Public comment from the Audience regarding items not listed on the agenda

Parks and Recreation Commission June 9, 2016 Page 1

Jan Serra – provided information about drinking, drug, and graffiti problems that are occurring at Laurel Creek Park, possibly by teenagers. She noted that dawn to dusk signage posted in this area is not being enforced. Ms. Serra advised that gates are being left open and police do respond when contacted. Stan Willis – advised that the problem was worse that had been stated by Ms. Serra and that at 2:00 p.m. today three young men with bongs had been sitting on top of their cars smoking ‘pot’. Mr. Willis noted that drugs, alcohol, and sex are all occurring in this park area and felt Laurel Creek Park provided no utility for Pleasanton residents and should be shut down. Kathy Harirchi – commented on issues taking place at this park and noted that the park used to be closed at dusk. She noted that drugs, alcohol, condoms, and fire are all areas of concerns for residents in the area and residents would now like to see this park closed permanently. Ms. Harirchi discussed retaliation taken by kids involved. Ms. Andrade-Wax noted that because this was not an item on the regular agenda, so the Parks and Recreation Commission could not discuss the item or take any action on it at this time. Commissioner Streng noted that the Commission may comment on this later in the meeting and request that this be added to the agenda for a future meeting. MATTERS BEFORE THE COMMISSION 4.

Discussion of Integrated Pest Management in City Maintained Public Spaces

Mr., Gibson reviewed with Commissioners the Staff Report regarding the use of pesticides in City parks and public spaces. He noted that most of staff’s efforts are preventative, and they implement methods and practices that encourage growth of desired plantings while discouraging undesirable plants. Commissioners were provided information about the California Department of Pesticides rules and regulations for pesticide use in California and advised that no pesticide can be used that hasn’t passed the state’s rigorous vetting process. Mr. Gibson noted that the City of Pleasanton has three (3) licensed pesticide advisors on staff, and as required by law, all park staff that apply pesticides receive annual worker safety training, and in the last twenty (20) years the City of Pleasanton has never received a citation for unsafe pesticide practices during inspections from the County. Additionally, Commissioners were advised by Ms. Gibson that over the last fifteen (15) years the City has reduced overall pesticide use. A mulching program was started in 1995 and Pleasanton was one of the first municipalities to install a central irrigation management system, both of which are used to control and suppress weeds. Mr. Gibson discussed terms of toxicology noting that exposure is defined by what is known as a chronic or acute does. He advised that the City of Pleasanton only applies pesticides with methods that insure no exposure to the public and staff are trained to evaluate every situation

Parks and Recreation Commission June 9, 2016 Page 2

for safety before applying produce to control a space, and only use products that would not leave a residue that could result in exposure. Commissioners were informed by Mr. Gibson that alternative herbicides approved for organic food production are available and typically are acetic acids (vinegar), soaps or oils that burn down the top portion of the plant, but do not kill the entire plant. Using these types of materials to achieve the same weed control would increase material costs 17 to 40 times and labor by over 30% of what is spent on traditional herbicides. Mr. Gibson noted that Pleasanton has maintained a high standard for weed free landscapes and parks and safe use of traditional herbicides allows them to maintain these standards. He summarized by stating that the City of Pleasanton’s Parks Division’s Integrated Pest Management and Weed Abatement Programs are regulated and have proven to be successful and recognized as best management practices within the industry. Chairperson Wahl discussed with Mr. Gibson other chemicals that have been used for spot spraying. Commissioner Bowers indicated he was pleased to learn about the natural means of weed control being used by the City of Pleasanton. Commissioner Lambert commented on the use of pesticides in areas where children play. He also discussed mowing methods used by the City. Commission Bowers discussed section #10 of the Integrated Pest Management Policy with Stan Gibson. Commissioner Streng stated that the report was unclear on: 1) how much pesticide was being used, 2) the exposure of pesticides to the public and how it is being checked; 3) signage requirements about pesticide usage; 4) pesticide standards for parks; and 5) less pesticide requirement by drought resistant plants. Mr. Gibson advised that: 1) 95% of pesticides used in the City are in planters, tree wells, and around fields; 2) pesticides are applied in a method to prevent exposure; 3) discussed use in Utah and action taken by the State of California; 4) agreement with contractor and “no weed” statement provided; and 5) City of Pleasanton requirements provided and finding plants that fit City standards. Chairperson Wahl opened the meeting for Public Comment at 7:35 p.m. Amanda Brown – provided information about her background and interest in reducing the use of pesticides and toxicology. She noted that many parks across California are making changes to avoid problems that might affect children and pets. Ms. Brown felt that the staff report did not provide key information and thought the Commission should want to learn more, such as is the public able to access all pertinent data, and should other alternatives be considered. She thanked the Commission for considering this topic. Parks and Recreation Commission June 9, 2016 Page 3

