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. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
