Welcome to the um June, what's today, the 15th, June 15th meeting of the Mesquite Public Arts Commission?

And I think we have a quorum.

Karen, you're here, so we've got four, five.

Okay.

Okay.

Any public comment?

Okay, and looking out at the vast public out in front of us here.

All right, we'll go to consent agenda.

And that's approval of the Monday, May 18th public arts meeting minutes and our June 15th public arts commission meeting agenda.

Public comment.

No discussion and possible action.

No for approval.

Second.

Okay, all in favor.

Hold on one second.

Who uh Steve?

Dave.

And I second Nitsi.

All right.

Okay, so we're done there.

No, we got a call for the vote.

Oh.

I thought I did, but yeah, but then stop.

Okay, vote.

I.

I.

I see.

So we have Karen, Dave, Nancy, and Steve, right?

Yes.

Okay.

And Kaylin.

Okay, administrative items.

Um, I'll turn this over to Kaelin.

Dance mesquite update.

I know Calen had done some research on that.

Yeah.

And just in case anybody forgets, um, I think it was Judy Cole who got this approved at the council that we are going to paint um a little square and a couple dancing, and it was gonna say hashtag dance mesquite and the something like that.

Okay, and K and you Mitzi has a spot, our first spot, because we're looking to do this multiple, and Caitlin got a group of people to get together to find out how much.

So we'll turn this over to Caitlin and turn your little thing on, Caitlin, your mic.

So what I have here at least is that the group that that I've put together and Mr.

Morance, we have seen the site like at least twice.

So we have an idea of like where it's gonna be, whereas like at the theater.

And we have also at least for the paint cost, where we looked into like I can't hear you.

Oh, you can't, oh sorry.

Um closer to the microphone to your okay.

Can you hear me now?

Oh very good.

Oh, yeah, really good.

We we wanted you to have the equivalent.

So yeah, we went to like well, we researched at like Ace Hardware store that the paint at least for like one bucket, it's like $38.

Um Mr.

Roy Lance, he's also like made a sketch of the stencil, and we like place it on like the concrete where we're gonna have it.

And for the but when we went over to the theater, since it's like the square is like awkwardly angled.

Do you you don't so you want it like just facing like flat right?

Not like vertical where the stencil is just like okay, I just need to make that clear because when we tried it, we weren't sure at the time.

Uh it can set like the diamond shape of caddy wampas.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Yeah, just yeah, just make it okay.

Yeah.

And there's like only one location for of this project right now, right?

Just one.

That's it.

Okay.

Because I I have like a suggestion for like other locations, at least just one more, but it's just an idea.

We can also do like the soccer park or like the plaza up at the mes.

We can because they have like really nice squares up there, and they're also like six by six.

So it can also fit.

And they're like really nice.

That we can also do it up there.

And there are like sports that usually do or like that they do up there.

Well, perfect.

So do you have uh you have a dollar amount?

Uh kinda.

I only know about the paint right now, which is just $38.

And you were gonna have were you guys gonna make the stencil, or was there I thought I saw something in your report that talked about um having the stencil made?

Yeah, she just said that that's okay.

Yes, yeah, it's working on that.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Okay, because there's a chance.

So let me ask you this.

Um because some money may have appeared.

Okay.

Okay.

Um that's why I want to find out how much.

Would it be possible to do it red, white, and blue?

Red, red, and blue.

All right, because it's like July is coming up.

So or something somewhere, yeah.

I think would that then triple the the paint costs because you'd have to buy three cans of paint.

Along with with um purchasing the paint.

What are you going to seal it with so that it stays that we have to talk about a sealant?

Um or have you talked about a sealant?

I think we're like still going.

I think we're still figuring that part out.

Okay.

Well, I'll let you know when I do.

Okay, because if we can make it red, white, and blue.

Um, I I think I can get the money for it.

Okay.

Okay.

But it has to be an America 250 theme thing, like so.

Um, that's great if we can get it.

I think that that's a wonderful idea.

And then we have something in the city that's an actual commemorative of that 250 for as long as they the paint, you know, lasts on it.

So it's kind of historic.

Yeah, I think so.

Yes, and and you've got the spot.

So it's approved by the city.

We can move forward.

So Caitlin, I'll bother you.

I don't think we need to come back here and vote or anything.

We're good.

Okay.

Okay.

Caelan, thank you.

Um, so next three point.