Vicki LaBarge – indicated that she had grown up in the age of DDT, and now feels the same way about Roundup and other similar products which is why she has switched to a vinegar and salt solution, rather than chemicals, as her preferred treatment of problematic area. Ms. LaBarge indicated that she would prefer not going to parks that are sprayed with Roundup and would like to be notified when spraying is taking place. She felt the public should be notified about spraying times so they can make their own decisions about visiting parks and public places. Leslie Ziegler – expressed her concern about the use of pesticides, especially Roundup, because of carcinogens and the fact it has been placed on the California list of pesticides. Ms. Ziegler noted that changes in the use of pesticides were taking place in the County and would like for the City of Pleasanton to consider similar changes. Espi Covarrabine – was concerned about the pesticides that the City of Pleasanton is using and the associated health concerns for children. She would like the city to make information available to residents and consider alternative methods for dealing with problematic weeds, etc. Angela Ramirez Holmes – a Zone 7 representative. Ms. Holmes indicated that on contacting City staff she had not been able to access pertinent information and had been told she needed to complete a formal public records request. Ms. Holms felt the staff report was lacking in providing substantial information that should be readily available to the public and felt more could be provided on the city’s website. She suggested the current process be looked at to determine if improvements can be made, and stated she was unsure why roadblocks have been put in place. She urged the Commission to ask for more information and make it available to the public. Chairperson Wahl closed the Public Hearing at 7:47 p.m. Commissioner Streng thanked everyone for attending the meeting and stated that he understood their concerns and frustration. He did not believe city staff was doing anything to obstruct making information available. Commissioner Streng indicated that he too felt information and data was insufficient regarding the use of pesticides and would like staff to provide better details and provide notifications about spraying days, etc. He stated that he would be in favor of supporting a pilot program to see what a park would look like going pesticide free and using only herbal pesticides. Commissioner Streng would like staff to do some work to reduce pesticide usage and be more aggressive. Commissioner Bowers would like staff to provide a summary of the pesticides currently being used. He also asked about a predetermined schedule for spraying. Mr. Gibson advised that information is available in a month-to-month summary the city provides to the county, and tracking is done on where it is being used. He also noted that spraying depends a lot on weather conditions.

Parks and Recreation Commission June 9, 2016 Page 4

Commissioner Hottle agreed with other comments and asked how difficult it would be for staff to provide a spreadsheet for tracking each area and indicating what pesticides are being used in each park. He felt the Commission would like to learn what is being used and in what areas. Mr. Gibson indicated that this information could be provided. Commissioner Hottle provided information about artificial turf improvements staff had made after he had expressed his concerns some time ago. Commissioner Lambert thanked the public for their comments and noted they have been heard by the Commission. He discussed how the website can be used to provide information, and felt other means of controlling weeds could be considered. Commissioner Lambert felt initiating a pilot program could be held in one of the parks and as additional information becomes available it can be provided for the public. Commissioner Ambrishamchian discussed the use of pesticides and the outreach issue and felt more information could have been provided in the staff report. He asked about the Alameda County Clean Water issue and what this requires. Commissioner Ambrishamchian suggested the establishment of an education and outreach program. Chairperson Wahl indicated that she: 1) understood concerns about use of pesticides and weather, 2) notifying the public about spray days on the website 3) spraying pesticides in parks seems to be minimal, but data is needed, 4) the public seems to be more concerned about the use of Roundup, and 5) agrees with a pilot program being conducted in one park. She discussed concerns about related costs and asked that more data be provided. Commissioner Streng asked staff for information on how best to move forward on this matter and whether something needed to be agendized for a future meeting. Mr. Gibson advised that staff could provide some data that can be collated, but felt it might be difficult to provide it for each individual park. Chairperson Wahl indicated that the Commission would like to look at what and when pesticides are being used in the parks. Ms. Andrade-Wax suggested staff provide the Commission with a data sample, i.e. types of pesticides used, park locations, and frequency. Additional information will be provided after staff has had time to collect and put some data together. Chairperson Wahl agreed that more needed to be provided before the Commission can recommend further steps be taken. Commissioner Hottle asked if a template report could be provided by the next meeting. Mr. Gibson advised that staff could pull information for some selected parks. Chairperson Wahl asked if park areas sprayed could be provided. Commissioner Hottle asked if the rest of the Commission would like to be provided information from the past six (6) months that would help them with moving forward. Commissioner Bowers

Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda Report August 11, 2016 Item 4 SUBJECT:

APPROVE THE COMMISSION AND LOCATION OF THE PUBLIC ARTWORK, “ARC SUSPENSION” AT 4477 BLACK AVENUE

SUMMARY “Arc Suspension” is a stainless steel sculpture commissioned by the City of Pleasanton, with additional funding provided by Nancy and Gary Harrington and the Pleasanton Cultural Arts Council (PCAC). The location for the art piece will be in front of the newly renovated Cultural Arts Center located at 4477 Black Avenue, within Amador Valley Community Park. The proposed concept for the art piece and the location have been reviewed and approved by the Public Art Selection Subcommittee, and is being forwarded to the Parks and Recreation Commission for your review. If approved, the item will be forwarded to the Civic Arts Commission and City Council for their review and consideration.

