I-405 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT - AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ TRANSPORTATION
SERVICES DIVISION
PRESENTED BY: RAJA SETHURAMAN, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
CONTACT INFORMATION: JENNIFER ROSALES, TRANSPORTATION SERVICES MANAGER, (714) 754-5343
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Approve Amendment No. 3 to Cooperative Agreement No. C-5-3612 between the City of Costa Mesa and the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to increase OCTA’smaximum obligation to the City by $50,000 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $644,594.
2. Authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the amendment, in a form approved by the City Attorney, and future amendments to the agreement within City Council authorized limits.
3. Approve revenue and expense appropriations in the amount of $50,000 respectively, for the I-405 Improvement Project, per Amendment No. 3 to the Cooperative Agreement C-5-3612 between the City of Costa Mesa and OCTA.
4. Approve proposed Amendment No. 3 (Attachment 1) to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Interwest Consulting Group Inc., 15140 Transistor Lane, Huntington Beach, CA 92649, increasing the maximum compensation by $50,000 for construction support services, on an as- needed basis, for the I-405 Improvement Project, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $400,000.
5. Authorize the City Manager and the City Clerk to execute the amendment and future authorized amendments to the Professional Services Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), in cooperation with the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), is implementing improvements to the I-405 Freeway between the SR-73 and I-605 Freeways. The project includes the addition of one (1) mixed-flow lane and one (1) express lane and the conversion of the existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane to
90 File #: 22-855 Meeting Date: 9/20/2022
an express lane.
In the City of Costa Mesa, major elements of the project include the direct connector ramps between the SR-73 and I-405 Freeways; reconstruction of the Fairview Bridge; realignment of the southbound I-405 onramp from Harbor Boulevard; and sound walls. The significant component of the project in Costa Mesa is the re-design and reconstruction of the Fairview Road/I-405 Interchange and approaches to Fairview Road. There will be multiple traffic detour plans for various phases of the project.
Pursuant to Cooperative Agreement No. C-5-3612 between the City and OCTA, as amended, OCTA will implement the project and ensure it meets State and City requirements and will reimburse the City for all services and costs incurred to complete the project, up to $594,400. The Original Cooperative Agreement is provided in Attachment 3. The reimbursement to the City includes costs for review and approval of plans, specifications, reports, and oversight of construction inspection services for City facilities, review and acceptance of the transportation management plan, traffic engineering, and police services during design and construction of the project. If the City were to incur additional costs, subsequent amendments could be executed between OCTA and the City to address them. The City of Costa Mesa agreed to provide staff support and retain consultant services as needed to review the project plans and assist during the construction phase.
ANALYSIS:
The construction duration of the I-405 Improvement Project has extended longer than anticipated; therefore, an amendment to the Cooperative Agreement No. C-5-3612 between the City and OCTA is needed for additional costs that would be incurred by the City. OCTA approved an additional $50,000 to Cooperative Agreement C-5-3612 between the City of Costa Mesa and OCTA to increase the reimbursement to the City by $50,000 for staff and consultant support services for a total up to $644,594. OCTA is processing the amendment to increase OCTA’smaximum obligation to the City by $50,000. Staff requests approval of Amendment No. 3 to Cooperative Agreement No. C-5-3612 and approval of a budget adjustment recognizing the additional $50,000 revenue and appropriating these funds to the I-405 Improvement Project.
Interwest Consulting Group, Inc. is currently providing construction support services for the I-405 Improvement Project. Staff anticipates expending the previously encumbered amounts by September 2022. Staff requests approval of Amendment No. 3 to the Professional Services Agreement with Interwest increasing the maximum compensation by $50,000 for the I-405 project.
ALTERNATIVES:
One alternative would be to not approve and recognize the revenue from Amendment No. 3.
However, this would result in staff’s inability to invoice and receive funds from OCTA for reimbursement of staff time and consultant services for work associated with the I-405 Improvement Project.
Another alternative would be to not approve the proposed amendment to the Interwest Professional Services Agreement. However, this would result in diverting City staff resources from other critical City projects to the I-405 project. Staff does not recommend this alternative.