Oh, oh, we did our discussion.

Okay.

Um, we want to review our open projects.

Do public comment.

I know there's nobody here, but just okay.

Public comment on open projects.

No, on Calistra.

Oh, okay.

Public comment.

No.

Okay, perfect.

Move on.

Okay.

Now we want to review the open projects.

So we'll start off with public comment.

So I'll walk through these.

The community piano.

And Julie, what I wanted to go through here was um how much we we had we had a thousand dollars from the council, and we have some of that left.

And I just I don't need to know now or anything, but we're probably gonna want to tune it here midsummer or at the end of the summer.

So I just want to I know we have some money left, I just want to make sure how much so and okay, and then and to use that, you'll have to get it just get it approved through council.

Okay, but it's already been approved to use the a thousand dollars.

Oh, oh yeah, and you guys had already used a little like 400 or something, probably more than that, I think.

Okay, maybe 550, something like that.

Okay, okay, we can get that.

Okay, so it's a matter of just coming to you guys for that.

Okay.

Um, I'll let you know where we're at with the suffrage wrap.

Um the Rochelle has finished the first painting, and something else came up, so that's that's not gonna be there for um for July 4th, but the sufferers rep the suffrage wrap project is moving along.

Um, for the love of the game statue, I I need to um talk to the founder.

Um the foundry who's doing that and find out where we're at.

Um, Karen, did you want to talk about the wrap renew renewals?

Sure, can you hear me okay?

Oh, you come across perfect.

Okay.

On the wrap renewals, they um the money that we had in the coffers from the main street grant has been completely spent.

And um I got two sides done on most of them.

Um I was short about three to four hundred dollars, and ended up um when I told um Clark County that she deducted that off the price so that we would come in on budget with the grant money, um, and we could do all the projects we wanted to do with it.

So um they are all completed.

Um I do believe we are completely paid up at Clark County through Morph.

Um, I'm not sure where it sits with getting the funds from Main Street grants um reimbursed to more yet.

Um, you know, because we had a turnover on um treasurer Paul, you know, kind of backed off because of his wife and everything.

And then Ann least has taken over as treasurer, and she's still learning.

So um that part, and we haven't had Morse meeting for a while.

Um, so as soon as we have a Morph meeting, I'll have an update on that.

But pretty much um I'm done with the wraps for now.

Um, I did mention last time that Steve had found somebody else to do printing at J and J.

Um, I did send them emails, um, which is about the only way to contact them.

And I have never received a response.

So at this point in time, I would recommend that um anything we do, we keep on going with Clark County, and especially after they made that um Karen's offer to make a deduction on the price to come in at the grant price.

And Karen, they look good.

Thank you very much.

Okay.

Okay, next talk about Poet Laureate, and we're moving along with our Poet Laureate program.

Our committee who's going to select the poet is Karen.

Um, Don Admondson and Vanessa Gibbink.

Okay, so they're set.

Um, right now we have um one nomination for junior poet laureate, and we have two for adults.

Okay, and I'd like to I guess advertise a little bit more because I'd like to see us have at least three for each.

Okay, but to say we're moving along.

Um Steve, I only got one adult one.

You have another one, or did you send me two?

Um, which one do you have?

Um, I'll check on that and tell you later.

Okay, yeah, because I'll just I've got them all just put it in the mail.

Well, or maybe it got lost Pony Express to uh Wyoming, maybe, you know.

Well, of course.

Okay, any public comment on what I just talked about.

We'll move on to 3.3.

That's a possibility of creating a sister city relationship with Smithers, British Columbia.

And I guess I want to open it.

Well, public comment on that first.

None.

Um, do you guys want to talk a little bit?

I don't know anything about Sister Cities, but um I heard about it and somebody was bragging about how they had that.

I thought, hey, let's give this a try.

I thought of Smithers because they have a community piano.

Otherwise, they're a lot smaller than we are, but I thought that would be interesting.

So anybody?

Um, so um I've had a just a little bit of association with the sister city.

Um, I can't remember the name.

It was a uh city from Japan.

Uh was a sister is the sister city Salt Lake City, Utah.

Um, and so they they trade art, they trade uh presence being present in one parade or another parade.

So there's a cost involved in um you know, doing those appearances in one place or another.

Uh and then you just share the cult find ways to share each other's cultures, and so that's very interesting.

Also, um, what about uh city like in Kenmore, Kenmore, Washington that have they have a real nice art arts program there as well?

