AGREEMENT BETWEEN LYLE CLIFT 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 Lyle
Clift and the City of Pueblo related to the donation of park benches 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 of Pueblo and the Pueblo Department
of Public Health and Environment related to the establishment of the Pueblo History
and Art Walk and the 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. Lyle Clift is
among the artists who has been selected to participate in the creation of his artwork for
this project.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Mr. Clift will donate his park benches to the City of Pueblo 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 construct the foundation for installing the
artwork using funds previously budgeted and appropriated by Pueblo City Council. At
the end of the maintenance period, 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 benches.
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. Clift.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
