A mid-year adjustment will be requested to fund this project from the Permanent Arts earmarked funds.
Current balance is $450,000 of earmarked Permanent Art in the Hotel Occupancy Tax fund.
These funds are unspent permanent art funds accumulated over the past few years for the purpose of creating large scale art projects.
Please note in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 we were asked to limit our spending which included the allocated permanent art funds. The savings are included in the $450,000.
