DISCUSSION: Background: The Atascadero Wine Festival Committee has brought forward a proposal to donate a vintage style clock in the downtown area to honor the memory of the late Joanne Maine. Mrs. Maine was the former Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, and a member of many community organizations. The clock was a project Mrs. Maine had discussed as a future project to enhance Atascadero's downtown. The clock would be located at the highly visible corner of ECR and East Mall at the Sunken Gardens, across from the Peabody and Plum Real Estate office. Attached, are pictures and renderings of the proposed clock, and its location. Some specific information about the statute include: - It is manufactured by the Verdin Bells and Clocks Company, which has been continuously in business in Ohio since 1842. - The clock will be customized to read, "Atascadero 1913-2013". - The clock styling would be similar to the City's existing street lights around the Sunken Gardens. - The clock stands 10'ft. 11" inches tall, and would be mounted on a small concrete base that will feature a memorial plaque honoring Mrs. Maine. - The Wine Festival Committee will pay for the clock ($> $10,000) and its installation. - The City of Atascadero would own and maintain the clock. It has a three year warranty, and there is a company in Bakersfield that is licensed to maintain the clocks. The item is on the Commission agenda for this meeting to introduce the proposed project, and give the Commission and the public an opportunity give input before the item goes to the City Council for final approval. Attached to this report are depictions of the proposed clock and the location. FISCAL IMPACT: None at this time. The clock will use a minimal amount of electricity, and the annual maintenance is expected to be very low for several years.

Arroyo Grande in Bloom hopes that the information we presented at Hearst Castle in March, describing how our community has benefitted from our affiliation with America In Bloom, was of interest to you. We sincerely hope that your community will become a participant in this wonderful program in the near future. With this in mind, AGIB would like to offer you an opportunity to become more familiar with America In Bloom by observing our city evaluation process, first hand. The America in Bloom judges will be in Arroyo Grande on July 9 and 10. We would like to invite a representative from your community to join us on the morning of July 10 to tour the Village of Arroyo Grande, meet our AIB judges along with members of our steering committee, and be our guest for lunch. This will provide an opportunity for you to observe the AIB community evaluation process, ask questions of the judges, and network with our steering committee members. Additionally, AGIB can provide a more detailed presentation of the program to interested parties in your community. The presentation is best suited for audiences consisting of city parks administrators, city managers, elected officials, Rotary, Kiwanis, Chambers of Commerce, and other similar business and community associations. Please let us know if you would be interested in either or both of the foregoing activities, so that we can plan for your participation. Please email me or call me at 805-710-4049.
