STAFF LIAISON REPORT
4. Mr. Veramay gave an update on the Canal Arts mural project. The City is awaiting a final
design proposal from The Canal Arts, as well as a letter of support from the Federated Indians
of Graton Rancheria. Additionally, our Department of Public Works identified water intrusion
damage to the wall where the mural is proposed. We are assessing required repair work, so the
project is on pause. Once these items are resolved, we will route the proposal to City Council for
review.
Falkirk Staff is in the process of developing a Request For Proposal (RFP) and expect to
release that RFP in the coming months. Staff plan to bring proposals to the Public Art Review
Board for review at their next regularly scheduled meeting in October 2023.
The California Arts Council awarded the DSRAD a one-time ~$670,000 grant award for a three-
year term. The City is a partner agency of the DSRAD and is acting as the Fiscal Agent for the
grant award. The partnership has received the grant funding and is in the process of assessing
next steps to begin working on the scope of work identified in the Grant.
The City is starting to assess and catalog suitable locations for public art installations to better
inform future proposals. This will include both indoor and outdoor spaces and will be a living
document, which may help inform future Requests for Proposal processes or other City led
efforts to encourage more public art proposals in the future.
Mr. Veramay went through the upcoming meetings and events of interest.
Public Comment: None

stake holders and they are deciding the best way to move forward by establishing a
501C3 and a strategic plan.
