Subject: Paint the City
At the May 16, 2022 Public Art Commission meeting, the Commission approved a
process for implementing its ambitious Fiscal Year 2022/23 Work Plan. One of the
key elements of the implementation process included formation of subcommittees
that would meet outside of the Commission’s regular meetings to develop a
recommended plan or program to be presented to the Commission and if necessary,
to Council, prior to implementation.
One of these committees was formed to guide the implementation of the Paint the
City program, including site recommendations. The City Council approved
description of the work effort as well as the implementation schedule approved by
the Commission is below. During the meeting, staff will provide a description of the
Paint the City program and prospective utility box locations for the next cycle.
Paint the City
Continue the Paint the City utility box painting program starting in fall/winter 2022
and consider the addition of non-City owned utility boxes. Once locations are
identified and authorized by the City Council, residents age 10 and older would be
invited to submit conceptual artwork for utility box locations. The Public Art
Commission would then review conceptual artwork and select up to 3 options per
location. The top 3 selections would be posted o nline for public voting where
residents can engage in the process by selecting their favorite conceptual design per
location. After the close of voting, the Commission would make a recommendation
on artwork to the City Council. Selected artists receive a stipend of $600.
