Osteraas-Constable: So there was a beautiful resonance there between
the history and culture in a specific way, and then in a more generalized
way, a symbol of optimism and positivity that really embodies to us a lot
of what Cupertino is about. So…
573
01:10:01.370 --> 01:10:15.000
Ene Osteraas-Constable: That was our background research for the artwork,
and as you can see here, it is a landmark artwork. It's highly visible
from Stevens Creek Boulevard, and both day and night. So I'm going to
move through and share a little bit more with you about it.
574
01:10:15.140 --> 01:10:16.020
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Next.
575
01:10:17.080 --> 01:10:19.799
Ene Osteraas-Constable: I think I just said most of what was there.
576
01:10:20.090 --> 01:10:28.949
Ene Osteraas-Constable: But I can tell you that the material is Corten
steel, and and a exterior-grade polymer with LED lighting.
577
01:10:29.100 --> 01:10:46.769
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And let me think if there's anything else here
that you need to know. I think that also, of course, it's both beautiful,
but very low maintenance and highly durable. Having done this work for
over 25 years, we have a tremendous amount of experience in terms of
thinking about the pragmatic aspects of design for public spaces as well.
578
01:10:47.050 --> 01:10:47.870
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Next.
579
01:10:49.920 --> 01:10:55.109
Ene Osteraas-Constable: This is an example of daytime, nighttime,
experiences of the artwork.
580
01:10:55.280 --> 01:10:56.240
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next.
581
01:10:58.520 --> 01:10:59.889
Ene Osteraas-Constable: the dimensions.
582
01:11:00.370 --> 01:11:12.389
Ene Osteraas-Constable: There will be a footing engineered by a
structural engineer, a licensed structural engineer. That is still TBD,
so this is not the actual rendering of the footing, but there will be
one. All of our artwork,
583
01:11:12.390 --> 01:11:20.480
Ene Osteraas-Constable: work… we work with a licensed structural
engineer, and then these are the overall dimensions. And as you can see,
the lowest flower is about 9 feet.
584
01:11:20.510 --> 01:11:25.870
Ene Osteraas-Constable: From the ground, and there will be flowers
surrounding the artwork as well. Next.
585
01:11:27.610 --> 01:11:35.899
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Corten steel, if you're not familiar with it, is
a beautiful material, very often used in sculpture. It is a…
586
01:11:35.900 --> 01:11:48.620
Ene Osteraas-Constable: has a beautiful quality to it. It's hard to
describe, and I'm disappointed I couldn't bring you the sample today, but
it has a… those of you who do know it love it, and those of you who don't
will learn to love it, because it's really a gorgeous…
587
01:11:48.620 --> 01:11:57.400
Ene Osteraas-Constable: rich, colored material of metal, and very highly
durable exterior-grade material, time-honored sculpture material. Next.
588
01:11:59.080 --> 01:12:16.160
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And then the blossoms, this is a rather detailed
illustration of how they'll be assembled, but they will be using… we'll
be using a highly durable exterior-grade alkyl enamel paint over
stainless steel framing. There's custom hardware on all of the flowers.
589
01:12:16.160 --> 01:12:20.159
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And then there's LED lighting integrated into the
pieces as well.
590
01:12:20.160 --> 01:12:27.119
Ene Osteraas-Constable: So each of these is a beautiful artwork unto
themselves, and then they combine into this graceful composition.
591
01:12:29.260 --> 01:12:33.599
Ene Osteraas-Constable: I'm gonna give you just a minute to take a look
at that, just to see how it's made.
592
01:12:33.870 --> 01:12:36.160
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Next.
593
01:12:38.580 --> 01:12:52.899
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Next, now, thanks. So again, this is the polymer
material. Exterior-grade polymer. It's Threeform is a company that's,
very respected, makes this exterior-grade material, and, there are quite
a few sculptures.
594
01:12:52.900 --> 01:12:59.349
Ene Osteraas-Constable: in the, there's actually the bus stops in San
Francisco feature this material, and there was just one done at the San
Francisco port.
595
01:12:59.350 --> 01:13:07.339
Ene Osteraas-Constable: That is also, the same material, so it's a very
consistent, durable medium for this artwork. Next.
596
01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:16.459
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And this is the assembly structure, which is
probably getting a little too into the weeds, but you can get a sense of
the fact that
597
01:13:16.460 --> 01:13:30.759
Ene Osteraas-Constable: The fabricator we work with is very respected and
has a great sense of engineering, and we've worked with him on developing
this, and we're actually going to be prototyping and testing all of the
structures related to this particular armature structure.
598
01:13:30.790 --> 01:13:38.939
Ene Osteraas-Constable: There's a thin rubber gasket between the metal
and the polymer, and this is the fabrication method. Next.
599
01:13:41.990 --> 01:13:58.820
Ene Osteraas-Constable: You can get a sense of how you, would encounter
the artwork on the streetscape, and what's wonderful is it works on a
human scale. One of the things we're looking for with artwork, for me at
least, is looking for it to work on a human scale for people walking by
on the street, and also at a street-based level.
600
01:13:58.820 --> 01:14:10.860
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Going by. And this really achieves both of those
goals, and so it has that sort of intimacy when you get up close, it'll
feel… it will be warm and welcoming, but at a distance, it's all very
striking and iconic.
601
01:14:10.860 --> 01:14:17.079
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And that's one of the key features for me of a
successful public sculpture in a situation like this. Next.
602
01:14:18.790 --> 01:14:21.320
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Site integration and identifying plaque.
603
01:14:23.910 --> 01:14:24.770
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Next.
604
01:14:26.650 --> 01:14:36.909
Ene Osteraas-Constable: We worked very closely with the landscape
architects on this, and that is, I think, a really key feature of our
work, and also a key thing that interested us about this project, because
it's beautifully landscaped.
605
01:14:36.910 --> 01:14:48.870
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And so we worked everything from thinking about
the paving formation, which was custom designed around the artwork itself
into this beautiful circular pattern, to the plantings, which all
complement the color palette, as you can see.
606
01:14:48.870 --> 01:14:50.920
Ene Osteraas-Constable: So this was all very thoughtfully… and this…
607
01:14:50.920 --> 01:14:54.929
Ene Osteraas-Constable: This evolved. At the outset, this is not what the
design looked like.
608
01:14:54.930 --> 01:15:17.499
Ene Osteraas-Constable: But in response to thinking about that particular
artwork, we were able to collaborate, and I think really maximize the
impact of both the artwork and complement the landscaping in a really
wonderful way. This is one of the things that we do regularly, but it was
very successful in this case, and we're very pleased with the results.
These are the plantings here that you can see that'll be in the planting
plan, and the sculpture is in that circular red
609
01:15:17.500 --> 01:15:18.650
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Circle there.
610
01:15:18.650 --> 01:15:31.490
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And the paving itself is concrete pavers that are
set in this circular pattern. So there's a very high sense of quality to
all the materials, they all work together beautifully. The sculpture, the
paving, the plantings.
611
01:15:31.810 --> 01:15:32.620
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Next.
612
01:15:35.500 --> 01:15:42.900
Ene Osteraas-Constable: This gives you a more close-up view of the actual
sculpture itself, and its relationship to Stevens Creek Boulevard and the
landscaping there.
613
01:15:44.500 --> 01:15:47.370
Ene Osteraas-Constable: The… again, the artwork is in the circular space.
614
01:15:47.560 --> 01:15:48.420
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Next.
615
01:15:51.480 --> 01:16:02.109
Ene Osteraas-Constable: This is the identification plaque location, and I
heard your discussion about identification plaques before. In this
situation, we would have the name, the date.
616
01:16:02.120 --> 01:16:09.739
Ene Osteraas-Constable: The medium, and there would be a narrative, a
short narrative sentence or two that describes the underlying concept.
617
01:16:09.740 --> 01:16:24.499
Ene Osteraas-Constable: that I shared with you, related to both the
agricultural history of the region with the cherry orchards, and then
also the symbolism of the cherry blossom, which adds, I think, a depth of
understanding for folks going by and appreciation for the underlying
concept of the artwork.
618
01:16:25.050 --> 01:16:36.720
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Even though it'll work without knowing any of
that. That's also important, too. You might not know, but if you do know,
it adds… it adds depth to the experience. And you can see around there
the circular paving.
