RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to accept a labor donation in the amount of $6,050 to
the City of Rosemount for the painting of a stormwater mural at the Splash Pad, City Hall
Parking Lot and on 145th St W.
BACKGROUND
During her time with the City of Rosemount, Green Corps Member Jes Braun took on several unique
projects. One of those projects was an effort to educate the public regarding stormwater and how people
can reduce pollution. This mural project began early, but with no respondents she continued to seek
avenues to have it completed prior to her departure.
Artist Laura Johnson responded to a flyer she was given and after contacting Jes, Ms. Johnson was selected
as the artist for this work. She has completed murals locally as well as overseas, including one in the
atrium at the Carlson School of Management.
COSTS & FUNDING
Funding for the paint and other materials came from a grant received from the Minnesota Freshwater
Society in the amount of $125 and an equal city match from the Stormwater fund. Ms. Johnson
performed this work pro bono and based on her current rate the estimated cost of that work is $6,050.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council accept this donation and recognize Ms. Johnson for the effort she put in
to these murals.
