Committee wants to clarify that the $50K is not simply for moving costs, but rather includes the costs of constructing infrastructure at a new location.
This Intake Form as submitted does not contemplate the acquisition of new art but rather solely requests costs of relocating andbuilding new infrastructure for art that the City acquired in the past. As such, Part 2 is inapplicable here.

The Committee voiced strong, unanimous objection to spending add'l public funds (approx. 25% of the original cost of the art project) ro relocate, given their past advice regarding this piece. The Lowes Way location had been specifically suggested by the Committee and rejected by the City in previous meeting.Also, given the substantial negative public input/reaction on the art itself and mindful of good stewardship of public funds, the Committee suggests the City sell the pieceor relocate using private funds. The Committee also wants a clear record that it did not advise the City as to the acquisition of this art.