619
01:16:37.250 --> 01:16:39.339
Ene Osteraas-Constable: It's really quite elegant design.
620
01:16:39.500 --> 01:16:40.320
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Next.
621
01:16:42.330 --> 01:16:49.980
Ene Osteraas-Constable: This is the plaque itself, so here we have the
narrative description, our names, and then the title and the medium.
622
01:16:50.120 --> 01:17:01.680
Ene Osteraas-Constable: This is a highly durable cast aluminum plaque
that will be integrated… they'll be basically in with the plantings,
which is a very typical method of integrating identification in
landscape.
623
01:17:02.040 --> 01:17:02.930
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Next.
624
01:17:06.400 --> 01:17:09.020
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Oh, maintenance plan,
625
01:17:09.830 --> 01:17:23.069
Ene Osteraas-Constable: let's see, I'm just trying to double-check here
what we're looking at related to the details that you'd want to know.
Well, we can tell you the fabricator, again, Healer Metalcraft, very
respected fabricator who we've worked with in the past, and has… does,
626
01:17:23.320 --> 01:17:35.319
Ene Osteraas-Constable: public sculpture nationwide. The art lighting
will be specifying the specific LED TBD, and then the basic materials
that I shared with you before, the weathering steel.
627
01:17:35.480 --> 01:17:39.839
Ene Osteraas-Constable: polymer, stainless, exterior grade paint and LED
lighting. Next.
628
01:17:43.570 --> 01:17:55.249
Ene Osteraas-Constable: So, the key thing out of any maintenance plan is,
you know, often what not to do. So, we really specifically say no
chemicals, no,
629
01:17:55.590 --> 01:18:09.790
Ene Osteraas-Constable: harsh sprays, no harsh brushes, and then we
specify specific materials that should be used, but I think it's actually
really key that in this case, those are really the things, when
something's well designed to be highly
630
01:18:09.790 --> 01:18:20.110
Ene Osteraas-Constable: durable and low maintenance, really, it should…
in this case, we just wash it off with a brush of water and a soft cloth.
That's really the key, main maintenance for it.
631
01:18:20.130 --> 01:18:22.110
Ene Osteraas-Constable: So…
632
01:18:22.360 --> 01:18:37.800
Ene Osteraas-Constable: The details are here, but I'm not sure we're
going to take the time for that. So let's keep moving, and we can go into
that if you need to. The estimated schedule, we're on schedule, happily,
and the goal is to have the artwork done in time for the opening of the
first homes.
633
01:18:37.950 --> 01:18:48.809
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And we are well known for being on schedule and
within budget, working with a lot of developers in the Bay Area, and we
really appreciate and respect the importance of
634
01:18:49.110 --> 01:18:50.090
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Schedule.
635
01:18:50.210 --> 01:19:06.430
Ene Osteraas-Constable: and organization and communications, and your
committee is clearly very accomplished, so we're… it's an honor to work
with people like you, because it's clear you know what you're doing. So,
this is the schedule, and that would mean something, I'm sure, to
everyone. Next.
636
01:19:06.540 --> 01:19:07.360
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Thank you.
637
01:19:07.630 --> 01:19:08.550
Ene Osteraas-Constable: That's it!
638
01:19:10.940 --> 01:19:12.080
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Very good.
639
01:19:16.870 --> 01:19:23.529
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you so much for the
presentation. Now I'll open it up to the commissioners for any,
questions.
640
01:19:24.250 --> 01:19:29.060
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Let's go in the same order as last
time, Vice Chair. Thank you.
641
01:19:29.560 --> 01:19:36.230
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, yeah, let's try to limit it to
3 questions, up to 3 questions per Commissioner.
642
01:19:36.930 --> 01:19:52.550
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Anna, have you used LED strips or
LED lighting in the past? Do you have experience with that? And the
context for my question is, you know, the metal and the rest of the
fabrication is probably very robust. Electronics fails.
643
01:19:52.810 --> 01:19:53.440
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right.
644
01:19:53.440 --> 01:20:06.190
Ene Osteraas-Constable: It's designed… it's designed specifically, which
is why I spent time sharing with you that construction method. It's
designed for those LED strips to be laid in to the actual
645
01:20:06.550 --> 01:20:29.529
Ene Osteraas-Constable: forms such that you can indeed replace them
easily. And that's why I shared with you the real details of that,
because that's partly what we're doing is anticipating maintenance. The
lifespan, as you know, if you know LED lighting, the lifespan of LEDs has
gotten exponentially better every year. We are using LED… we've used LED
in other projects. We just finished one for Lennar.
646
01:20:29.590 --> 01:20:42.460
Ene Osteraas-Constable: That has LED lighting in it, and the kind of the
running joke was, my goodness, they just keep getting better and better.
We haven't used the specific strip, but there's no question that there's
many industrial-grade LED strips that.
647
01:20:42.460 --> 01:20:42.970
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Fair.
648
01:20:42.970 --> 01:20:46.719
Ene Osteraas-Constable: for that. And we can program them to shift in
color.
649
01:20:46.850 --> 01:20:54.509
Ene Osteraas-Constable: So, if we wanted to, we could even, you know, add
color option easily if that was something that was of interest. So, yeah.
650
01:20:55.580 --> 01:20:57.800
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Second one is just…
651
01:20:58.120 --> 01:21:03.140
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): something really positive, I think,
which is… Finally, some color.
652
01:21:06.540 --> 01:21:07.180
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Awesome.
653
01:21:07.450 --> 01:21:11.030
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Shiny Steam. Thank you.
654
01:21:13.060 --> 01:21:13.690
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Thanks.
655
01:21:15.010 --> 01:21:34.100
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sure. I'll just continue with the
color thing that you mentioned. I was looking at the overall structure
when they showed, the pink looks very out of, say, there's no
consistency, no pink elsewhere. And also, when you showed pictures, it
had green, pink, green, pink. There's no leaf in this. I mean, it's not a
safety issue, but…
656
01:21:35.070 --> 01:21:51.810
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Like, it was a bit, like, looking
for me in their structure. It wasn't that appealing to me. For some
reason, there's no green, it's only pink. So it's… there's a balance
lacking in that art form. So, like, there might be some reason behind it,
but I'm just being honest.
657
01:21:51.810 --> 01:21:56.389
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Yeah. Okay. No, I appreciate that. The thing is,
this is an abstraction.
658
01:21:56.560 --> 01:22:14.089
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And so, the whole thing is an abstraction. None
of it is a figurative, realistic illustration of a flower. That would be
a completely different sculpture. And so, if we were to move in that
direction, in fact, if we were to do abstract leaves, then you'd have
neither nor.
659
01:22:14.220 --> 01:22:16.880
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Do you know what I mean? It would look a little
bit like, why are those
660
01:22:16.920 --> 01:22:36.129
Ene Osteraas-Constable: leaves, not quite leaf-looking, you know, because
what it is right now is you can look at those flowers, they are almost
like an abstract painting, like a Picasso or something. Nobody looks at
Picasso and says, oh, that doesn't really look like a person, because
they're not ex… it's a certain style. And so I appreciate your point
about the greenery. I think the greenery comes in with the plantings.
661
01:22:36.130 --> 01:22:49.590
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And that was partly why we were so focused on
making sure we integrated with landscape. And there's also trees around,
there's a lot of greenery elsewhere, so I agree with you, I understand
your point, but I think stylistically, actually.
662
01:22:49.910 --> 01:22:52.020
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Just to beg to differ is that
663
01:22:52.140 --> 01:23:00.000
Ene Osteraas-Constable: given that particular style of sculpture, I think
you would not ultimately be happy even if you saw it
664
01:23:00.150 --> 01:23:04.919
Ene Osteraas-Constable: In its, in, in its form, because of the style of
the artwork itself.
665
01:23:05.000 --> 01:23:17.390
Ene Osteraas-Constable: It would look kind of awkward. If we did a fully
realistic sculpture of flowers, that's one thing, for sure, but that's
not really what we're doing here, especially given the size of this.
666
01:23:17.470 --> 01:23:19.910
Ene Osteraas-Constable: You want something more architectonic?
667
01:23:19.990 --> 01:23:32.670
Ene Osteraas-Constable: and more graphic, because you want it to be seen
from the street, and you want it to feel bold. And as soon as you move
into those really soft… I mean, if you really look at a flower and
leaves, and you're talking to a person here who loves flowers and plants.
