Summary
A newly completed assessment of all sixty artworks in the city's collection found most in stable shape but flagged urgent repairs — including a top-heavy Langley sculpture at the Jetport that kids can climb and that has cracking. The committee has about $100,000 earmarked for maintenance and will pick priority projects in September.

Impact analysis
About $100,000 total is set aside for conservation, with individual treatments mostly under $5,000 — but a new base for the Jetport sculpture would cost extra.
