The Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety on June 25 approved a logo for the city’s designated outdoor refreshment area, commonly called a DORA, which staff said is planned to go live in July.

Amber, who presented the design to the board, told members, “You should have a copy of the DORA logo. If you are not aware, the logo is for the designated outdoor refreshment area that we plan to have go live, July. So we have any questions. I'm happy to answer them, but it did state in the ordinance that council put forward that we need a board of works approval for the logo.”

Board members voted in favor of the logo by voice; the design will be used on signage in permitted areas and will be posted on the city website (muncieindiana.gov/dora), the presenter said. The board confirmed it had received authorizations from the Muncie Police Chief and Muncie Fire Chief for DORA operations as required by the underlying ordinance.

The approval was procedural: the ordinance that created the DORA requires the Board of Public Works and Safety to approve the logo. No design revisions or implementation timeline beyond “go live in July” were recorded in the meeting remarks.
