Sent: Sunday, August 2,2020,10:33 AM To: planning@cityofl averne.org Subject: Temporary CHALK ART Hi city of La Verne, My name is Gus Moran and I am a local resident and professional chalk artist. I am a graduate of Damien High School and an art teacher. I would like permission to chalk a mural on D street where out door dining is currently being held. I use chalk and water. The image can be washed away or will eventually fade away if left alone. There would be no cost to you I would supply all chalk. I've been doing chalk for over 14 years all over the country. Places like Reno Nevada, Murrieta Georgia, Tampa Florida, Illinois Chicago, Prescott Arizona and locally in Downtown Glendora, Pasadena, Palm Springs to name a few. My thought is to chalk a 3D image where patrons can interact with the art. I am attaching some previous works made with chalk. Please consider this at your meeting Monday and my hope is that I hear a positive response from the council, thank you for your consideration.

Calendar: I have an idea for a possible event. I was wondering if we can have Major Williams Republican Candidate for Governor of Califomiain2022 speak here. It would be a wonderful event to have him speak and talk to our residents and business owners on issues in our state and our city. Here is the email to contact his campaign regarding meet ups: mailto:meetmajor@ma.iorforgovernor.com 2. 6. Public Comment: I would like to have everyone on this board fight for our businesses to have indoor services again. Our residents are sick and tired of Newsoms restrictions it needs to end. I am also asking everyone to get the city to file a lawsuit against the Governor for the indoor closures this is unacceptable. 5
