Commission approves Spokane Arts consultant agreement to move forward to council
Summary
The Parks and Arts Commission voted unanimously to approve an artist-consultant agreement with Spokane Arts (and contractor Karen Mobley) and to forward the agreement to city council; the not-to-exceed amount cited for consultant services in 2026 is $18,000.
The commission voted unanimously to approve moving forward with an artist-consultant agreement with Spokane Arts that would cover 2026 public-art consultant services. Contracted arts consultant Karen Mobley and Spokane Arts executive director Skyler Oberst described a monthly invoicing approach and said billing would be submitted to the city through Spokane Arts.
Staff said the proposed not-to-exceed amount for the consultant work in 2026 is $18,000; the agreement would support public-art selection, subcommittee facilitation and project coordination. The consultant team asked commissioners to identify individuals who might serve on a smaller public-art subcommittee to streamline selection work.
Ending: With the commission's approval, staff will forward the agreement to city council for final authorization and will return to the commission early in 2026 to outline subcommittee needs and selection steps.
