Pull original sculpture agreement before relocation subcommittee meets

Context: The 2026-06-09 entry states only that a sub-committee will be formed on relocation options and a site visit with Moroles Art Co. will be scheduled for repair, with no governing agreement or consent terms in the record.

Recommended: Request the city's original commissioning, donation, or acceptance agreement for the sculpture and any maintenance terms involving Moroles Art Co., then ask staff whether those documents condition relocation, alteration, or repair on artist or estate consent or on a designated repairer. The record so far contains no such terms, and raising them after a relocation site and repair scope are chosen is far harder to unwind.

Ask what damaged the Corpus Christi Bay sculpture

Context: The same item appeared as 'To Be Introduced' on 2026-05-26 and 2026-06-09, and the only substantive record is that a sub-committee is 'to be formed' and a site visit with Moroles Art Co. is 'to be scheduled' to determine repair next steps.

Recommended: The relocation item has now been introduced twice without any recorded vote, named subcommittee members, damage description, or repair cost — request the commission's condition assessment for the sculpture and the findings from the pending Moroles Art Co. site visit. Without those, the public learns the artwork's fate only after a relocation site is already picked.