668
01:23:32.670 --> 01:23:45.060
Ene Osteraas-Constable: So, just saying, Chandra knows this about me, I'm
just passionate about them, I was really into the flowers they picked for
this site. It's really just a question of what's appropriate for the site
and the scale of what you're working, and what your goals are.
669
01:23:45.070 --> 01:23:56.339
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And if we did a very delicate small flower, it
would disappear in the streetscape. It's a very demanding site that way.
You really couldn't justify the kind of delicacy of the organic form.
670
01:23:56.760 --> 01:24:16.250
Ene Osteraas-Constable: I think that's really… and we thought a lot… I
mean, obviously, I think a lot about flowers, so I hear you on that. And
I… you know, if there weren't all the green in the rest of the site,
that'd be one thing, but we really imbued the space with a natural
feeling, and I think that that's what's going to ultimately come across.
So I don't think you'll find yourself missing those when you actually see
it.
671
01:24:16.840 --> 01:24:26.020
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Absolutely, I'm looking forward. So
it's not the size, I meant the same size, but just a balance of colors,
but I'm sure you have a reason of what you're doing and why you're doing
it.
672
01:24:26.740 --> 01:24:44.759
Ene Osteraas-Constable: The other thing is that because the pieces are
translucent, they will have an organicity to them that will shift and
change, as opposed to something that's just painted and all one thing. So
there will actually be shifting and changing in nature the same way that
light falls on petals differently.
673
01:24:44.760 --> 01:24:57.959
Ene Osteraas-Constable: it will feel more, more, organic because of that,
as opposed to… right, so that's another factor that's hard to convey.
It's always so frustrating when we show renderings, because it's only
when you're finished that you go, oh.
674
01:24:57.960 --> 01:25:09.680
Ene Osteraas-Constable: I see. You know, it's hard. I mean, we're really
using a very simple medium to convey… the whole point is it should be
different in person, it should have more soulfulness, and it will have
more soulfulness, yeah.
675
01:25:09.680 --> 01:25:17.340
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): One was the LED lights, are they
solar, or are they connected? Are they wired or solar?
676
01:25:17.340 --> 01:25:32.179
Ene Osteraas-Constable: They… they… I wish they were solar, but they're
not. They're gonna be wired to… there's a stub out with the electrical,
yeah. Eventually, hopefully they'll all be solar, but this particular one
is not. Yeah, it would add… it would add cost and complication, so…
677
01:25:32.820 --> 01:25:39.379
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): what's the longevity of each LED
bulb? Like, just to understand the usage, the change, frequency.
678
01:25:39.380 --> 01:25:39.684
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Well.
679
01:25:40.030 --> 01:25:48.659
Ene Osteraas-Constable: The longevity of LED, as anyone who works with it
will tell you, depends on usage. So, during the summer, for instance,
there'll be less
680
01:25:48.670 --> 01:26:13.490
Ene Osteraas-Constable: time that it's used versus the winter. At least
10 years, at least, and often longer. There… and like I said, it's
designed specifically in mind for that, but most people say that, and
then they say, oh, but really, it's a lot longer. You know, when you talk
to the pros, they just aren't going to come out and talk about it that
way. So it just depends, really, on how… what the circumstances are for
how often it's lit, too. That's a… that's a judgment call as to when it
681
01:26:13.650 --> 01:26:20.170
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Start the lighting, or end the lighting, or all
of those things that haven't really been discussed in terms of the arc of
the time.
682
01:26:21.610 --> 01:26:24.030
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, those are three
questions. Thank you so much.
683
01:26:25.120 --> 01:26:28.420
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Great. Commissioner Barnard? Yeah,
okay, thank you so much.
684
01:26:28.680 --> 01:26:45.219
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I'm going to not give the
comments, which are actually very positive, but the questions are, you
talked about the material, the… did you call it exterior steel? My
question is, I mean, it looked like the color of wood or rust, is that
what it is?
685
01:26:45.420 --> 01:26:51.050
Ene Osteraas-Constable: It is literally… what happens is, it's amazing
stuff. What happens is, it develops a skin.
686
01:26:51.290 --> 01:27:04.590
Ene Osteraas-Constable: that seals itself. So it is rust, and you'd think
rust is, like, the worst possible thing you could ever imagine on steel.
Like, that's the opposite of what you'd ever want to see on steel, but
what it does is it creates its own seal, like, skin.
687
01:27:04.980 --> 01:27:20.109
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Which is essentially like a patina. So we do a
lot of bronze, and we'll do patina on a bronze. This is weathered steel,
which is also why, you know, many artists have used it in the past, is it
creates its own,
688
01:27:20.780 --> 01:27:35.440
Ene Osteraas-Constable: skin, and it seals, it becomes sealed. And so one
of the things we'll be doing is, with Matthew, is, he makes the sculpture
and lets it sit, so that it cures, essentially, and creates its skin
before it's delivered.
689
01:27:35.580 --> 01:27:44.350
Ene Osteraas-Constable: That's partly why we want to keep… we get that
done first, and he literally lets it sit out and develop its own skin.
But it's essentially a natural patina.
690
01:27:45.320 --> 01:27:46.240
Quinlan Conference Room: Okay. That's what it is.
691
01:27:46.610 --> 01:27:59.670
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Like Richard Serra's Tilted Arc, that sculpture,
all of Richard Serra's work is the same medium, and there's one at Denver
at the Art Museum, and it's just beautiful, and you're just like, wow,
look at that. I mean, so it is a…
692
01:27:59.670 --> 01:28:08.050
Ene Osteraas-Constable: It is… it is out there, and it… that's exactly… I
mean, I'm not making it up, it's actually what the medium does. It just
sounds kind of wacky, but it's true.
693
01:28:09.240 --> 01:28:13.860
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. So my second question is,
694
01:28:14.000 --> 01:28:19.289
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Maybe it was there. What are the
dimensions of the pedals?
695
01:28:19.970 --> 01:28:21.810
Ene Osteraas-Constable: It's in the drawing, it's…
696
01:28:22.050 --> 01:28:23.140
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Give me back.
697
01:28:23.390 --> 01:28:29.920
Ene Osteraas-Constable: It's about, like, 2… is it… I'm so sorry, I don't
have it in front of me right now. Do you have…
698
01:28:30.270 --> 01:28:31.580
Ene Osteraas-Constable: But that's fine.
699
01:28:31.850 --> 01:28:33.460
Ene Osteraas-Constable: speed, I think…
700
01:28:33.710 --> 01:28:41.789
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Somewhere in there. Let's see if we can go… I
usually rely on my drawings for numbers, I'm not… yeah, so if we go back,
it should be look called out there.
701
01:28:42.760 --> 01:28:44.599
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Let's see, is it in there?
702
01:28:45.690 --> 01:28:47.700
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Let's say the width, total width is
about.
703
01:28:47.700 --> 01:28:51.099
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Oh, there it is! Oh, 2 foot… 2 foot 11 diameter.
704
01:28:51.100 --> 01:29:03.149
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, so my question is, in terms of
the wind, like, yesterday was pretty gusty winds, and I did check it was
30 miles an hour.
705
01:29:03.410 --> 01:29:08.870
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So… And you have so much experience
in sculptures.
706
01:29:09.300 --> 01:29:10.330
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, you know…
707
01:29:10.550 --> 01:29:21.400
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): large public art pieces, I'm sure
you have taken care. So my question was on how it's safe, all the small
parts as well.
708
01:29:21.820 --> 01:29:26.389
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Can you go to the next picture of the assembly,
for example?
709
01:29:26.680 --> 01:29:31.959
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And further down, next. Okay, so that assembly
structure right there.
710
01:29:31.960 --> 01:29:47.129
Ene Osteraas-Constable: is going to be… we'll be consulting with our
engineers on that. If something needs to change, if he says, hey, you
need a thicker piece here, or you need a wider piece here, you can see
that the… I mean, what this is… what we're doing right now is the design
approval phase.
711
01:29:47.170 --> 01:29:48.129
Ene Osteraas-Constable: After that.
712
01:29:48.200 --> 01:29:57.540
Ene Osteraas-Constable: comes the technical specification, where we're
really digging into the details on this. And that's where we'd be talking
to our engineer, and he would tell us, oh, okay.
