DDA discusses mural program; staff outlines $10K–$15K per-mural estimate and removable-surface preference

Apr 16, 2026

Staff proposed a multiyear mural program that would prioritize city-owned buildings and removable-surface installations. Preliminary budgeting ranged from about $10,000 to $15,000 per mural, with an overall initial estimate (including management and app fees) of roughly $19,150 depending on scope and surface.

The full story

In the work session, a presenter (S9) and DDA staff (S6) outlined a proposed mural program that would start with municipal buildings and prioritize removable or panelized installations so future rotations are feasible. S9 walked through estimated fees for an application platform, a per-application fee, publicity and an e-blast option; S6 and S9 presented a working budget that included a mural cost estimate, traffic-calming allocation and a management fee.
