TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Prevailing wage rates will increase consistent with general prevailing wage determinations made by the California Department of Industrial Relations.
All field services will be charged portal to portal with the following minimum charges:
1. The client will be invoiced only for the hours actually worked in 4- and 8-hour increments.
2. A 2-hour show-up charge will be applied to any service canceled the same day of service.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Celina Jimenez, Grants Manager
SUBJECT: Approve an Art in Public Places Proposal for a City of Coachella Art Mural at Acrisure Arena in the Amount of $10,000
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council considers approving and awarding a grant to Flat Black Art Supply in the amount of $10,000 from the City of Coachella’s Art in Public Places Program to install a mural at Acrisure Arena as part of the Nine Desert Cities wall art initiative that will be displayed on the Iceplex for each city. The City of Coachella Cultural and Arts Commission reviewed and approved this item for Council’s final approval at its meeting held on September 27, 2022.
BACKGROUND:
On January 1, 2011, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 1034 establishing an Art in Public Places Program and implementing a new development impact fee for certain new construction, remodeling and reconstruction of public art installations. The purpose of the Art in Public Places ordinance is to develop and maintain a visual arts program for the residents and visitors of Coachella, to add to the economic vitality of the community, and to enhance the environment and unique character of Coachella by providing for the acquisition and maintenance of quality works of public art.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The submitted proposal is a painted mural project as part of the #TheDesertNine art initiative at Acrisure Arena where all nine desert cities will each have a mural representing their city. The mural size will be 10-foot wide by 20-foot in height.

SUBJECT: Approve an Art in Public Places Proposal for a City of Coachella 75th Anniversary Mural by Michelle Guerrero in the Amount of $16,000 STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council consider approving and awarding a grant to Michelle Guerrero in the amount of $16,000 from the City of Coachella’s Art in Public Places Program to install a mural on the Anaya’s Towing building on the corner of Fifth Street and Grapefruit Boulevard. The Cultural and Arts Commission reviewed and approved this item for Council’s final approval at its meeting held on September 27, 2022.
BACKGROUND:
On January 1, 2011, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 1034 establishing an Art in Public Places Program and implementing a new development impact fee for certain new construction, remodeling and reconstruction of public art installations. The purpose of the Art in Public Places ordinance is to develop and maintain a visual arts program for the residents and visitors of Coachella, to add to the economic vitality of the community, and to enhance the environment and unique character of Coachella by providing for the acquisition and maintenance of quality works of public art.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The submitted proposal is a painted mural project approximately 40 feet in length celebrating the City of Coachella’s 75th anniversary featuring MrBBaby’s (Michelle Guerrero) signature character “Chucho”, who is a colorful furry piñata. The brief history of the piñata is that they originated in China when paper figures were filled with seeds and broken as a way to bring good luck for the coming harvest season. In Mexico, the Aztecs honored the birthday of the solar god Huitzilopochtli in mid-December by decorating a pot with feathers to represent the god. In the ritual, the pot was broken and the fruits of the season and other edibles were shared. Life was meant to grow out of destruction—this message has been a driving force behind MrBBaby’s work and has defined Chucho, who is a symbol of hope, resilience and mental health awareness as Chucho is always looking at the brighter side of things, especially the negative ones.

SUBJECT: Approve an Art in Public Places Program Proposal to Restore the Shady Lane Murals by Culturas Music and Arts in the Amount of $13,000 STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council approve the Cultural and Arts Commission recommendation awarding a sponsorship grant to Culturas Music and Arts in the amount of $13,000 from the City of Coachella’s Art in Public Places Program to restore the art mural walls along Shady Lane between Bagdad Street and Avenue 52. This item was previously approved by the Cultural and Arts Commission at its meeting held on September 21, 2021 with the condition that Culturas Music and Arts brought back the rendering for the blank space available on the Shady Lane Mural wall. Culturas Music and Arts brought back the rendering and the Cultural and Arts Commission recommended this item for Council’s final approval at its meeting held on September 27, 2022.
BACKGROUND:
On January 1, 2011, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 1034 establishing an Art in Public Places Program and implementing a new development impact fee for certain new construction, remodeling and reconstruction of public art installations. The purpose of the Art in Public Places ordinance is to develop and maintain a visual arts program for the residents and visitors of Coachella, to add to the economic vitality of the community, and to enhance the environment and unique character of Coachella by providing for the acquisition and maintenance of quality works of public art.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The submitted proposal is to restore the existing art murals along Shady Lane between Bagdad Street and Avenue 52. Last November marked the tenth anniversary of the installation of the murals. Each mural that needs to be repainted is 50’ x 6’ in size and Culturas Music and Arts intends to clean and reseal them with anti-graffiti sealer. It is the intention of Culturas Music and Arts to have the original artists work on restoring their respective murals, if they are available— otherwise, other local artists will be sought. The original murals were painted using Nova Color Paint, which is the best paint product in the industry to use on outdoor murals. One mural will be repainted and it is the “low rider” mural, which will be painted by an artist named Alvarez Ink (sample works below)
Item 33.
According to Culturas Music and Arts, the Shady Lane Murals are the oldest Chicano public art murals in the State of California. The Shady Lane Murals are a beloved public art landmark for the community because they depict the community’s history and heritage., which might explain why it has escaped all the graffiti and tagging it used to get for nearly a decade.

The Tribe are descendants of the Chemehuevi people, a peaceful and nomadic Tribe whose territory once covered parts of California, Utah, Arizona, and Southern Nevada.

Today, the Tribe has established business enterprises and governmental operations on its sovereign lands, with Spotlight 29 Casino and the Tribal Government Offices near the city of Coachella, and Tortoise Rock Casino near the town of Twenty-nine Palms. The Tribe provides employment to over 700 people, contributes to the community through charitable contributions, and supports the Tribe’s government operations and programs.