713
01:29:57.590 --> 01:30:14.300
Ene Osteraas-Constable: you need to bulk this up, or you need to… and it
wouldn't… the nice thing about this design is it won't affect the overall
aesthetic, because it's designed specifically to have something
relatively hefty there already. The question is really just in the
details, and so we'll be working that out with him.
714
01:30:14.310 --> 01:30:33.830
Ene Osteraas-Constable: That's pretty much the standard procedure for all
our pieces. But you're right, it's very important. You think about things
like wind load, and, you know, there's a reason why we're not making a
whole canopy. I mean, you can see there's actually spaces… the pedals
themselves allow for wind to move through it more easily. So these are
all things we've thought about.
715
01:30:33.890 --> 01:30:39.480
Ene Osteraas-Constable: From the outset, but the engineers are the ones
who are going to weigh in on the final, final, details.
716
01:30:39.810 --> 01:30:41.609
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, thank you very much.
717
01:30:42.230 --> 01:30:49.139
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Yeah, no problem. Good question, very good
question, and it's definitely something, you know, that always is utmost…
718
01:30:49.270 --> 01:31:04.499
Ene Osteraas-Constable: topmost in our minds. We're doing a sculpture
right now in Tracy, and Tracy has extremely heavy winds, way more than
any of us have, and I'm gonna definitely be calling that out with our
engineer, because it's just, like, they have just some kind of effect
719
01:31:04.680 --> 01:31:15.690
Ene Osteraas-Constable: a wind effect. So it's very site-specific to the
point of even the town you're in. We're going to be looking at data
related to your location and the maximum that has happened, so…
720
01:31:18.610 --> 01:31:22.799
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. And Commissioner Chen, do
you have any questions?
721
01:31:34.820 --> 01:31:37.169
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Looks like we're having technical
issues with her.
722
01:31:37.175 --> 01:31:38.974
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I can just…
723
01:31:38.980 --> 01:31:39.809
14084215920: Bear with me.
724
01:31:40.430 --> 01:31:41.730
Quinlan Conference Room: Yes, we can hear you.
725
01:31:42.540 --> 01:31:44.569
14084215920: Yeah, go, great. Yeah.
726
01:31:45.100 --> 01:31:49.469
14084215920: For this project, I can't say anything. I can't see the
presentation.
727
01:31:49.600 --> 01:31:56.280
14084215920: Don't I come… opinion, just follow majority. What you guys
says, I followed it.
728
01:31:57.480 --> 01:32:00.809
14084215920: I can't see the presentation without any comments, too.
729
01:32:01.590 --> 01:32:03.839
14084215920: Okay. Okay. That's it, yeah.
730
01:32:05.170 --> 01:32:07.090
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, thank you, Commissioner Child.
731
01:32:07.320 --> 01:32:18.870
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah. So, for me, I just wanted to
say, I mean, thank you again so much to the project team, and for the
artists specifically, for being here and presenting this work.
732
01:32:18.870 --> 01:32:29.570
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think it's… it's fantastic. A
couple clarifying questions. Landscaping. How are the plants selected?
Are any of them California natives?
733
01:32:31.920 --> 01:32:35.559
Ene Osteraas-Constable: That's not my purview, but I would…
734
01:32:35.650 --> 01:32:54.769
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Is there anybody on the team who's here who could
speak to that? I'm assuming that there are natives, for sure. Typically,
the most low-maintenance plants are the ones that are native, so
landscape architects will often use those, and I'm… if I could look at
the planting plan, I can tell you, actually, you know, if you want to go
back.
735
01:32:55.070 --> 01:32:55.610
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Nice.
736
01:32:55.615 --> 01:33:00.834
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): It is part of the plan, and they're
called out. So that might, if you know plans, it might answer your
question.
737
01:33:00.835 --> 01:33:09.245
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't think they were California
native, so I would encourage you to work with your landscape designer,
to…
738
01:33:10.500 --> 01:33:14.249
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Doesn't… doesn't Pensterman in there? I think he
has a salvia?
739
01:33:14.650 --> 01:33:18.660
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Is that a salvia at the bottom? Okay, so salvia
at the bottom right, that's a native.
740
01:33:18.990 --> 01:33:21.869
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And I believe the salvia… is there another
salvia?
741
01:33:21.870 --> 01:33:22.490
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right.
742
01:33:22.840 --> 01:33:27.840
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And the deities vegetar is native, So those two
are native.
743
01:33:28.070 --> 01:33:44.449
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And the salvia on the left is native, so there's
3 natives, and I don't know about the bulbine at all, I don't know
anything about that one or these others, so I can't really speak to the
others, but those 3 at least, are native, and I would agree with you.
Usually the cystis, it can depend, but anyway.
744
01:33:44.590 --> 01:33:50.549
Ene Osteraas-Constable: I would agree with you that to lean in on that is
a good point, but my… at least 3 of them are.
745
01:33:51.430 --> 01:33:52.730
Quinlan Conference Room: That's fantastic, thank you.
746
01:33:53.030 --> 01:33:55.699
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Sorry I didn't even think to look, but yeah, I…
747
01:33:55.860 --> 01:34:13.969
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Yeah, that is fantastic. I know, I totally agree
with you. And it's great for the pollinators, really… what's cool is you
get all the butterflies and bees. I have salvias in my garden, and it is
year-round food for them, and it's really amazing to just see the
butterflies come. So, I would anticipate you'll have butterflies there.
748
01:34:14.680 --> 01:34:20.009
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's perfect. It really, plays into
the blossom theme of the Arch Feast.
749
01:34:20.240 --> 01:34:22.989
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Yes, it does. It really does. Yeah.
750
01:34:22.990 --> 01:34:27.820
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): My last question is, what was your
favorite part of working on this project?
751
01:34:28.690 --> 01:34:29.980
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Oh, boy.
752
01:34:31.170 --> 01:34:33.070
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Didn't expect that,
753
01:34:34.520 --> 01:34:43.810
Ene Osteraas-Constable: No, that's a really good question! I mean, I love
the whole thing, that's why I'm doing what… why we do what we do,
honestly, to tell you the truth. All the phases are exciting.
754
01:34:43.980 --> 01:34:55.129
Ene Osteraas-Constable: this committee meeting, right now, to date, is
pretty impressive, because working with the developers has been amazing,
Chandra's been incredible, you guys… to me, it's a lot about the
collaboration.
755
01:34:55.130 --> 01:35:07.880
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Separate from the artistic element. I love the
design, I love the plantings, but on top of that, this is the cherry on
top, working with a team like you guys, and I'm telling you, we do it
often, and so working with a team like this.
756
01:35:08.050 --> 01:35:18.319
Ene Osteraas-Constable: I have to say, it's a real treat. It really is.
So, the developers, Chandra, and you guys, that has been the best
surprise for me, because it can go both ways.
757
01:35:18.480 --> 01:35:35.130
Ene Osteraas-Constable: You know, it really can, and this has just been a
really wonderful… I'm very impressed by… we know the dedication it takes
to be on a committee like this, and you guys are asking such good
questions and really are present, so for me, that's the most optimistic
piece of the… of why we're in public art. We do public art because of
community.
758
01:35:35.150 --> 01:35:42.410
Ene Osteraas-Constable: And this is community, so… so I… I have to say
that, you know, although I love the design, I'm thrilled about that, but
that… this is the part that…
759
01:35:42.440 --> 01:35:44.109
Ene Osteraas-Constable: It's been really wonderful.
760
01:35:45.150 --> 01:35:53.909
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Alright, thank you so much. Okay,
that concludes our questions section. Now I'd like to open it for public
comment. Do we have any speakers? We have no speakers.
761
01:35:53.910 --> 01:35:55.230
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
762
01:35:55.235 --> 01:36:03.834
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Moving right along to discussion,
bringing it back to the Commission, do we have any comments? What do we
all think?
763
01:36:04.685 --> 01:36:10.385
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Go ahead. No, you go. No, no, you
go. It happened the last time, too.
764
01:36:10.390 --> 01:36:21.229
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, thank you, thank you for the
opportunity. Yeah, I really like the theme. The moment I read it with the
title before the picture, of course, I love flowers, the cherry…
765
01:36:21.230 --> 01:36:33.219
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): You got it so right on the nail, for
Cupertino. We also have a Cherry Blossom Festival. We did it two weeks
ago, and we have that team.
