Commissioners discussed a threefold approach to the revenue task: solicit ideas from the public and experts, do staff and commissioner research, and use a short template for commissioners and members of the public to submit proposals. The suggested template will ask each idea’s summary, expected revenue generation, estimated staff and fiscal impacts and any other implementation needs; staff will compile submissions for commission review.

Several commissioners and members of the public offered preliminary concepts (not exhaustive): rental/fee‑based uses (private parties, seminars, conferences), rotating banners or light‑pole art, ticketed classes and events, artist talks connected to Art Night, and donor or naming opportunities. Staff cautioned that some ideas (for example, rotating banners) carry installation and removal costs and require funding; staff cited a recent banner program costing approximately $5,000 for installation and removal and three to four months of display as a cost reference.

Motion and vote: The commission voted to create a short‑term ad hoc charged with preparing the October meeting (to include Chair Fox, Commissioner Fader and Commissioner Romer). The motion passed with all commissioners present voting yes; three commissioners were absent. Staff clarified that a focused item will be placed on the October agenda and the ad hoc will assist with speaker invitations, meeting agenda and outreach strategy. The commission also agreed to invite experts and collect written proposals in advance to support deliberation.

Public comment at the meeting included opposition to a proposed mural donation from outside the city and requests that donated works align with local character; speakers urged fiscal discipline and asked that work‑plan items include estimated staff costs. Staff and commissioners said they will await council guidance on the sculpture loan program before finalizing any mural‑acceptance rubric and will treat mural donations as case studies for the emerging rubric.

Why it matters: Pacific View is in its early operational year and carries operating costs. Council asked the commission to recommend revenue options; the commission established a structured intake and an ad hoc to help produce a focused public meeting to gather expert and resident input.

What’s next: Staff will publish the short submission template and accept proposals in coming weeks. The ad hoc will coordinate the October meeting, gather expert presenters and summarize submissions for the full commission and for transmittal to City Council as appropriate.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Encinitas Commission For the Arts Live Stream 8/4/25","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners agreed on a process to gather and vet revenue‑generation ideas for Pacific View Arts Center, will use a short submission template for proposals, and voted to form a three-member ad hoc to plan a focused October meeting on arts goals and policies.","taxTitle","Encinitas, San Diego County, California","taxId",3828,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6491339,"Encinitas cultural arts director says youth piano concerto will not be held in 2026",353,397000,750000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5529524-139128fd3c914e590f22d179e0724390&start=397&end=750","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5529524-139128fd3c914e590f22d179e0724390/thumbnail_397000.jpg","/articles/6491339/Encinitas/San-Diego-County/California/Encinitas-cultural-arts-director-says-youth-piano-concerto-will-not-be-held-in-2026","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491339-1d74acb81d27a607a3247bcff597efe8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770846614&Signature=NQ56Ai6xkI7D4GSyDtTRzVOEyCet-iWyl5G-9XyZIfzTQknZ34vXRc2fQu-uQgBD5tngQW~~npHlh9FwA8k1E6Inym7ba6YWXMKqL6kg4GOi5BF40LtGjiEsVqKQvnCJ4~agyzOzIDhJsH06odM0elyW6SjVep5h4oXXvNWmpaWAytW7nzM7VOgVoteH9t0HIxAOfAWFM5HrRVIojVPyVfViYv1rqH9A6-7EEdBob3E~JmH4wIDt1U38-t0OjtgblLKq8hvjyLhXueLn4w~D7thBg8xqYTsm5m-5lgt88x04iWubhQCB2ezxqLc~ORz8FVaIqtS07lQWQUrE~pt7eA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dave Knott, director of cultural arts for the City of Encinitas, told the Commission for the Arts on Aug. 4 that the city will not plan the youth piano concerto for 2026.

Knott said the city held its second youth piano concerto this year with more than 30 applicants and three selected performers who performed with the North Coastal Symphony. He described the event as \"a fantastic event\" with significant staff and orchestra costs. Knott estimated the event’s direct costs at roughly $12,000, and said the program has been funded from non‑budgeted sources within Parks, Recreation, Culture and Arts rather than as a line item in the department budget.

Knott and commissioners said the event’s audience has tended to include a minority of Encinitas residents (Knott said about 30% were Encinitas residents in prior years), and staff concluded the city was not meeting desired local impact relative to the expenses. Knott said staff will look for lower‑cost alternatives and other ways to present youth piano experiences — for example, smaller educational formats that allow youth to engage directly with the instrument and musicians, site-based demonstrations, and youth‑oriented programming during Art Night — rather than continuing the concerto in its current form.

Commissioners acknowledged disappointment at the decision while noting fiscal realities. One commissioner praised Vice Chair Jennifer Morakovic’s (Vice Chair, Commission for the Arts) efforts on the program and encouraged clearer expectations and performance metrics for future initiatives (attendance by Encinitas residents, participant counts, and budget alignment) so proposers understand program requirements.

