Enhance neighborhood identity
Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: August 13, 2024
Page: 2 of 3
Invite community participation and interaction with public spaces Encourage economic development
Support the local arts community
As part of the Arts and Culture Commission’s 2023 work plan, three sites were identified for mural projects in public spaces (Walkway of the Stars, Lemon Avenue Parking Lot, and Collier Park). At the January 23, 2024, meeting City Council approved funding for the three projects.
The “Walkway of the Stars” is a pedestrian walkway located between the Allison Avenue municipal parking lot and La Mesa Boulevard that was transformed into an urban park in the downtown village in 2003. The walkway features decorative stone stars with the names of volunteers who have given 10,000 hours or more of service to the City and eight (8) community murals painted in 2003. The current Walkway of the Stars mural project will renovate the space and create eight (8) new murals honoring La Mesa’s tradition of volunteerism.
DISCUSSION:
In accordance with the Policy for Public Arts, the City issued a Call for Artists seeking proposals for artists to create murals in the Walkway of the Stars. A committee comprised of three (3) members of the Arts and Culture Commission, two (2) art professionals (one representing the La Mesa Village Association), and one (1) City of La Mesa employee, reviewed the applications, using a rating system of Very Qualified (3 points) to Unqualified (0 points) to determine an applicant's eligibility. Artists were rated on the following qualifications:
Strong artistic ability displayed in the artist’s portfolio Proven ability to execute projects successfully within provided timelines and budgets
Demonstrated connection between the artist’s past work and the art current opportunity
Artistic merit of body
Strong conceptual skills with innovative and effective approaches demonstrated in other creative projects
Ability to design artwork that is sensitive to social, environmental, economic, historical, and/or other relevant contexts
Effective communication and organizational skills
Work complies with the Arts and Culture Commission artwork guidelines Completeness of application
Connection to the City of La Mesa
Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: August 13, 2024
Page: 3 of 3
The top nine (9) artists were selected for the Walkway of the Stars and the Lemon Avenue Parking Lot mural projects and entered into Professional Services Agreements with the City. Artists were assigned mural spaces based on their ranking during the selection process. At a Special Meeting of the Arts and Culture Commission on August 5, 2024, five (5) of the concept designs received prior to this approval cycle were recommended by the Commission to be forwarded for approval by City Council, after being presented to the Community Services Commission for feedback. The remaining three (3) mural spaces will be submitted for approval by the Arts and Culture Commission and the City Council once they have been received from the artists.
CONCLUSION:
In accordance with the Policy for Public Arts, the Arts and Culture Commission convened for a Special Meeting on August 5, 2024 to review proposed mural designs and recommends that City Council approve the five (5) concept designs presented today.

A. Walkway of the Stars Mural Project Concept Designs (1-5)
Walkway of the Stars
La Mesa’s Tradition of Volunteerism
Below are the artists’ concept designs and descriptions as submitted.
1. “Grow Love”
10’ x 16’ by Anna Pearson.
The concept pays tribute to the community garden as one of the ways to volunteer.
A sneak peek through a lavish blooming garden. The center character is a female figure as Mother Nature caring for a small tree illustrates how from little things, can grow something beautiful. The child as a representation of the continuity of generations learning from a good example, she will also grow and change, like this garden they are planting together. She's distracted by a swarm of butterflies who were attracted by flowers to celebrate life and beauty created by human hands.
2. “Volunteer Coaching”
10’ x 18’ by Don Masse.
Over the years I have seen the hard work and dedication of coaching volunteers through all the seasons. My dad was a coach and I coached La Mesa soccer teams for several years so I chose the theme of coaching to honor these people in our community and as a way to honor my dad. To make the subject more inclusive compared to the one that was previously on site, I used the whistle and clipboard that coaches of many sports use in their work and surrounded it with equipment used by a broader range of sports played in La Mesa. I included pinks and blues in an attempt to move away from gender bias in sport’s representation. The star images represent how coaches shine a positive light on their players and sports community as they volunteer their time and energy.
The wall has elements in front of it and these played a part in how I composed the design.
There is a small rectangular utility box in the lower left and I chose to mirror that shape in the other 3 quarters of the design. There is a tall palm tree on the right side that splits the mural. I responded to this by creating the decorative playing fields border that includes a range of sports that La Mesa children play with the support of our volunteer coaches.
