Chandler, County Administrator ) <br />From. Thomas W. Frame, General Services Director - ;Z d � <br />Subject: Request by the Coalition for the Thompson Elementary School Mural to <br />Paint a Mural in the Main Library <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Attached, please find a letter from the Coalition for the Thompson Elementary School Mural. <br />They are requesting permission to paint a mural on the north wall of the east lobby Ms Mary <br />Powell, director of Library Services, has been consulted and has no objection. <br />The mural is the collaboration of the Design Committee of Main Street Vero Beach, two <br />accomplished artists, Liz Bech-Larson and Caui Lofgren, and the students of Thompson <br />Elementary Art Club. The students were then taken on a fieldtrip to downtown Vero Beach. <br />The students made drawings of their impressions from that fieldtrip. From the student's <br />drawings an original computerized design was developed reflecting the student's impressions, <br />which is the basis for the mural. <br />For your review, I have attached a color copy of the proposed mural The specific wall is 7 feet <br />high and 36 feet long. The size of the mural could be as long as 21 feet if it were 7 feet high At <br />this time, the final size has not been determined but the wall is sufficient to provide an adequate <br />surface accordingly. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve the painting of the proposed <br />mural as depicted and allow it to be painted on the north wall of the east lobby. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously (4-0, Vice <br />Chairman Tippin temporarily away from the table) approved the <br />painting of the proposed mural as depicted on the north wall of <br />the east lobby of the main library, as recommended in the <br />• <br />memorandum. <br />June 4, 2002 <br />79 <br />
