On June 23, 2025, the Keystone Heights Community Redevelopment Agency board approved a $19,000 payment to artist Luke Taft for an artistic mural, contingent on an amended deed restriction signed by the building owner, Ray Cunningham. Councilman Dan Lewandowski moved the approval and Vice Mayor Speedy Kussler seconded; “all voted in favor,” and the motion carried.
The board reviewed a draft Mural Agreement and a deed restriction form referenced as part of the action. The city’s materials show the payment would be made to Luke Taft and that owners must sign an amended deed restriction before the project proceeds. The item was presented under the agenda entry titled “Mural Project,” and the vote was taken as part of the CRA action items.
The approval ties the public art payment to property-level documentation intended to preserve the mural as a restricted use of that façade. The transcript lists the motion and the required deed-restriction condition; the agenda files referenced included a draft Mural Agreement and a deed-restriction form. The agenda did not specify a timeline for execution or implementation; those details were recorded as not specified in the meeting materials.
