Etna Green signs MOU to advance mural project; installation and community dedication set for July
Summary
The Etna Green town board signed a memorandum of understanding with the tourism commission and project applicant to allow town-managed payment and reimbursement for an Etna Green mural; installation of panels begins week of June 23 and a community dedication is planned for July 12 at 10 a.m.
The Etna Green town board approved a memorandum of understanding that authorizes the town, the tourism commission (CVB) and the applicant to execute payment and reimbursement for the Etna Green mural project. The MOU links a town fund ordinance created in December with the tourism commission so invoices can be paid by the town and reimbursed by the commission.
Project leaders reported a schedule: panels are to be installed the week of June 23, primer work the week of June 30, and mural painting of the panels beginning the week of July 7. A public celebration and completion event is scheduled for Saturday, July 12 at 10:00 a.m.; local donors and volunteers will participate.
Funding for the project was described as a mix of grants and private donations. Meeting participants said two incoming checks were expected: $1,500 from KCCF (a private donor) and $1,000 from All Things Art; the town will pay invoices and then be reimbursed by the tourism commission fund once paperwork is complete. Contractors requested 30-day payment after installation; the town indicated that local payment could be faster than county reimbursement processes.
Board members confirmed the installation method: panels will be mounted on a removable wood framing attached to the building so panels can be removed and relocated if necessary, a precaution to protect both the building and the artwork. The board voted to sign the MOU to move the project forward.
