If these groups insist on removeable, let them collect the funds to pay the removal.

Why? If people didn't want the statues in the first place, why did they have to pay a sculpture, and then the machinery to place it there, AND maintain it every year? Why didn't those who wanted it in the first place pay for everything, and not charge it off to the taxpayers?