FISCAL REVIEW:

DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION PRESENTED BY: RAJA SETHURAMAN, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
CONTACT INFORMATION: SEUNG YANG, P.E., CITY ENGINEER, (714) 754-5633 RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council reject all bids for the West 19th Street Bicycle Improvements and Striping Project, City Project No. 22-06, and direct staff to modify the scope of the project and re- advertise.
BACKGROUND:
West 19th Street is a major thoroughfare in the Westside neighborhood and is classified as a primary arterial in the Orange County Transportation Authority’s (OCTA’s) 2022 Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH).
West 19th Street bicycle facility improvements is an approved Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project. It provides enhanced bicycle facility which encourages bicycling for both commuting and recreational purposes per the City’s approved Active Transportation Plan (ATP).
The bicycle facility improvements project along West 19th Street between Sundance Drive and Park Avenue were designed to include slurry seal improvements, new concrete parkway bulb-outs at the intersections of Placentia Avenue and at Wallace Avenue, new pavement striping, and markings consisting of Class II bicycle facilities with green thermoplastic conflict zones, and new crosswalks.
Public Works staff proceeded in developing the working plans, specifications, details, and estimate for this project and advertised on July 20, 2022. The public bid opening was held on August 23, 2022, when all submitted bids were announced and published.
ANALYSIS:
On August 23, 2022, staff received four (4) bids for this project. The bid analysis is shown as Attachment 1.
Staff has reviewed all bids and has determined that they significantly exceed the current allotted budget for this project. The Engineer’sestimate was $470,000. Therefore, staff requests that the City Council reject all bids and direct staff to modify the scope of the project and to re-advertise the
135
File #: 22-862 Meeting Date: 9/20/2022
Council reject all bids and direct staff to modify the scope of the project and to re-advertise the project.
Staff believes that revising the scope and re-advertising may attract more contractors to bid, resulting in bid proposals at competitive prices.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternative would be to reject staff’s recommendation and award to the low bidder, Falkon Construction. Staff has determined that this alternative is not recommended since the current budget does not support the amount required for the lowest bidder.
FISCAL REVIEW:
There is no fiscal impact at this time if all bids are rejected and the project is re-advertised as recommended.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed this agenda report and approves it as to form.
CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:
This item is administrative in nature.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the City Council reject all bids for the West 19th Street Bicycle Improvements and Striping Project, City Project No. 22-06, and direct staff to modify the scope of the project and re- advertise.

TITLE:
RETAINER AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY OF COSTA MESA AND BUCHALTER, A
PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION FOR LEGAL SERVICES
DEPARTMENT: CITY ATTORNEY
PRESENTED BY: KIMBERLY HALL BARLOW, CITY ATTORNEY
CONTACT INFORMATION: KIMBERLY HALL BARLOW, CITY ATTORNEY, (714) 446-1400 RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the Agreements between the City of Costa Mesa and the law firm of Buchalter, a Professional Corporation in connection with the pending lawsuits entitled The Ohio House LLC v.
City of Costa Mesa, United States District Court for the Central District of California, Case No. 8:19-cv-01710-JVS (GJSx) and Insight Psychology and Addiction, Inc. v. City of Costa Mesa, United States District Court for the Central District of California, Case No. 8:20-cv-00504-MEMF- JDE.
2. Authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the Retainer Agreement and future authorized amendments to the Agreements and the City Attorney to take necessary steps to associate Buchalter as co-counsel in the legal matter.
3. Authorize the City Manager to appropriate additional funding amounts, as necessary, to pay legal costs above the amount budgeted for litigation costs in Non-Departmental in the Adopted FY 2022-23 Budget from unassigned fund balance in the General Fund for attorneys’services, if needed, to represent the City in these cases through completion.
BACKGROUND:
The City has been sued multiple times relating to sober living home ordinances for the R1 and multi -family zones. M.C. Sungaila of the Buchalter firm has handled appeals in all of the cases which have been appealed to date. The case The Ohio House v. City of Costa Mesa was tried to a jury in April 2022, with the jury finding in favor of the City. The court entered judgment for the City on September 6, 2022, and an appeal is anticipated. Another case, Insight Psychology and Addiction v. City of Costa Mesa, is pending in the trial court and is being handled by Everett and Dorey. The case is likely to go to trial and the City’sposition in litigation will benefit from involving appellate
140
File #: 22-867 Meeting Date: 9/20/2022
counsel prior to trial.
ANALYSIS:
The many legal challenges to the City’sgroup home ordinances have been vigorously litigated with multiple cases being appealed. Ms. Sungaila successfully defended the appeal in Yellowstone Women’s First Step House, Inc., et al. v. City of Costa Mesa, and has represented the City in connection with all other cases appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Ms. Sungaila provided consulting services to assist Everett and Dorey in the trial of The Ohio House case, which we anticipate will be appealed. Her involvement in the trial preparation and conduct gives her an in depth knowledge of the case and positions her well to handle the appeal. Thus, staff is recommending that the City Council approve retention of Ms. Sungaila and the Buchalter firm to handle any appeal in The Ohio House case.
As the Insight Psychology and Addiction case moves toward trial, we believe it would be beneficial to have Ms. Sungaila work closely with the Everett and Dorey team to put the case in the best position to win and to be prepared for any appeal. Thus, staff is recommending that the City Council approve retention of Ms. Sungaila and the Buchalter firm to work with defense counsel through trial in the Insight Psychology matter.
The fee for Ms. Sungaila is $775 per hour, and for Alexander Carroll is $315 per hour. The City receives a 10% fee reduction if billings are paid within 35 days of invoicing.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could modify the Agreements or choose not to approve the Agreements, or either of them. Alternatively, the City Council could direct staff to solicit proposals from other law firms to join the appeal/defense team.
FISCAL REVIEW:
The proposed retainer agreements reflect competitive hourly rates for legal counsel with the experience and expertise to effectively handle the appeal in The Ohio House case and trial consulting in Insight Psychology. A litigation budget will be prepared to provide the City with a better assessment of the fiscal impact of continuing to litigate these matters. The City Attorney and City staff will provide an update reflecting the proposed budget to the City Council and subsequently track actual billings and expenditures. In addition, the FY 2022-23 Budget includes funds adequate to cover the estimated litigation budgets.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed this report and approved it as to form.

