The painting of the northern wall caught me by surprise, as did the phone call I received about it from the media.

...

Plans are underway to paint a new image on the building, and we will begin that process by applying for appropriate permits and submitting our design for approval. When it is time to paint, our intention is to reach out to high school art clubs in the neighborhood and give some young artists an opportunity to work on a piece of public art.

Sincerely,

Does it seem odd to anyone else that it was a "surprise" to her, but she already has a "plans underway" to replace it and how?

Also, did they not have to apply for the permits and design review to paint it all red in the first place?
