| 1 | 3.1 | Public Art Master Plan | CC- Study Session | DRAFT PUBLIC ART MASTER PLAN
In 2012, the Public Art Program in the Recreation and Parks Department was awarded an Our Town Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to develop a Public Art Master Plan. Todd W. Bressi, a public art consultant from Philadelphia, was contracted to develop the plan.
The draft plan includes recommendations related to where to install new projects, what types of projects should be supported, how and when to partner with other organizations, and how to restructure the Art in Public Places Committee (APPC) to improve effectiveness. Public Art Master Plan recommendations will be reflected and implemented through future amendments to the Public Art Policy.
The planning process included broad community engagement and public participation through surveys, interviews, meetings, lectures, and workshops. To inform other boards and commissions of the development of this plan, staff presented the draft to the Design Review Board, Board of Community Services, Planning Commission and Cultural Heritage Board to gather feedback.

| 1 | 12.1 | Road Tax Measure | CC- Report | REPORT - SONOMA COUNTY ROAD TAX MEASURE (This item was continued from the October 14, 2014, Regular Meeting)
BACKGROUND: The County of Sonoma voted on August 12, 2014 to place a one-quarter of one percent general sales tax measure on the March 3, 2015 ballot along with an Advisory Measure specifying the manner in which the sales tax is proposed to be spent. Santa Rosa, as directed by the City Council at a staff briefing, advised the County that the City wished to allocate ten percent (10%) of the City’s share of the revenues to Transit.
As a result of polling results, the County elected to place the measure on the ballot as a general sales tax measure which only requires a majority vote with a companion advisory measure instead of a special sales tax which would require a two thirds vote. On October 28, 2014, the Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to rescind the prior resolution and adopted a new resolution setting an election for June 2015. The Board further decided to pursue only a general tax measure with no companion advisory measure and to reduce the term of the tax from 2 | | |

| 1 | 12.2 | Juilliard Park Master Plan Amendment | CC- Report | REPORT - JUILLIARD PARK MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT CHURCH OF ONE TREE SITE ADDING A FENCE
BACKGROUND: The Recreation and Parks Department desires to increase use of the Church of One Tree and protect the building. The Church of One Tree site abuts Juilliard Park. The Master Plan for Juilliard Park was established in 1932, and was most recently amended on February 11, 2014. The Church of One Tree (Church) was placed on the site adjacent to Juilliard Park in 1957, and the building was used as the Ripley Memorial Museum from 1970 to 1998. The building was designated by City Council as a Landmark in 1998. The building has been restored and also modified to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The Recreation and Parks Department is tasked with increasing use and generating revenue at the Church. Ongoing issues at the exterior of the building and the entryways, including vandalism, graffiti, discarded drug paraphernalia and illegal encampments, have made it difficult to rent and program the facility. Santa Rosa Police Department staff has suggested that the Recreation an | | |

Each year, an Annual Report is prepared by City staff, reviewed by the Citizen Oversight Committee and presented to the City Council reporting on expenditures and activities during the past fiscal year.
