City of Saratoga
Memorandum
To: Saratoga City Council
From: Michael Fossati, Planner
Date: April 16, 2013
Subject: Amendments to Alcohol Sales Ordinance
I11 order to correct a misspelling and provide additional clarity within the proposed
ordinance regarding alcohol sales within retail establishments, staff has amended the
following:
o Replaced the word "or" with the word "of" in the definition of "Market ". The
new definition will read as follows (see underlined):
o "Market" means an establishment where more than 2,000 square feet or
25% -of the total floor area is dedicated to food and /or beverage sales for
off -site human consumption, with the exception of a tasting room as
defined in this Article or a lawfully located mobile canteen or other mobile
unit as defined in Article 7 -25.
o Removed a comma between the word "establishments" and "with" in City Code
Section 15- 19.020(a)(1). The new language will read as follows:
o Retail establishments with no more than 40% of the floor area dedicated to
food and /or beverage sales being used to sell beer, wine, or other alcoholic
beverage permitted by a Type 20 License issued by the California
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
• Amended City Code Section 15- 19.020 (b)(3) to state the following (see
underlined):

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR:
GREETINGS FROM MONTALVO!
I'm so pleased you're joining us for one of our stellar
concerts. Whether it's your first or your fiftieth time here,
we welcome you! Your support, in the form of your ticket
purchase, helps us foster what I like to call the "Montalvo
Experience."
What is the Montalvo Experience?
It's stimulating public performances.
One of the pillars of our arts programming is our world -
class concert series. The show you're about to watch
is one of 40 in our 2012 -2013 Carriage House and Villa
Concert seasons. This summer, we will once again host
vibrant outdoor concerts in our Lilian Fontaine Garden
Theatre. Stay tuned for the line -up announcement in the
upcoming months.
It's inspiring arts education for all ages.
Montalvo proudly presents an array of educational performances and curriculum -based
science, literature, and arts programs for children of all ages. At a time when the arts
continue to be underfunded in California, our education programs are an especially vital
community resource. In total last year, our education department served 15,000 students.
June through August, we continue a beloved tradition with our visual and performing arts
camps, featuring over 30 week -long classes. Enrollment is open now!
It's fueled by our world -class Sally and Don Lucas Artists Residency Program.
The creative exuberance of our resident artists permeates all we do at Montalvo. The
Lucas Artists Residency (or LAP), is the oldest of its kind in the United States west of the
Mississippi, and enjoys international renown. Read all about it on the facing page.
It's here for your enjoyment all year long.
Our gorgeous grounds, with miles of hiking trails, and our beautiful formal Italianate
Garden are open to the public 364 days a year! And on view around the estate are
examples of our exciting Art on the Grounds program.
If you're a Montalvo member, three cheers for you! Not a member? I'd like to personally
invite you to engage in a closer relationship with our dynamic institution: visit
montalvoarts.org /membership to learn more.
Enjoy the show!

RESIDENCY PROGRAM
Mission and History
The Sally and Don Lucas Artists Residency Program (LAP)
offers artists from a range of disciplines an environment
conducive to individual and collaborative creative practice.
Seeking to stimulate an energetic exchange of ideas between
culturally diverse Fellows and across varied artistic fields and
scholarly disciplines, the residency has earned international
recognition as a model of curatorial practice supporting the
development of new and challenging contemporary work.
LAP Fellows
Prospective LAP Fellows are identified through an international
nomination process that ensures support for highly qualified
artists with the potential to become major voices in the next
generation of creative thinkers. The residency also seeks to
support underserved artists who might not find their way into
a residency program. Nominated artists are invited to apply for
a Fellowship; all applicants are then juried by professionals in
their respective fields. Selected artists are offered a 1 -3 month
Fellowship. The LAP welcomes sixty artists a year into the
program. Residencies are offered in all contemporary artistic
disciplines including the visual arts, design, literary arts, film,
choreography, performance art, music and composition, as
well as teaching and culinary arts. In fact, the LAP is the first in
the United States to offer an annual Culinary Artist Residency.
The LAP also welcomes artists' collaborators from overlapping
fields, including science, research, and technology.
LAP Programs
LAP Fellows enjoy unique access to the resources of the
Montatvo Arts Center, enabling them to present their work to
Silicon Valley and Bay Area audiences. Engagement with the
general public is encouraged both formally and informally.
Montatvo offers an annual thematic arts program developed
through the LAP. Current and past Lucas Fellows are invited to
respond to the annual theme through exhibitions in Montalvo's
Project Space Gallery, Art on the Grounds program, New
Directions performance series, In Conversation literary events,
Final Fridays public presentations, as well as screenings,
workshops, and outreach. Often these opportunities take the
form of newly commissioned works and projects that engage
both Montalvo's natural and built environments as well as its
diverse communities.

