Dear Mr. Bernstein and Council Members,
You and the other Council Members are considering the request from the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood
Organization (Item “N” on the Consent Agenda) at your July 9th meeting. I want you to know that our
neighborhood organization has worked really hard to develop this artistic collection along Chino Drive (and plan to
donate it to the City), and we have engaged our neighbors in the process extensively. Our spring meeting in 2023
featured the collection of five prototypes by Delos Val Earl for comments on the pieces and suggestions. The
response was overwhelmingly positive and Red Dragon was the favorite. Red Dragon is now proudly standing along
Chino Drive.
As our goal is to install five pieces, we again went to our neighbors for their thoughts and support at our
neighborhood block party in spring of 2024 in the parking lot at Temple Isaiah. Comments from around 110
attendees about Red Dragon were totally positive. We asked for a vote on the next installation from the four choices,
and Prince came in first. A close second was Blue Belly Crab. These two are the next two installations we are
requesting funding for from the City of Palm Springs. Again, both will be donated to the City after installation to
become part of the City’s Public Art Collection.
I hope you will support our request. More details are explained in the Staff Report. We are extremely excited to be
part of this effort to create an artistic treasure along Chino Drive for both residents and tourists to enjoy.
Please reach out to me, if you have questions.
Thank you,
