Summary
The city wants a mural celebrating America's 250th birthday on public property, with two candidate locations: the M Street Bridge over Bear Creek and the Public Works Corp Yard in South Merced. The commission committed up to $15,000 — $5,000 less than staff proposed — and let the artist pick the site. It must be done this calendar year to match the anniversary.
