Galen,
I talked with our City Attorney the other day about the mural - what we'd accept for security or status info prior to
final site plan approval I occupancy, etc. He said that since it is the school district and since this isn't a typical
public improvement project, he thinks we can dispense with the usual process of taking money as. security until
the project is completed to the satisfaction of the City.
Instead, he recommended the following prior to any occupancy:
1. An explanation of who will oversee the mural project (artist, art teacher, etc.) and why they are qualified to
do so
2. A substantiation of the cost of the mural (materials, time cost, etc.)
3. Timeline for the mural project
4. Conceptual proposed design & specs (i.e. size)
5. A letter from the School District stating that the district will paint the mural within the proposed timeline in
a=rdance with City policies and the DRC2008-00018 Site Plan Review Decision.
He (the City Attorney) will review this info when it is received to make sure it is a satisfactory assurance that the
mural will be painted.
I sent an email to Carrie Schindele-Cupples, the City staff contact for the Springfield Arts Commission, about
whether the District could apply to them for any kind of support, funding, or maintenance for the mural- I haven't
heard back from her yet, but when I do, I will forward the info onto you. I highly recommend the District
coordinate this mural project with the Arts Commission in whatever way possible.
One other thing, I was told that the District should talk with David Bowlsby in Building about whether a sign permit
will be needed to paint the mural.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
