Summary

The commission was told artist Dan Arens has resumed mural work after health issues and that painting at 1001 Fourth Avenue will wait until spring; the commission will seek the building owner’s LLC name to begin an easement agreement with the Village, Simple Truth Chiropractic and Jackson Realty, LLC.

Commission member Nancy Mattson reported that artist Dan Arens has resumed work on a planned mural after a period of health-related delay and that repairs to the building at 1001 Fourth Avenue were completed last fall.

Mattson said painting on the repaired surface was postponed until spring. She will contact the building owner to obtain the owner’s business/LLC name so the commission can begin work with legal counsel on an easement agreement among the Village, Simple Truth Chiropractic and Jackson Realty, LLC.

The commission did not set firm dates for painting beyond the seasonal timing and assigned Mattson the task of obtaining the property-owner information needed to proceed with legal review. The update closed with the board noting the artist’s improved health and the need for an easement before work continues.
