SUMMARY:
This Ordinance accepts a donation from the Robert Hoag Rawlings Foundation in the
amount of $100,000 which is the second of three payments of their $300,000 donation to
the Project and a donation in the amount of $5,000 from Pueblo Bank and Trust, Inc. Both
donations in the amount of $105,000 will be budgeted and appropriated to Project
PL1801, Gateway to the Southwest I-25 Art Project.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On January 22, 2019, City Council accepted the first of three payments of a $300,000
donation from the Robert Hoag Rawlings Foundation for the Project.
BACKGROUND:
A community group requested the City provide funds equaling at least 1% of the Dillon
Flyover Project costs or $130,000 be set aside for public art on the new Dillon Bridge.
The funds would be used to leverage grants and donations to fund a $600,000 public art
project. In 2017, the City selected Ken Williams from a regional call for entries, to
construct the dual art piece on the new bridge titled Gateway to the Southwest. The
Robert Hoag Rawlings Foundation has pledged a $300,000 donation towards the Project.
This donation is the second of three payments. The third payment is scheduled to be
submitted in August of 2019. The Pueblo Bank and Trust, Inc. has donated $5,000 to be
divided, $2,500 toward each of the two sculptures. The City Planning and Community
Department is currently involved in raising funds for the Project.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The donated funds in the amount of $105,000 will be deposited, budgeted and
appropriated into the Gateway to the Southwest I-25 Art Project PL1801.
