2. Public Comments
Jason Greeley introduced his partner, Stephanie Barrett with Image Mover and proposed
a change to the mural that was originally to be painted at Veterans Freedom Park. Mr.
Greeley and Ms. Barrett proposed using media printing. The design would be created
digitally and a material from Briteline MultiGRIP would be used in which it would
adhere to the surface. The cost for this procedure would run approximately $47,000
versus $66,000 for paint.
Discussion was held regarding whether the product was graffiti resistant and Ms. Barrett
stated she would need to run tests on the material.
