STAFF REPORT <br />DATE: August 14, 2025 <br />WORKSHOP <br />TO: Mayor and Councilmembers <br />FROM: Nicole Miller, City Administrator <br />AGENDA ITEM: City Center Wall Art <br />CORE STRATEGIES: <br />☒ Vibrant, inclusive, connected community ☐ Efficient, reliable, innovative services <br />☐ Responsive, transparent, adaptive governance ☐ Balanced Finances now and future <br />☐ Managed Growth ☐ Resilient Infrastructure <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The City Center project was completed in 2023. City hall staff moved into the building July 7, <br />2023 and fire department staff moved in on July 14, 2023. Currently we do not have a plan in <br />place for adding art to the interior walls on the City Hall side. The fire department recently <br />completed a historical display project in their portion of the building, which was funded through <br />donations and the fire department equipment and project fund. <br />ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: <br />Would the City Council be interested in moving forward with a plan for wall art in the City <br />Center? <br />Would the City Council be interested in starting a community art program to display local art on <br />the second floor of the City Center? <br />DETAILS/ANALYSIS: <br />Staff have worked with an Interior Designer with Leo A Daly as well as a Special Projects <br />Manager with the Art Resources Gallery to come up with wall locations and wall art options. <br />The ideas presented are to help with the conversation, however we can incorporate other ideas <br />from the Council as well. <br />This conversation focuses on the common areas on the first floor including council chambers, <br />community room, service counter and small conference room (Lake Jane). On the second floor <br />the areas we focused on are the lobby mezzanine, wall near service counter and small conference <br />room (Lake DeMontreville). The City Center was designed with lighting to display wall art in <br />the lobby mezzanine area.