Um, I don't know about the public piano, but I guess that um you know uh it it it's nice that the city is outside of the United States.

Do you know people there?

Any people in Smithers?

Uh-huh.

No, I've been there and I really like it, but then again, I sent an email to the mayor and I have heard back, and it's been about a week.

So I'm not so do we need do we need the council to approve something like this?

Julie, can you find that out?

I that was my question was is if it was going to involve um if it was gonna involve like funds to you know, transfer art, the you know, those kinds of things, expend expenditure of funds.

Um as a sister city, I would imagine the city council would need to approve that.

So they I think part of it is that they have a presentation and they actually give the sister city a key to the city, you know, those those kind of ceremonial things.

Okay.

Is that what was your vision?

I I was just throwing it out there.

I thought it sounded pretty cool.

I'd tell you where I've seen sister cities is when you drive in to a city that the sign will say sister city with da-da-da.

I just thought it might kind of be a cool idea, and it would be an art thing.

Okay, yeah, I think it's something worth pursuing.

And there have to be I mean, Canada's interesting just simply because our art tends to be a lot more southwest and you know that kind of thing.

And I would imagine their art is quite a bit, their art scene is probably quite a bit different than ours.

And so, you know, if it's not them, then there's got to be community, I would think somewhere up in that part of the world that would want to be.

So Julie, do you think do we need to find somebody first?

Or do we need to bring this up?

I mean, because it's not just art, there's other things that we might want to be.

I would actually have maybe you talk with city manager and see if it's something that she's interested in doing before you guys put all the work into it.

And then if she agrees, then maybe she has some background in it.

Yeah.

So I would maybe have your the chair or that's you, right, Steve?

Yes.

You want to sit with her and see what her uh what her opinion is on.

I'll I'll I'll reach out to her.

Okay.

Um no public comment.

Um we're not going to review our MPAC 3.4, we're not gonna review the fine financials today.

Um 3.5 is update on community battle of the bands proposal, and I think Mid see that she.

Yes, okay.

So I met with the um two band directors from Jimmy Hughes Middle School and Virgin Valley High School, and we met on June 1st and discussed the whole proposal and possibly bringing it to fruition uh in 2027.

Now, what the takeaway was we would like to have I don't know if I can request uh this from the um IT department of the city, but we would like to create a Google forum that goes out to the entire community, okay, for this project, because the project is actually divided into three different sections the preparation, the practice, and then the performances.

So it's quite a big big to do and needs lots of city cooperation and volunteers, and of course, this is the whole point of it, you know, is that is getting the community involved in this battle of the bands.

And um, so so first of all, we would like to do a Google survey, and um, and then second of all, I said, well, what would you really like to see in this in the city that would help you further your band programs and your music programs?

They said it would be nice if there was a music store in Mesquite that sold reads and sheet music and all of the all of the things that you need to you know keep your band and your equipment going.

It's it's quite a big a big deal.

And um so I I thought you know, that might be interesting to uh put on the Google forum and circ when we circulate it and just put it out there.

Um the other thing would be that for the six weeks while the uh the groups are all practicing in their little bands.

See the idea would be that there would be a community director, musician, you know, maybe someone who used to to play when they were young, an adult person, and they would kind of be the mentor of these young young kids that the age would range from eight years old to 18 in these bands, but we would need a practice hall or a practice room of some kind because we would have to rent a drum set, and uh we could all we could have them sign, it could be through the summer so they could sign up for practice times in the practice room, you know, have it open seven days a week or six days a week.

So we need we need that kind of a facility as well, which would you know, maybe someone would come forward and donate some space.

I know we got lots of offices that aren't being rented right now, and you know, we could work something out with somebody, but again, it it's to you know, this Google Google questionnaire that would go out, and so that's what we talked about.

Uh, we're still excited about it.

I know that um Ashley Centers, who brought the project to me, and then I brought it to MPAC.

Um she is still contacting uh, she has contacts with people in in the state government, and I'm not sure exactly what it is, but they're still all talking about it, want to come and see it.

Um watching how we put it together as a community.

So um that's my report.

Mitzi, do you want to um head a committee and let's move forward with this?

Um yes, but I want the first thing I want I to in order to get a committee is to get the Google form, the Google survey out, and that's how I would get the community committee.

Does that make sense?

