DISCUSSION:
The Ridgeline Property Group Developers (“Developer”) worked with the Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC) in 2021 to solicit and select a local artist to commission an Osprey Bird sculpture. The Developer provided two in lieu of contributions to the City in the amounts of $65,000 and $20,000, for a total contribution of $85,000. City staff brought forth two items to City Council, on November 2, 2021, and April 19, 2022, to accept and appropriate the funds into the fiscal year 2021-2022 budget.
It was originally anticipated that the artist would complete the project by the end of fiscal year 2021-2022. However, the project experienced delays pushing the completion date into the current fiscal year. City staff is now requesting that the previously received funds in the amount of $25,500 be appropriated to the current fiscal year.
