If that is the case, I was told that this type of art is selected by a committee, of which Nenshi doesn't control, so it really isn't in his scope. Let the circle discussion die please!
Someone with more understanding of civic processes can't confirm if the above is true I am sure.

A simple solution to that is to have any and all money spent on art projects be voted on by council, that way we have a body of people that are accountable to the voting, taxpaying public.