No, I'm confused because don't we wanna we're gonna announce and we're gonna announce battle of the bands, and then the Google form would be out if you want to sign up, right?

No, no, no, the Google form comes out to get the sign up for all of those who are interested to be teachers, provide uh uh space, uh do marketing, um all of this.

This would be and so to see if we can even got people to do all of this.

So that's my vision.

Okay.

The Google form would be to try and find the volunteers.

Yes backwards.

Um, I think we need to announce it, and is this something we need to go to Becca with the city manager to talk about you if you want to host it, um use the um and use the city IT guy to whip something up.

Is that do they do that for people?

I don't know.

Um, and then of course, then we would take it and Ashley would probably uh Ashley Centers would probably take it then, and she and I would put it out to the paper and the marketing and just just cover the whole the whole outer communities with this idea.

So I think you guys have a section on our web site that's marked impact.

I think that we could put it on there.

I don't know that our IT would develop it, but I think if you guys developed it, we could put it on there.

Would Frank would you well?

So I'm looking, oh so what I'd be looking for is the IT guy that can write it and maybe do it on his own time, her on her own time, and I'll pay him to do it or something.

You know, here's this whole art thing, it's always free.

Yeah, you do art stuff, it's free.

No, I have a comment.

Okay, we are part of the city.

So um, in a lot of ways, um, I think if you meet with Becca and the city manager and get her on board with this, that you know the city resources are also we are a city resource.

Right, we are part of that.

That was my thinking, the resource okay, but I think you we need to go through the proper channels, and I think it needs to start with going to our city manager first now that we have one in place.

Okay, I I certainly can do that and make a an appointment with her and talk through it and get some guidance, you know.

Very good.

Okay, do we need to, and Julie, I guess I'm asking you to move forward with Battle of the Bands proposal.

Do we need to um vote on this as an action I don't?

Yeah, okay.

I I I make a motion that we appoint Mitzi the lead on this, the committee chair, and she puts together a group to propose a battle of the bands event in Mesquite.

I'll second that.

All in favor.

Aye.

Aye.

Karen.

I okay, thank you.

I will say this that if this were to be successfully done, and you were gonna bring in, especially if it were gonna be promoted not only inside but outside of mesquite surrounding areas, it would bring people to musquite, it would become an event.

And so you might want to also include members of obviously our um casino tourism industry um as part of this as well.

It might be something that perhaps they if it was hey, we're gonna there will be a thousand people in town because there's gonna be 20, 30 different bands, and if it's if it's a band, again, there's all kinds of different kinds of types of bands from marching bands all the way through, but if it's a band that has followers, um, you know, that's already exists in say Cedar City or somewhere, and it's it's it's it's a band that has followers.

Um you will get people that will travel a little bit for that, you know, the 20 or 30 people that that sort of follow the band around and stuff.

So again, just kind of my if you could involve the tourism people, they might get behind it and see some value in it as well.

I think this could be as big or as small as you want it.

No, um one other point is that the whole idea is to encourage private lessons so that all of these children who want to master uh an instrument have an opportunity to take private lessons, which there really isn't a lot happening that way in Mesquite.

And but we're growing the children need it, and then this puts more people, this builds the programs at the schools at the school level, you know.

And uh, you know, not that everyone's gonna be uh trombone shorty or uh you know uh Doc Servanton, but the programs like this just build good citizens on so many levels.

It just builds good good kids.

Yeah, and Mitch, I I kind of think that you're talking about this is smart, this is really just for our community.

It's smaller.

Okay, and I would suggest and I've got a contact.

Um it's not even the same thing, but they're doing it as Virgin Virgin Valley Junior Golf.

Is anybody familiar with them?

Yeah.

Um they have 200 kids.

Um I think they have 188 or something this this year that's every year it build a growth.

Yeah, and the people teaching them are just people in town, adults in town.

So I think you're where Dave and I are thinking battle of the bands, yeah.

Um you're thinking mesquite battle of our little bands.

Yes.

But but it's it it can be anything.

It it can be and you start with an idea, and that's what's great, is that then it it will morph into something bigger and become a son identity.

But now I'm thinking that uh we want to invite all bands.

I think you know, give them a time, find the the uh stages for them to uh perform on the our venues.

I think we've got several I've already thought about in town.

And um there's a lot of retired people who still have another trajectory to explore, and a lot of the times it's gonna be picking up that old instrument, picking up a pen to write, you know, they're they finally get a chance to chase their passion.

