    (a)

    Review and Approve/Deny Art Project Proposals. The Culture Commission shall have the sole authority to review and either approve or deny Art Project proposals submitted by outside parties. The Culture Commission shall only approve Art Project Proposals that (1) are fully funded (for creation and maintenance) according to the requirements of Section 4-22.07 entitled "Funding" below; (2) will fulfill the purpose of this chapter by making the City a more beautiful and enjoyable place to live, work, or visit; and (3) that will enhance and/or harmonize with other approved Art Projects in the City.

    (b)

    Acquire or Commission Works of Art On Its Own Motion. The Culture Commission may on its own motion, acquire or commission an Art Project for installation or placement at a location of its choosing within the City, provided that (1) the Culture Commission is able to secure the necessary funding required by Section 4-22.07, below; (2) the Art Project will fulfill the purpose of this chapter by making the City a more beautiful and enjoyable place to live, work, or visit; and (3) the Art Project will enhance and/or harmonize with other approved Art Projects in the City.

    The Culture Commission may secure funding either through an outside source or through City funding when funds are approved and designated by the City Council to be used for acquisition of City-owned public art. Nothing in this chapter is intended to give the Culture Commission the authority to spend General Fund money or other City funds without expressed, prior authorization of the City Council.
