§ 7-2-5. FUNDING FOR ART.

(A)

Except as otherwise provided in this section, the council shall appropriate an amount equal to at least two percent of the construction cost of a project to select, acquire, and display art. The appropriation shall be a separate item in the project budget. This limitation does not apply if the council determines, after receiving a recommendation from the Arts Commission, that the project merits or requires a greater appropriation.

(B)

Subsection (A) does not apply to a project with a construction cost of less than $100,000.

(C)

An appropriation under this section may not exceed $300,000 for a water and wastewater treatment facility.

(D)

If the council determines that a project is inappropriate for a display of art, the council shall transfer to the Public Art Fund for use at other appropriate public sites the amount of money required by this section. This does not authorize the transfer of money from one project to another if a legal restriction on the source of money prohibits the transfer.