The Sally and Don Lucas Artists Residency Program (LAP) is designed to offer artists from a range

to stimulate an energetic exchange of ideas between culturally diverse Fellows and across varied
artistic fields and scholarly disciplines, the residency has earned international recognition as a

Located amidst a 175 -acre natural landscape, Montalvo was built by the late Senator James
D. Phelan in 1912. Upon his death in 1930, the Senator gifted his beloved Montalvo to the San
Francisco Art Association to be maintained "as a public park [with] the buildings and grounds
immediately surrounding... to be used as far as possible for the development of art, literature,
music, and architecture by promising students." After assuming trusteeship, the Art Association
Montalvo Arts Center
announced their intent to launch an artist residency at Montalvo, the third program of its kind in the
United States. In 1939, Montalvo's residency opened with five artist studios and a small gallery in the
Saratoga, California
historic Villa. At the official opening, Dr- Stephen Pepper, head of the art department at the University
of California, Berkeley stated, "Through the cooperation of artists and the community, Montalvo in
its silence and beauty, will become one of the creative forces of the world."

"I will remember the people

of food to bring people
together and connect them
to the land and each other. I
(leave) with such a deep love
and value of artists and their
contributions to this world."

IThe residency] not only helped me to withdraw
myself from the city living chaos in order to focus my
energy, but also made my physical and mental health
better... I was able to concentrate and let all kinds of
inspiration to come to me."
— WLI FEI, Music Fellow, June -May 2011, Beijing, China
While at Montalvo, Lucas Fellows are granted time for solitary
exploration, creation, research and contemplation, as well as
the opportunity to engage with fellow residents, colleagues,
and the wider community of Silicon Valley. The Program's
international focus fosters a rich cultural and ethnic diversity
that supports a variety of perspectives within a global
framework. Evening dinners, created by the resident Culinary
Artist, provide artists opportunities to participate in stimulating
conversations, exchange of ideas, and develop collaborative
partnerships that extend beyond the residency.
LUCAS PROGRAMS
Lucas Fellows enjoy unique access to the resources of the
Arts Center, enabling them to present their work to Silicon
Valley and Bay Area audiences. Engagement with the general
public is encouraged both formally and informally.
Montalvo Arts Center offers an annual thematic arts program
developed through the LAP. Current and past Lucas Fellows
are invited to respond to the annual theme through exhibitions
in Montalvo's Project Space Gallery and Art on the Grounds
program, New Directions performance series, In Conversation
literary events, Final Fridays public presentations, as
well as screenings, workshops and outreach. Often these
opportunities take the form of newly commissioned works
and projects that engage both Montalvo's natural and built
environments as well as its diverse communities.

On the last Friday of each month, Montalvo offers the public a
sneak peek into the LAP as one Lucas Fellow presents his or
her creative process and work through conversations, lectures,
performances, or demonstrations. These presentations allow
artists an opportunity to reflect on their practice.
"Creative thinking and ideas are so important,
but acting on those ideas makes a Life."

to create a project that makes such a lasting contribution
to society. The impact of this community of artists will
establish Montalvo and Saratoga as a national model for
Artist -In- Residence Communities — providing leadership
and opportunities in the new millennium for artists who will
fundamentally impact the global community."