COSTA MESA TENNIS CENTER: SCOPE OF SERVICES
DEPARTMENT: PARKS & COMMUNITY SERVICES
PRESENTED BY: JASON MINTER, PARKS & COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR CONTACT INFORMATION: JASON MINTER, PARKS & COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR, (714) 754 - 5009
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council:
1. Provide Direction on the proposed Scope of Services and release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Operation of the Costa Mesa Tennis Center (Attachment 1).
2. Approve an extension to the agreement with Top Seed Tennis Academy for the interim operation of the Costa Mesa Tennis Center with a term of November 1 through December 31, 2022 (Attachment 2).
BACKGROUND:
The Costa Mesa Tennis Center (CMTC) is a city-owned public facility located at TeWinkle Park, 880 Junipero Drive. The two-acre tennis center includes twelve (12) lighted courts, a pro shop, a courtyard, 55 space parking lot, and landscaped walkways. The Tennis Center is open to the public from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Sundays. This city-owned facility is operated by a private entity through an operating agreement.
For the past 25 years the tennis center was operated by Hank Lloyd (Hank Lloyd Tennis), who retired on February 28, 2022, after 24 years of service to the Costa Mesa tennis community. On March 1, 2022, City Council voted to approve an interim Tennis Center operator while staff conducted outreach specific to the scope of services for developing an RFP for the operation of the center.
ANALYSIS:
The Costa Mesa Tennis Center is a vital amenity for the Costa Mesa Community. The 12 courts at the CMTC are the only city owned tennis courts in Costa Mesa. For that reason, the CMTC is the primary location for all public court time, as well as lessons, tournaments, and programs. Therefore, it is critical that the CMTC meet the needs of the tennis community by providing quality facilities, a
146
File #: 22-750 Meeting Date: 9/20/2022
variety of program opportunities, and experienced staff.
Community Outreach
In an effort to ensure that the CMTC is successful in meeting the needs of the community, staff conducted community outreach requesting feedback on facility improvements and program enhancements. This outreach included the following:
· Community meetings
o Saturday, March 12, 2022
o Wednesday, March 16, 2022
· Online surveys - 205 received (Attachment 3)
· Community discussion
o Parks Arts and Community Services Commission - March 24, 2022 In additional to community input, staff complete an analysis of neighboring cities that operate Tennis Centers similar to the Costa Mesa Tennis Center, including Fountain Valley, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, and Newport Beach, as well as other southern California Cities including Burbank, Fremont, Los Angeles, and Fremont.
The proposed scope of services includes the feedback received from the community meetings, the online survey results, the discussion held at the Parks, Arts and Community Services Commission meetings, and the research and outreach performed by staff.
Scope of Services
The City is seeking a public/private partnership for the operation of the Costa Mesa Tennis Center.
The City is seeking an Operator that will be responsible for the coordination and management of the public use of the tennis courts. It will be the responsibility of the Operator to provide a variety of classes, programs, tournaments, community events, and competitions for patrons, including year- round competitive and social programs that are available to the public. Competitive programs should be recognized by the respective professional associations (USTA and USAPA). The Operator will also be expected to work with the local school district and leagues for league play and tournaments.
With these elements in mind, and at the direction of the City Council, staff prepared a draft scope of services and background (Attachment 1).
The following components are included in the attached Scope of Services:
· The City is seeking an operator with an innovative team that will market, advertise and expand services at the Tennis Center, enhancing its prominence as a premiere tennis destination in Orange County.
· Establishment of operating hours that maximize the public’s ability to have access to the facility and programs.