3. “Basket of Abundance and Sharing”
10’ x 18’ by Jonny Alexander.
There are three main elements in this mural: landscape, figures, and a basket. The landscape represents a burdened place and the figures represent an older generation sharing knowledge with a younger generation. The basket represents abundance and sharing. It specifically focuses on the acts of volunteerism through service that can be done for your city, your neighbor, a stranger, or a friend. In the basket are symbols of things such as food, tools, a book, trash pick-up stick, shelter, a tree to plant, or an ADA place card. The sun on the hill represents the jewel.
Note: Feedback from the Arts and Culture Commission to the artist was to allow more space to showcase the items in the basket.
4. “Agents of Change: A Novel Approach”
10’ x 12.5’ by Marc Hedges.
The mural will be set between two existing black steel pillars as bookends. The design features a backdrop burst that enhances the exaggerated horizon line, creating a center focal point. Eight books are featured, each title represents a key insight or behavioral trait that a volunteer or educator might embody. The book titles and graphic embellishments tell the story through short phrase messaging that highlight key aspirations, visual connections, and relatable subject matter. The center book, the keystone, titled “Agents of Change, A Novel Approach” invites the viewers to reflect on these traits and see themselves as part of the overall narrative. The theme captures the essence of “Activism for Education.” It visually represents the values that drive education and volunteerism, encouraging viewers to connect with the artwork and messaging on multiple levels. The artwork style will be contemporary with a postimpressionist twist, featuring a bold color palette and larger-than-life graphics that create a strong visual impact. The overall visual direction is inspired by classic event advertising and broadside posters (i.e. music shows, circus’s, etc.). Typically using one to two colors, they employ bold contrasting colors and simple graphics to deliver powerful messages or event information to passersby.
5. “Litter Pick Up”
10’ x 18’ by Kolten French.
Most volunteer work is not glorious and it is typically hard or dirty work that most do not wish to do. This design is about the beauty that is behind volunteering. You never know who you will meet, what you will see, or where you will go when opening yourself up to help others or the world. I hope this artwork inspires others to make the world and their neighborhoods a better place for everyone.

ORDINANCE NO. 2024-
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA MESA ADDING LA MESA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 10.30, REGULATING THE
RESIDENTIAL STORAGE OF FIREARMS
________________________________________________________________ WHEREAS, having a firearm in the home that is easily accessible to minors, individuals with mental health issues, and convicted felons, increases the dangers of firearm related injuries, deaths, and other crimes, creating a significant public safety concern; WHEREAS, research indicates that suicide rates and unintentional firearm related fatalities are lower in samples of households that store their firearms locked and unloaded; WHEREAS, research indicates that firearms are the second leading cause of death in children under the age of 20;
WHEREAS, data suggested that 54% of owners reported not storing all firearms in a locked location, with a trigger lock, or any other lock; WHEREAS, data suggests that 7% (4.6 million) of U.S. children live in homes where at least one firearm is unsecured;
WHEREAS, 41% of adolescents in gun owning households report having “easy access” to the guns in their homes;
WHEREAS, evidence shows that the presence of a firearm in a home with children substantially increases the risk of suicide and accidental shootings, but that these risks are lower in homes where firearms are secured;
WHEREAS, over the last two decades, the suicide rate of young people has slowly risen and has maintained at a number higher than the California state suicide rate; WHEREAS, suicide attempts are often impulsive, with evidence suggesting that 24% of nearly lethal suicide attempts by individuals 13-24 years old occurred within five minutes of their decision to attempt suicide;
WHEREAS, suicide attempts with a firearm are almost always fatal and studies show that suicide attempts are reduced when access to highly lethal means are reduced; WHEREAS, Analysis of scientific literature on firearm laws concludes that child firearm prevention laws reduce firearm self-injury (including suicides) and unintentional firearm injuries and deaths among children;
WHEREAS, Between 2005 and 2010, around 93% of firearm thefts occurred during property crimes, therefore requiring safe storage of firearms should reduce the number of firearms stolen during household burglaries or other property crimes; WHEREAS, the National Rifle Association (NRA) safety rules instruct gun owners to store guns unloaded so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons;
WHEREAS, the San Diego County Gun Owners Association (SDCGOA) recommends that firearms are stored locked or in a safe, especially around children; WHEREAS, the California Attorney General advocates for secure storage of firearms using safety devices, such as a cable lock, trigger lock or locked containers, such as a lock box or gun safe;
WHEREAS, the International Association of Chiefs of Police advocates for responsible firearms owners to secure firearms from theft and misuse by utilizing safes, trigger locks, and monitored alarm systems;
WHEREAS, the La Mesa City Council finds that this Ordinance addresses risks posed by unsecured firearms in the home and will help prevent accidental shootings, teen suicides, and residential firearm thefts;
WHEREAS, the La Mesa City Council finds and declares that this Ordinance will preserve the peace and protect public health, safety, and general welfare of residents of the City of La Mesa by reducing firearms-related injuries and crime to curb the public health epidemic of firearm violence in San Diego County; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance is supported by many community organizations such as March for Our Lives San Diego Center for Gun Policy.

