SUBJECT: AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE TRANSFERRING $55,000 FROM THE
UNAPPROPRIATED FUND BALANCE OF THE GENERAL FUND TO
PROJECT NO. PL1801 - DILLON FLYOVER BRIDGE ART PROJECT,
AND BUDGETING AND APPROPRIATING $55,000 FOR SAID
PROJECT
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance transfers $55,000.00 from the 2023 fund balance of the General Fund,
and budgets and appropriates said funds into Project No. PL1801 - Dillon Flyover
Bridge Art Project for the completion of remaining construction activities on the
Gateway to the Southwest project.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Ordinance No. 9229, passed by the City Council on February 12, 2018, established
Project No. PL1801 - Dillon Flyover Bridge Art Project and transferred, budgeted, and
appropriated $130,000.00 for the project.
Resolution No. 14007, passed by the City Council on July 9, 2018, approved the award
of a Public Art Services Agreement (Bid No. 17-065) with Kenneth T. Williams, dated
July 9, 2018, to design and construct the Gateway to the Southwest Art project with a
maximum contract value of $600,000.00.
Resolution No. 14598, passed by the City Council on April 26, 2021, approved
Amendment No. 1 to the Public Art Services Agreement with Kenneth T. Williams,
dated April 26, 2021, to add the fabrication and installation of replica monuments on
public property located along Central Main Street in Downtown Pueblo at a cost of
$22,000.00.
Multiple ordinances have been passed by the City Council since 2018, accepting public
and private financial contributions toward the project. In total, $960,070.00 of public
and private contributions have been accepted, budgeted and appropriated through the
passage of Ordinance Nos. 9209, 9229, 9408, 9445, 9489, 9541, 9552, 9664, 9688,
9871, and 10075.
BACKGROUND:
Kenneth Williams (Williams Studios) completed the design of the Gateway to the
Southwest Monument project and the construction of the monument in the easternmost
roundabout under the initial contract award in 2018. At the time the contract was
awarded, sufficient funding to complete the second half of the project was not made
available, so work on the second (westernmost) monument did not begin. Since that
time, additional funds have been provided by various public and private entities to cover
the unmet project costs. Over the past few years, construction prices have continued to
rise and a funding shortfall in the amount of $49,513.00, which prevents the completion
of the project. If approved, this Ordinance would transfer, budget, and appropriate
$55,000.00 to Project No. PL1801, covering the remaining project costs and providing a
small contingency set aside in the amount of $5,487.00 for any minor unforeseen
project expenses.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
This Ordinance will transfer $55,000.00 from the General Fund Unappropriated Fund
Balance and budget and appropriate that amount to Project No. PL1801.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
Failure to pass this Ordinance will preclude the City from providing the remaining funds
required to complete the Gateway to the Southwest project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Ordinance.
