City staff told the Torrance City Council that each council member selected a utility box in their district and that the first six boxes — one in each district — will be wrapped with graffiti‑ and weather‑resistant artwork.

City officials described the project as a public‑art initiative intended to increase the aesthetic vitality of neighborhoods and make public spaces more inviting.

A staff member said the city is working with an outside company to apply the wraps and that the materials are graffiti resistant and weather resistant. "It's a really exciting program because public art really, increases the aesthetic vitality of the community, and it just makes neighborhoods more fun," the staff member said.

The staff member said the first six boxes are sponsored by the city and that council members chose artworks for the boxes in their districts. The staff member did not specify the company name, the cost of the wraps, or a timeline for installation.

The staff member also did not specify whether council approval of a contract or funding allocation would be required before installation.
