SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A PUBLIC ART DONATION
AGREEMENT BETWEEN TIA MONSON 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 Tia
Monson and the City of Pueblo related to the donation of a painted mural to be installed
at the Clark Street levee access ramp 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 $22,000.00 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. Tia Monson
is among those artists who have been selected to participate in the creation of artwork
for this project.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Tia Monson will donate her painted mural to the City of Pueblo at no cost and she will
be responsible for the installation and maintenance of the artwork for a period of two
years while it is on public display. After the two-year maintenance period has expired,
the City of Pueblo may, at its discretion, opt to continue displaying the artwork, or to
remove the artwork. In such case, the City of Pueblo will be responsible for all costs
associated with the maintenance of the artwork after Tia Monson'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 of Pueblo being unable to accept the
donated artwork from Tina Monson.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
