(A) The work of art may be an integral part of a structure, attached to a structure or detached from the structure within or outside of it. It may also be located on publicly-owned property where there are no structures.
(B) In addition to any other placements permitted by law, a work of art may be placed on a privately owned freestanding sign or on an exterior wall under a lease - or other written agreement appropriate to the circumstances - between the city and the owner of the sign or wall. Unless otherwise prescribed by the terms of a lease or written agreement, the City Department of Arts and Culture, Public Art Urban Enhancement Division shall maintain the sign or mural during the contractually established duration of the art project, and shall remove the work of art immediately upon termination.
(C) Any work of art which is chosen must comply with the following standards in addition to any guidelines established by the Mayor:
(1) The work of art must be located in a public place with public visibility and impact.
(2) The work of art, or the archival documentation of digital or temporary works of art, shall have a permanence at least comparable to the lifetime of the bond funding the work of art and shall be likely to remain a thing of value for this time period.
(3) The work of art shall enhance the environment of the city.
(D) The Board shall recommend an artist, a design proposal and/or a completed work of art, which shall be selected in a manner consistent with the guidelines promulgated by the Mayor. The Board may recommend purchasing a completed work of art, commissioning a work of art, holding a competition to select a work of art, or creating some other timely and appropriate mode of selection. The Board through public art program staff shall consult with the user agency and project design consultants, if applicable, and involve them in the planning process in the manner that appears most feasible. The Mayor shall accept or reject the recommendation of the Board. If the Mayor rejects the recommendation, the Board shall make another recommendation in accordance with the standards and procedures outlined in this article.
(E) The Board shall make its recommendations in a timely manner in accordance with the project schedule and timetable provided by the Mayor. If the Board fails to make a recommendation within the timetable established by the Mayor, the Mayor may identify another appropriate public procedure to select an artist or work of art without receiving a recommendation from the Board unless the Board and the Mayor have mutually agreed in writing to an extension of the time period. The time period shall be extended, if necessary, if the Mayor rejects the Board's recommendation.
