Subcommittee findings included: the original Ryan's bench had been removed and replaced with a rhinestone installation (raising the question of whether that is a new accession); several recently added benches and a mural (Tulansingo and related benches) lack plaques; one artwork (Vision Cube) appears absent while its plaque remains; the Veterans Memorial plaque could not be located; and a naming discrepancy was noted for the Pennington/Sylvester listing on the accession list versus the plaque text.

The subcommittee suggested prioritizing a QR-code rollout that would link users to online descriptions and photographs rather than immediately investing in full plaque replacements for every site. Commissioners discussed estimated costs for new plaques (roughly $800–$1,100 each) plus installation (approximately $300–$400), and noted that available funds were not yet specified. The subcommittee plans to meet again and bring a fleshed-out recommendation to the full commission in March, and staff reminded commissioners that the city budget workshop that could affect funding is scheduled for Thursday at 5:30 p.m.

Commissioners also raised website and accessibility considerations: any QR-code program would require the public-art content to be listed on the city website and include high-quality photographs. Staff said a public-art map is in development and should be ready to share in about a month or two.

No formal funding or installation decisions were made at the Jan. 20 meeting; the subcommittee will return with cost estimates and recommendations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","1/6/2025 - CIVIC ARTS COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING","oneSentenceSummary","A Public Art Plaque subcommittee reported multiple missing or mismatched plaques, proposed adding QR codes and asked staff for budget guidance; estimated plaque replacement costs were discussed but funds were not specified.","taxTitle","Pleasanton , Alameda County, California","taxId",2911,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6332420,"Ad hoc poet laureate subcommittee outlines pilot plan, seeks external funding for teacher stipends",629,1268000,1897000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2307273-2db8f9a10a9caf2e22194163b6b52a8b&start=1268&end=1897","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2307273-2db8f9a10a9caf2e22194163b6b52a8b/thumbnail_1268000.jpg","/articles/6332420/Pleasanton/Alameda-County/California/Ad-hoc-poet-laureate-subcommittee-outlines-pilot-plan-seeks-external-funding-for-teacher-stipends","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6332420-2eb22ffd7f131a3c0c4217b143eb3734/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158770&Signature=AfEpbVHZgadtFVtieJKdiGHpx3ixdeiqHOeKorbj-L5PFXSlC~xNtWgn2X8rntWee7vyC0z44hzlPcZP7Z1CxltdfzgAj6X8c~N3y117IDI3DwoKG8ssaaf8Cng9RxUmEu9f-j0IraFZZy8dbZEhaCy9DtweaFnBffNVLVPMj3jOymVe4qPSmSxWR~~y7XBKyR3w2XBrtIjdxXV8UtjnAf5nrKj5NiUJFxSV4KePR6pkdNmJgHmpVDbefL6xbAhrAWGVHr~RGZFN1~zzRrj7IZaKQMbPkgNk7QbxfAu3k9o4kIpr0Sn5IBKmG~06wQ9Nlcedm1XnaDNrlKUdNUb8HQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of the Civic Arts Commission’s ad hoc poet laureate subcommittee reported on Jan. 20 that they are revising the program to increase youth engagement and strengthen ties to local schools.

The subcommittee said it has met with the assistant superintendent for educational services and the director of secondary education; the district indicated that if teachers serve as site leads they will likely need stipends. The subcommittee is drafting a two-year pilot design that would include stipends for lead high-school teachers and lighter demands on city staff. The group plans to shop a draft budget to local nonprofit partners to secure funding for the pilot rather than rely solely on city budgets. Staff and the library commission liaison said the subcommittee will return to both commissions with a recommendation in March.

Participants noted the prior poet laureate effort had a very small budget (about $1,000) that did not cover staff time or teacher support. The subcommittee said a stipend range of roughly $500 to $1,000 per teacher is under consideration and that a partnership with an established nonprofit (examples discussed include the Urban Word charter model used by other jurisdictions) could provide curriculum and administrative support.

