Mr. Cheney, it is stated that "In the event any three dimensional reproductions of the Work are made, the
ARTIST will provide 5 copies at cost to the City in lieu of any future revenues derived from sales of the
three dimensional reproductions." One machette is available for general City purposes, two have been
earmarked for Parks and Recreation, and two for Hutchins Street Square for future fund raising
purposes.
FISCAL IMPACT: As a component of the artist's contract the City has paid $2,120

Public Places (2), Parks & Recreation (2), and general purpose (1).
The artist estimated retail value of each piece is $4,240 indicating
an opportunity to generate revenue.
