The commission on July 28 voted 5-0 to forward an ad hoc Measure P proposal to the Measure P Oversight Committee. The proposal seeks funding for a three-year pilot program to create asphalt and mural-based artwork at selected street sites across Vallejo's six council districts, pairing youth summer programs with traffic-calming design. Vice Chair Vidor moved the motion and Commissioner Allen seconded it; the motion passed unanimously.

The ad hoc proposal outlines a three-year timeline: a planning year for community outreach and site selection followed by two summers of youth art camps that would design and install murals at multiple district sites. The proposal includes line items for teaching-artist stipends, youth stipends, materials, a mobile art studio and meal costs. Commissioners and staff emphasized the need for a clear maintenance line and coordination with Public Works to ensure that installed art is durable and not a traffic hazard.

During debate commissioners raised specific budget questions: draft materials estimated a base total (proposal packet) and commissioners asked for firmer cost estimates, a defined maintenance reserve and procurement details for vehicle or mobile-studio rentals. Commissioner Thorson and others suggested adding pilot-language to the motion so the oversight committee treats the project as a time-limited demonstration with evaluation criteria.

Public commenters, including the lead organizer for a separate but related North Vallejo cultural activation, expressed concern their submitted proposals be considered and said they wished to coordinate timelines. Commissioners responded that standalone community proposals could still be brought forward and noted the Measure P timeline and contracting constraints make immediate October events unlikely; funding would likely be available on a later schedule if approved. The motion forwarded the ad hoc plan as a pilot for Measure P consideration and asked proposers to refine the budget and maintenance assumptions prior to committee review.
