Staff: Art in Public Places fund at about $761,000; mural maintenance under review

Staff presented an overview of the Art in Public Places Fund and recent maintenance for the Bridal Equity Art Mural. The most recently recorded balance for the prior fiscal year was described as "approximately 761,000"; staff said updated figures will be available after the finance department closes out the latest fiscal year and that a formal fund report will be presented at a future meeting.

Staff also described maintenance needs for the downtown mural: resealing is part of a maintenance plan (reseal every two years) and routine cleanings cost about $3,000 per visit. Staff said they are exploring a contracted cleaning schedule that could include 8–10 cleanings per year depending on events and weather.