766
01:36:33.380 --> 01:36:49.780
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, and I love it. Personally, I
love it. It's my mother's favorite flower. Okay, but that's… it's, you
know, it's… I thought some of the comments that Commissioner Ponder had,
I did give it thought. I looked at it today, earlier in the afternoon.
767
01:36:49.780 --> 01:37:04.720
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): But I understood it was… it was that
artist's representation of the… also because it's so tall, right? It's
taller than a, a natural, blossom tree, right?
768
01:37:04.720 --> 01:37:22.799
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I even looked up pictures on
Google for different kinds of blossom trees, but so it is… it is an
artist impression. It's through your eyes. I think, can be seen from far.
Hopefully, the townhome owners will say, it's the community where you see
the…
769
01:37:22.810 --> 01:37:35.989
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): possum tree or something like that,
you know, kind of park. So, I thought it was really beautiful, and it's,
you come with a lot of experience, you have the whole list, that gives us
a lot of confidence.
770
01:37:36.010 --> 01:37:49.600
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): on, on the process and on the
construction, so I've been… I really like it. I really do. So, thank you
for putting in all the different thought process, dimension, and your
talent.
771
01:37:50.150 --> 01:37:50.980
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Thank you.
772
01:37:53.080 --> 01:37:55.850
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, quick few comments. So, whether
it's to you.
773
01:37:56.110 --> 01:38:07.070
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): If you go to Main Street, that
restaurant complex in Fuzettino, I believe, you know, that structure
there which assimilates the creek.
774
01:38:07.570 --> 01:38:17.950
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): That, I believe, is where it's deep.
Yes, it's like a patina, okay? It's like a thin layer of rust, it looks
beautiful.
775
01:38:17.955 --> 01:38:19.495
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): John-ish? Yes, exactly.
776
01:38:19.495 --> 01:38:21.075
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, yes, yes. Exactly.
777
01:38:21.185 --> 01:38:21.994
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): All right, so…
778
01:38:22.000 --> 01:38:26.909
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, Mike, break comments, and for
discussion, actually not.
779
01:38:27.120 --> 01:38:29.160
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, number one, I'll repeat.
780
01:38:29.350 --> 01:38:31.490
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): We see some color.
781
01:38:32.345 --> 01:38:42.214
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because we've seen quite a few
steel, which are fantastic, too. And the fact that this complements, you
know, some of the steel, especially on the same street.
782
01:38:42.575 --> 01:38:44.695
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Number two, I love the plaque.
783
01:38:45.415 --> 01:38:48.335
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Number one, the fact that you have a
plaque.
784
01:38:48.335 --> 01:38:52.095
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, that's a bomb. Okay.
785
01:38:52.095 --> 01:38:57.904
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Further, it's got the artist
attribution. Third is, it's got a little description. So, kudos on that.
786
01:38:58.055 --> 01:39:04.575
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And lastly, Anna, you handled the
questions very well, but I love the passion by which you spoke about it.
787
01:39:05.055 --> 01:39:11.144
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): If I had some consent, I would say,
I have confidence, she's gonna take care of it. So…
788
01:39:11.960 --> 01:39:12.329
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's my advice.
789
01:39:13.970 --> 01:39:17.169
Ene Osteraas-Constable: It's, it's genuine. It's… it really is.
790
01:39:17.170 --> 01:39:17.809
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): See that?
791
01:39:20.170 --> 01:39:23.830
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, if I may just jump in, I think
this is… I mean…
792
01:39:24.380 --> 01:39:45.360
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): this should be, like, the gold
standard, I think, in terms of what we're looking for from public art
applications. I mean, not only was art and design stellar, I mean,
obviously, design is subjective, but I thought it was stellar. But all of
the…
793
01:39:45.360 --> 01:39:49.600
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): All of the background work that was
done, it was very clear.
794
01:39:49.600 --> 01:40:00.630
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): That the entire process was very
thought out, all the way from the artist selection, all the way through
the design, to the details of construction.
795
01:40:00.630 --> 01:40:19.399
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I think the fact that you
included that in your presentation, as mentioned, gave us a lot of
confidence, in your work and in the execution of this eventual project.
So, yeah, I mean, I don't really have that much more to say other than
great job.
796
01:40:19.930 --> 01:40:20.620
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Thanks.
797
01:40:20.960 --> 01:40:21.510
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Seth?
798
01:40:21.780 --> 01:40:45.349
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): So what I really loved was that UK
Equality made a choice, because mostly we've seen they select somebody
and give a project, but now you had a variety of people apply to it, you
reviewed it, you selected three, then you made a final choice. That shows
that you have given an opportunity to so many people. That was really
first, you know, commendation. And secondly, you have a… you showed us
the difference of day and night.
799
01:40:45.400 --> 01:40:57.429
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): That was so beautiful. I think that
that makes so much sense that, you know, how it looks in the daytime, how
it looks in the nighttime, you have colors there, you have, like, shown
the light at nighttime, you have flexibility. So these two points are
very similar.
800
01:40:57.820 --> 01:40:59.220
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Okay, thank you.
801
01:41:01.420 --> 01:41:02.140
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Thanks.
802
01:41:05.230 --> 01:41:08.709
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'd like to make a motion that this
submission approves.
803
01:41:08.980 --> 01:41:11.250
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): The public art applications?
804
01:41:11.400 --> 01:41:12.890
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): by Summerhill.
805
01:41:13.790 --> 01:41:17.119
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): For the Valencia Town Homes
location. I can second it.
806
01:41:17.790 --> 01:41:18.760
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, beautiful.
807
01:41:19.230 --> 01:41:21.310
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Thank you. Thanks, you guys.
808
01:41:21.450 --> 01:41:23.390
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Appreciate it. Really do.
809
01:41:25.795 --> 01:41:29.535
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, we still need to vote, we still
need to vote.
810
01:41:29.535 --> 01:41:31.925
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): You need material.
811
01:41:31.930 --> 01:41:33.000
Ene Osteraas-Constable: I appreciate it!
812
01:41:33.450 --> 01:41:36.640
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Just start building.
813
01:41:37.270 --> 01:41:38.730
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And Commissioner Chen?
814
01:41:43.110 --> 01:41:44.090
14084215920: Commissioner Chen?
815
01:41:46.160 --> 01:41:47.530
14084215920: Yes, I'm here.
816
01:41:49.730 --> 01:41:52.139
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, how would you like to vote on
the… Yeah.
817
01:41:52.840 --> 01:41:55.589
14084215920: I just follow the majority.
818
01:41:56.750 --> 01:42:00.080
14084215920: I can't see the presentation, not any comments.
819
01:42:05.100 --> 01:42:10.179
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Can we, through the chair, if we
can repeat the motion for Commissioner Chen? Well, she says.
820
01:42:10.185 --> 01:42:15.485
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): to follow the majority, but given
that we haven't come back to the last…
821
01:42:15.715 --> 01:42:17.095
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): You can do that.
822
01:42:17.680 --> 01:42:25.639
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner Aurora? Aye.
Commissioner Panda? Yes. Vice Chair Lambeau? Yes. Chair Wang? Aye.
Commissioner Chen?
823
01:42:26.860 --> 01:42:27.880
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes.
824
01:42:28.570 --> 01:42:30.810
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Alright, the motion carries
unanimously.
825
01:42:32.440 --> 01:42:33.110
Quinlan Conference Room: Love it.
826
01:42:34.080 --> 01:42:34.540
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Ain't…
827
01:42:35.210 --> 01:42:36.729
14084215920: Loudly, yes, yeah.
828
01:42:36.730 --> 01:42:37.300
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I…
829
01:42:37.810 --> 01:42:43.749
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): I appreciate this commission. I
think you're the gold standard for commissions, oh my god.
830
01:42:44.840 --> 01:42:46.130
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Thank you, everybody.
831
01:42:46.510 --> 01:42:48.020
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Thanks again.
832
01:42:48.700 --> 01:42:50.690
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): About 200 feet from the side.
833
01:42:50.695 --> 01:42:51.414
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): I mean, harsh.
834
01:42:51.420 --> 01:42:53.700
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's why I missed it.
835
01:42:53.930 --> 01:42:54.899
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sorry, I just…
836
01:42:54.900 --> 01:42:56.710
Ene Osteraas-Constable: Say goodbye. Thank you.
837
01:42:57.370 --> 01:43:00.210
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): They do a high-end Japanese grocery
store, I'll bring up. Yeah, too.
