ITEM NUMBER: B - 1 DATE: 02/18/10 Atascadero City Council Staff Report — Community Services Department Introduction of Proposed Memorial Statue Project for the Charles Paddock Proposed RECOMMENDATION: Informational item only. DISCUSSION: Background: Charles Paddock founded the Zoo at Atascadero Lake Park in 1955. He was the County Park Ranger at the time, and was very involved in the community, including serving as a Boy Scout Leader. Mr. Paddock initially took in sick and injured animals that could not be returned to the wild and rehabilitated them. His collection grew into a menagerie that eventually evolved into the accredited Zoo we have today. City Council Member Bob Kelley has brought forward a proposal to have a statue created in honor of the late Charles Paddock, to pay tribute to his significant contributions to the community of Atascadero. It is suggested that the statue be located in the new entry plaza of the Charles Paddock Zoo, after construction is complete. Mark Greenaway, local artist, helped to design the life-size statue which is proposed to be constructed of bronze, with a concrete and granite base. A drawing of the proposed statue is included (Attachment A). Since the City's Arts in Public Places Policy is currently under review by the City Council, this item is on the Commission agenda for this meeting for the purpose of introducing it and giving the Commission and public an opportunity to discuss and become acquainted with it. The project will be brought back to the Commission in March to be reviewed under the newly Council adopted, revised Arts in Public Places Policy for a public hearing and final recommendation to the City Council. Staff's proposed revisions to the Arts in Public Places Policy (Attachment B) will be reviewed by Council on February 23, 2010. City and Zoo staff support this effort by Council Member Kelley and others. It's asked that the Parks and Recreation Commission review and provide feedback for the proposed statue at this time. Public input on these types of public art projects is strongly encouraged. FISCAL IMPACT: None at this time. The project will be funded through community donations.
