COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS
Council Member Larson expanded on her comments regarding murals given during
Consent Item No. 21 . She further emphasized long-term maintenance of the murals,
permissions to photograph and determining ownership artwork, conflict between refusing
historic features but not paint, setting guidelines and seeking neighborhood input. Ms.
Larson suggested this topic be discussed at the August City Council goal setting session.
Council Members Jones, Del Toro, Shaw and Rios offered similar opinions adding that
seeking public input on artwork might be dicey, concerns over materials used, taste with
content, defining a review process and defining ownership and the maintenance
responsibilities. Mayor Buol stated that the City has no jurisdiction as it deals with private
property issues even with historic buildings.

There was consensus among the Council Members present to referto staff to consider
a future work session on the topic and include the Arts and Cultural Affairs Advisory
Committee.
Council Member Shaw requested that the Fair Housing matters raised during Public
