Item #27 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For the Council Meeting of August 6, 2002 TO: Honorable Mayor & City Council FROM: Ron Kenny, Director of Parks, Recreation & Family Services SUBJECT: City Logo for the Community Center DATE: July 22, 2002 BACKGROUND: At the Recreation and Parks Commission meeting of October 17, 2001 the Commission voted to recommend to the City council that the City's Logo be painted on the high vertical wall above the reception area in the Community Center. Since that meeting, the Commission has on several occasions discussed various facets of the project. The Logo would be six foot in diameter and also include the words "Colton Community Center" on top with the word "Welcome" on the bottom of the logo. The lettering is to be in blue. Staff was directed to seek out potential artists. It was recommended that the project be funded from proceeds received through the sale of individual donation tiles provided by the Friends of the Community Center. The Friends Committee has approved the logo project. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Staff began the process by advertising the project and subsequently was contacted by five artists. The artists were each interviewed and samples of their work were reviewed. Based on City policy, each artist was asked to quote a fee and the selected artist would be required to sign the City's General Services Contract, which included proof of insurance, bond, etc. The only proposal returned was by Rosemary Esparza, a part-time employee with the Parks, Recreation and Family Services Department. As a City employee, Ms. Esparza may do contract work and would be covered for liability and worker's compensation under the City's insurance umbrella. She would not need to sign a lengthy City General Services Contract, but rather a much shorter Professional Services Contract. A copy of her proposal and proposed artwork are attached. Ms. Esparza will provide a short Power Point presentation during the City Council meeting. The City Attorney has reviewed the attached contract. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Ms. Esparza would contract with the City to provide the proposed artwork for $2,260 with funding coming from the Friends of the Community Center account. The City would provide a power lift or scaffolding and any unforeseen costs for the project not to exceed $1,500. The power lift or scaffolding would be funded from the City's Building Maintenance Account No. 100-6200-6200-2420, (Equipment Lease).
