Council accepts donated "Rainbow Bridge" public-art project; details to return for approval
Summary
Council voted 7-0 to accept a donation of a community art installation called the Rainbow Bridge but asked staff to return with a project plan that spells out materials, installation, signage and maintenance; the city will own and maintain the installation if accepted.
The Liberty Lake City Council unanimously approved accepting a donated public-art installation called the Rainbow Bridge after a discussion about design details, donor signage and maintenance responsibilities.
Jen (project representative, speaker 18) described the donation as a concept that includes donor tags and signage. Council members sought clarity on whether individually engraved stones or tags would be permitted, who would install any heavier elements, and whether the city would maintain the site. Jen and staff said the donation would become city property and that the city would maintain it; if donors wished to place heavier stones, the city would perform the installation.
Council member Severs urged staff to return with a formal project plan and installation agreement before construction to ensure safety, accessibility and compliance with city policies. City legal/staff representatives said the donation form gives the city control over donated items and that a separate project plan with specific details could come back to council for approval.
The council approved the donation by voice vote (7-0) and directed staff to work with the donor on a more detailed plan and any required agreements or signage that comply with the city's gift and sponsorship policies.
