CC - Item 7E - Authorization to Execute Artist's Agreement for Development of September 11th MemorialROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
DATE: NOVEMBER 9, 2010
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE ARTIST'S AGREEMENT FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF SEPTEMBER 11 MEMORIAL
SUMMARY
As part of the fiscal year 2010 -11 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council approved a
10`" Anniversary September 11'" memorial. The estimated cost for the project is $60,000, and it
was determined that funds for the project were to come from community donations.
Several conceptual designs for the Memorial were created by local artist Heath Satow, and per
the direction of the City Council, the community was given opportunity to vote for their preferred
design. "Hands" was selected. Further, the City successfully procured a steel beam from the
World Trade Centers for inclusion in the Memorial. Thus, we are now ready to begin
development of the Memorial. The costs for design, materials, fabrication, and supervision of
installation are $50,000. However, the artist has determined to donate 20% of his costs to the
project thereby reducing the contract amount to $40,000. As it will require six months to
fabricate the Memorial, it is imperative that the artist begin work as soon as possible.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with
artist Heath Satow for the creation of the September 11 Memorial.