· Develop and provide a website with an online reservation system for easy public access and transparency for court utilization.
· Provide Scholarship and Fee assistance programs for low-income families. · Outreach to local non-profit organizations to provide equitable opportunities for all youth for both instruction and play.
· Priority access for Costa Mesa residents and organizations. · Potential establishment of pickleball programming, including temporary and/or permanent court systems that can be reserved by the community for either play, lessons, and/or tournaments.
· Transparent financial accountability and reporting, including an annual report, and a certified financial audit.
· Proposed 20% of all gross monthly revenue generated by the facility, with 15% (or $3,500 per month, whichever is greater) going to the General Fund and 5% deposited into a capital fund specific for maintenance of the Costa Mesa Tennis Center.
The initial proposed term is for five (5) years, with an option for an additional five (5) year extension.
This term is subject to negotiation with the proposers based on the strength of the proposal and the level of capital investment in the Center.
The current interim agreement for operation of the Costa Mesa Tennis Center is with the Top Seed Tennis Academy through an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with the previous operator under the same terms and conditions of previous operator’sagreement. The current terms include 10% of gross revenue from court use and 5% of gross revenue from the pro-shop (or $1,000, whichever is greater). With pro-shop sales having declined over time, staff is recommending combining all revenue. Any new agreements would include additional accountability for staff to monitor the operator’sperformance to allow for better analysis of operations and profitability, while investing a portion of the revenue from the facility into a capital fund specific to the Tennis Center.
Request for Proposals
The Request for Proposals (RFP process will include a mandatory pre-proposal meeting to be held at the Costa Mesa Tennis Center. All groups interested in submitting proposals will be required to have a representative in attendance at the meeting. Questions will be answered during this meeting or in written form to all parties in attendance. There will be a time period for additional questions with a cutoff date. Any questions/responses will be communicated to all parties at least a week prior to the proposal deadline.
A committee comprised of staff from various City departments such as the City Manager's Office, Finance, Public Works, and Parks and Community Services will review and evaluate all proposals and will make a selection determined by the evaluation of qualitative factors, which include:
· Qualifications of the Proposer/Organization and Key Personnel · Prior experience operating a tennis facility
148
File #: 22-750 Meeting Date: 9/20/2022
· Approach to providing the requested scope of services · Innovative and/or creative approaches to providing services to the community that include additional efficiencies and/or increased performance capabilities Upon completion of this process, staff will prepare a recommendation to bring forward to City Council for award of contract. Should the City Council approve the proposed scope of services, the RFP will be released according to the proposed schedule for the RFP as follows:
DATE DESCRIPTION

September 28, 2022 Mandatory Pre-Proposal Meeting at Costa Mesa Tennis Center
October 21, 2022 Proposals due
October 24-27, 2022 Interviews with qualifying proposal agencies November 2022 Award of agreement
Note: Dates are subject to change and dependent upon the release of the RFP.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may choose to modify the proposed scope of services to meet desired outcomes.
Another alternative that the Council may consider is rejecting staff’sproposed scope of services and reject the proposed 2-month extension for the temporary operator and direct staff to explore assuming full responsibility for the operation of the Tennis Center. This option would include contracting with various instructors to ensure programming opportunities are available for the community, with City staff overseeing the operations and programming, similar to other City recreational facilities (e.g. Downtown Aquatic Center and Downtown Recreation Center). This alternative would require additional funding for full-time and part-time staff, as well as increased contract costs for facility maintenance and janitorial services. Estimated cost for the full operation and maintenance of the Tennis Center are $280,000 per fiscal year plus additional startup costs. A budget adjustment to the Parks and Community Services Department during the current fiscal year would be required to assume operations in-house.
FISCAL REVIEW:
At this time, there is no fiscal impact in approving the proposed scope of services to proceed with the RFP process. If the proposed scope of the RFP is approved, staff anticipate additional revenue to the General Fund, as well as additional revenue to the Capital Fund for the Tennis Center based on the terms approved in the new operator’s agreement.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the report, and prepared the two-month extension for the temporary and approved as to form.

