BACKGROUND: The Patterson Center is a community center located at 4 NE Arlington Avenue and was rededicated as such in 1963. The original mural was the idea of Mr. Albert Johnson Sr. Ten local high school students were selected to go into the community and interview residents and bring back information and photographs. From the information gathered, the mural was born. The mural depicts some of those community members, the students involved along with local landmarks. The mural was located on the exterior north side of the Patterson Center but was not able to be salvaged prior to the installation of the new siding.
The new mural will be a re-creation of the original mural and painted on thin material that will be affixed to the building on the north side.
EXHIBIT: Proposed Mural Design and Agreement for the Non-Exclusive Use of the Image for Advertising, Education, Publicity & Display Materials
KEY ISSUES: Does the City Council desire to have a mural painted and then attached to the City owned Patterson Center?
FUNDING SOURCE: Parks and Recreation Operating Budget
STAFF RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Approve Double Back Services to recreate the Patterson Center mural and attach said mural to the exterior of the Patterson Center and accept the Agreement for the Non-Exclusive Use of the Image.
