The committee heard a presentation on the “Where the Crow Lights” mural, which was nearing installation. The artist and guests described the project’s focus on Indigenous presence and regional stories, its community consultation, and plans for an informational plaque and QR code. No contract award, funding decision, or procurement action related to the mural was reported. A recreation supervisor also discussed city recreation programs and community partnerships, noting the upcoming biennial budget and the ongoing need to identify funding sources, but no budget allocation or spending action was proposed.

A liaison report covered the Climate Policy Advisory Committee’s discussions of solar roofs, transportation planning, and paid parking. The meeting identified no procurement activity, vendor selection, or purchasing decision.