BACKGROUND:
The Costa Mesa Tennis Center (CMTC) is a city-owned public facility located at TeWinkle Park, 880 Junipero Drive. The two-acre tennis center includes twelve (12) lighted courts, a pro shop, a courtyard, 55 space parking lot, and landscaped walkways.

For the past 25 years the tennis center was operated by Hank Lloyd (Hank Lloyd Tennis), who retired on February 28, 2022, after 24 years of service to the Costa Mesa tennis community. On March 1, 2022, City Council voted to approve an interim Tennis Center operator while staff conducted outreach specific to the scope of services for developing an RFP for the operation of the center.
ANALYSIS:
The Costa Mesa Tennis Center is a vital amenity for the Costa Mesa Community. The 12 courts at the CMTC are the only city owned tennis courts in Costa Mesa. For that reason, the CMTC is the primary location for all public court time, as well as lessons, tournaments, and programs. Therefore, it is critical that the CMTC meet the needs of the tennis community by providing quality facilities, a

The proposed scope of services includes the feedback received from the community meetings, the online survey results, the discussion held at the Parks, Arts and Community Services Commission meetings, and the research and outreach performed by staff.

Q12
Please share you background and experience or knowledge of the arts (visual and performing), arts education, arts administration and community outreach/engagement:
I've always been drawn to art. Got in trouble as a kid. I've taken visual arts and typography classes at Baker College in Flint and U of M Flint. I've been screen printing for decades and have taught screen printing, silicone mold making, woodworking, and welding. I've been a maker working out of Urban Workshop since 2015. I mostly make beer stuff because hey I like beer - and have worked with several breweries in OC and beyond to develop designs and create tap handles and other goods. I have learned a ton while on the Cultural Arts Committee - organizing and running an event, fundraising, advertising.
Q13
Why are you applying to be an Arts Commissioner for the city of Costa Mesa? Hard to let go, eh? I enjoy participating in the community.
Q14
Please share you vision for the arts in Costa Mesa:
Artists getting paid by the City of the Arts is #1. Fun stuff to look at is #2.
Q15
Please share your experience in producing and or participating in arts and multicultural programming:
Most of my programming experience came from the Cultural Arts Committee. I'd often get assigned to different tasks for each project/event. A lot of it is brainstorming and thinking through the event, identifying options to investigate, and putting your action plan to work. With the Action Arts in the Park and ArtVenture events, we were pioneering some new territory at the time, so there was more discovery and guesswork in there. It's a bit easier with established events.

Q3
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission. A resume (optional) may be attached.
My name is Justin Fong and I am interested in serving on the Arts Commission. I graduated from UCSD, majoring in International Studies and minoring in Photography, and received my JD/MBA from Washington University in St. Louis. I am currently the General Counsel of a mortgage lender and have experience in legal matters including real estate, commercial litigation, employment, and intellectual property. I am also a Board of Director for the Orange County Asian American Bar Association. I believe that based on my background in law, business, and community service, I have the necessary hard skills to serve on the Committee and help execute the necessary planning to help our community thrive.
Much more importantly though, I have a strong affinity for the arts and community service. During my college years I spent much time in the arts, as I spent my first summers working as a Getty Intern and helped with my local art institute. Additionally, I served on the Arts Committee this past year before it was disolved.

Q4
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? If chosen to be a member of the committee, my goal would be to help supplement the great work the committee has already done.
Here are a few ideas I have.
1) Large Outdoor Art Classes
One idea would be to have once a month or a quarter a large scale art event where we have a local artist, or I was thinking of potentially one of the cities muralists (we could make this a condition of being accepted as a muralist), give a short 30min-1hour art lesson outside. I think it would be a great way to introduce people to the arts and also give them a connection to the murals that are painted.
2) Connecting Generations
Events with elder people and young people. I think that there is a disconnect between the generations and it would be great to have events where young people get to learn from older folk. It could be potentially skill-oriented (elders teaching skills like woodworking or knitting).

