Commissioner George Gault reported a local artist, Myles Woods, submitted a quote of $6,825 to paint the mural, which Gault said covers \"time painting materials and necessary lift.\" Gault and other commissioners said the palm tree in front of the mural will obstruct the work; Gault noted a city estimate to replace the tree is about $1,200 and said the city may not approve removal.

The chair said the mural proposal \"was presented at the last city council meeting and it has been approved by the city manager,\" and commissioners discussed returning with final cost figures, including the artist's total and any tree removal cost. Members agreed Esteban, the city liaison, would circulate updated numbers to commissioners and that the subject should be placed on the next MPAC agenda if further action is needed.

No formal motion or vote on the mural itself was recorded at the meeting. Commissioners also discussed coordinating with city staff (Nick) for final pricing and protective coatings and noted the project is expected to be a visitor draw along Mesquite Boulevard and Sand Hill.

The commission deferred further decisions until staff can provide a final total for the artist contract and any tree-removal costs; the item will be carried to a future agenda for more formal action if needed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Mesquite Public Arts Commission Meeting Feb 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners discussed a proposed mural for the theater, a local artist's increased quote, concerns about a palm tree obstructing the artwork and next steps to finalize costs.

Commissioner Mitzi Bender introduced the project, saying she had been contacted by a playwright-producer whose work had been staged in the Las Vegas area and that the piece \"has the capability of closing a chapter, I think.\" Bender told commissioners she has \"a budget that I can show, what we need is fundraising. I know that we don't do fundraising, but I'm hoping to be steered in the right direction, our committee.\" She said the playwright would likely direct and that bringing him to Mesquite would be a major expense.

The commission approved a motion that \"MPAC support this project and that, we help spearhead a committee to help Mitzi along.\" The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. Commissioners volunteered to serve; the commission noted that, as a public body, committee membership must follow open-meeting limits (no more than three commissioners on an ad-hoc committee).

Bender described the planned production schedule: auditions in March, rehearsals beginning in mid-August and a run in October consisting of six performances over two weekends, with additional shows possible if ticket demand warrants. She said the production would use local performers and technical staff through the Mesquite Community Theater and that organizers hope to partner with local veterans groups and mental-health providers.

Commissioners suggested community outreach steps and contacts. Commissioner George Gault recommended consulting Al Littman and Steve Reynolds — both identified as contacts with local veterans organizations — to help with marketing and veteran engagement. Commissioners agreed the playwright should meet with local veteran representatives during planning.

The commission directed the new committee to gather details — including a cost breakdown and potential mental-health partners — and return to MPAC with recommendations before any financial commitment by the commission.

Votes at a glance: The commission approved the consent agenda (Feb. 10 agenda and Jan. 13 minutes) by voice vote at the start of the meeting. Later the commission approved the motion to support the veterans play and to form a steering committee. No votes were recorded against either motion.

The committee will report back to MPAC with a budget and partnership proposals; if MPAC needs to allocate funds or take further action, that will be placed on a future agenda.","The Mesquite Public Arts Commission voted to support a planned six-show production about Vietnam veterans and to form a three-member committee to work with Commissioner Mitzi Bender on fundraising, veteran outreach and mental-health partnerships.","actionData","errors"]
