SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In keeping with the City of McCall Public Art Policies adopted by City Council June 29, 2012, City Council entered into an Artwork Commission Agreement with muralist Jay Rasgorshek to
paint a mural on an exterior wall within the Downtown West Urban Renewal Area during FY23. Additionally, City Council approved a Memorandum of Agreement with McPAWS Inc. to install
and maintain the mural on the west exterior wall of the McPaws Thrift Store building at 301 E. Lenora Street.
Pursuant to the Artwork Commission Agreement, muralist Jay Rasgorshek prepared three design concepts for the mural. These three designs, all representing local flora and fauna, were
then provided for public comment via online survey and newspaper notification. A five-member Artwork Selection Committee reviewed the design concepts and public input and recommended
that design option #2, “River Otters and Balsamroot” be selected as the final mural design. At its July 24, 2023, meeting, the City of McCall Public Art Advisory Committee also reviewed
the public input and Artwork Selection Committee design preference and unanimously recommended to City Council that mural design option #2, “River Otters and Balsamroot” be approved
as the final mural design. The McCall Redevelopment Agency board will review the mural design options at its August 1, 2023, meeting and staff will provide Council with the Agency recommendation
during presentation of this agenda bill.
Renderings of Jay Rasgorshek’s three submitted design concepts and public input results are attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve “River Otters and Balsamroot” as the final design for the downtown mural project.