Arts committee
As a lifelong Costa Mesa resident, current home owner, business owner and a professional recording and touring musician I would love to participate in the cities art committee.
I grew up in the bird streets in Mesa Verde, attended St Johns the Baptist, Adams Elementary, TeWinkle middle school, Estancia High and OCC.
I have always enjoyed supporting artists as I believe art can both define and direct a society. I believe the arts can invoke and inspire positivity and is a way to develop a harmonious positive engaged community.
As a resident and home owner I would like to contribute my time and insight to come up with and support ideas and events that promote local artists in their expression and their businesses. I am a big supporter of Local Business and keep it local.
I myself am an artist, a professional guitar player having performed at venues all around the region including OC Fair, Verizon Amphitheater, Honda Center and Universal Amphitheater to name a few., as well as radio appearances with the likes of the local legendary Poorman ( Jim Trenton), I would love to encourage and support local music events. Especially for young aspiring artists.
My business career is rooted in the surf apparel industry. Raised and growing up amongst the Velcro Valley surf apparel pioneers my lineage includes direct roots to brands like Quiksilver, Gotcha, OP, Billabong, Jacks Surf and Vans to name a few. With this history I enjoy watching the new generation of young apparel designers and apparel artists continue the Costa Mesa legacy. Coming up with events and local ideas to support these artists and brands as well would be great! I love inspiring positivity through the arts. I love seeing how the utility boxes have been painted and I’d like to participate in these types of ideas and decisions. I believe in positivity inspiring art that is unbiased and inclusive to all. Inspiring every type of person.
My music career details can be found on my website: www.GuitarRhonda.com My professional business career details can be found at: www.RhondaV.com More details and letters of recommendations are available upon request.

I’m an avid patron of the Arts. I grew up in Los Angeles next door to my parents 49 seat Equity Waiver Theatre (The MET Theatre) from 1973-1985, and then the Theater moved to East into Hollywood (Santa Monica & Western) where the board of Directors consisted of my father James Gammon, Holly Hunter, Ed Harris, Beth Henley, Martin Kove and John Ashton among others. I worked have worked in every part of a 99seat and below Equity Waiver theatre. I was also an Ovation voter. I took over the Theater in 2000-2005. I built up a theater company to include: writers, directors, actors & actresses, improv and music directors as well as being a part of showcasing what I believed to be up-incoming talent to the likes of String Theory and Musical Acts. We did classical theater such as King Lear as well as new work by many new playwrights. We were also home to the Great Writers Series for many years.
I also love opera, classical music, art museums and especially art openings. My husband has studied Art in College, so we both cherish any conversations that include past & present artistic motivation, artist history & possible meaning and symbolism. We are going to Segerstrom Arts Center tonight to see Hadestown and are looking forward to “To Kill a Mockingbird” in December. I was also actively involved in my childrens elementary school (Victoria Elementary) as a PTA member as well as VP and President. My passion runs deep when it comes to the Arts. I have 1 son at Mater Dei (freshman), 1 son at Ensign and 1 daughter at St. John the Baptist Q4
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? Theatre, Art Shows, Classical Music Conservatory, Jazz, Concert Halls, Museums, Artist Q & A’s, Movies, TV, SCFTA, SCR and living on the Westside of Costa Mesa gives me an opportunity to see young talent all over. #58#58