838
01:43:00.215 --> 01:43:03.855
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Poshmark. Oh, yeah.
839
01:43:03.860 --> 01:43:05.329
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh my gosh.
840
01:43:05.335 --> 01:43:06.115
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's proud to you today.
841
01:43:06.115 --> 01:43:11.335
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, I'm glad something's coming in
here. Oh, that's a nice little synergy. Yeah, that's great.
842
01:43:11.335 --> 01:43:13.595
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): at the Cherry Blossom Festival.
Yes.
843
01:43:13.595 --> 01:43:14.334
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): We gotta build it.
844
01:43:14.340 --> 01:43:17.880
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Then get rid of that. Right.
845
01:43:19.090 --> 01:43:21.159
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, sir. Thank you.
846
01:43:21.290 --> 01:43:25.370
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you very much. Thank you.
847
01:43:25.810 --> 01:43:26.700
Quinlan Conference Room: Nice meter.
848
01:43:26.700 --> 01:43:30.519
Speaker 19 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. My pleasure.
849
01:43:31.100 --> 01:43:34.370
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you very much. Thank you so
much, Mary. Thank you, sir.
850
01:43:36.780 --> 01:43:37.910
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, sir.
851
01:43:39.690 --> 01:43:42.979
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): May I say something? Please. Yeah.
852
01:43:42.980 --> 01:43:50.409
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): thank the staff, and actually our
presenters, for sharing all the material in advance. Yes.
853
01:43:50.710 --> 01:44:04.660
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think that's… at least I felt I
could read everything, all the measurements were given there on the
safety, height, all the questions, and I could read it before coming, so
I want to thank you for having
854
01:44:04.750 --> 01:44:14.300
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): all the material available, because
that helped us have a really smooth and efficient discussion. Thank you
for that. And thank you for.
855
01:44:14.300 --> 01:44:16.753
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): patience, like…
856
01:44:17.980 --> 01:44:41.670
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And actually, I mean, when I said
gold standard, I meant it, I think, in addition to what I mentioned, just
then, I think a couple other points that I thought this application hit,
well… location of the art piece. Right? Like, we've seen art pieces that
are a little bit more hidden, not necessarily street visible, because
they were very intentional.
857
01:44:41.770 --> 01:44:48.840
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): On placing it where it is very
visible, so that was great. Like, we didn't even have to…
858
01:44:49.070 --> 01:45:08.489
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): challenged them, we didn't even have
to tell them that this was a preference. They… the proposal that they
gave already met our preference. And then also, the timing at which this,
review was brought to our commission. The fact that it was brought to us
not
859
01:45:08.630 --> 01:45:23.000
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): right when they needed approval, but
in advance. So, yeah, I guess… I think this should be an example that we
would want future applications to follow.
860
01:45:23.200 --> 01:45:29.560
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, I mean, obviously, There's, a
limit to…
861
01:45:30.290 --> 01:45:48.920
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): how proactive and how diligent the
developer is, but if there are ever any questions when you're working
with a new developer, I mean, I would say point them towards this
project. I think this is a good example for a job well done.
862
01:45:49.120 --> 01:45:49.930
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Bye.
863
01:45:51.450 --> 01:45:54.270
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Trying to figure out, you know,
part of my staff report.
864
01:45:54.390 --> 01:46:03.389
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): the next item was going to talk
about with timing and whatnot, but, you know, for moving on to staff
commission reports, I can jump into that. Sure.
865
01:46:03.540 --> 01:46:06.060
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I have one more comment to follow up
on yours.
866
01:46:06.100 --> 01:46:09.720
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, to me, the gold standard, again.
867
01:46:09.720 --> 01:46:27.840
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Part is a personal preference,
right? The gold standard is the one on Mary Allen. I forget what it's
called. The team is butterflies, but it's called… The butterflies. Okay,
Butterflies, right. Emergence? This emergence. Emergence, it was called
Butterfly in the spreadsheet, but it's Emergence. I actually validated.
868
01:46:28.100 --> 01:46:29.309
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): This one.
869
01:46:29.420 --> 01:46:36.960
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): is getting right up there. And the
reason I wanted to make this comment, John, is… here's a fifth.
870
01:46:37.690 --> 01:46:41.430
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Developers ask for We like this!
871
01:46:41.580 --> 01:46:47.199
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, commission and the city
think is a good gold standard.
872
01:46:47.350 --> 01:46:49.709
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, those are coupled, there's
more.
873
01:46:49.960 --> 01:46:57.139
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right, so, any, if you need help,
hey, look at these. So, jumping into staff.
874
01:46:57.145 --> 01:47:06.095
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, go ahead. So we can… under
this, I would say everything you said is what we've been trying to do
last year, is,
875
01:47:06.425 --> 01:47:17.774
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): The wonderful thing about this
being on YouTube, wonderful thing about having a website that chronicles
all this stuff, is that we can do exactly that, point to this. Point to
this. We have used emergence.
876
01:47:17.855 --> 01:47:26.495
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): recently as it will stand. You
know, this is not just from the Commission, but also the council members.
Very like, this is what we expect.
877
01:47:26.605 --> 01:47:35.704
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so, as an example, we met this
morning with the developers for the site next to Whole Foods, which is
across the street from this one.
878
01:47:36.035 --> 01:47:40.005
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): 122 units, the Voyager coffee
location?
879
01:47:40.010 --> 01:47:42.180
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Correct, correct, and a couple
things.
880
01:47:42.180 --> 01:47:43.230
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Excited.
881
01:47:43.350 --> 01:47:46.819
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): We said… Exactly. We said, watch
tonight.
882
01:47:46.825 --> 01:47:48.784
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): You're probably listening right
now.
883
01:47:48.785 --> 01:48:08.165
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): But, you know, but look at the Mary
Avenue villas. Yes. Oh, I'm sorry, Mary, not the Mary Avenue. Emergence,
Taylor Morrison have proposed. You know, we go through that, you know,
that presentation as well. And more and more, we are, as staff-directed.
884
01:48:08.165 --> 01:48:09.105
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): to Satan.
885
01:48:09.105 --> 01:48:21.504
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): come in early process. And really,
that's… and it takes the stress off the commission to feel obligated to
approve something. Yeah. As well as it takes stress off us to come up
with, like, ways to say.
886
01:48:21.525 --> 01:48:27.235
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, you know, how do we allow
them to open up certain parts of the project without
887
01:48:28.015 --> 01:48:42.075
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Throwing that gray area. Because we
ran into that at Taylor Morrison. It was because they hadn't even gone
through the process until village were being built, and it was kind of
like, it was rush, rush, rush. Luckily, it was a good product, so there
wasn't much of a…
888
01:48:42.755 --> 01:48:56.205
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): back and forth with the Commission.
You know, what happened with Bianchi Way is a little, you know, that's
touch and go. But, but, you know, I 100%… we're trying staff to build
that culture of getting things, in ahead of time.
889
01:48:56.325 --> 01:49:05.914
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, Chair, do you want me to go
through… I have a brief presentation on some of the staff, reports, or do
you want to start with your report? No.
890
01:49:05.915 --> 01:49:06.645
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Why don't we start with you?
891
01:49:06.650 --> 01:49:11.519
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): That'd be great. Yeah, just really
quick, the first thing…
892
01:49:11.860 --> 01:49:20.969
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): there's two things. The first thing
is going through, I know, points through…
893
01:49:22.640 --> 01:49:24.540
Quinlan Conference Room: There we go. It's not tabs.
894
01:49:26.340 --> 01:49:41.279
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Council Work Drug, again, item. We
talked about it a long time ago. We went to the study session in October
of 2025. There we go. And I want to kind of go over what the Council
895
01:49:41.910 --> 01:49:55.170
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): had requested staff to come back
with. We have a 10 mil day in September, maybe into October, but these
were some of the comments the council had. You know, another Council
study session, you know, go back.
896
01:49:55.360 --> 01:50:11.969
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Separate our fund, does it exist,
how it's managed? We don't have one. So, that's… and a lot of these
points have already been done. Clarify our culture needs to be involved
early in the development review process throughout the projects. I think
we kind of touched on that right now.
