Impact analysis
Reallocating public art funds could free up approximately $10 million for other bond projects, potentially reducing the need for a larger bond package or allowing for increased funding in other areas.
Potentially, projects that receive reallocated funds, such as infrastructure or public safety initiatives.
The public art program and potentially local artists if the ordinance is changed to reduce funding or if the funds are not reinvested in community-focused art.
