Commission directs artist to proceed with option C wrap for municipal parking garage
Summary
After reviewing multiple color and layout options for the new parking garage wrap, commissioners followed the artist’s recommendation and directed staff to develop option C (predominant green palette) while integrating the town‑center logo and school/kids involvement on secondary surfaces.
The commission picked a design direction for the municipal parking garage after a presentation by the selected artist and discussion among commissioners.
Artist Alex Mahadis explained the wrap process — the artwork is finalized, high‑resolution images are produced and a wrap company will install the graphics; columns and internal garage surfaces could feature student artwork using the same color palette. Commissioners debated three options (A, B, C) focusing on visibility from Sunset Drive, logo integration and the ability to roll the palette into future public art. Members favored a more uniform color approach the artist described as option C, while asking staff to ensure the city’s town‑center logo is integrated legibly.
Vice Mayor Brian Corey and other commissioners said the greener uniform option would be easier to extend to future projects; one commissioner preferred option A for contrast but ultimately supported the artist recommendation. The commission asked staff to have the manager and artist refine logo placement and return final high‑resolution wrap art for administrative approval.
What happens next: Staff will finalize the chosen artwork with the artist, prepare the image for the wrap vendor and include student art for interior surfaces; the city manager will return with final mock‑ups and production steps.
