I move that the Art in Public Places Advisory Board find that the maquette submitted by Daniel Borup contains material deviations from the design sketches approved by the County Council on August 4, 2026, and withhold authorization to proceed with fabrication until the identified deviations have been addressed in accordance with Agreement AGR27-834.
Body
Pursuant to Agreement AGR27-834, Daniel Borup has submitted the required final three-dimensional (3D) design and delivered a maquette of the proposed lion sculpture to the Art in Public Places Staff Liaison. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Board's review at this stage is limited to determining whether the maquette is consistent with the design sketches previously approved by the County Council on August 4, 2026. The Agreement requires the Board to evaluate only whether the maquette contains any material deviations from the approved design, defined as “substantial inconsistencies in scale, proportion, subject matter, or other major design elements.” The Board is not authorized under the Agreement to reconsider the approved concept or conduct a new design review. The review options available to the Board, together with the applicable contractual provisions that govern this determination, are provided in Attachment A.
