Sep 16, 2026

The commission reviewed submissions and the application process for utility‑box art (including $200 design stipends and about $700 printing/installation costs) and voted to approve a utility‑box design by Stacy with requested edits and a planned location near Chemawa/Mulally.

Chair Laurie told a resident that Dawn is the contact point for proposals and that the commission could solicit themes or call for artists for specific boxes.
