Council accepts $40,000 Bravo mural grant for downtown wall; consultant to help lead RFQ process
Summary
The Windsor Heights City Council unanimously accepted a $40,000 Bravo public‑art grant to design and complete the west‑wall portion of a downtown mural and discussed hiring consultant Liz Legit to run the RFQ and artist‑selection work.
The Windsor Heights City Council voted to accept a $40,000 Bravo grant to support the design and installation of a mural on the west wall of the former dinner‑dispatch property and adjacent facades.
AJ told council the grant was awarded in September and would cover design and completion of the west‑wall portion of the mural project; the city previously set aside urban‑renewal funds to support a related patio and parking scope. Council discussed engaging consultant Liz Legit, who helped draft the city’s public‑art plan, to administer the RFQ and selection process so the city and building owners secure an artist suited to the site and community expectations. AJ said consultant services could be covered through the Bravo grant scope.
Council approved Resolution No. 202605 by roll call; all members voted yes. Staff said a second grant application is pending and could supplement the city’s contribution as the final design is worked out. The motion authorizes acceptance of the Bravo grant and to proceed with consultant‑led RFQ planning and artist engagement under the grant’s scope.
