The Open Meetings Law of the State of New York requires that all public bodies conduct meetings, convened for the purpose of officially conducting public business, in a manner open to attendance by the general public to observe and listen.

My understanding is that the art sculpture gift is a large 30 foot statue of a Dollar Bill sited on land next to Octagon Field near the Tom Otterness Marriage of Real Estate and Money sculptures in East River.

More on the Octagon Field closure and community protest at prior post.
