Question:
What is the current balance of the John Parsons Public Art Fund, what are the projected annual revenues for the Fund, and what projects are proposed for allocation to the Fund? Response:
On January 2, 2009, the City Council created the Public Art Commission to advise the Council in all matters pertaining to public art in Redondo Beach. On December 2, 2014, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 3127-14 establishing the John Parsons Public Art Fund, in honor of former Planning Commissioner and City Council Member John Parsons.
The Ordinance defines the situations under which both private developers and the City are required to make contributions to the Fund and how those funds may be spent.
Specifically, the Ordinance requires that public art be included as part of any eligible private development projects, either in the form of an on-site installation, an off-site installation at a site already identified in the City’s Public Art Master Plan, or a contribution to the Fund of 1% of the project’s building valuation.
The total Fund balance is currently $1,111,157.47, of which $790,000 was (originally) appropriated for projects. The Fund’s annual revenue accrual depends entirely on the number and types of construction projects taking place in the city. In FY 2022-23, the Fund received approximately $137,000 in deposits, and in FY 2023-24 the Fund has received approximately $144,000 in deposits to-date. In terms of prospective Fund contributions in FY 2024-25, the South Bay Social District (Galleria) project may be considered. As part of the redevelopment of the site, a $1 million contribution will be made into the Fund specifically for Artesia Boulevard (Resolution No. CC-1901-004, Condition #6, page 23).

Several of the above listed projects are in progress, including the Gate Wave, Skate Park, Public Works Art Mural and the Transit Center Mural.
The remaining projects are yet to be undertaken, or have been reconsidered by the City Council for funding. In particular, on January 9, 2024, the City Council received and discussed a report on the ARTesia project, and also voted to re-allocate Fund monies towards this project.
Below are discussion points from the January 9th City Council meeting as it relates to the allocated funding, as well as the direction that was provided at the March 19, 2024 Council meeting when the City Council discussed the Public Works Yard Mural project. Council’s direction from these meetings have been captured in Decision Package #36 in the Proposed FY 2024-25 Budget, with the exception of the Bus Depot (Transit Center) Project which was considered for reduction from its original $150,000 appropriation to $75,000. The table below outlines the City Council’s combined direction on the Public Art Projects identified for execution in FY 2024-25.

Question:
What would it cost to install decorative ribbons/bows on the parking meters in Riviera Village for the holiday season?
Response:
There are 416 parking meter heads in Riviera Village, of which 210 are located in the triangular parking lot and 206 are on the surrounding streets. The cost for decorative materials varies widely depending on the product selected. Premade 12” nylon bows, see below, are priced at $26 each (~$10,500 for 400 qty) and are structured around a bendable wire frame and include tie on straps. These may last for more than a single season. More rudimentary single use materials could be ordered for less, around $1,500 to $2,000, but would require more preparation time.
Installing the decorations, replacing/repairing them during the season and removing them at the end of the season would require about 150 hours of staff time, at a cost of roughly $19,000. The labor estimate is based on approximately 40 hours to prepare and install, another 40 hours to remove and store/dispose of the materials, and an estimate of about 12 hours per week to maintain them over the six-week holiday season.
