VI. CURRENT BUSINESS
A. Items for Review and Possible Action
8. John Wayne Exhibition at Central Library – Staff requests the City Arts
Commission approve a temporary exhibition of John Wayne photographs from the
John R. Hamilton Collection for display in the Central Library.
Taryn Palumbo, John Wayne Enterprises and John Wayne Cancer Foundation, offered a
curated selection of John Hamilton's color and black-and-white photos of John Wayne for
exhibition at the Newport Beach Public Library. She shared a history of Mr. Hamilton's
work and Mr. Wayne's ties to Newport Beach. In celebration of Mr. Wayne's 110th birthday
on May 26, numerous activities were planned around the community. The exhibit would
showcase the John Hamilton collection, would be a wonderful way to bring back the image
of John Wayne as a legend, and would tie into community events.
In response to Chair Selich's questions, Ms. Palumbo reported the exhibit would be
curated specifically for the Newport Beach Library. Between 15 and 25 images,
depending on the size of images selected, would be displayed.
Chair Selich and Vice Chair Kerr expressed appreciation for the exhibit.
In response to Commissioner Greer's question, Ms. Palumbo advised that the event on
June 11, the date of Mr. Wayne's death, would be a celebration of his life and feature a
conversation with the two curators of the exhibit. The John Wayne Cancer Foundation
was cohosting a showing of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance during the Film Festival
on April 22nd.

public survey.
Commissioner Logan explained the significance of the Centennial Monument and
encircling labyrinth. In the past ten years, no significant events had been added to the
timeline. She shared recommended criteria for events and suggested events for the years
2007-2017. The Historical Society had suggested including for 2017 the 50th anniversary
celebration of the Newport Beach Historical Society. Residents could suggest events for
the timeline as well.
In reply to Chair Selich's question, Commissioner Logan agreed to investigate whether
the Sister City program had already been included. Brave and lost residents were
memorialized in a different way, such as Bob Henry Park and the Ben Carlson monument.

7. Report on City Council Presentation – Vice Chair Kerr will report on the
recent presentation to City Council.
Vice Chair Kerr reported he had met with five of the seven Council Members over six
weeks to discuss projects and funding for the City Arts Commission. He had created a
proposed budget and revised it following each meeting with a Council Member. The final
iteration of the budget was presented to the Council during a study session. Council
Members expressed broad support for arts in Newport Beach, support for a vibrant arts
culture in the City, and desires for private funding matching public funding and public-
private partnerships. He had met with the Arts Foundation also and developed a concept
of a division of labor within the Arts Foundation. One group of the Arts Foundation would
promote the arts, and a second would raise funds. The Arts Foundation was agreeable
to the concept. During the Council study session, Chair Selich had reviewed progress,
events, and successes of the City Arts Commission, and he had discussed funding for the
next fiscal year and proposed the concept of two groups within the Arts Foundation. The
Council had endorsed the concept and offered favorable feedback. The City Arts
Commission's role in the concept was to recruit arts Foundation members who wanted to
fundraise. He envisioned the fundraising group as self-organizing and both groups as
equally valuable. The concept has not been implemented but is open for discussion. He
reviewed the current fiscal year budget and the proposed fiscal year 2017-2018 budget
presented to the City Council. The proposed NBAF administrative position would be
lodged in the Arts Foundation as either an employee or contract labor, and would be
assigned 80 percent to the Arts Foundation for fundraising and 20 percent to the City Arts
Commission for arts coordination. He felt the Council would not allocate the full $384,000
in fiscal year 2017-2018 but would likely fund a good number of proposed projects.
In response to Chair Selich's question, Library Services Director Hetherton felt the Council
was considering Vice Chair Kerr's proposals, but the outcome not would be known until
the budget was finalized.
In response to Chair Selich's question, Vice Chair Kerr advised that after a year the
administrative position should pay for itself and generate significant private funding.

Commissioner Logan was pleased with Vice Chair Kerr's proposals and the logic of those
proposals.
Commissioner Greer congratulated Vice Chair Kerr on his progress with the City Council.
Chair Selich stated the proposed projects showed the Council the potential expansion of
arts in the community. Establishing a fundraising arm to support projects would be good.
Vice Chair Kerr noted the Council approved funding for Phase III of the Sculpture Garden,
discussed funding for Phase IV, and placed four conditions on approval of funding. The
City Arts Commission would relocate the Reagan statue to Civic Center Park, raise private
funds totaling $50,000 for honorariums in Phase IV, reduce project manager fees by 50
percent in Phase IV, and utilize City departments for the installation of Phase IV.
Commissioner Logan understood the relocation was not to be permanent.
Vice Chair Kerr suggested changing the rotation period of the Sculpture Garden from
every year to every two years.
Commissioner Logan was pleased with the City Arts Commission's direction.
In response to Commissioner Chang's question, Chair Selich advised that the budget
contained proposed amounts rather than allocated amounts. Commissioner Chang felt
funds for existing programs should be increased rather than decreased.
In response to Commissioner Chang's questions, Vice Chair Kerr indicated the proposed
administrative person should have one year in the position before he was expected to
raise funds for his own salary and for projects. He did not know the correct amount to
assign to that position in the first year. Library Services Director Hetherton reported the
City would issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to fill the position, and the Cultural Arts
Division would oversee the position. An earlier RFP for a similar position did not offer a
salary comparable to the duties of the position.
Vice Chair Kerr reiterated the Council's expectations for a significant amount of private
funds. The Council expected $50,000 of private funds for Phase IV of the Sculpture
Garden.
Chair Selich summarized fundraising efforts for the Pacific Symphony concert in 2016.
The City Arts Commission's role was not fundraising. If the City Arts Commission wished
to expand programming beyond funds provided by the City Council, then the Arts
Foundation had to raise funds.
Commissioner Greer suggested the donor form be placed on the Newport Beach Arts
Foundation webpage so that fundraising could continue. She requested a timeline for
programming to occur.
Chair Selich reiterated the City Arts Commission's role of building a fundraising arm of the
Arts Foundation. Fundraising was the role of the Arts Foundation.

