Item 5E Item 5E:
Authorize placement of Longhorn Stampede public art fixtures in City parks as part of the Southlake 50th Anniversary celebration
City Council, at their April 18, 2006 meeting requested an overview of the proposed placement locations of the longhorns and calves within City parks
The Southlake Stampede Committee has identified 100 potential locations for the placement of longhorns and calves within six (6) City parks
The locations provided represent a maximum placement alternative assuming the program is completely successful with sponsorships for all 100 longhorns and calves with no placement on
sponsor locations
Not anticipated as currently there are approximately twenty (20) sponsored art pieces and the potential for placement on private property
Sponsor requests to be placed in a specific park may be met assuming space available within the requested park and site selection process is not circumvented
58 “Primary” locations and 42 “Secondary” locations have been identified within these six parks:
1. Rustin Park (7 Primary and 10 Secondary)
2. McPherson Park (10 Primary and 8 Secondary)*
3. Bicentennial Park (13 Primary and 9 Secondary)
4. Noble Oaks Park (16 Primary and 5 Secondary)
5. Bob Jones Park (8 Primary and 10 Secondary)
6. Central Park (4 Primary)*
* Pending City Possession
Those not located on private property will have their longhorns or calves placed in a Primary location on a first-come, first-served basis based on the date payment is received
Order of Placement:
The first 7 sponsored longhorns or calves will be placed in the 7 primary locations within Rustin Park
The next 10 sponsored will be placed in the 10 primary locations in McPherson Park
Then the longhorns/calves will be placed 5 at a time rotating through Bicentennial, Noble Oaks, Bob Jones and Central Parks, until all primary spots are filled
Once Primary locations are filled, the secondary locations will be filled 5 at a time in all parks
