Background In May 1993, Palm Desert’s Civic Arts Committee recommended approval of Recreation Liberates by Jos Gomolka, for installation at the Palm Desert Community Center, which was subsequently approved by the City Council. The glass sculpture, which was dedicated along with the building on September 19, 1993, was created specifically for the lobby at a total cost of $12,000. The Palm Desert Community Center has planned renovations scheduled to begin in January 2024 and the new design does not incorporate the sculpture due to its large size and outdated design. In accordance with the Public Art Deaccession Policy adopted by the City Council on July 13, 2023, given the age of the installation and size and sight specific nature of the artwork, staff recommends that Recreation Liberates by Jos Gomolka be permanently deaccessioned from the City’s permanent collection based on the following criteria: 1.The sculpture has been in place for more than fifteen (15) years. 2.The costs of relocating the artwork exceed the value of the artwork. 3.Loss of Site - No alternative site for the artwork is available. Given that the framed housing of the sculpture would need to be reconstructed once removed, the costs exceed the value of the artwork and thereby it would not be cost effective to relocate or sell. As such, the only feasible deaccession method would be to properly dispose of the artwork. At its regular meeting on September 13, 2023, the Cultural Arts Committee requested that a press release be sent out to the community offering the sculpture as a donation. Page 11 November 8, 2023 – Staff Report Deaccession of Recreation Liberates Page 2 of 2 On October 5, 2023, a press release was sent out and the City did not receive any responses. After several attempts to reach the artist’s family, staff received a call from Jos Gomolka’s daughter, Silva deJong, on October 12, 2023. Ms. deJong is requesting to take possession of two (2) of the smaller pieces of the sculpture - one end piece and one in the wall. Given that the artwork meets all criteria for deaccession, and there was no response to the City’s press release offering the sculpture as a donation, staff is recommending removal of the sculpture from the City’s collection via the formal deaccession process with partial donation of the artwork to the daughter of Jos Gomolka and disposal of the remainder. Fiscal Analysis The cost of the artwork was $12,000 in May 1993. Staff has no record of current fair market value of this site-specific work. Attachments 1. Deaccession Policy 2.

Press Release Page 12 City of Palm Desert’s Public Art Deaccessioning Policy DEFINITION Deaccession means the formal process to permanently remove a City-owned public artwork by selling, donating, or destroying it. POLICY A. The purpose of the Public Art Deaccessioning Policy (“Policy”) is to maintain a deaccession program that results in high-quality, City-owned public artwork; eliminate artworks that are unsafe, not repairable, or no longer meet the needs of the City, and respect the creative rights of artists. B. Although the City of Palm Desert would like each public artwork to remain in situ for a minimum of 15 years (although 15 years is not a limit on the life of an artwork), it recognizes that public artwork is not necessarily going to remain in place in perpetuity. C. Any proposal for removal, destruction, or relocation of an artwork shall be submitted to the Cultural Arts Committee by City staff and reviewed according to the policies and procedures contained herein and shall be deliberate and independent of political pressures, fluctuations in artistic taste, popularity, and public opinion. D. At regular intervals, the City’s public artwork collection shall be evaluated by the Cultural Arts Committee to determine the condition of each artwork and determine whether any artwork should be deaccessioned. APPLICABLE ARTWORK This Policy applies to all City-owned artwork acquired through the Public Art program or through donation. In the case of donated artwork, all legal documents surrounding the donation must be reviewed and a legal opinion rendered by the City Attorney before proceeding with the deaccessioning process. CRITERIA FOR DEACCESSIONING One or more of the following criteria must apply prior to an artwork being deaccessed: 1. Damage Beyond Repair - The artwork has been damaged and repair is unfeasible or repair costs would exceed the value of the artwork. 2. Safety - The artwork is deemed hazardous and a threat to public safety. 3. Deterioration - The artwork has deteriorated to the point that the restoration cost is greater than its monetary value or the artwork has deteriorated beyond the original design and restoration would prove impractical or would render the work essentially false. 4. Security - The condition or security of the artwork cannot be reasonably guaranteed or the City of Palm Desert cannot properly care for or store the artwork. 5. Site Alteration - In the case of site-specific artwork, the artwork has become inappropriate, is no longer accessible to the public, it is unsafe, or it is due to be destroyed and would severely alter its relationship to the site. Item 1D-5Page 13 City of Palm Desert’s Public Art Deaccessioning Policy 07/13/2023 [Type here] 6. Excessive Maintenance - The artwork requires excessive or unreasonable maintenance. 7. Loss of Site – The current site is no longer available and no suitable alternate site for the artwork is available. 8. Aesthetic Value - The artwork is of poor quality or is judged to have little aesthetic and/or historical or cultural value. 9. Failure to Comply - If the approved terms of the contract pursuant to which the artwork was installed have not been fulfilled. 10. Inauthentic - The artwork is a forgery or in violation of existing copyright laws. 11. Theft – The artwork has been stolen. Any stolen artwork will be documented through an official police report and a report prepared by the entity that owns or is responsible for the site of loss. SEQUENCE OF ACTION / PROCEDURES 1. Deaccession requests may be submitted by a neighborhood organization, City department, independent City board or commission, or a City Council member. The Cultural Arts Committee will review each preliminary request. City staff will work with the applicant to bring a full proposal to the Cultural Arts Committee. 2. Staff will provide the applicant with a Deaccessioning Form that will serve as the applicant’s formal request for consideration by the Cultural Arts Committee. 3. Staff (with assistance from the property owner, if applicable) will make reasonable effort to notify and consult with any living artist(s) whose work is being considered for deaccession as to the best procedure for artwork removal. The City will allow the artist(s) 30 days to respond. 4. If the artist(s) is/are deceased, the City will make reasonable efforts to contact artist(s) estate. 5. After an attempt to contact the artist(s) is made, staff will consult with the City Attorney on how to proceed with the deaccessioning. 6. Once the request is reviewed by the City Attorney, the applicant will complete and return the Deaccessioning Form. 7. City staff will use the information from the Deaccessioning Form to complete a staff report addressing the proposed removal of the artwork. The staff report will provide all available relevant information and materials to the Cultural Arts Committee, including, but not limited to: a. Artist, Title, and Location of artwork. b. Name of property owner and contact information. c. Property owner at the time of commission or installation. d. Year commissioned/purchased, original cost of artwork, and applicable Art in Public Places (AIPP) fee. e. Dimensions and removal/re-installation instructions. f. Appraisal of the artwork provided by a qualified art appraiser and current condition of artwork. If appropriate, current fair market value of the artwork. g. Detailed reason for deaccessioning/relocating artwork. h. Proposed deaccession method or new location for artwork (relocation, sale, donation, demolition, etc.). Item 1D-6Page 14 City of Palm Desert’s Public Art Deaccessioning Policy 07/13/2023 [Type here] i. Maintenance evaluation. j. Any relevant images. 8. The staff report will then be placed on the Cultural Arts Committee agenda at a regularly scheduled public meeting, where it will be reviewed and voted on. 9. If the Cultural Arts Committee approves the deaccession, City staff will bring the staff report before the City Council for review and final action. 10. If deaccession is approved by the City Council, all documents will be updated to reflect the deaccessioning of the artwork. Staff will review property records from the County Recorder’s Office and if an artwork covenant is recorded against the property, the City will cause a release covenant to be filed. 11. The deaccessioning process should be documented in both written and visual form. 12. If an artwork is sold, proceeds should be deposited into the Art in Public Places fund. 13. The City’s Risk Manager must be notified so that the work can be removed from the City’s insurance policy. DEACCESSIONING METHOD OPTIONS 1. If appropriate, reasonable efforts will be made to move the work to a new location within the City. If the artwork was designed for a specific site, City will consider the artist’s intent when deciding where to relocate the artwork. 2. The artist(s) will be given the first option to purchase or exchange the artwork. If the artist(s) decides to purchase the work, they will be responsible for the cost of the removal of the artwork from the current site. If the artist(s) is/are deceased, the legal heir(s) will have first rights of purchase. The artist(s) can purchase the artwork at fair market value according to the appraisals obtained by a qualified appraiser. 3. Put the work in storage until a new, appropriate location can be found. 4. Donate work to a school, an educational or non-profit organization. 5. Dispose of work in an appropriate manner. PROVISIONS FOR EMERGENCY REMOVAL In the event that the structural integrity or condition of an artwork is such that, in the opinion of the Public Art staff, the artwork presents an imminent threat to public safety, the City Manager may authorize its immediate removal without Cultural Arts Committee action or the artist’s consent and have the work placed in temporary storage. The artist and the Cultural Arts Committee will be notified of this action within 30 days. The Committee will then consider options for disposition: repair, reinstallation, maintenance or deaccessioning. If the artwork cannot be removed without being altered, modified, or destroyed, and if the Artist’s Agreement with the City and County has not waived his/her rights under the California Art Preservation Act and the Visual Artists Rights Act, City staff will attempt to gain such written permission before proceeding. In the event that this cannot be accomplished before action is required in order to protect the public health and safety, the City Manager shall proceed with the advice of the City Attorney. Item 1D-7Page 15 City of Palm Desert’s Public Art Deaccessioning Policy 07/13/2023 [Type here] COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE POLICIES AND REGULATIONS Deaccession and removal of artwork will be done in a manner that complies with all other applicable city, state, and federal procedures, policies and regulations. For example, deaccession and removal actions must comply with applicable procedures and laws relating to the disposition of city property and with laws protecting artists’ rights.

