Commission says restored Onagawara will be displayed before installation; sister‑city package goes to city council
Summary
The chair reported the sister city commission submitted final drawings and a cost package for the Onagawara and Japanese garden refresh; the restored piece will be displayed at Temple Art Lofts before public‑works installs it pending city council cost approval.
The Vallejo Beautification Commission received an update on the Onagawara sculpture and a planned refresh of the Japanese garden.
Chair (speaker 1) said the sister city commission presented a final package of drawings, a plinth specification and a cost breakdown; the package will be presented to the city council for approval. The chair noted the restored Onagawara will be on public display at the Temple Art Lofts during the Second Friday art walk prior to installation. “The planting is the easy part. The onagawara and the replacement of the onagawara was the most difficult,” the chair said.
If city council approves the cost package, public works will handle installation of the plinth and placement of the sculpture; the chair said work could start in April with a goal of completion by summer, subject to council approval and public‑works scheduling.
Why it matters: The Onagawara and garden refresh are visible public‑realm projects requiring interagency coordination and city council cost approval. Commissioners said they want the public to see the restoration during the art‑walk display and will track the council’s scheduling.
What’s next: The sister city commission will take the package to city council for approval; staff and public works will coordinate installation timelines and public notifications.
