Commissioners agreed to table the vice-chair election until additional applicants are appointed or present, citing a desire to include new and returning members in the selection.

The commission encouraged community members interested in serving to apply through the city’s commission-application page. Staff said they would seek to have prospective members—named in conversation as Dara and others—on board before voting on vice chair at a subsequent meeting.

Commission staff and volunteers scheduled tours for Friday, July 25, and Friday, Aug. 22; both are set to begin at 10 a.m. The meeting point for both tours was described in the meeting as in front of the Canada Theater. The tours will be drop-in only this year; commissioners said registration is not available because of limitations with the parks department. The commission asked staff to promote the dates on the commission web page, social media and through business partners.

On printed materials, staff said the commission’s revised walking-tour brochure layout remains incomplete and will not be available for this summer’s events. Commissioners said existing older brochures will remain available and that the commission will produce and print the revised brochure for use in the foreseeable future.

The commission asked members to help distribute flyers to local lodging and vacation-rental owners once the flyer is finalized; a volunteer offered to hand out printed materials to short-term rental owners and at visitor centers. No formal vote was taken; the discussion was informational.","The commission confirmed two historic walking tours — July 25 and Aug. 22 at 10 a.m., meeting in front of the theatre — and said the updated walking-tour brochure layout will not be ready for the summer season.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6683812,"Commission discusses utility-box and vehicle-wrap projects and a seasonal banner program",1519,527000,2046000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5330436-c3fc510114ef12a31ca2b74e86b0817f&start=527&end=2046","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5330436-c3fc510114ef12a31ca2b74e86b0817f/thumbnail_527000.jpg","/articles/6683812/Sandpoint/Bonner-County/Idaho/Commission-discusses-utility-box-and-vehicle-wrap-projects-and-a-seasonal-banner-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6683812-b8dca11b10767e357d7377b424cd1e34/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195171&Signature=ICFkGY2ybr8oycIMGL49-wHHYuw~WFdI~aTPXoavxUBQK4QiELoEtDMwgnUcx80AhGYuJRMvMAfLoAAUZ-3bPYAYtYKSMsC3EyuFvfr2Ob5SPcecUHJXMoLWgP2cEvC20a0tjyQUegGBoTCv9NTHSv9h1qFnjig-ucOoG8rL2nPH5iMIbVTofL5HPrnPFQTd~-7FF-gQunOsCZMW5e3UOV-9qkSjVonq18B2DUwbU3MylKLUjPW4HCNAvxSS~AowPS5f3440i49bcKntIb-200vN4IYOYHtmMAaHCHFWG~Ie6k2n63q3uMKdhEGcvA5J3unUyUjTOmPpuMvr67jnCw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sandpoint Arts, Culture and Historic Preservation Commission discussed two related public-art initiatives at its July 8 meeting: a planned Big Billy Kenwrap project (wrapping utility boxes and similar surfaces) and a potential seasonal banner program for downtown light poles.

On the wrap project, commissioners said they had considered wrapping two items initially and that ownership of several pieces had simplified planning. The commission reported a vendor quote “a little over $500” per wrap and said wraps can last multiple years; at the meeting staff estimated a useful life of roughly four years for some wraps but noted durability will vary by location and use.

On the seasonal banner program, commissioners reviewed examples and described options ranging from one artist producing multiple seasons to multiple artists rotating through the year. The commission discussed materials and durability—staff cited modern nylon and full-color printing as durable options—and a staff member suggested banners might last five to ten years depending on materials. Commissioners discussed a potential call for art, the option to involve schools or nonprofits, and how a banner program might be funded or timed with other downtown wayfinding and beautification efforts.

Members asked staff to research costs and durability, identify mounting and light-pole constraints, and bring a more detailed proposal to a future meeting. No formal vote was taken; the discussion was informational and preparatory.","Members reviewed planning for Big Billy Kenwrap utility/vehicle wraps (quoted cost a little over $500 per unit) and a potential seasonal banner program; staff will research durability, materials and budget implications.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6683815,"Sandpoint commission reports three public artworks installed; vinyl plaques and QR codes planned",103,214000,317000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5330436-c3fc510114ef12a31ca2b74e86b0817f&start=214&end=317","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5330436-c3fc510114ef12a31ca2b74e86b0817f/thumbnail_214000.jpg","/articles/6683815/Sandpoint/Bonner-County/Idaho/Sandpoint-commission-reports-three-public-artworks-installed-vinyl-plaques-and-QR-codes-planned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6683815-fa688cc3dd1ed2044dfcd89887e70ff0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195171&Signature=CYmgR55EYj-CT7JJ9vMwf0gHgkY5WHOjyVpsajH8o3q0fx5hJoZ-~tcMydJeQVPEtxRN2J6Wojy4eQhJ8sMYBxnq5dP5grwULInvr1mA0n0gjWIbUxmGp6dRBPNSxMeADt9jouwkUTMwD~I1rfKD2Os~-dnjuhyx9Sqb4lCBAdmLHBLqsdmFnO75ZjUFNb2L-bUlM41F1LNYuD9qg~BEVwCmTsTtB1YOvhHP5VpzsiXek6dMK9pp7s34VCCqnZB7xfWfNgEO2K0I23LEZKkIQ5Lpw1ROpAnINohLDEa6a~bjWwlYGqC0CPllBTfebvm1xDM7Zx9KBX4UloZCwqIfNg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its July 8 meeting, the Sandpoint Arts, Culture and Historic Preservation Commission reported that one public artwork had been installed and two others were scheduled for installation the next morning.