This magnificent glass sculpture, which has graced the Palm Desert Community Center’s lobby since its dedication on September 19, 1993, has become a beloved symbol of the community's artistic spirit. The decision to donate “Recreation Liberates” stems from the center's upcoming renovations scheduled to commence in January 2024. The new design plan, while exciting and promising, does not accommodate the sculpture due to its considerable size and specific aesthetic. Given the need for substantial reconstruction of the sculpture's housing upon removal, it has been determined that relocating or selling the artwork is not a cost -effective option. Consequently, the most practical path forward is to donate the piece to an organization that could give the beloved artwork a new home. While the artwork itself would be given as a donation, the recipient would be responsible for all costs associated with the removal, transport, and re-installation of the artwork. The City invites interested parties who appreciate the historical significance and artistic value of "Recreation Liberates" to contact Erica Powell at the City by calling (760) 776-6346 for inquiries or further information. The community and art enthusiasts have cherished “Recreation Liberates” for nearly three decades, and its legacy will live on in the hearts of those who have admired it over the years. # # # Page 37 [This page has intentionally been left blank.] Page 38 STAFF REPORT CITY OF PALM DESERT CULTURAL ARTS COMMITTEE MEETING DATE: November 8, 2023 SUBMITTED BY: Erica Powell, Management Analyst REQUEST: APPROVE LIGHTING SCHEDULE FOR SUNBURST BY DONALD GIALANELLA ______________________________________________________________________ Recommendation Approve proposed outdoor LED colored lighting schedule for Sunburst by Donald Gialanella. Background Upon selection of artist Donald Gialanella’s sculpture, Sunburst, as a finalist for installation in the roundabout at San Pablo Avenue and San Gorgonio Way, the Art in Public Places Commission (now the Cultural Arts Committee) suggested that the lighting installed with the sculpture should have the ability to alternate colors, possibly to reflect commemorative holidays and events within the city. The project is currently in the installation phase and is due to be completed by November 10, 2023. The lighting system that will illuminate the sculpture at night allows for a versatile color lighting schedule. Eight (8) color LED lights will be installed according to the engineered plans. The proposed color lighting schedule is designed to enhance the sculpture, celebrate local events and holidays, and provide an engaging and ever-changing visual experience for both residents and visitors. The proposed monthly lighting schedule is as follows: Month Color January Blue February Red March Green April Purple May Yellow June Red/White/Blue July Red/White/Blue August Red/Orange September Orange October Pink November Orange December White Page 39 November 8, 2023 – Staff Report Approve Color Lighting Schedule for Sunburst Page 2 of 2 Fiscal Analysis There is no fiscal impact to the Public Art budget associated with this request.

I hope to expand and mobilize my work, as the freedom of travel is important to me, and I hope to one day become an international artist. I am also working on a series of oil paintings which I plan to showcase in New York. As a side experiment, I’m creating a sculpture series - turning mannequins into aliens! I was born and raised in Olney, Maryland and graduated with a BFA in Painting and Printmaking from VCU in Richmond, VA. I immediately migrated over to California in 2014 and lived in Los Angeles for a majority of those years until moving to Palm Desert, where I currently reside.

I am very excited to apply for this public project. I have been painting over 15 years, and have began mural painting in the summer of 2022, after moving to Palm Desert. This is my dream, and I would love for my artwork to reach the public eye. I have enjoyed all the connections I have made with the people in this area since moving here. If selected, I would develop the design with a team of locals. I have volunteered for The Galen Center, as well as Old Town Artisan Studios, and will reach out to them to create a team of people willing to help with the project. I have also found the app NextDoor to be a major help in connecting with the community, as this is my way of finding work. I will also use the directory of the Public Works Staff to conduct phone interviews to draw upon the stories and inspiration involving the hurricane. I will do anything and everything I can think of, and have fun doing it! Thank you.

Providing a variety of ways to engage diverse groups and people of all backgrounds will allow for a breadth of ideas. Community members will be encouraged to share their ideas in writing as well as sketches if they feel comfortable drawing. A brief, one-page questionnaire in English and Spanish will have a multitude of open- ended questions to guide their creative thinking. I will ask for email addresses and/ or phone numbers to facilitate communication well in advance of any on-site painting. I will be trying to identify a common theme from the community as well as diverse perspectives and viewpoints which will allow me to weave imagery together in a way that can be understood collectively but interpreted individually.