897
01:50:11.970 --> 01:50:18.639
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think it's creating a culture
amongst… amongst my division to… to… like…
898
01:50:19.550 --> 01:50:31.690
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): to developers now, and it's easy
for the large developers. Summerhill, this is… you know, they have the
team to do it, they have the money to do it, and they have the experience
to do it. You know, we have a lot of large developers that have that.
899
01:50:31.700 --> 01:50:44.569
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): that cachet and knowledge do it.
And I think it's… I think a lot of the struggles that we have as planning
staff is for the smaller developers, to be on a few ways that folks
understand, you know, what it means.
900
01:50:44.960 --> 01:51:03.360
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think it's up to our division to
do a better job in promoting that, and it helps a lot that we have great
art pieces, such as Emergence. Now, the blossom. You know, these are
things that we can point to, say, this is the gold standard, this is the
expectation we have as a city. So, I think that's… that helps us
901
01:51:03.750 --> 01:51:09.379
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): It saves a lot of work on the
broadcasting game, so they kind of have an idea. You know, even having
902
01:51:09.690 --> 01:51:11.789
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): A third-party consultant.
903
01:51:12.020 --> 01:51:14.650
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): to kind of… What kind of…
904
01:51:14.930 --> 01:51:19.639
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): manage their process for them, you
know.
905
01:51:20.470 --> 01:51:37.430
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): kind of go through the art and
culture duties, Commission's duties under the Municipal Code, how these
duties have been met, or could be further addressed. You know, I'm
thinking about coming back, you know, the chair, you and I can talk, you
know, coming back in July, and kind of, like, going through these points
more,
906
01:51:38.490 --> 01:51:58.099
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): at a finite level. You know, we do
have a bigger item in July coming, which is the Arts Awards theme
selection. So those could be two items right there, and, you know, kind
of summarize this, but kind of get these ideas out to the Commission to
think about, moving forward.
907
01:51:58.630 --> 01:52:03.059
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): What are some better ways to
promote our installation and showcase existing pieces?
908
01:52:04.840 --> 01:52:21.759
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): again, and thank you to the chair,
vice chair, your subcommittee. You know, I've already started with IT, we
already have a webpage started, just a matter of just plugging stuff in,
and, you know, hopefully by July, we'll have everything done, you know, a
draft can be shown. The photo map for residents, I'm…
909
01:52:21.760 --> 01:52:29.639
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'll figure that one out. You know,
it could be something simple as having a PDF on the webpage, and you just
click on it, and someone can print it out.
910
01:52:29.640 --> 01:52:32.819
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): But that's something we can, we can
discuss in July as well.
911
01:52:32.820 --> 01:52:42.500
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then the last point is, the
Enzo College Art Installation is part of the city's broader public
argument authority, which I think you've done, Vice Chair.
912
01:52:42.505 --> 01:52:49.115
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I did not do an inventory of the
Answer College card pieces, but…
913
01:52:49.495 --> 01:53:01.564
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): the curator of the museum we're
going to go to sent me a PDF, which already exists, of the Lianza College
Outdoor Art Pieces.
914
01:53:01.745 --> 01:53:12.894
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I'm wondering if that can be…
maybe one can have a link to that from the art map. Okay, so let me… let
me pull that up.
915
01:53:15.645 --> 01:53:22.375
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, secondly, we are going to… on
the 30th, we have a trip planned to at least the museum.
916
01:53:22.495 --> 01:53:38.394
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): the art museum on Indiana College.
John, just on the pre… on the second last bullet item, you know, the art,
update the city's art tour and website, blah blah blah, like, plus
foldable map, one of the thoughts was, you know, art walks.
917
01:53:38.425 --> 01:53:42.664
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Or, you know, here's an art walk on
a map, so…
918
01:53:42.745 --> 01:53:46.324
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): If we discuss this next time, maybe
we can add that item.
919
01:53:46.525 --> 01:53:51.794
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Actually, you're proposing that we
discuss this as a study session next? Well, sorry.
920
01:53:51.800 --> 01:53:57.639
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): this… This is a brief update from
John. Okay. But I think this…
921
01:53:57.770 --> 01:54:05.290
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): warrants a longer discussion that we
should agendize at a future meeting.
922
01:54:05.295 --> 01:54:06.094
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I think in July.
923
01:54:06.100 --> 01:54:07.280
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I can be heard.
924
01:54:08.030 --> 01:54:09.560
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): 8 is a different member, July, what?
925
01:54:09.565 --> 01:54:14.025
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): I might have marked. I must have the
calendar, but I don't remember.
926
01:54:14.025 --> 01:54:14.975
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'll look it up right now.
927
01:54:14.980 --> 01:54:22.250
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): John, could you send this out,
though? Yeah, it'll be linked on the agenda, right? Okay. Yeah, that's
right, that's a good point.
928
01:54:22.250 --> 01:54:23.899
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): I hope so. Let's due tomorrow.
929
01:54:24.620 --> 01:54:25.160
Speaker 19 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you.
930
01:54:28.500 --> 01:54:31.910
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Any questions for John at this
point?
931
01:54:33.030 --> 01:54:35.199
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): No? Okay. Okay, good.
932
01:54:35.205 --> 01:54:49.775
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I guess the only other item that
I have is, finalizing May 30th. Yeah. Logistically, times, and I can work
with Lindsey and City Clerk's office to get the, special meeting turned
out.
933
01:54:51.030 --> 01:55:01.519
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, 11 a.m. is what the curator
said. She's good with that. I think I sent you the location, the address.
934
01:55:01.650 --> 01:55:06.910
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, and just for FYI for everyone,
you know, it's basically…
935
01:55:07.500 --> 01:55:15.639
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): on Skivens Creek and Stelling
Intersection, the first building. It's a visual arts building. But it'll
be on that.
936
01:55:15.645 --> 01:55:23.165
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Performing Arts Center in Nevada.
That's the one. Oh, okay. That is… I live there.
937
01:55:23.165 --> 01:55:28.385
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you so much, Griffin, for
organizing this. I know it's been.
938
01:55:28.385 --> 01:55:37.864
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, you know, away from his family
and so on, so I really appreciate that.
939
01:55:39.155 --> 01:55:43.344
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, Pat, thank you.
940
01:55:44.100 --> 01:55:59.569
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sorry, sorry, one more question. You
mentioned the website, you're targeting July. Yeah, so what, yeah, can
you give us a little bit more, flavor onto what the conversation of
status is?
941
01:55:59.820 --> 01:56:03.939
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sure, so the web… it would be a
subset of, probably.
942
01:56:03.940 --> 01:56:17.549
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think it's of the Arts and
Culture Commission's webpage, where it's like a child… we call it a child
page, right? Yeah. So then what I could do, I think, with the
subcommittee, I believe one of the three of us can meet and go over it
prior to the July meeting.
943
01:56:17.650 --> 01:56:35.660
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, showing kind of what…
what's been done so far, and then we have, like, a little PDF link to the
Deanza College. I think that's fair, I think that's great. Just creates
separation between the two, jurisdictions without, you know, but at least
having this.
944
01:56:36.030 --> 01:56:42.930
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): a list that's published. I still
have to get with IT to update the actual,
945
01:56:43.270 --> 01:56:49.189
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Web mapping, the, art walk, or the
artwork. So,
946
01:56:50.780 --> 01:56:54.609
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Maybe that can be done. At least
have some momentum.
947
01:56:54.860 --> 01:56:56.519
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Roadmap to that.
948
01:56:57.140 --> 01:57:04.780
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, I think that's great. Let's
target, maybe subcommittee meeting before July, and, I mean, I think…
949
01:57:04.920 --> 01:57:11.419
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): we can be… or we can find a time
whenever, just let us know when IT's ready to discuss.
950
01:57:12.790 --> 01:57:13.580
Quinlan Conference Room: That's cute.
951
01:57:14.960 --> 01:57:19.760
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Are there any other missionary
reports?
952
01:57:25.560 --> 01:57:37.510
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Not from me. Any meetings that
people, or events that people have attended? So, you attended the last
Mayor's meeting, but that was before our March meeting, right?
953
01:57:37.515 --> 01:57:38.594
Speaker 19 (Quinlan Conference Room): Reporting on that.
954
01:57:38.595 --> 01:57:39.005
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So.
955
01:57:39.185 --> 01:57:39.650
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh.
956
01:57:40.120 --> 01:57:46.519
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): The next one is on this Wednesday.
Oh, that's how, it's just… I'll be attending the one on Wednesday. Yeah,
I see. Yeah, yeah.
