Council approves $20,000 mural contract for liquor‑store wall, funded by regional arts grant
Summary
The council approved a $20,000 contract with artist Taylor Shaw to paint a mural on the liquor‑store wall, funded by an East Central Regional Arts Council grant; staff set a target window for wall prep and completion in time for a June dedication.
The city approved a professional services agreement with artist Taylor Shaw to paint a mural on a liquor‑store wall for $20,000; staff said the project is funded through a grant from the East Central Regional Arts Council and staff already has the grant check on hand.
Staff asked for an updated timeline and suggested the mural be completed for the June 21 dedication and recommended that the wall be readied by June 1 so the artist can schedule work; the artist requires a 30% deposit to begin pre‑design work, with the remaining balance payable upon completion. Council discussed wall preparation needs (tuckpointing, paint stripping and moisture cure time) and staff said funds exist in a building fund for necessary repairs. The contract was approved and staff will coordinate final schedule, public input from the ongoing survey and wall preparation work before the June dedication.
