Should the Commission justify deaccessioning, it will seek opinions
on the disposition of the subject piece from the artist community
and general public.
The Commission will give priority consideration to returning works
to the artist or their heir, or in the case of donations, to the donor
or his/her heirs.
The Commission will disclose both the deaccession criteria and possible
disposition of such artwork to the artist and/or donor before finalizing
any contractual agreements.
In the case the City chooses to sell a piece of public art, all proceeds
from the sale will be placed in a City account for acquisition of
