Title

Call for Art - Senior Center Security Gate

Recommended Action

I move that the Art in Public Places Board recommend to Council the approval of an expenditure not to exceed $20,000 for the Senior Center Security Gate art project, titled Los Alamos Heritage Gate by artist Jonathon Watson. This amount will cover the cost of the gate, installation, and a contingency for any additional project-related expenses.

Body

APP members will discuss updates from the desired artist for this project regarding his response to APPB members’ concerns regarding the use of the Zia symbol.  Information regarding long-term maintenance plans and costs provided by Pacific Coast Restoration will also be discussed.