RECOMMENDATION That the Parks and Recreation Commission approve the commission and location of the public artwork, “Arc Suspension” at 4477 Black Avenue.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT The artwork “Arc Suspension,” which is valued at $56,000, will be funded by a contribution from the City’s Public Art Acquisition Fund #50550110 – 440109 ($20,000) and donations by the Harrington Art Partnership ($24,000) and the Pleasanton Cultural Arts Council ($12,000). Pursuant to the terms of the Harrington Art Partnership and Pleasanton Cultural Arts Council, it is the City’s responsibility to coordinate and pay for the installation of the public artwork. The cost of installing the piece is estimated between $5,000 and $7,000, and will also be funded through the Public Art Acquisition Fund.

BACKGROUND Through the City of Pleasanton’s Renovation Plan, the Cultural Arts Center was identified to have major improvements completed to both the interior of the building and landscaping around the building in the spring/summer of 2016. Due to lack of proper signage and heavy foliage around the building as well as the building being set back off the street, the building had been misidentified by the community and new patrons trying to find its location within Amador Valley Community Park. To resolve this issue, staff felt that a public art piece would reflect the facility’s significant cultural art history, as well as help identify its location and entrance. Please note that additional park signage will also be installed at the facility’s frontage. In January 2016 a “Call for Artists” – for a Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) was made to the public. The City received thirty (30) submissions from this Call. A Call for Artists has not been done by the City since Swimming Through Air was selected to go in front of the Dolores Bengston Aquatic Center in 2001. On February 5, 2016 the Public Art Selection Subcommittee (PASS) was invited to review eighteen (18) proposals that met the requirements of the Call for Artists. Of these eighteen (18) submittals, two (2) artists were selected to move into the final selection process. Both artists, Jon Seeman from Laguna Beach, CA and CJ Rench from Hood River, Oregon were asked to submit a detailed maquette of their proposed art piece. Both artists submitted final diagrams/sketches with detailed descriptions. Jon Seeman was selected as the finalist by PASS. As both artists submitted diagrams and sketches instead of the requested maquette, the Public Art Selection Subcommittee spent a considerable amount of time also reviewing each artists portfolios. During this review they found a more significant sculpture that Mr. Seeman had completed in Southern California that they preferred over his original proposal. Although the piece in Southern California was much more expensive, staff contacted Mr. Seeman to see if he could re-submit a design with maquette that was similar to the sculpture in Southern California. Due to the increased cost of the piece, representatives of PCAC had reassured the City that they would be willing to ask the Harringtons for additional financial support as well as provide funding from their organization and/or engage in a fundraising campaign to help fund the new and improved design. DISCUSSION Jon Seeman has submitted his new proposed model called “Arc Suspension” which will be ten (10) feet tall, and will be made of a combination of patterned and polished stainless steel. PASS reviewed the maquette on July 12, 2016 and voted unanimously to move forward in the approval process (Attachment 1). This commissioned piece is valued at $80,000 by the artist but he is providing it to the City for $56,000. The City of Pleasanton will provide $20,000 towards the purchase of the piece. Nancy and Gary Harrington have verbally committed to contribute $24,000 towards the purchase and the PCAC has verbally committed to provide the remaining $12,000. Both the Harringtons and PCAC will be acknowledged on a plaque that will be placed with the piece for their contributions. Mr. Seeman has previous experience with working with the City of Pleasanton as he currently has a public art piece titled “Spiral Motion III” that is located at the Firehouse Arts Center which was acquired in 2010. Since 2005, Mr. Seeman has worked with a variety of public art committees and commissions and has over 25 pieces on his resume. He primarily works with the medium of

stainless steel, and most of his sculptures have been installed along the west coast. He comes with great credentials and has been known to be flexible and easy to work with. The proposed location has strong visibility from Black Avenue and the art piece will create a sense of connection to the Cultural Arts Center. The City’s art conservator, City staff, and PASS all believe that the proposed location and installation details will showcase the artwork and the newly renovated facility.