Why it matters: The youth piano concerto gave local students a rare performance opportunity with a symphony orchestra. The commission said it will look for alternative, lower‑cost ways to promote youth music and engagement with the Steinway at Pacific View Arts Center while preserving opportunities for local youth.

What’s next: Staff will not budget the concerto as a Parks, Recreation, Culture and Arts line item for 2026 and will explore alternative programming and educational formats to encourage youth music participation and local attendance.","Director Dave Knott told the commission the youth piano concerto will not be planned for 2026 because it is not budgeted and current participation and audience composition do not justify the city expense.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6491343,"Encinitas arts commission refines sculpture loan program, votes to send amended presentation to council",2426,884000,3310000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5529524-139128fd3c914e590f22d179e0724390&start=884&end=3310","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5529524-139128fd3c914e590f22d179e0724390/thumbnail_884000.jpg","/articles/6491343/Encinitas/San-Diego-County/California/Encinitas-arts-commission-refines-sculpture-loan-program-votes-to-send-amended-presentation-to-council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491343-08ccabbf86fc3389b1c26777bf25b38f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770846614&Signature=PlfhI7GgLrN1cmBn7eMtRXq-6fs~6jwvyvpIKRZ2rj-jvuyF5SHrXc8qvZWKbGQImko1oFc2275FIPd9MbaPIKZBeAXxtuO7O5GeQvEUtUcdFXSqm5Zm-nDlSJ2qbgEmXLo55h073K-DgJBHYTpU3xJUYMFP1aJI-d0RJHKkP53yTcT-vPEy3X4K9I0eu06~6TicsFYPyUvaUEt4JYpS9jBOQdwfn6X5TCSnzI0e4NANyODnJX82vajn26dbpuDOjheGMDsINsbIYdVhud37eoZdnH7KSz-zzkg6eAF5fZCrK~gmaIv7d6OQK113xJURaPD3R9gnb67-Madt6RBELw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Encinitas Commission for the Arts voted to approve a set of revisions to its sculpture loan program presentation and will forward the amended slides and supplemental notes to City Council for final consideration.

At the Aug. 4 meeting, Colette (staff member) reviewed proposed edits developed by the commission and staff after an ad hoc working group compiled community outreach findings and draft rubric language. The changes agreed to by the commission include: renaming “focus groups” to “small groups” in the outreach documentation; maintaining the current jury selection process (with recommendations coming from community entities rather than being sourced solely by staff); clarifying the jury panel’s scope of work and continuing the jury’s rubric scoring; removing an online public survey as a required input while keeping multiple public input channels; and adding a public display period in civic buildings showing large photos and artist statements ahead of the commission meeting to solicit meaningful public comment.

Commissioners and staff asked that the packet to council explicitly note two items for council awareness: (1) how the program handles potential acquisitions if a loaned piece is later purchased or donated to the city, including the need for additional pads or relocation options; and (2) liability insurance requirements for participating artists and whether the city’s risk-management approach or stipend levels should be adjusted to address insurance barriers. Staff said it will add a slide labeled “Points of future consideration” covering those topics.

Director Dave Knott (Director of Cultural Arts) and staff described operational clarifications: jury panels will continue to score using the rubric; a three-commissioner jury will select one to two sculptures for consideration; commissioners will also review and submit rubrics and statements attached to the public agenda before the meeting; and artist submissions may specify site preferences but will be advised that opening to multiple sites increases selection chances. Commissioners emphasized that the jury’s work should be transparent and tied to a clear mission statement and site briefs.

The commission also discussed the program’s loan period and a staff recommendation to move to a three-year loan cadence to reduce repeated installation/deinstallation costs and to even out staggered installation dates. Staff said the current stipend for participating artists remains $2,000 per year under the existing program rules and that a move to a three-year loan period would not automatically increase the annual stipend unless council directs otherwise.

Motion and vote: Commissioner motioned to accept the changes Colette outlined for the presentation to council; the motion was seconded and passed. The commission recorded the motion as passed with all commissioners present voting yes (all four commissioners present at the meeting voted yes; three commissioners were absent). Staff said it would finalize the slides to reflect the agreed edits and add the two “future consideration” bullets for council review.

Why it matters: The changes aim to make selection criteria clearer and public input more substantive while reducing reliance on a popularity-driven online survey. The commission framed the revisions as a way to better match artworks to sites across Encinitas and to reduce staff and jury time spent on repeated site rejections by artists.

What’s next: Staff will update the presentation and supporting documentation with details about the small-group outreach, the jury process, the public display plan (large photographs and artist statements in civic buildings ahead of the meeting), and the two points for council consideration (acquisitions and insurance). The revised package will be transmitted to City Council for its direction and final action.","The Commission for the Arts approved changes to its sculpture loan program presentation and will forward a revised package to City Council that clarifies jury selection, public input methods, loan terms and items for council consideration such as liability insurance and potential acquisitions.","actionData","errors"]