Commissioner Greer clarified her hopes that programming could occur quickly with a
specific timeline.
Assistant City Manager Jacobs suggested forming a subcommittee to identify fundraising
members for the Arts Foundation, marketing for new members, and fundraising efforts.
She offered to assist such a subcommittee.
Commissioner Logan suggested Commissioner Greer and Chair Selich for a
subcommittee.
Chair Selich appointed Vice Chair Kerr, Assistant City Manager Jacobs, Commissioner
Chang, and herself to the subcommittee.
Vice Chair Kerr requested a member of the Arts Foundation be appointed to the
subcommittee.
4. Newport Beach Arts Foundation Discussion – Staff requests the City
Arts Commission review the proposal Vice Chair Kerr has made to
establish a new structure for the Newport Beach Arts Foundation. A formal
actionable item will then be brought back to the Arts Commission for
approval.
[The City Arts Commission discussed this item with Item VI.A.7.]
B. Monthly Reports
9. Art in Public Places Ad Hoc Subcommittee – Commissioner Arlene
Greer, Commissioner Caroline Logan, Commissioner Jennifer Van Bergh
Commissioner Greer reported the subcommittee discussed progress of marketing,
publicity, and the artist call for the Art Exhibition and a plan for the reception. Plans were
well underway. The Art Exhibition would be held from 1:00-6:00 p.m. on June 17th at the
Civic Center Community Room. The Sculpture Garden, the Cows4Camp exhibit, and the
Central Library gallery would be open to attendees of the Art Exhibition. At 4:30, Mayor
Muldoon would honor winning artists of the Art Exhibition. 20 percent of art sales would
be contributed to the Newport Beach Arts Foundation and then to City Arts Commission
programming. Currently, 26 artists had registered for the Art Exhibition.
Chair Selich added that one or two of the Cows4Camp cows would be auctioned.
10. Performing Arts Ad Hoc Subcommittee – Commissioner Michelle
Bendetti, Commissioner Arlene Greer, Commissioner Judy Chang
Commissioner Bendetti indicated dates for Concerts on the Green had been determined
and contracts sent to the bands.

VII. CITY ARTS COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENTS OR MATTERS WHICH MEMBERS
WOULD LIKE PLACED ON A FUTURE AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION, ACTION OR
REPORT (NON-DISCUSSION ITEM)
Library Services Director Hetherton indicated the Art in Public Places Ad Hoc
Subcommittee would have a report on the Sculpture Exhibition. The consultant would be
meeting with the subcommittee and reporting monthly to the City Arts Commission
regarding progress of the show.
In response to Commissioner Logan's inquiry, Library Services Director Hetherton
suggested the City Arts Commission could discuss the Council's directive regarding the
Reagan statue. Vice Chair Kerr requested a site plan for sculpture be provided to
Commissioners for this discussion.
VIII. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS
Michael Magrutsche believed Commissioners had progressed with organization and
planning. Commissioners needed to create value by developing a cultural vision.
Chair Selich felt building a brand for arts in Newport Beach would facilitate Council funding
of projects.
Jim Mosher remarked that the Council's directive regarding the Reagan statue was
inappropriate. He felt the Council allocated arts funding grudgingly to fulfill past Council
promises. The City Arts Commission needed to resuscitate the Arts Master Plan.
Commissioner Greer thanked Library Services Director Hetherton, Chair Selich, Vice
Chair Kerr for their work in preparing for and meeting with the City Council. At the retreat
in 2016, Commissioners had defined a vision for the arts.
Chair Selich suggested revisiting the vision discussed at the retreat.
Commissioner Greer felt the City Arts Commission had made progress over the year, and
a path forward was visible.

TITLE: Placement of Ronald Regan Statue
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Art in Public Places Ad Hoc Sub Committee, in collaboration with sculptor
Miriam Baker, determine an appropriate site in Civic Center Park to place the Ronald Reagan Sculpture.
DISCUSSION:
On Tuesday, April 11, City Council approved Phase III of the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park. In
addition, as part of the approval, Council directed that the sculpture of Ronald Reagan that is currently
sited in Bonita Canyon Sports Park be relocated to Civic Center Park as one of the 10 pieces slated for
installation.
This sculpture, by artist Miriam Baker, was created in 2011 in honor of President Ronald Reagan’s
Centennial Birthday. The sculpture is currently located at the northwest section of Bonita Canyon Sports
Park on Ford Road.
While the ten sculptures in each phase are rotated through the exhibition every two years, the Reagan
statue will be permanently sited in the park. As such, the piece will require a more permanent installation
than the simple concrete pads used for the temporary installations. Cultural Arts staff will work Arts
Orange County and City staff to arrange and complete a suitable permanent installation.
Staff will arrange a meeting and a site walk with Mrs. Baker and the Art in Public Places Ad Hoc Sub
Committee to determine a site to submit to City Council for final approval.
