Urged the council to freeze the mural RFPs, saying $10,000 per project doesn't cover labor, insurance and materials, and asked for fair standard pay rates for artists.

Asked the council to pause the RFPs, increase budgets, reduce to one mural, or shrink mural sizes so skilled artists aren't losing money.

Said the RFPs are funded over 60% below industry standards, asked for an agendized discussion, a budget accounting since 2022, and public meetings on the $75,000 art allocation.
