The Budget Committee received an update from public art staff: the artist‑commissioned deer sculptures destined for the Oregon Street roundabout are finished but cannot be installed until the county right‑of‑way permit is issued.

Kristen (public art staff) said the deer are complete and “they're ready to come to Sherwood,” but installation awaits the county permit. Committee members and staff discussed simple installation details and long‑term maintenance; staff added that a public art master plan is being updated to reflect the city’s new public art fund and to identify future projects and funding sources.

The public art fund currently has funds available for projects and staff noted they had built contingency availability to allow the committee and council to move forward with projects through a supplemental budget if desired. The deer installation project cost is reported at roughly $120,000 for artwork and installation; staff asked for direction on a public event plan and coordination with county permitting to set a date for installation and a potential ribboncutting or unveiling event.