Commission staff said the piece installed July 2 was listed in meeting materials as King Pressures by Lee Harris. The commission said two additional works—Skyward Grace by Denny Henson and The Beauty of Duality by Dave Gonzo—were scheduled for installation the morning after the meeting. Commissioners characterized the pieces as temporary selections with display terms of approximately one year.

The commission discussed informational signage for each piece. Staff presented sample vinyl plaques that list the funding source, artist name, and title; the vinyl design also includes a QR code linking to the commission’s arts, culture and historic preservation web page. Commissioners said they would collect public and artist feedback on the vinyl plaques and could later pursue more permanent metal plaques if desired.

Commission members noted one artist originally selected—identified in meeting materials as Kirksey from Maryland—had to decline because of a scheduling conflict following an earlier installation out west; the commission elevated its alternate selection to fill that slot.

The commission agreed to begin planning next year’s public-art call in January to avoid compressed timelines that have complicated recent installations. No formal vote was taken on plaques or the planning schedule at the meeting.","The commission confirmed installation activity for three temporary public artworks and discussed placing vinyl identification plaques that include funding source, artist information and a QR code linking to the commission web page.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6683819,"Sandpoint commission approves acquisition and refurbishment plan for wooden Lake Pendry sign",278,721000,999000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5330436-c3fc510114ef12a31ca2b74e86b0817f&start=721&end=999","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5330436-c3fc510114ef12a31ca2b74e86b0817f/thumbnail_721000.jpg","/articles/6683819/Sandpoint/Bonner-County/Idaho/Sandpoint-commission-approves-acquisition-and-refurbishment-plan-for-wooden-Lake-Pendry-sign","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6683819-6516fa0bfdebae8c0c4b4d6439d72a76/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195171&Signature=C6~DtWAPsUmc2xu5JuQ9nkQFqYiixYd1lhi0CeVRLaom37H-j~JBOeoAT55GJNnDj1Em8jXNd6s-Zp~e6rFlQSpI-3uaPgFsyZVL~~aolTF-z1o-OFJCF9UUCo6FSmnxhVHxUiaXXU-Pif5uZw7PVuXsX54V26nh-17MCO2OWzTHhc5AT2zozMh52eyT5tboSVSpc1mf-fHlQcOJsU6GAqZU33e8cLCUgpxNrEyHtP27pi~05rL5lhMVc6N1ItAxX6wmTIsIaYT~Jp2qcWnaV6ahkGqfvgx3oeXkAKuUi9Jd1FKDWquIdw~0jWlMYpM1ldOFS-nDQrArYmL9-DHvPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On July 8, 2025, the Sandpoint Arts, Culture and Historic Preservation Commission voted to procure a wooden Lake Pendry sign from the local museum, refurbish it and install it at City Park.

Commission members said the sign measures roughly 4 feet by 5 feet, weighs more than 100 pounds and is currently stored behind the museum. Commission members described the sign as in generally good shape but needing surface retouching; members said a broken chain had previously caused it to fall. Commissioners discussed the need for a secure mount—such as a concrete post or footing—at the proposed display site.

Commissioners discussed possible locations including a boat-launch ramp near the Windbag sailboat marina and a city beach sign near the pump house on Bridge Street. Commission staff noted the sign is large enough to require multiple people and vehicle access at the museum’s rear for removal and transport; storing the sign at the city shop while refurbishment is arranged was suggested.

The commission formally moved to procure the sign from the museum, develop a refurbishment plan and pursue installation at City Park. A motion to that effect was seconded and carried without opposition.

Commissioners said they would convene a small volunteer work group to handle repainting and retouch work and would follow up on logistics, storage, and the concrete mounting required for a permanent installation. The commission did not specify a refurbishment budget or a firm installation date at the meeting.

Background: the sign had been on display at the Chamber of Commerce location for many years before removal; commission members said they accepted the sign after the museum indicated it planned to discard or replace the piece.","The Sandpoint Arts, Culture and Historic Preservation Commission approved a motion to acquire a 4-by-5-foot wooden sign from the local museum, plan for its refurbishment and seek a permanent display location in City Park.","actionData","errors"]
