The Recreation and Community Services Director stated that the City has received a
request from the Friends of Cypress Cultural Arts to donate a bronze statue. As part of
the request, they are suggesting the statue be placed in the Civic Center complex at the
northeast corner of Orange and Grindlay. The statue under consideration is a dancer
entitled "Flight" and is approximately eight feet tall and weighs approximately 450
pounds. The statue is a limited edition piece and is one of nine.
The Recreation and Community Services Director stated that in July 2003, the City
Council adopted an updated Art in Public Places Policy, which outlines the process for
the City receiving donated art.
She stated that the Design Review Committee met and their analysis deals with many
issues regarding the proposed site. Specifically, the committee is concerned with the
timing of the project as it relates to renovations of the Civic Center and Community
Center, and location at the northeast corner of Orange Avenue and Grindlay Street.
Staff is proposing that a lighted monument sign be placed on the corner as the overall
sign program for the Civic Center. Other sites within the Civic Center and Community
Center have been reviewed. Given these concerns, the committee is recommending
that the City accept the donation of the sculpture and postpone a decision for location
until the plans for the Civic Center and the Community Center improvements are near
completion.
The Recreation and Community Services Director stated that staff has met with FOCCA
to discuss the analysis. FOCCA has indicated that their first choice for location is on
Orange Avenue but they do understand staff's concerns. Staff is looking for direction on
acceptance of the art donation and direction/postponement on determination of a final
location.
