SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH SAN
LUIS OBISPO MUSEUM OF ART FOR 2025-2027
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Mayor to execute a two-year Community Partnership Agreement with the San Luis
Obispo Museum of Art for installation of several public art projects each year, in substantially the
same form as Attachment A and as approved by the City Attorney.
POLICY CONTEXT
The recommended actions are in accordance with the City’s Major City Goal (MCG) of “Economic
Resiliency, Cultural Vitality and Fiscal Sustainability.” The Arts and Cultural District concept (MCG
Strategy 1.4) is also one of the hallmarks of the Downtown Concept Plan and in furtherance of
the City’s long-standing Public Art Program. Specifically, the City will continue to work with
community partners to ensure cultural vitality of the City and the City will continue to execute the
Public Art Master Plan.
The Public Art Master Plan of 2016 identified “Explore Different Staffing and Community
Partnership Models” as Goal 5, with Goal 5.2 recommending that staff “Explore community
partnerships for shared resources and programming.”
DISCUSSION
Background
The City of San Luis Obispo enjoys a long-standing public / private partnership with the San Luis
Obispo Museum of Art (SLOMA) that stretches back over 50 years. While the relationship and
nature of the partnership has supported a wide variety of activities and initiatives in support of the
visual arts, a core element has been the City’s lease of a portion of real property at the corner of
Monterey Street and Broad Street tangent to Mission Plaza where the museum facility itself is
located.
In 2021, the City expanded its partnership with SLOMA to include a Community Partnership
Agreement (Attachment B) for the purpose of building capacity and expertise in the administration
of the City’s Public Art program over the course of a two-year term. Identified projects included:
Page 155 of 243
Item 5i
1) Downtown Public Art Installations, 2) Roundabout Public Art Installations, and 3) Neighborhood
Greenway Installations and that Agreement expired on July 21, 2023.
Over the original two-year Community Partnership Agreement period, July 2021 – July 2023,
SLOMA assisted with five installations: Maria Molteni’s Seven Sisters mural installed in November
2021, Anila Agha’s The Greys in Between sculpture installed at the Tank Farm Roundabout in
October 2022, and three rotating sculptures on the Mission Plaza Lawn. Each of these
installations enhanced the partnership between the City and SLOMA as well as increased
community and visitor awareness to the museum and the City’s public art program. At the time of
writing this report, the acceptance of a gift sculpture, location identification and installation process
has been initiated.
On May 19, 2023, SLOMA provided a proposal to the City to continue the agreement for an annual
fee of $100,000. This agreement (Attachment C) was approved by Council on July 11, 2023 for
another two-year period, with identified enhancements for SLOMA to undertake to benefit the
City’s Public Art Program and which included: 1) One Roundabout Art piece per year, 2) Rotating
installation on the Mission Plaza lawn, and 3) Additional place making installation with all projects
totaling up to $400,000 per year and with the Agreement set to expire on June 30, 2025. This
Agreement also included modifications to 2021 Agreement to streamline the process.
During the current 2023-2025 two-year partnership agreement period, July 2023 to present (May
2025), SLOMA has met their commitments with three art installations: two temporary sculpture
installations on the Mission Plaza lawn and the placemaking temporary art installation at Garden
Street Alley. In addition, progress has continued towards the installation of a permanent
installation of the sculpture “Shift” by local artist Warren Hamrick. The installation of this project
remains on hold while the City and the property owner of the intended installation site finalize
contractual obligations related to the San Luis Ranch development. Clearance for installation is
anticipated to occur during the first quarter of this new agreement period and costs have been
accounted for within the 2025-27 funds.
On May 8, 2025, City staff received an updated proposal from SLOMA for a third two -year
Agreement (Attachment D) requesting $100,000 to be paid to SLOMA annually. Based on a
successful prior two-year period, the Draft Agreement (Attachment A) is being proposed with
limited amendments. The Agreement identifies the following potential work projects on behalf of
the City, not to exceed a total of $400,000 over the two-year period:
1) Continue with the installation of “Shift”, by Warren Hamrick, to be placed in the San
Luis Ranch neighborhood (Froom Ranch Road and Heirloom).
2) Contract and install a permanent installation at the soon to be developed Righetti
Community Park by a local artist.
3) Upon completion of the Mission Plaza Café and Restroom renovation, contract for a
temporary sculpture on the Mission Plaza lawn and to remain on site through June of
2027.
4) Installation of an “ephemeral” piece to be installed within the City limits on a temporary
basis.

