Summary

Wheaton agreed to spend up to $246,252 with Display Devices, Inc. to install a projection‑mapping system on the Downtown Plaza wall using Arts DuPage grant funds, TIF closures and surplus; staff will propose a display policy for Council review.

The City adopted Resolution R‑2026‑19 to contract Display Devices, Inc. for design and installation of a projection mapping system for the Downtown Plaza for an amount not to exceed $246,252. City Manager Michael Dzugan said the Fine & Cultural Arts Commission recommended the vendor because of the system's brightness, and funding will come from an Arts DuPage grant, closure of TIF 2 and surplus distribution from TIF 3.

Assistant City Manager William Kolschowsky and Councilmembers asked about price differences; Dzugan said brightness was the decisive factor. He also confirmed staff will return with a policy for Council to evaluate displays and that the city intends to partner with local colleges and schools to program artwork for the installation ahead of the America250 celebration.