No final program budget, launch date or formal council action was approved at the Jan. 20 meeting; the subcommittee’s timeline calls for meetings through February and a recommendation to the two commissions in March.","The subcommittee reported progress on redesigning a youth poet laureate program, proposed a two-year pilot with teacher stipends, and expects to return recommendations to the Civic Arts and Library commissions in March.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6332425,"Civic Arts Commission highlights upcoming events and notes Rotary mural approved by City Council",264,836000,1100000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2307273-2db8f9a10a9caf2e22194163b6b52a8b&start=836&end=1100","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2307273-2db8f9a10a9caf2e22194163b6b52a8b/thumbnail_836000.jpg","/articles/6332425/Pleasanton/Alameda-County/California/Civic-Arts-Commission-highlights-upcoming-events-and-notes-Rotary-mural-approved-by-City-Council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6332425-78e181e9372bc9f7add52b27562c6b88/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158770&Signature=Mw6fAecekzHUeDq7vBu1lrcgURQNbmZF3LkqE1qwgsykBOdvWcjr288HHE36Oj32OWO0QA9ADoDYXiGsfIcJyTBTq6uBRel8eixLtQWmzK1qZyb4rZpthqCly8zntpdEUdGwjEk-rrCEh3A0dxQYdO0Pqhj7iqwOgabrLmwJGExfAAWN86h5JnHNJWFeCsCcfDpaxbWVoo3P~2ApC-XD6vyCdSmhRIXIQe69FdyBZhdE4U968ryUAtcXNKTS85z0JlaW1atlh7X~3l2tOqj6BTxZAZkYqX6sEWB8Lm9pfrSLArQMMCr8HIJnKvzsPOWzBgTO24~ewBEU5~-yqovGWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff and commissioners at the Pleasanton Civic Arts Commission meeting on Jan. 20 reviewed a civic arts project status report that highlighted upcoming performances, a public art unveiling and recent City Council action on a mural.

Staff noted that the Pleasanton Youth Theatre Company will open a production titled Finding Nemo Kids on Jan. 18 and that multiple bands are scheduled at the Firehouse Arts Center through January and February. Staff invited commissioners to an unveiling of a Wizard of Oz bookbench at the Pleasanton Library set for 11 a.m. on a coming Saturday; the bench was donated by Dorothy and Roland Brodersen and the unveiling will include opening remarks, story time and arts-and-crafts activities for families. Staff also described a cultural celebration in January at the Pleasanton Senior Center that will incorporate performances and hands-on activities, with the event scheduled for 1 to 3 p.m.

Commissioners discussed outreach and marketing for these events. Staff said promotion is being handled through city social channels, department newsletters, local media releases, posters at the library and outreach to community partner organizations and performers. Several commissioners asked for a ready-to-use graphic (JPEG or other social asset) accompanying staff emails so commissioners can post event information easily.

On public art, staff reported that the City Council previously approved acceptance and installation of a Rotary mural; staff said the project is approved and staff will work with the Civic Arts Commission on remaining logistics and next steps. No installation dates or funding specifics were presented at the Jan. 20 meeting.

Commissioners were given the status report for January and February and invited to attend the listed community events.","Staff reported several upcoming programs and a public art unveiling, and said the City Council has approved acceptance of a Rotary mural now moving through installation logistics.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6332430,"Pleasanton Civic Arts Commission approves November minutes and elects Commissioner Song as 2025 chair",195,568000,763000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2307273-2db8f9a10a9caf2e22194163b6b52a8b&start=568&end=763","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2307273-2db8f9a10a9caf2e22194163b6b52a8b/thumbnail_568000.jpg","/articles/6332430/Pleasanton/Alameda-County/California/Pleasanton-Civic-Arts-Commission-approves-November-minutes-and-elects-Commissioner-Song-as-2025-chair","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6332430-b4b94d11749cd990e4b0015e544d6486/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158770&Signature=K7-RYX3HoHs0Jf162S3VPUwGr1QCO9r5ivTN1myWbcpOm9~qizN~TNn~~5eu-QXUqsnjOgnbUGrDVGA5sRj2dUIbCsnd3JrujE328U6YkI-UjkxDghSh-OlxOaLXYqhxccKNWAGck3xtfJjmDm~tpvW1f~6JK3tOyT1RGzXRFNJMh7GLtJWOQEK-FgZyM9vhwTAtoOAYbb33823myLRGdBMOUZU8PJNVwS9P4Vnh7~bbBhnmHJB4tEm~EsiBIQG9xVuGqNURAVQ6vptYr~tDYMUeaJ8cXl~BrnmHki4BBFSchxvINIvqe7Zd6AvFupUBfgb4T5a1R285ZhSTUZMopQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pleasanton Civic Arts Commission on Jan. 20 approved the minutes from its Nov. 2024 meeting and selected Commissioner Song as the commission chairperson for the 2025 calendar year.
