Staff Report Donation of Mesa Page 2 April 28, 2016 Pending approval by City Council and an engineer, staff would like to install Mesa on the currently vacant art pad on the west end of Civic Center Park near the sculptures Desert Dessert and The Rose Garden Community Walk. The sculpture stands approximately ten (10) feet tall and is made of Corten steel and with a concrete base, which is easily maintained. Currently a conservator is working on cleaning up the sculpture as well as the bead -blasting and sealing the base before the artwork would come to the City. The current appraisal values the sculpture at $60,000. Fiscal Analvsis If the donation is approved, the City's fiscal responsibility would be the cost of relocating the sculpture to its new location at an estimated cost of $750 for a crane, signage at an estimated cost of $100, and the installation at an estimated cost of $800. Unless a new pad needs to be poured for the sculpture, the total cost of the project is estimated at $1,650. Minimal additional funds would be required on an annual basis for maintaining and insuring the artwork. Funds for relocation and installation of the Mesa are available in Account Number 4364650-4400100. No General Fund monies will be expended. Submitted By: a Deborah S.
