Red Bud council approves mural on 1855 building and adopts Ordinance 1549
Summary
Council accepted a proposed mural for the 1855 building and voted to adopt Mural Ordinance 1549; members clarified that lighting may be added to murals and suggested limiting mural permissions to commercial buildings in ordinance language.
The Red Bud City Council voted to accept a proposed mural on the 1855 building and to adopt Mural Ordinance 1549 after brief discussion about ordinance language and allowable features.
During committee reports the council approved the proposed mural on the 1855 building. On the ordinance, a council member asked whether lighting was part of the mural package; staff confirmed that electric or lighting to illuminate the mural could be added. A second council member suggested tightening the ordinance wording so that mural wall decorations are limited to commercial buildings generally, instead of restricting murals only to Market and Main Street. That amendment language was discussed as a recommendation during the meeting.
Council members then moved and seconded final approval of Ordinance 1549 as amended in committee; both motions carried on roll call.
Ordinance 1549 will appear on the city’s ordinance register under the title “Mural Ordinance 1549.” Staff indicated standard follow‑up steps for implementation and any permitting or signoffs required for mural installation (electric work or lighting would require separate permits if needed).
