Fort Pierce redevelopment agency approves $12,000 mural on Orange Avenue
Summary
Redevelopment staff requested CRA/FPRA approval to fund a $12,000 mural by artist Sikki Dogen on Orange Avenue; the board moved, seconded and voted to forward the artist agreement and property‑owner consent to the FPRA board.
Redevelopment staff (Presenter, S9) presented designs for murals on Orange Avenue — specifically a proposed $12,000 mural at 717 Orange Avenue (and a second at 607 Orange) by artist Sikki Dogen — and asked the CRA/FPRA panel to recommend the project to the FPRA board for final approval.
Presenter (S9) explained the artist selection and noted the CRA would pay the $12,000 cost under an artist agreement with the property owner responsible for maintenance. Commissioner and staff members discussed potential sensitivity to neighboring uses (a church on the corner) and whether property‑owner input should be solicited; staff said property‑owner agreements are part of the process and could be solicited if the board preferred.
Presenter (S9) moved the recommendation and Chair (S1) seconded. The board called for a vote and the motion was advanced to the FPRA board with an affirmative voice vote captured in the transcript; the recording does not include a full roll‑call listing of each member's vote.
The agency's next step is for staff to finalize the artist agreement and property‑owner consent and present the package to the FPRA board for formal approval.
