BACKGROUND:
At their meeting of January 15, 2020, the City’s Public Arts Commission approved a
Community Grant program for neighborhood associations and business districts. As part
of that grant program, the Commission approved a pilot program for a Public Bench Art
project in Downtown. The pilot program began in June 2020 and included the painting of
City-owned public benches on North Palm Canyon Drive between Alejo Road and
Andreas Road. The program was later expanded to include additional benches, for a total
of approximately 50 City-owned public benches being painted as part of the Bench Art
Project.
To maintain and repair Public Bench Art pieces, the Public Arts Commission approved an
agreement with Tysen Knight in the amount of $5,000 for maintenance of and repairs to
completed Public Arts projects through December 31, 2021. Under the terms of the

Amend Tysen Knight Art Maintenance Agreement
agreement, Tysen Knight repairs damage and graffiti to City benches painted as part of
the Arts Commission’s Downtown Bench Art Program, as well as repair damage and
graffiti to the Commission’s “Stop in the Name of Love” electrical utility box art project on
an as-needed basis.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Public Arts Commission is requesting the Agreement with Tysen Knight be extended
to June 30, 2022, for an additional amount not to exceed $5,000, bringing the total
contract amount to $10,000.
Tysen Knight has provided artistic services to the Public Arts Commission since 2019,
when he completed the first pilot project of ten painted benches in the City’s downtown,
and subsequently has consulted on all three phases of the recently completed Bench Art
Project. Due to the numerous occurrences of vandalism (graffiti and other damage) to the
downtown benches and other public art, Mr. Knight has been utilized on an “on-call” basis
to perform various repairs. This agreement will allow Mr. Knight to respond quickly to
vandalism issues and ensure that the public art is restored.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Amendment No. 1 is for an additional six-month term ending June 30, 2022, in the amount
of $5,000. Sufficient funding is available in the Public Arts Fund, Fund 150.