Item 5i
Current Role of City Departments
As the Draft Agreement highlights, SLOMA will support one part of the overall City public art
program. In addition to SLOMA’s activities, City staff will continue to support the public art
program in a variety of ways, as outlined in Attachment A, section 4.A.i-xvii, including:
1. The Recreation Manager will continue to serve as a liaison to SLOMA, and manage
all other sectors of the public art program, with support from the City’s Public Art
Coordinator, including, but not limited to:
a. infrastructure management, maintenance and care of the City’s collection,
b. coordination of private and voluntary art installations,
c. coordination of local park activation through the arts
d. installation of temporary art projects,
e. Utility Box program,
f. advocacy and outreach,
g. and recreational programming.
2. In addition to the Recreation Manager and Public Art Coordinator, the Volunteer
Coordinator will assist with volunteer recruitment for maintenance.
3. Public Works staff continue to maintain shared facility spaces, including the Mission
Plaza lawn, manage maintenance when resources allow and provide guidance for
installations.
4. The Community Development Department (CDD) team will continue to work with staff
on private installations and support SLOMA with the necessary permitting for
installations impacting traffic or requiring final inspection.
5. The City’s Tourism team will continue to cross-promote art and provide outreach
opportunities through the PCC. Finally, the Communications team conducts marketing
and promotions of the joint installations, as well as the City’s art pieces.
In summary, the City’s public art program is multifaceted and far-reaching. Its success in
delivering an inclusive, engaging, and dynamic arts experience is made possible through close
collaboration among City departments and our valued partner, SLOMA.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
On February 20, 1967, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 367 (1967 Series) in order to
allow for the lease of a portion of Mission Plaza to be used for the purposes of operating a museum
structure addressed at 1010 Broad Street within a defined premises that is further identified in
that 1967 Lease Agreement.
On February 18, 2010, the City entered into an updated Lease Agreement with SLOMA (formerly
the San Luis Obispo Art Center and prior to that the San Luis Obispo Art Association) to include
terms and provisions to extend the lease term until 2065, specify operational hours and
procedures, and construct a new facility on the premises on or before 2025.
On July 20, 2021, Council approved a two-year Community Partnership Agreement with SLOMA.
On July 11, 2023, Council approved a second two-year Community Partnership Agreement with
SLOMA.

CONCURRENCE
The City Attorney’s Office, the City’s Risk Manager, and the City’s Finance team have reviewed
the relevant legal documents associated with the Community Partnership Agreement with SLOMA
and have concluded that there are no barriers to the recommendations stated herein. The
Executive Director of SLOMA has reviewed and supported the draft agreement.

The proposed Community Partnership Agreement provides $100,000 annually ($200,000 total
over the two-year term) to the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art (SLOMA) to support the general
duties and obligations outlined in the agreement. Additionally, the City will provide up to $200,000
annually ($400,000 total over two years) for the acquisition, installation, and maintenance of at
least three public art projects, as described in the agreement.
The agreement and projects will be funded through a combination of existing Public Art Fund
balances and new appropriations included in the 2025–27 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
The 2025–27 CIP, slated for adoption by City Council on June 17, 2025, allocates $110,000 in
FY 2025–26 and $210,000 in FY 2026–27 to the Public Art Installations account (Project
#2000503), along with $100,000 in each year for the Annual Public Art Maintenance account
(Project #2000510). The Public Art Fund is supported by both impact fees collected from new
development and contributions from the General Fund, consistent with the City’s ongoing
investment in capital projects that enhance community spaces through public art.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Do not renew the community partnership agreement with the San Luis Obispo
Museum of Art. Council has identified support of cultural arts and community partnerships
and implementation of the public art master plan as part of the city’s major city goal
strategies in support of the 2025-2027 financial plan. Non-renewal would require City staff to
halt or delay current Public Art work projects to address the above outlined items.
2. Do not accept the proposal from SLOMA and require an RFP to select a community
partner. The prior community partnership agreement terms have been successful and have
provided momentum for future expansion of the partnership to continue art installations in a
more efficient manner. SLOMA is uniquely qualified to provide these services due to its
intimate knowledge of art, unique connection to the arts community and its long experience
producing and providing cultural art exhibits for the benefit of the community.

be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the SLOMA maintains

Pass-through clause. SLOMA agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other
party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by SLOMA (hereinafter collectively
“subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of
SLOMA. SLOMA agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for
ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. However, in
the event SLOMA’s subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted
to the City, SLOMA shall be required to ensure that its subcontractor provide and maintain insurance
coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with subcontractor’s
scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the SLOMA, but in all other terms consistent
with the SLOMA’s requirements under this agreement. This provision does not relieve the SLOMA of its
contractual obligations under the agreement and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance
coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide SLOMA with the
ability to utilize a subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but
may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the SLOMA under this agreement given the
limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor. SLOMA agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors, and others engaged in the project, will be submitted to City for review.
City’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the
contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the SLOMA ninety (90) days
advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the
SLOMA, the City and SLOMA may renegotiate SLOMA’s compensation.
Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City
reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a
deductible, or require proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and
defense expenses within the retention through confirmation from the underwriter.
Timely notice of claims. SLOMA shall give City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits
instituted that arise out of or result from SLOMA’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve
or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
Additional insurance. SLOMA shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any
additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection.
SLOMA’s personal property, fixtures, equipment, inventory, and vehicles are not insured by City against
loss or damage due to fire, theft, vandalism, rain, water, criminal or negligent acts of others, or any
other cause.
