Explained the design process. Public Input from stakeholders etc., in May 2016 Council approved a plan, Mr. Kahn, artist was present to provide information and details on his proposals. Sedgley asked about the ring; Mr. Rick introduced members of teh panel that were present, and members from PASC and PRAC, did express the fine work that the committee did, and what their suport was in terms of the review. Chris Craiker - Dwight Murray is a small park. Deserves something unique, this is a good opportunity to experience something different, this is unique. Some people concerned the loss of a traditional water fountain. This art installation doesn't cover the whole plaza, but does provide a unique piece or art. Supports it. Bernie Navaez, resident, does not think this design works for this plaza. Concerned that it would hinder some events. Concerned it may not be enough shade. Not approve at this time and look at alternate designs by Mr. Kahn. John Hannaford - member of the selection panel, he is an artist and teacher of art. Selection committee real range of interest. The artist, Ned is an international known artist. This is perfect for the use. It will provide flexibility for events, doesn't take up space. Supports it. Kristina Young, supports the project, she was on the selection panel, they met with Ned several times, they came to the conclusion this was the right piece for the space. Mark Lucas, have open eyes. Spoke in support of the artwork. Artist trained under Oppenhauer. Supports the artwork. Should be raised up higher. Art is subjective. Craig Smith, Downtown Association Executive Director. He was amazed when the clock tower was taken down. Fully support the piece that Ned has done. There is sufficient space, it may need to be raised, but it will make the space functional. This is a busy time, please start construction at fall or late fall. CITY OF NAPA Page 7 Printed on 3/27/2017 CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - Final March 21, 2017 Rick Zaslove - business owner DT, own EIKOS and under contract with Atlas Social Last week he saw the piece and wasn't sure, now that he sees more he likes it and supports it. His biggest concern is opening at Mid June, is the plaza being constructed in mid June at a busy time. Like the project, just concerned about timing put off till late Fall. Comments from Council. Gentry - like the structure, take a look at how tall the stage is and how tall is the backdrop, and how tall the structure should be. Good thing to take a look at. It has a bowl affect. Sedgley - very amazing art,commented. Inman - intriguing project, the look is great ; she saw some pieces she liked better. This is a form or tent, trampoline or a net or a drum, it is a form in the landscape. A plaza is meant to be an open air space, the word plaza is spanish and is supposed to be open air gathering space. Too Large and too low, and is a piece of architecture, it is an enclosure for the plaza, but creating a tent here is not a good idea. Does not meet flexible space, trees, shades, furniture, umbrellas, will obstruct visibility for businesses and will obstruct Brown Street corridor, it does meet the criteria of the project. The whole plaza becomes a podium for this piece, the people want to have a plaza there, would liek to see design development of one or more of the concepts that were presented. Mott - like the work he has done. Mott has concerns. 15 feet is too short. Concerns about vandalism tennis shoes hanging from the art etc., would you have the staffing and ability if the art were raised up to 20 or 24 feet, how do we keep balls, shoes and other items out of the art work. John Coates stated that there are four full time workers in the downtown area, a lot of the issues would depend on what else would be happening. Suggested if we don't use this piece we should use Mr. Kahn at some time. At Mayor's request, Craig Smith came to the podium. Are you comfortable with the design? Yes, the height could be higher he could look at that. Check further, he doesn't see this as a problem at all, he doesn't see the poles as a problem at all. Discussion ensued. Mr. Kahn stated the angle of the poles can be further out, making the structure taller is not a problem. The height of the ring is determined by CITY OF NAPA Page 8 Printed on 3/27/2017 CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - Final March 21, 2017 the cables. Everything about it is adjustable. the curvature of the net is adjustable. Mayor asked Rick Tooker about the timing. Have not let the contract out, we understand during the summer and approaching the fall is peak season. Mott - would like to have the pole placement is brought back to staff to review that again. Mott wants to make sure issues are taken. CA - the recommendation is to approve the contract. LaRochelle, PW Director, we don't want to rush this - staff feels that the construction season is now lost - to start now (GD Nielson is the contractor), but there are significant elecment, if we could delay the construction to October, it would help to solidify the project. Gentry said she heard the artist say that he is amendable to adjust height up or down, that can be done. She's comfortable moving forward iwth this.