`Rashomon' debuts on grounds of Montalvo
Sculpted items
engage viewers
BY KHALIDA SARWARI
erspectives have a ten-
dency to shift, and every
time they do, we're com-
pelled to understand things dif-
ferently.
Using that underlying prem-
ise, San Mateo-born contempo-
rary sculptor Chuck Ginnever
created "Rashomon," a sculp-
ture installation that was re-
cently put in place on the newly
replanted Great Lawn at Sara -
toga's Montalvo Arts Center.
Consisting of 15 identical geo-
metric forms that are each about
3 feet tall and made out of bands
of steel, the pieces are grouped
in such a way that viewers must
move through the installation to
get the full picture. The sculp-
ture has 15 different sides and
eight balancing points, and the
pieces are devoid of right angles
and parallel lines.
From one view, the installation
appears to be two - dimensional
shapes with flattened planes, and
from another, it looks like three -
dimensional ob'ects in space.
Ginnever, w o is known pri-
marily for his large -scale ab-
stract sculpture, has created a
piece that is intended to engage
audiences with the notions of
subjectivity and perception.
Visitors are encouraged to move
around the installation slowly
and deliberately to get the full
effect of the art.
The installation is one of the
newest being exhibited at Mon-
talvo and is presented as part
of the center's 2013 Arts on the
Grounds program.
"The piece is really going to
be an exploration for visitors to
PHOTOGRAPH BY GEORGE SAKKESTAD
`Rashomon,' the newest installation for the Montalvo Art on the Grounds program, was created by
contemporary sculptor Chuck Ginnever. Ginnever's work directly engages with notions of subjectivity
and perception, and questions our presuppositions about rationality and universal views.
try and understand what it is—
what's happening there? Is it 15
separate pieces or one singular
shape ?" said Kelly Sicat, direc-
tor of the Sally and Don Lucas
Artists Residency program at
Montalvo. "I think it's a very
nice way to engage our audi-
ences with sculpture."
Sicat said this is the first time
the piece is being exhibited at
the center. Prior to coming to
Montalvo, the piece was on view
at the San Jose Institute of Con-
temporary Art.
"I think this was an oppor-
tunity to present an object of
sculpture on our grounds, em-
phasizing our focus on devel-
oping our sculpture program,"
she said. "This was an oppor-
tunity for us to work with ICA
as a partner and display a work
of sculpture that was more of a
formal sort of style."
"Rashomon" ties in also
to Montalvo's programmatic
theme for 2013 -2014 of wellness
and well being, said Sicat.
The center will hold a celebra-
tion event sometime in August,
when it will screen the 1950 Akira
Kurosawa film that the mstalla-
tion was based on and promote
a dialogue about Ginnever's art-
work.
The film, which depicts a vio-
lent crime through the widely
differing accounts of four wit-
nesses whose testimonies are
mutually contradictory and mo-
tivated by factors such as ego,
is intended to be an exploration
of multiple realities and demon-
strates the inherent unreliabil-
ity of subjective experience.
The Rashomon exhibition will
run through Sept. 15 on the Great
Lawn of the Montalvo Arts
Center, 15400 Montalvo Road
in Saratoga. The grounds of the
center are open for free to the
public daily.

Message From Charlee Wagner, Camp Director
Welcome to Montalvo Arts Center's very exciting spring and summer Education Programs. The
2013 programming exemplifies the ways in which Montalvo stands above the many choices in our
community for arts education, and speaks to the fact that this caliber of programming can only
be found here. New to this summer camp schedule is a robust offering of disciplines, including
visual, theatrical, musical, literary, culinary, digital, and circus arts.
We are also looking at this programming through the thematic lens of Creating Wellbeing
through the Arts. Health, happiness and wellbeing are integral factors to artistic expression.
This summer we will delve deeper into the elements of play, discovery, self - perception and
expression, community building, environmental engagement, and simple enjoyment as a means to developing a
thriving life within the arts.
I came to Montalvo in 2012 after years working as an artist, educator and administrator where my mission has been to
preserve artistic traditions and to foster an evolving arts engagement that retains cultural identity. Having earned a
B.F.A. in Photography and Ceramics as well as a K -12 teaching certification, I have taught both children and adults in
the U.S., New Zealand, Tanzania, and Honduras. I also served as the Art Director of Camp Walden, MI. In addition to my
position at Montalvo, I continue to work in a variety of mediums, knowing by doing the need to create and express.
I am pleased to announce that Camp Program Manager Savoy Stevens will begin her second year with Montalvo this
summer. Savoy is a local artist and educator with a B.S. in Art Education from the State University of New York at New
Paltz. With years of experience in the classroom, she brings vitality and educational vision to our programs.
The Education Department looks forward to seeing you this summer!
