RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council discuss and provide direction on the one-year loan of "Surf Ascension" Sculpture by Artist Domisi Keven Parham, and if approved:
A) Adopt Resolution No. 23-0038;
B) Approve proposed location for the sculpture at 3421 Highland Avenue;
C) Allocate funds from the Public Arts Trust Fund (PATF) for the installation, maintenance, and operation of the sculpture not-to-exceed $12,000 for the one-year loan period.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
If accepted and approved, the scope of work covered by the Art Loan Agreement provides for a $2,000 Artist Honorarium and an amount of up to $7,000 for necessary repair and maintenance, for a total sum not-to-exceed $9,000.

Additionally, staff recommends allocating an additional $3,000 to pay for the use of Public Works staff and equipment during the installation and removal of the artwork. The total allocation requested for this project is $12,000 from the Public Arts Trust Fund (PATF).
