Executive Summary

 

One of the elements to commemorate the City of Sugar Land’s 50 years of incorporation was to commission a historical bronze sculpture to be permanently displayed in City Hall.   The Golden Anniversary citizens committee, along with staff, solicited donations to fund the bronze sculpture and donor plaques. 

 

Total cost of the sculpture including donor plaques and installation is $37,900.   A total of $80,357 was graciously donated from businesses and individuals throughout the community.   Remaining funds will be used to assist in funding the 50th anniversary signature event that will be held New Year’s Eve in Town Square.

 

Staff recommends that Council accept the donations totaling $80,357 and approve a budget adjustment to expenditures in the Communications department in the amount of $80,357.
