Title
RESOLUTION APPROVING FIRST AMENDMENT TO INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF COMMERCE CITY AND THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT (“RTD”) REGARDING ARTWORK FOR THE NORTH METRO RAIL LINE
Body
Summary and Background Information:
This item was presented to the City Council on 07-20-2020. After discussion, Council directed staff to go back to RTD and attempt to implement a solution that would allow for the current IGA to continue, without modification, and for the art piece selected through the public process to be installed. Council believed that it was important to honor the public process and selection. Council provided flexibility to alter some of the material used on the art piece to try and reach consensus with RTD.
Staff met with RTD and began new negotiations. In an effort to have RTD be willing to own the artwork and ongoing maintenance, as defined in the current IGA, RTD agreed to supply the City and the artists with a list of materials that are not acceptable in the current art piece and provide a list of requirements for the art, related to their maintenance standards.
The artist was able to provide a list of materials acceptable to approved by RTD. The approved materials do not alter the art piece from an appearance standpoint. RTD has agreed to own and maintain the art piece, per the current IGA.
An amendment to the current IGA is necessary in order to account for new deadline to install the art piece and to provide additional detail regarding the agreed upon materials to be used in the art piece.