And so this this these are the volunteers that I think are gonna come and and help us make this work.

So thank you.

All right, so you're off and running with that, right, Mitsi?

Okay, and whatever help you need.

Yes, yes, okay.

Any public comment on that?

No.

Um next is um discussion and possible action on bulldogs.

And let's see, Dave, you're we're getting we'll we'll finish in time for you.

So um I was up in Gardnerville, and they are put they have a um a thing going on where they're putting um lambs out, these um well, you've seen I think they have what do they have in um St.

George, they have some kind of animal that is it buffaloes or something like that.

Yeah, they do that, they do that buffalo thing in St.

George.

I I'm not even sure what it's about, but you do see that.

I'm I don't know if it's a chamber of commerce thing or what, but do you do see those colored buffaloes out in front of, you know, there's dozens and dozens of them in St.

George in front of businesses.

So well, Gardnerville's doing that with sheep, and I'm not saying that we should even think about sheep, but um the idea is and the businesses sponsor them, and they pay an artist to paint it.

Okay, and I they gave me a they gave um Jen gave me a contact and I found out we can get bulldogs, which I think bulldogs fit for us for 900 bucks, and they're you know, a good size bulldog, three or four feet high.

Um, and then we can pay to paint.

So what I would like is permission to go look into this and see if we can uh maybe come up with uh I don't know whether it'd be a a fundraiser or not, but um put bulldogs around town.

I think I think it would be a good project.

So I'm going to propose that you allow me to put a committee together to go look on placing bulldogs and having art put on them around our town.

I make the motion to do that.

I'll second.

All in favor?

I just to just to comment on that.

Since if we're if you're we're going to mirror what St.

George has done, I I'm the reason I brought up the chamber is because I do business with some people up there, and I'm I'm pretty sure that it was a it was something done in conjunction with the chamber with the business community in St.

George.

So I might recommend that perhaps you uh look to the Chamber of Commerce possibly to assist here in Mesquite to get businesses interested interested in it to help promote it, that kind of thing.

I I think it's something um I think our current director of the Chamber of Commerce is actually from St.

George, so I'm sure he's probably seen them.

Um probably has a little bit of experience with it too.

So if you could kind of get the business community behind it, it would kind of be I mean, could turn out to be something really um noticeable, you know, kind of a uh an interesting little colored bulldogs all around town sitting in front of businesses and and so forth.

So I'll I'll reach out to Austin.

Okay, I I'd like to make a comment.

So um right, so this was our idea to also reach out to um all of the businesses to uh donate to the battle of the bands.

So is there some way that when you do this fundraising, we're not asking them for $900 plus you know $300 for battle of the bands at the same time.

I mean, how do you how do you uh um oh I I haven't even thought about that so far.

I I was okay.

I was thinking well the chamber it as in their position, the chamber is not going to donate directly.

No, but they would they would assist in helping promote it to membership, and the membership is pretty varied, pretty wide.

Um you're talking, I think 250, 300 different member you know, businesses and individuals that are members there.

So I know when I go to chamber, I'm fairly active in the chamber of commerce things.

When I go to chamber events, um, you know, I mean, basically I might get hit up four different times by four different community activities happening.

And I I think in yeah, that's just kind of the way it goes is you sort of pick and choose what what it is that you want to do.

So whoever give us a the best marketing performance.

I think the chamber will be supportive of both ideas, I would assume.

So I I think that I think Gardnerville got they were using grant money from um Main Street um to buy them, and they're asking the um the businesses to help pay for the uh the painting.

I like I like the idea.

Okay, um commissioners' comments and reports.

Karen, you can go first.

Oh, I should I'm sorry, let's let Dave go first because he might have to leave.

Okay, oh, public comment on that bulldock.

Okay.

Commissioners, Dave.

Um, I I really don't have anything.

I was just gonna kind of mention that um last week the the younger kids put on uh the Susical um the Suicle Junior, and then this week we've got the older kids are doing teenagers doing school of rock, and then the high school, I think next week goes to nationals.

Oh, is it next week?

I think it's next week that they go, yeah.

They clo um they close the show Saturday night and they get on the plane Sunday morning.

Yeah.

So I just want to mention that there's lots of lots of stuff happening in the performing arts here with our youth.

That's a good way to kick off the summer, isn't it?

Okay, Karen.

Uh okay.

Um first on the um Poet Laureate.

