Projects for 2014 -15 (Numbers correspond to numbers of purposes) Mural Policy - - -(2) —The Commission is currently working on a policy regarding murals in the City. This policy will establish a process for obtaining permits for mural painting on both private and public property. The recommended policy will be ready for review by the LRC by the middle of October. From that point, if approved by the LRC, it will be presented for Council approval. We would hope to have it in effect by the end of November. The policy will include a plan for _ assessing current murals in the city, in terms of acceptability. --6;-r. Public Art -1 This is a long -term objective, and will be discus ed by the Commission in the spring of 2015. The plan would be to define "public art," and to discuss current public art, and ways of funding future such endeavors. Networking opportunities -3 The Commission will host quarterly gatherings of arts leaders in the City, giving them an opportunity to share ideas, and to possibly collaborate on projects. October 28, 2014 Version (Unchanged from October 14 2014 version) Community Arts Calendar -2 Currently, the FAC is accepting information about arts events, and putting those announcements on a Facebook page which has been established.

Grants to arts organizations -1 and 2 -- A sub - committee of the Commision is currently looking at the criteria and process that was established several years ago. The sub - committee will report to the Commission by the end of October. At that time, arts organizations will be notified of the timeline for applying for a grant. Because we are well into the fiscal year 2014 -15, the grants for this fiscal year will most likely be for a partial year, beginning in January. Databases of arts organizations, venues and artists -3 This is an on -going project. The Commission members are currently in the process of gathering this information. These databases may be available on the city's website. Film Production Booklet -1 This is currently a project in the office of the City Clerk, with input from Commission members.

Timeline and Plan. November Submit a written request under the California Public Records Act to the City Attorney's office requesting a Fund Balance for the development fees held by the city that are restricted to fine arts utilization.

December If a response has been received from the City Attorney's office and funds are available, the members of the commission will request to be put on the agenda for the City Council Meeting and request permission from the council to disburse the monies to the proposed Workshop Grants.

