The RFQ closed November 2 and there were two submissions. The WPAC must review and discuss the proposals to determine a recommendation for City Council. Because the expense is higher than the threshold (10% of the annual allocation), it must go to City Council for final approval. The recommendation would be presented to City Council for approval at its December business meeting. Previous Action: None Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the WPAC approve a recommended company for mural curation services to present to City Council for final approval. Sample Motion: I move that the Williamsburg Public Art Council approve <INSERT COMPANY NAME> as the recommended company for mural curation services in the amount of <INSERT AMOUNT> as outlined in the proposal.
