SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A PUBLIC ART DONATION
AGREEMENT BETWEEN REID MILLER AND THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A
COLORADO MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, RELATING TO THE
DONATION OF ARTWORK FOR PUBLIC ENJOYMENT AS PART OF
THE PUEBLO HISTORY AND ARTWALK PROJECT AND
AUTHORIZING EXECUTION THEREOF BY THE MAYOR
SUMMARY:
Attached is an Ordinance approving a Public Art Donation Agreement between Reid
Miller and the City of Pueblo related to the donation of a sculpture to be installed along
the route of the Pueblo History and Art Walk for public enjoyment.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On October 26, 2020, City Council passed Resolution No. 14496, adopting the
Colorado Smelter Revitalization Plan, which approved a slate of improvement projects
in the Bessemer, Bojon Town, and Grove neighborhoods that could be completed as
funding became available.
On January 9, 2023, City Council passed Ordinance No. 10369, approving an
Intergovernmental Agreement between the City and the Pueblo Department of Public
Health and Environment related to the establishment of the Pueblo History and Art
Walk and related project support to be provided by the City's Public Works Department.
On January 23, 2023, City Council passed Ordinance No. 10373, establishing Project
No. PL2203 - Colorado Smelter Revitalization Project Support and budgeting and
appropriating funds in the amount of $22,000 for the project.
BACKGROUND:
One of the stated goals in the Colorado Smelter Revitalization Plan was the installation
of public artwork within the Bessemer, Bojon Town, and Grove neighborhoods. The
Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment commissioned several artists to
create artwork for installation along the Pueblo History and Art Walk route. Reid Miller is
among the artists who have been selected to participate in the creation of artwork for
this project.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Mr. Miller will donate his sculpture to the City at no cost and he will be responsible for
the installation and maintenance of the artwork for a period of two years while it is on
public display. The City will install the foundation for installing the artwork using funds
previously budgeted and appropriated by Pueblo City Council. Mr. Miller will retain the
right to purchase his artwork back from the City at the end of the two-year period and
he will be responsible for removing the artwork at that time if he so chooses. If he does
not exercise his option to buy the artwork back, the City may, at its discretion, opt to
continue displaying the artwork, relocate the artwork, or dispose of the artwork. In such
case, the City will be responsible for all costs associated with the maintenance of the
sculpture after Mr. Miller's two-year maintenance period expires.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
This project was vetted within the local community and supported by the Bessemer,
BojonTown, and Grove Improvement Network ("BEGIN") Governing Committee.
ALTERNATIVES:
Denial of this agreement will result in the City being unable to accept the donated
artwork from Mr. Miller.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