COMMISSIONER/STAFF ANNOUNCEMENTS It was announced that Jack Hill Day will be on Thursday, October 16, 2014. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A motion was made by Tony Barber to approve the Minutes from September 23, 2014. The motion was seconded by Michael Segura. Motion passed. OLD BUSINESS — Mural Policy GUEST SPEAKER Steven Graham, Deputy City Attorney stated that he was asked to look over the Proposed Original Artwork Mural Ordinance submitted by the FAC. He stated that he was super excited Page Two Fine Arts Commission Meeting — October 14, 2014 to be assigned to the FAC and he volunteered for this assignment. He is also an advisor to the Library and Parks. He noticed the Proposed Original Artwork Mural Ordinance attempts to address both "private" and "public" property murals. He highly recommends separating them out and have redundant sections that have the same language. They can be within the same ordinance. He stated that as it now stands there is no process in place for public art. After looking at what the FAC has put together, it would most likely have to go within the Development Code. It would become a Development Code amendment. The Development Code requires that amendments go to the Planning Commission and then to the Council. He just wanted to let the FAC know that there are some other procedural things that the FAC is going to have to deal with. Mr. Graham's recommendation would be to spend more time with what the FAC has put together. He recommended being given 35 -45 days to go over it. While he is reviewing this he suggests that the FAC assign someone in the commission to serve as his point of contact while he is doing research. He said they could bring back a draft with recommended changes as they relate to the legal analysis of it. His recommendation would be to minimize the possibility of litigation against the City and to make it as smooth as possible. A motion was made by Bronica Taylor that our Chairperson Dorothy Garcia and Michael Segura, Chairperson of the Mural Subcommittee meet with Steven Graham, Deputy City Attorney to further discuss the proposed Mural policy. The motion was seconded by Deborah Bunger. Motion passed. Gigi Hanna indicated that she met with Mark Persico, Director of Community Development to discuss some of his concerns. First of all, he indicated that we needed to delete "non- commercial signage" which is public /private. Page Three Fine Arts Commission Meeting — October 14, 2014 The following were some of the concerns that Mr. Persico had: N. Grandfathered /Legacy Murals - Mr. Persico thought that some of the wording about non- conforming which was changed to legacy murals may legalize murals the FAC may not want to legalize. That again is something the City Attorney's office can look at. E. Development Standards states the mural shall remain in place without alterations for a minimum of three years from the date. Mr. Persico was concerned that we are using a minimum length and not a maximum length. He thought that was probably more up to Code since we don't know how long they're going to be up. If you have to have a start and end date three to five years, just be more specific. F. Prohibited Murals - Mr. Persico stated we need to keep this paragraph in because the mural indicates a large space and you are not going to get a large space on a single family house or a small apartment. L (1) Application Process — The FAC talked about murals on public property being approved by the Department Director responsible for the property involved. Public buildings would be the purview of the Public Works Director. I. (4) Application Process - Mr. Persico stated that if the Ordinance doesn't require Council approval you delegate it to the staff, but that gets into what Mr. Graham was talking about as far as the selection process. That is going to be something legal is going to be looking at. (2) Mr. Persico suggested replacing "summarily" with "removed ". M. (2) Removal of a Permitted Mural — The FAC needs to define what artists' rights are. N. (1) Non - Conforming Murals /Grandfathered /Legacy Murals - Mr. Persico said to put it back to 12 months because of staffing issues. (2) In regards to removal of mural Mr. Persico suggested the FAC put three months instead of six. Ms. Hanna stated she would also be sharing these concerns with Mr. Graham of the City Attorney's office. She said that this gave City staff a very good idea of where the FAC wants to go with this and then they will come up with an ordinance that will try to meet the FAC's needs. Page Four Fine Arts Commission Meeting — October 14, 2014 NEW BUSINESS — Grants Committee Report Chairperson Garcia stated that the Business Plan Subcommittee met some time ago and came up with a rough draft of description, goals, funding, and longer term projects for a business plan. A copy was provided to the FAC. Chairperson Garcia also stated that she and Gigi Hanna met with Michael McKinney, Mayor's Chief of Staff and was told by Mr. McKinney that the Mayor was looking for a five year plan. They felt it would be best to present a one year plan. Lynette Kaplan stated that the subcommittee met on October 5, 2014 and looked at what grants used to be which was that the organization had to be a 5010 established and funded for various projects in all fields of the arts. The subcommittee felt that some of that money should go to Educational programs in the Arts. Discussion continued by the FAC regarding grant funds for various projects. It was suggested that we partner with Parks, Recreation and Community Services and the San Bernardino Unified School District. Chairperson Garcia suggested that the subcommittee meet again after speaking to Parks, Recreation and Community Services and the San Bernardino Unified School District. Chairperson Garcia also asked that the commissioners look at the request provided by Patrick Jewett of the Black Culture Foundation regarding donations for the sculpture of Rosa Parks. THIRD THURSDAY FOOD FEST Chairperson Garcia stated that the FAC should aim for the November 20, 2014 event. Jeffrey Thurman stated that he contacted Richardson Prep High and San Gorgonio High School, about performing at the Third Thursday Food Fest. The problem getting bands here is economics. The students have to be transported by buses and cannot be privately transported here. Chairperson Garcia stated that she has tickets for performances from the Sinfonia, Cal State Showcase, and the Symphony. Lynette Kaplan made a motion to wait until the November 20, 2014 First Thursday Food Fest for the art display and to hold on to raffle tickets for drawing until then. The motion was seconded by Barbara Babcock. Motion passed. Page Five Fine Arts Commission Meeting — October 14, 2014 PUBLIC COMMENTS Jacob Cook, San Bernardino musician spoke about an Art Town Grant. Elizabeth Flores, San Bernardino artist spoke about her interests in murals and about the mural she painted at 777 North Waterman Avenue, San Bernardino. Jennifer Billens, San Bernardino spoke about her feedback on specific items within the draft Mural ordinance. Jorge Heredia, member of Generation Now spoke about his interest in the mural ordinance. He met with Mayor Davis and he stated that what he would like from Generation Now to be involved with youth to prevent them from joining gangs. He stated that doing art with these kids would be a perfect opportunity for them. Doug Rickert of Bud Rickert Art Center, San Bernardino spoke about his support of placing short termed murals on "E" Street.

That supporting role was just the idea supervisors Jeff Stone and John Benoit had in mind last year wher they proposed amending county ordinance to give commercial production companies temporary, free use of county -owned pro- perty and facilities during filming. "This is exactly the kind of assistance we wanted to provide," said Stone, chair- man of the board. "It stim- ulates the economy, pro- vides jobs and helps the mo- vie industry thrive in Cali- fornia." The ordinance was amended in October amid reports that many movie production companies were abandoning California for more film-friendly`loca- tions. On Sept. 3, panicked pro - ducers of the movie "Chalk It Up" wound up without a shooting location and con- tacted the Riverside Coun- ty Film and Television Of- A crew from the movie "Chalk it Up" uses the Board of Supervisors chambers as a location last month. rice. With help from the clerk of the board and Facil- ities Management, a crew spent two days filming. County staff also secured other shooting locations for the movie, a sports film along the lines of Disney's "Stick It." The chambers doubled as a college audito- rium classroom, and other offices in the county Admi- nistrative Center were used. Maddy Curley, Nikki Soo Hoo and Tarah Paige, the lead actresses in "Stick It," joined forces again in "Chalk It Up." Written and produced by Curley and Brooke Buffington, the film tells the tale of a girl who is dumped by her boyfriend and decides to win him back, an effort that includes building a college gymnas- tics team. "The Film and Television Office eliminated red tape and, in one stop, kept our production moving for- ward. Riverside County is filled with wonderful loca- tions and filming opportun- ities," Buffington said. Since the county ordi- nance was amended, pro- duction companies have used county facilities and property several times on projects such as "Little Loopers," starring singer and actress Natalie Imbru- glia. :FLY BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT TO BEGIN REDLANDS • Construction is set to start next week on improvements to un- derpasses at Eureka, Orange and Sixth streets in Redlands.
