Volunteer group seeks permission to paint community-garden shed with local artist's mural
Summary
Presenters told the committee they have privately funded a three-sided mural for the community garden shed by local artist Natalie Warmouth and asked for committee feedback; presenters said there is no cost to the town and maintenance will include a weatherproof clear coat.
Presenter pitched a volunteer-funded mural for the Leslie community garden shed and said the project would cost "0 expense to the town." The artist, Natalie Warmouth, provided three design options that would cover three sides of the existing green shed with local fauna and garden motifs, and the group proposed moving two donor plaques so the artwork is visible.
Committee members praised the designs and confirmed Warmouth has local ties to the area (Dillon Valley/Silverthorne). Questions focused on maintenance and vandal-resistance; staff said the artist applies a weatherproof, UV-proof clear coat and the garden group would handle touch-ups if needed. "There is no cost to the town," the Presenter said, adding that the garden committee has the funds to cover the work.
The group requested informal approval to schedule the artist as soon as her calendar allows; one committee member asked staff to confirm whether the artist's contract includes any maintenance obligation. The committee did not take a formal vote at the meeting but indicated support to move forward pending confirmation of the schedule and a brief follow-up on maintenance responsibility.