957
01:57:46.525 --> 01:57:49.485
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because that's also every two
months, but it's just, like, maybe just…
958
01:57:49.485 --> 01:57:51.355
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is, like, what are we talking.
959
01:57:51.360 --> 01:57:54.770
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, that's fine. Next time, yeah.
960
01:57:54.870 --> 01:58:12.099
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, so just FYI to everyone, our
next Mayor's Commissioner meeting is going to be this Wednesday. My plan
to attend, it's at 5pm, and I'll be giving a readout on what our
commission has been working on, and also listening to the other
Commission chairs. Yeah, so obviously 3 people.
961
01:58:12.100 --> 01:58:14.980
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Three meetings today. Three
decisions made. Gotcha.
962
01:58:14.985 --> 01:58:16.085
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah.
963
01:58:17.635 --> 01:58:18.834
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Any, any other.
964
01:58:18.835 --> 01:58:21.254
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): other reports of the…
965
01:58:21.260 --> 01:58:27.680
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): a report, but, comment on this
commission. Okay.
966
01:58:29.450 --> 01:58:32.890
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I really appreciate the fact that
everybody's so engaged.
967
01:58:33.420 --> 01:58:34.360
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Band.
968
01:58:34.540 --> 01:58:36.310
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): All of you are tough questions.
969
01:58:36.470 --> 01:58:40.789
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, when you were asking a
question as… I'm a demonstration.
970
01:58:40.790 --> 01:58:41.359
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's right, Don.
971
01:58:41.365 --> 01:58:42.865
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, no.
972
01:58:42.865 --> 01:58:43.594
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): In the form of.
973
01:58:43.600 --> 01:58:45.080
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, yeah, yeah, they must be
having.
974
01:58:45.085 --> 01:58:47.345
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm so mean, like…
975
01:58:47.345 --> 01:58:48.104
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conference Room): Did I say this?
976
01:58:48.105 --> 01:58:50.685
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, I thought they must be… Let's
put that in the…
977
01:58:50.685 --> 01:58:51.105
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): dominance.
978
01:58:51.105 --> 01:58:56.124
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Anyway, I was getting there. I think
this commission is very engaged.
979
01:58:56.225 --> 01:58:57.645
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Very passionate.
980
01:58:58.065 --> 01:59:01.455
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Second, the presentation of, AMA.
981
01:59:01.555 --> 01:59:16.344
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): was very professional. Yes. And now
we have started seeing the spread, right? I'm not saying the previous one
was not great. I think in its own way it was excellent, too. But the
quality, if we expect higher quality.
982
01:59:16.525 --> 01:59:18.525
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): We will get that. But there's a.
983
01:59:18.530 --> 01:59:42.210
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): difference, as John said, they have
these summer basic people are… I mean, they know, they have been seasoned
warriors. Bianca people are a small group, so they're doing everything by
themselves. So we can understand they have warmth, they have, like,
closeness, but these Samoa people, they have given their services,
they've outsourced it, they've delegated it, so these girls are doing
only this work. Like, that's why it comes out as what is best for the
group.
984
01:59:42.210 --> 01:59:44.210
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): But I feel that… And each one's
great. Yep.
985
01:59:44.210 --> 01:59:46.600
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yep. Okay, so… Thank you.
986
01:59:49.330 --> 01:59:52.280
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, thank you all.
987
01:59:52.285 --> 01:59:57.035
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner, attendance at upcoming
meetings,
988
01:59:57.485 --> 02:00:02.714
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I mentioned the mayor's Commissioner
meeting. I don't think there's any other meetings.
989
02:00:02.945 --> 02:00:16.374
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): That I'm aware of. Please speak up
if otherwise. Moving right along, future agenda setting. This is an
opportunity for anyone to bring up any potential
990
02:00:16.545 --> 02:00:20.715
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Agenda item, for us to discuss at a
future meeting.
991
02:00:20.915 --> 02:00:23.275
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Any, proposals?
992
02:00:25.700 --> 02:00:30.609
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): We already said that we will include
that list from John, so…
993
02:00:32.630 --> 02:00:35.580
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Which is a pretty comprehensive
list. And then we also.
994
02:00:35.585 --> 02:00:47.385
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): already mentioned that at our next
meeting, we're going to be talking about the theme for the Artist Awards.
Correct. That's two already. Do we? Yes, please.
995
02:00:47.565 --> 02:01:03.235
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, this is, asking the staff, so
when we talk about work program, I know there'll be a new, year starting
in July, for the city, going from July to June, right? Is there anything
that
996
02:01:04.205 --> 02:01:07.865
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): we should be aware of for anything
that comes up.
997
02:01:07.865 --> 02:01:10.215
Speaker 20 (Quinlan Conference Room): said, How's that done?
998
02:01:10.215 --> 02:01:10.915
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Workframes.
999
02:01:10.915 --> 02:01:13.274
Speaker 20 (Quinlan Conference Room): every 2 years? It's every 2 years.
1000
02:01:13.275 --> 02:01:15.214
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay. So he is… is…
1001
02:01:15.220 --> 02:01:16.409
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Working its way in.
1002
02:01:17.090 --> 02:01:25.060
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): to next year. Okay, okay, that's
very helpful. So this… and that is exactly what you had on the list. So
we still have this one year to…
1003
02:01:25.205 --> 02:01:26.934
Speaker 20 (Quinlan Conference Room): I… well, I think this… this is.
1004
02:01:28.040 --> 02:01:32.569
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's not in the work program any
longer, but if it's… if it was started
1005
02:01:32.830 --> 02:01:40.079
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's finishing. Yeah, okay. So it's
still being tracked. Okay. So it's still considered technically a work
program plan from prior, prior year.
1006
02:01:40.085 --> 02:01:41.954
Speaker 20 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, so in summary, my.
1007
02:01:41.960 --> 02:01:42.650
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): West is…
1008
02:01:42.925 --> 02:01:54.714
Speaker 20 (Quinlan Conference Room): what… please help us, bring to our
attention, to our Commission, work program items that the City Council
is,
1009
02:01:54.715 --> 02:02:04.834
Speaker 20 (Quinlan Conference Room): has defined for us, either in
previous year or anything that's still kind of lying out there, and we
haven't talked about it. So, that's all.
1010
02:02:04.835 --> 02:02:19.694
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I think a learning experience
for us is, you know, bringing the Council first instead of session. I
think, you know, it was a… we had discussed it throughout the last couple
years, that the work for… the work item was very…
1011
02:02:20.035 --> 02:02:30.894
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's a little vague, open-ended,
and subject to interpretation. And so, I think that was the biggest
lesson I learned from this, was, you know, briefing them first, having
1012
02:02:31.015 --> 02:02:34.844
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Whittle it down, and then send us
our way. Yeah.
1013
02:02:34.845 --> 02:02:48.865
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): What I understood was there should
be something that we haven't done, because we didn't know about it,
that's all. Anything pending that, you know, we can take a look, review,
or at least to be done kind of action, instead of just not knowing that
we're supposed to do that.
1014
02:02:51.340 --> 02:02:52.080
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you.
1015
02:02:53.390 --> 02:02:54.390
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Alright.
1016
02:02:54.890 --> 02:02:58.330
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think technically… I second.
1017
02:02:58.990 --> 02:03:02.459
Speaker 19 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, cool. Okay, yeah. Thank you.
1018
02:03:02.465 --> 02:03:07.174
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Basically, future agenda items seem
to be seconded.
1019
02:03:08.135 --> 02:03:09.224
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): That was a very sweet.
1020
02:03:09.225 --> 02:03:13.994
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): way of saying, yes, I agree. That
was very true.
1021
02:03:13.995 --> 02:03:17.485
Speaker 21 (Quinlan Conference Room): Alright.
1022
02:03:17.485 --> 02:03:23.295
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I do think we have a packed July
meeting. Yep.
1023
02:03:23.405 --> 02:03:40.614
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I guess that will conclude that
section. And that also concludes our meeting. Thank you all for a very
productive and efficient meeting. The time is 8.36, and I call this
meeting adjourned. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
1024
02:03:40.615 --> 02:03:42.035
Speaker 20 (Quinlan Conference Room): and the staff.
1025
02:03:42.295 --> 02:03:43.745
Speaker 20 (Quinlan Conference Room): For the efficiency.
