The program will be repainting the first three murals this fall. There is funding to repaint once, and future maintenance will be based on future funding. There were concerns about the quick deterioration and the murals making an area seem rundown. The Board brought up the possibility of using more long-term materials to meet some of the same goals. Ms. Kelso shared that paint and plastic delineators are a lot quicker and cheaper, and due to flood planes in many intersections, the temporary measures are typically more successful. F)ASPHALT ART MURAL DESIGN REVIEW Ms. Martin presented the next mural design proposal to be painted in the Alta Vista Neighborhood through the FC Moves Asphalt Art Mural Project. There were questions about the timing of the mural and if weather can delay installations. Ms. Kelso shared if temperatures are below 55 degrees the install can be delayed to the next weekend. Due to the grant cycle and the length time that it been in development with the neighborhood, it isn’t ideal to move to spring.