DEDICATED TO LITTER COLLECTION THROUGHOUT THE CITY
Background
Far too many La Mesa streets, sidewalks, parks, and on-and-off ramps throughout the community are littered. This has become increasingly noticeable to our fellow residents and visitors, and it negatively impacts the overall perception of our community.
One of a city's core duties to its citizens is keeping its streets, sidewalks, and parks clean. A litter and weed-free environment fosters civic pride, higher property values, and an increase in visitors spending their money in our community. It signals that we care about our town, and if we don't tolerate litter, we certainly won't tolerate crime.
Discussion
The hard-working Public Works staff members have too many responsibilities maintaining the City's infrastructure to add regular litter pick-up to their duties. A diligent litter collection effort requires daily focused attention.
I believe it would be both beneficial and fiscally responsible for the City to add a full-time staff position, an employee whose responsibilities would be to pick up litter throughout La Mesa. This employee could be provided with a designated, segmented schedule for the City, equipment, and a vehicle for hauling collected trash to EDCO. If a scheduled section does not need a full day of trash collection, the employee could wack weeds, also prominent on public property throughout the community.
Adding this employee would also provide great public relations for La Mesa while instilling confidence in the community. We could put it on social media and our website. We could wrap or paint the vehicle, most likely a pickup truck, in eye-catching colors with its purpose in bold lettering, such as:
Rubbish, I Say!
Litter Picker Upper!
Garbage Gargoyle
Trash Tackler
Tidy Truck......and so on.
La Mesa's finances are strong; we can afford to provide this basic service. Per an informal conversation I had with the City Manager, this addition to the City's expenses, including salary, benefits, vehicle, and dump fees, would most likely be less than $100,000 annually, representing .1% of our annual $65,000,000 budget
Consideration
We ask our City Council colleagues to join us in providing appropriate direction to staff in this regard. The City should hire a full-time employee to pick up litter throughout La Mesa.
We look forward to your discussion and consideration.

(Subcommittee for City Manager and City Attorney Contract Adjustments) SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE
ADJUSTMENT TO THE RESPECTIVE CONTRACTS FOR THE CITY
MANAGER AND CITY ATTORNEY
BACKGROUND
The City Council appointed an ad hoc subcommittee, consisting of the Mayor and Councilmember Dillard (Subcommittee), to recommend adjustments to the respective contracts of the City Manager and City Attorney. This report, along with its attachments, contains such recommendations and includes the necessary documents for City Council approval and implementation.
DISCUSSION
Salary Adjustment: On July 25, 2024, the Subcommittee met to discuss possible adjustments to the respective contracts for the City Manager and City Attorney. The Subcommittee reviewed the Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) for La Mesa employees and evaluated the San Diego market for similar positions. The La Mesa City Employees Association (LMCEA) and Management and Confidential employees received a 3.5% COLA, effective the first full pay period on or after July 1, 2024.
Accordingly, the Subcommittee recommends that the City Manager and City Attorney receive an equivalent COLA to ensure consistent salary differentials among the groups identified above. Additionally, the Subcommittee recommends a 5% market adjustment for the City Manager and City Attorney to reflect market conditions and their respective exceptional performance.
Leave Bank Conversion Near Retirement: For purposes of assisting financial planning by the City Manager and City Attorney, both of whom are longtime employees with substantial earned (accrued) leave time, the Subcommittee recommends amending their respective contracts to authorize a one-time option to convert up to 50% of such leave time for cash payout prior to retirement (i.e., within 18 months), as specified.
Currently, the City Manager and City Attorney may only convert leave time as referenced at the time of retirement. Additionally, such authorization provides the City a
