REPORT TO: Mayor Johnson and Kalispell City Council
FROM: Doug Russell, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of a Use Agreement with KALICO for an art installation project
on traffic signal boxes in Downtown Kalispell
MEETING DATE: April 18, 2022
BACKGROUND: At a previous meeting, Council approved a Use Agreement for a first
phase of a project authorizing KALICO to move forward with an art installation project that
allows them to engage the art community in an effort where artists and renderings are selected to
be used to wrap the traffic signal boxes in downtown Kalispell with a vinyl wrap. KALICO has
completed that phase and is now looking at a second phase to complete an additional 8 traffic
signal boxes.
The Kalispell Downtown Plan that has been previously adopted supports efforts of this nature
with the following goals:
5. Create a unique and identifiable image for Downtown Kalispell:
e) Encourage public/private partnerships to fund the creation and display of
public art.
6. Become the epicenter for arts, culture and historic preservation within the Flathead
Valley:
f) Encourage public/private partnerships to fund the creation and display of
art.
Attached is a Use Agreement authorizing KALICO to move forward with the installation and
maintenance of the vinyl wraps on 8 traffic signal boxes.
FISCAL IMPACTS: This project would not have direct fiscal impact as it would be funded
through KALICO and their respective arrangements as identified in the agreement.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Use
Agreement with KALICO for the installation and maintenance of vinyl wraps on 8 traffic signal
boxes in Downtown Kalispell.
