Hi, We have a private donor wanting to fund a memorial sculpture for our community.

It will be placed on private land (with enthusiastic consent!) next to a public sidewalk. Ultimately, all partners (including the City) want for the City to own the piece and take responsibility for insurance, maintenance and future re-siting (if the site is developed, for example).

Does anyone have examples of legal or city documentation for a city taking ownership/responsibility for a piece of public art that is on privately owned site?

Thanks so much!

Fiona