Q12
Please share you background and experience or knowledge of the arts (visual and performing), arts education, arts administration and community outreach/engagement:
I believe I put that in a previous box. I grew up in a theatre my parents (James & Nancy Gammon) owned and ran in LA from 1973- 1985. In 1990 the theatre came back to life with the likes of Holly Hunter, Ed Harris, Beth Henley to name a small few of the many. We had the Great Writers Series and Radio Plays and many highly successful playwrights including Sam Shepard (whom my Dad was named as his muse in an interview for a magazine). After 10 years and a change over, I took the helm in 2000-2005 adding a theatre company to the mix with my sister Amy Gammon, Paul Koslo, Silas Weir Mitchell & Harris Fishman. After the theatre I started a denim line in LA’s Fahion District called Ranahan Jeans. In 2008 I got married to Jason Mann and moved to Costa Mesa to raise our family.
Q13
Why are you applying to be an Arts Commissioner for the city of Costa Mesa? I feel I have a lot of experience and knowledge around so many forms of Art… and I miss being in that industry and would love to contribute what I can.
Q14
Please share you vision for the arts in Costa Mesa:
I feel the Arts area in Costa Mesa (by Segerstrom Center for the Arts) is a wonderful area already… I would want to work on Art projects and building the community in Westside Costa Mesa… which already houses small artists lofts and galleries. I would love to help bring more life and vibrancy through Art to this area. Many small businesses are here with up and coming designers in all areas (fashion & home design) … also, bring Music, Murals (by local artists) and there is also a Dance Studio as well as Surf/Skate Companies galore that work in the medium of Art, Music, Fashion and the like… it could be overflowing here right now.
Q15
Please share your experience in producing and or participating in arts and multicultural programming:
I was also a PTA member on many committees as well as VP & President. SOY was a great organization that helped us with some multi cultural planning. We also had Heritage Days where kids were involved in bring custom dress, traditional recipes, etc… to school to share their unique Family perspective. I think ALL Art should at some point be referenced and celebrated from ALL Cultures past & present. It’s so fun to see a real Indian Pow Wow or how Art was first painted on Rocks or Statues carved of wood or out of rock. Also variations in music and influences from all over the world that inspire our artists of today. Multi Cultural and Multi-Lingual Art is fascinating and is melding into the most interesting stars of today.
Q16
Please share any other relevant work experience, volunteer work, community activities or memberships:
I’m a mother of 3 athletes. 2 boys, 1 girl. I was always an artist and my Family really only lived in that World. My father did plays in New York for Sam Shepard and was nominated for a Tony Award. I’ve been present for so many amazing artistic moments and experiences that I find prized beyond many things. I’ve worked for many non- profits, been an active fundraiser for our schools and individuals as well as causes. I believe it takes a village to raise a family and life would be so boring without Art. 213

Create an affordable artist housing project for the city.

A learning center at Banning Ranch where we teach our youth the combine studies of art, nature and science.

Q12
Please share you background and experience or knowledge of the arts (visual and performing), arts education, arts administration and community outreach/engagement:
I have been an educator both in the science and art for the city of Los Angeles. In issues with Santa Ana I had to coordinate regularly with city council and media outlets in order to help establish the city as a major arts destination. The rigor of constant community outreach, event planning are a necessity in order to attract new artist to Orange County for the past 25 years.
I was the first to identify the Peterson Museum of Auto History need an arts education program and went about it myself to start the ball rolling with close communications with the LA Times and KCRW in order to garner support for efforts. And make the board see that they had a larger responsibility to the community then displaying expensive automotive.
I have a background in Italian Renaissance art history especially in the area of urban planning and design with coursework at Hard University and the Rhode Island School of Design. Over the years I have become adept at understanding and creating art cities or, the very least arts districts. Its a special skill where one needs to demonstrate to merchants that the arts are a vital tool to attract new commerce to a city and the privileges and hospitality requirements that brings. I come from a family of jazz musicians, screen writers and scenic and set designers.
I have over 60 museum or gallery exhibitions under my belt. Additionally, I have been a regular curator of gallery owner with exhibitions with artist from varied cultures, social and economic demographics. I have participated in a great many panel discussions on the fine arts over the years. I have been a civil rights activist utilizing my skill and knowledge of arts as my main tool to bring about social changes and justices.
I was employed at the Laguna Museum of art for over three years in the exhibition and display department.

