The work-in-progress mural the city
hired local artist Mohammed Mubarak of Mubarak Art to adorn the eastern,
outside wall of the Council Chambers with is shown Wednesday, July
16. The City Council in April awarded a $75,000, no-bid contract
to Mubarak under the direction of Mayor Eric J. Perrodin to grace
the wall facing Willowbrook Avenue with a 30-foot-by-90-foot mural.
Additionally, he will paint two 10-foot-by-20-foot murals and provided
20 portraits that are currently hanging inside City Hall. The cost
of the above mural is $30,000. Mubarak told The Bulletin at the beginning
of July that it should be complete in the next 90 days. —Photo by Allison
