What's at stake?
How Public Assets Are Classified Determines Their Future.
Under existing agreements, items with historical or scientific value are defined
as County-owned artifacts.
Recent transition materials use terms such as
“components” or “non-accessioned objects” to describe certain exhibit elements.
How objects are classified determines:
• Whether they must be preserved
• Whether they can be transferred
• Whether they can be sold
• Who controls any proceeds
This is a governance issue — not a design preference.
These distinctions affect what remains public — and what does not.
Classification determines control.

The focus is on governance, asset disposition, and decision-making reflected in official documents and actions.

Asset classification and governance decisions determine what is preserved, transferred, sold, or lost.
Once physical assets are demolished or dispersed, those outcomes cannot be reversed.