Q13
Why are you applying to be an Arts Commissioner for the city of Costa Mesa? In the early 1990's I felt Costa Mesa did a very poor job supporting their arts community and spent the majority of it's time and financial efforts devoted to the development of it's Orange County Performing Arts Center. I felt left out in the cold and neglected as a viaual artist in the city. When I lodged complaints with the city council of Costa Mesa it fell on deaf ears. So, I left and went onto to put all my efforts into the City of Santa Ana. The city was respectful and excited to have me. Years later the owner, of Juxtapose Art Magazine, Greg Escalante had seen my arts activism in Venice Beach, Ca and Santa Ana. He asked me to return to Costa Mesa and help bring fashion, sports and the fine arts into closer proximity of one an other in order to formulate a new vibrant unexpected art scene. Greg wasn't only an arts entrepreneur but, an avid surfer. He was aware of my past arts activism. And, I figured since I am in Costa Mesa I can be one of many people to guide the city in a positive direction for artists so others do not leave the city out of disappointment like I did in the past. It's an opportunity to come full circle, rewrite history and empower other artists with the knowledge I have learned to apply towards grassroots art city community planning and development.
Q14
Please share you vision for the arts in Costa Mesa:
I believe my vision of Costa Mesa falls into three categories. The first is to embrace, enhance and accelerate the overlooked fashion component of the city and spotlight it through the arts and upcoming Olympics the intersection that art can supply to support that. The second is to place Costa Mesa into a leadership role of environmental activism by utilizing the fine arts and Banning Ranch as a catalyst to initiate change or participation and heightened knowledge about our environment through fine art studies. Finally, to increase awareness and branding of Costa Mesa as a key art city within the Pacific Rim and extend invitations to other countries and cultures of the Pacific Rim to share their artistic and cultural customs within the city of Costa Mesa.
Q15
Please share your experience in producing and or participating in arts and multicultural programming:
Participant in Media Arts Santa Ana - (MASA)
Educator and volunteer for the Los Angeles Unified School System working in the "Pregnant Minor Program".
Helping create an underground organization called the "Lavender Mafia" where we smuggled censored or controversial artwork on the back of postage stamps to be enlarged at later date and connect insular art communities to the outside world. Later through our work we were given locations of safe houses and encoded their locations in drawings and paintings. This work helped save lives in both Russia and Iran. You learn a few tricks when you grow up in a Jewish household.
On multiple occasions showcased trans and LGBTQ individuals artwork out of my art gallery.
Exhibited artwork of artists dealing with addictions and gave them a space to tell their personal narratives though art and utilize it as a source of therapy.
Exhibitions with key Native American and Latino artists out of my art gallery like Richard Vargas and political cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz. 218

Currently working on a body of paintings and sculptures that capture Socal and Costa Mesa's skateboarding and surfing scenes.
Q17
How did you hear about this opportunity?
A roundabout way from Richard Stein in conjunction with Pocha Pena and Victor Payan and Lisa Berman. Some additional credit needs to go to Greg Escalante for talking me into coming back to the city. He got me fired up about accentuating Costa Mesa skateboard and surfing scene and have fun with it in the public spotlight if I was ever given the opportunity. You never really think of art as an "OPPORTUNITY" But, rather an obligation to help make changes with god gifted skill sets. Art changes everything and brings out the best qualities in humanity.

SKEITH DEWINE
ARTS ACTIVIST AND PLANNER
INTRODUCTION
I am an arts activist. Most recently advising and developing art live/workspaces for the City of Santa Ana and Orange County. Additionally, I have run a modest art gallery for over 10 years in Orange County. I was also an arts and science educator in the Los Angeles juvenile detention camps for youth at risk for five years. I am one of a small group of founding member of the Santa Ana Arts District and the cities monthly Santa Ana Arts Walk. I am looking to provide
originality and innovation in a strategic way to an arts and culture institution in the areas of marketing and community engagement and positive interactions with the public and branding a city through its unique and diverse collective community.
I come from a family of jazz musicians and song writers. I, myself, have contributed to the development and success of the Orange County Fine Arts Scene for two decades. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to share the
projects I have completed that will be a benefit to your institution’s current needs for an arts supervisor. Some of my art related activism projects for Southern California have been featured on Spectrum News One and the LA Times. I
am a champion for community engagement, all-inclusive arts programming and strengthening the vitality and longevity of a city through varied communications and the fine arts. I look forward to hearing from you and hope to set a mutually
convenient time for a meeting.
Sincerely,
Skeith DeWine

Q1

Q2
Indicate the name of the Committee/Commission you are
interested in serving on:
Arts Commission (Complete Questions 9-17 on the Next
Page)
Q3
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission. A resume (optional) may be attached.
I am an artist, visual art professional, and parent living in Costa Mesa. In my 10+ years working in the visual arts, I have helped private clients build collections, coordinated public art installations, and advocated for youth arts education programs. Additionally, I am a practicing artist have exhibited nationally with reviews online and in print, including The Los Angeles Times.
Q4
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? If our city positions itself as "City of the Arts," then I think we need to do better bolstering the visual arts. I love the Segerstrom Center, and am excited for the re-opening of Orange County Museum of Art— but it should not exist in one center but instead, spread like a rhizome, enriching and reflecting all the neighborhoods within Costa Mesa. There is so much talent here, and not enough opportunity and pathways for support. I have so many ideas to make visual arts more fully integrated our cityscape in meaningful ways. One idea is to commission public art (in partnership with local businesses and public school art programs).
