Summary

During public comment Doug Elmore suggested the town invite school art students to submit designs for the Civic Center mural and display unselected work in the lobby, providing a rotating showcase and student opportunities.

Doug Elmore (1335 Laurel Oak Drive) spoke during public comment to encourage the town to work with local schools and art students when selecting a Civic Center mural. He suggested the council consider student submissions and rotate artwork in the lobby so more students have opportunities to be displayed.

Elmore said local student artwork seen at community events like Artscape is high quality and could be used both for the permanent mural and for rotating lobby displays. He did not request a specific action but urged staff and the council to consider outreach to schools as the Civic Center design advances.
