Council selects white base for Veterans Park band shell, plans detailed 'Patriot Shield' later
Summary
Council chose a white base paint scheme for the Veterans Park band shell and directed staff to proceed with repairs and lighting upgrades now, with a follow‑up phase to add a ‘Patriot Shield’ detail and ensure the historic plaque remains visible.
Council reviewed multiple AI‑generated paint concepts for the Veterans Park band shell and reached consensus to begin with a white base (option described by staff and shown in packet) and to return later for a second phase to paint a decorative 'Patriot Shield' detail.
City manager and public works staff outlined scope: upgraded lighting, replacement/repair of doors and cracked surfaces, epoxy flooring, and preserving the existing historic plaque. Public works Director Kevin Feldlinger said the work would likely be staged—apply the base coat and trim first, then return to paint the more detailed shield artwork.
Council members favored a brighter white to make the shell stand out downtown and asked staff to ensure any wording or artwork does not cover the plaque. Council approved proceeding with the base paint and directed staff to return with details for the decorative work and an implementation schedule.
