Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a 10-year lease agreement with St. Leander Parish for the use of the exterior west facing wall on the gymnasium building for the installation of artwork at 474 West Estudillo Avenue.
Analysis
On November 16, 2013, the City held an Arts and Culture Town Hall meeting to present ongoing cultural and art programs in the City and to seek input on future programs. The format was interactive and offered multiple opportunities for participants to provide direction on the City's arts and cultural programs. One of the priorities coming out of the meeting was to promote art projects citywide and find spaces for these projects. The proposed lease space at St. Leander Parish will be used for artwork promoting the cultural heritage of San Leandro.
The following are the lease agreement terms between the City and St. Leander Parish:
* 10 year initial term at $5,000, optional renewal for another 10 years at $5,000, total of $10,000.
* St. Leander Parish and the City must both agree on the proposed artwork design, which will be funded either by the City or through partnerships developed by the City.
* City will maintain the artwork and the wall clean, and graffiti and hazard free.
* City will maintain appropriate levels of commercial and general liability insurance.
Although planning is underway to determine the art that will be installed at this location, no firm plans are in place at this time. Staff will provide an update to the City Council when more information is available.
