MTG. 12/14/93 -7 APPROVAL OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND CONSENT JUDGMENT IN THE CASE CITY OF
DEPT. CA CARLSBAD V. ANDREA BLUM
DEPT. HD. -
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the settlement agreement and authorize the City Attorney to execute the consent judgment to settle the case of Citv of Carlsbad v. Andrea Blum.
ITEM EXPLANATION
The City commenced this action for declaratory relief in the Federal District Court on March 18, 1993 in order to determine its rights and duties under both the Federal Visual Artists Rights' Act of 1990 and the California Arts Preservation Act. After the lawsuit was served and filed, settlement negotiations were commenced leading to the attached settlement agreement. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the City would remove the north bars (pursuant to paragraph 5) and relandscape (pursuant to paragraph 6) the Split Pavilion now giving notice pursuant to paragraph 17.
In approximately, five years, the City would hold hearings and decide whether to remove the remaining bars and most of the remaining structure. The city will pay Andrea Blum the sum of $20,000. This settlement agreement achieves a balance between the artist's reasonable expectations for a work of this relatively permanent nature and the City regains the right, after a period of approximately five years, to remove the remaining bars and structure. In the meantime, it is treated like any other public work. The court must approve the settlement agreement as the final step. It is anticipated that the court will do so. The attached agreement sets forth other details in completing the settlement.
FISCAL IMPACT
A lump sum payment of $20,000 to the artist and routine maintenance costs for landscaping, water, power and other items. An unknown future cost, should the City decide after public hearings, to remove the remaining project.

1. Q&. December IS, 1993.
2. Parties. City of Carlsbad, with principal offices at of 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, California 92008-1989 (“CITY”); Housing and Redevelopment Commission of the City of Carlsbad, with principal offices at 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, California 92008-1989 (“AGENCY”) (CITY and AGENCY referred to collectively as “CARLSBAD”); and Andrea Blum % Rohdc & Victoroff, 1880 Century Park East, Suite 411, Los Angeles, CA 90067 (“ARTIST”).
3. Recitalx. CARLSBAD commissioned ARTIST to design a work of art entitled “Split Pavilion” (“WORK”) for installation’ in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California near Ocean Street between Oak and Pine Avenues under an agreement between CITY and ARTIST dated July 10, l987 (“AGREEMENT”), the structure embodying such WORK being completed on February 1, 1992 (“INSTALLATION DATE”). A dispute has arisen between ARTIST and CARLSBAD, ARTIST claiming that she has moral rights under State and Federal laws so that the structure must be preserved, and CARLSBAD taking the opposite position.
CARLSBAD commenced a suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. 93-430 S(M), for declaratory relief (“ACTION”), which ACTION is pending.
4. Purnoses. The parties wish to settle their dispute, and resolve the ACTION by agreeing to a consent judgment in the form indicated at Exhibit A attached hereto (“CONSENT JUDGMENT”). To do so,. they agree to the following courses
of action and covenants.
5. North Bars. CARLSBAD may remove the bars on the North side of the structure (“NORTH BARS”) at any time but must leave the concrete wall on the
North side of the structure intact at least for the duration of the period set forth at Paragraph 7 below. Upon removal of the NORTH BARS, the holes, if any, shall be patched to match the existing concrete, and the cut railing will be
galvanized to match .the end of the railing at the south end according to the specifications set forth at Exhibit B attached hereto. In consideration for the
prerogative under this Agreement (but not the obligation) to remove the NORTH BARS (whether or not CARLSBAD exercises that prerogative), and in consideration
of the waiver of claimed moral rights as applied to the NORTH BARS (mentioned
below at Paragraph 14), CARLSBAD shall pay ARTIST the sum of $10,000 thirty (30) days after the date hereof Al on the first day of the removal of the NORTH BARS, whichever is earlier.
6. Landscabin& If CARLSBAD elects to exercise its rights under Paragraph 5
above by giving notice of such election to ARTIST, CARLSBAD shall also alter
the foliage within the structure (“LANDSCAPING”) by supplementing some of it and
replacing other parts of it with the foliage identified at Exhibit C attached hereto,
according to the planting plan depicted at Exhibit D attached hereto, which shows the LANDSCAPING as it will appear after. CARLSBAD exercises its prerogative and the existing LANDSCAPING is supplemented and replaced. In consideration of the
[carlrbad\cartbad.ag2) 1
Initial here - 4Q
prerogative under this Agreement (but not the obligation) to make the LANDSCAPING changes (whether or not CARLSBAD exercises that prerogative), and
in consideration of the waiver of moral rights in relation to the LANDSCAPING (mentioned at Paragraph 14 below), CARLSBAD shall pay ARTIST the sum of $10,000 forty-five (45) days after the date hereof pi on the first day of the removal and alteration of the foliage, whichever is earlier. In the event that the plants presently selected at Exhibit C prove to be incompatible with the site or with each other or have difficulty surviving in the environment, CARLSBAD may
replace them with other plants having similar qualities in terms of height and appearance, provided that none of the replacement plants shall be more than three (3) feet in height. Moreover, before undertaking any such replacements, ,CARLSBAD shall submit to ARTIST, for her comments, criticisms, and review, color illustrations or other photographic materials showing the new plants to be used along with a proposed planting plan, and shall fully consult with ARTIST in connection therewith, though ARTIST shall not have the right to withhold approval.