Um, yes, I only have two uh restwood as one, and then the young lady that you sent me the other day.

So if there's another one, I didn't get it.

Oh, it was it was the first one, Christy.

You got that before you left.

Oh, yeah, then I do have three.

Got it.

Okay.

Um then the other thing is um in regards to the battle of the bands.

Um, as I'm sitting here listening and thinking, um, Nevada Arts Council does have grant monies, and their grant money doesn't go just for art in the form of uh painting.

Um there is a lot of um music is considered art, and um there are grants out there for musical activities, and I think maybe it would behoove us to investigate what the Nevada Arts Council has going um in the you know the future year for um getting a grant for to help you out, but you're gonna have to have some kind of budget before you do that.

Okay, okay, very good.

Thank you.

Thanks, Karen.

Kaelin.

Okay, so I kind of have like two things.

It goes back to the dance mesquite.

So about the concrete spot, it does to me at least I think it could be it looks a little could be like looking a little bit more better because it looks a little haggard, at least on like the edges when I looked at it.

So I was wondering like, should we like fix it up a little bit before we like get on to it with all the paint stuff, or should we just leave it as it is?

So you mean like smooth it with a a cement sounder or something like that?

Yeah, something like that to make it look much nicer.

Yeah, um let's see.

So I think we need to talk to with Carter.

Is it Carter, Wes Carter?

He's over the Jimmy over the Jimmy Hughes uh taking care of it.

I'm not sure what he's trying to do.

So it's not Randy, that's Wes Referring.

Randy is his boss.

Okay, but just because it's it would be those workmen that would, you know.

I I don't they I think we should involve them on it, and and then if they say just go ahead and do it, you know.

But it would be maybe they already have the piece of equipment that would need to be used.

So um I'll if you would like I'll contact Wes and have a discussion about that.

Wes, and then I'll copy Randy.

Is that okay if I or yeah, and you've got Kaylin's email.

If I don't, I'll get it.

If you don't, I'll give it to you.

Okay, yeah.

And then the second thing, this is just this was just an idea in the first place when we first did the meeting at the high school.

But there was an idea where like we'll get we like we'll do like ham, like just a suggestion of like hand prints on the concrete idea, like kind of like where we do the stencil or something, or like maybe around it, we'll do like hand prints, like have some like hands painted, and we'll just like put it on like the concrete area.

That was the at least an idea of what we had.

Either a board around it or like somewhere like inside of it, or at least like a hand print idea.

And we'll have like different sizes for when we do that.

Yeah, I think um I think at this point that we're giving the idea to the artist.

Okay, so and if that's what the artist, you your group being the artist, if that's what you see.

I support it.

Personally, I support it with Steve.

I do think that's yeah, it's all approved, and we'll we'll let the artist.

And that's a lab.

Okay, Caitlin, thank you.

And um I'll be real quick.

Um, I managed to um well, thank you to Nevada Arts Council.

Um they gave us um $15,000.

Um Paul Benedict that when his wife passed, um, he gave five thousand one hundred dollars for a mural, and um Reliance Connect um is gonna give us five thousand one hundred dollars, and this is for all things around um um the America 250.

And it's kind of late coming, but Miles is working on the mural um behind um Reliance.

I saw I saw I saw his post on Facebook where he was like cleaning the wall, like cleaning leftover paints and stuff off the wall or whatever, briefly.

But so yeah, I I saw that and was like, oh, he's he's starting, he's he's getting going.

So yeah, so I'm pretty excited about that.

Yeah, um, and what happened was we had the money after uh Rochelle Knight and I applied for um uh America 250 public art project last year and didn't hear anything about it.

Tony from uh Nevada Arts Council would say, I haven't forgotten you, Steve.

I haven't forgotten you.

Well, the other day he said, Oh, I've got $15,000.

And I said, Okay, well, that's more than what we were going to do.

So then that paid for the other half of the mural, and then Reliance came through with another $5,100 that'll pay for.

So we're gonna take some of that reliance money and spread it around.

Um Jason, we worked with Jason to put a we're gonna put a wrap on um two of the power boxes up by fire station two.

Okay, and Rochelle's um actually she just finished, and she's got a thing that says it's really pretty, says America 250.

Okay, so a lot of thanks to Jason, and we'll go ahead and spread the credit around to all three of those projects.

Nevada Arts Council, Reliance Connects, and and Paul Benedict.
