-PDBM/FXT PUBLIC ART

City staff and the contractor came up with the designs without input from the committee, which advises the city on public art projects. Mike Kasperzak, Chris Clark and John McAlister were the only supporters of the VAC’s proposal, which was defeated in a 4-3 vote. “I think the natural environment is art in itself,� said council member Margaret Abe-Koga. “I’m happy to leave off parks and trails.� Expressing a similar view, council member Jac Siegel criticized the art piece the city commissioned for the western entrance to Shoreline Park at the north end of San Antonio Road. “We’re in the middle of a bird wildlife sanctuary and we put up a bunch of cast-

again — this time with a group of friends. At about 3:05 a.m. that morning, a van pulled up to a Google building at 1565 Charleston Road, Thompson said. Someone using Hernandez’s badge tried to unlock a door, but the badge had been deactivated. The burglar apparently managed to convince a janitor to let him in by flashing his ID card and

The security team called police and then obtained the cell number of the man inside — calling him and convincing him to come out without a fight. Thompson said the three men in the van were arrested, in addi-
city’s new Mariposa park at the west end of Dana Street “is delightful� despite being “not embellished with art. There’s lots of little plaques and little additions that make it look thought-through and loved and beautiful.� All the city needed was “a really good team saying, ‘How can we make this place delightful?’� To other members, it seemed that the visual arts committee could help with such things. “Who is going to define art?� said council member John McAlister. “A gateway to a park, that could be art. We should leave that interpretation to our committee. How does it hurt our city to have art?�
