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. PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS This item has been noticed through the regular agenda notification process. FISCAL IMPACT: As City Council has directed staff to solicit donations to fund the project, no City funds are expected to be spent.
