for placement of the sculpture and allow the Memorial Committee to work with Ms.
Ustick on selecting a site for the sculpture. Mayor McKinney also said if the sculpture is
placed at the Gallup Bike Park, the City would also offer the changing of the bike park’s
name the Rudy Radosevich Memorial Park.

Interior, Bureau of Reclamation Concerning the Upfront Application of the
New Mexico Cost-Share Balance for the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply
Project George Kozeliski, City Attorney
—
Mr. Kozeliski presented the proposed Letter Agreement which is based on a meeting
with Estevan Lopez, Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) Commissioner. The City expressed
concerns with the BOR utilizing State funds to pay the federal governments’ settlement
with the Navajo Nation. The City believes the State’s share should be split between the
Jicarilla Tribe and the City since the federal government is responsible and obligated to
the Navajo Nation for its settlement. As a result, the BOR agreed with the City and has
recalculated the credit for the New Mexico cost share. In accordance with the proposed
Agreement, the City will be given an additional credit in the amount of $11,910,676 for
the project. Rather than spreading the credit over the life of the project, the BOR
agreed to the City’s request to provide the $1 1,910.676 credit up-front and to be applied
to the payments due from the City of Gallup for its share of the project.
Discussion followed concerning the credits received from the State and the additional
credits from the State to be applied to the project.

Agreement with the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation,

9. Budget Adjustment to Fund Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Technician Position Brian Archuleta, Information Technology Director
—
Mr. Archuleta said the proposed GIS Technician’s position was previously frozen to help
balance the City’s budget for Fiscal Year 2017. The City has experienced significant
savings with the Mitel phone contract, which has made funding available for the GIS
Technician’s position. Mr. Archuleta recommended reinstating the position and to fund
it by transferring $39,000 (3/4 of a year) from the Information Technology Department’s
operational budget to the GIS budget this fiscal year. The cost for funding the position
will be $52,000 annually which will be covered by the Mitel contract savings.
Councilor Kumar made the motion to approve the budget adjustment to fund the
Geographic Information Systems Technician’s position. Seconded by Councilor Garcia.
Roll call: Councilors Kumar, Garcia, Landavazo, Palochak and Mayor McKinney all
voted yes.

—
Director
Mr. Henderson provided an overview of the project as well as the bid results for award
of the construction contract. The time for completion of the project is 50 calendar days;
however, the project will most likely go into suspension due to the upcoming winter
months. The commencement of the project will take place towards the end of

90% of the project to be funded by the FAA in the amount of $3,471,089.44, 5% to be
funded by the State in the amount of $192,838.00 and 5% by the City, also in the

problems with sidewalk gaps, time completion and competitive costs. The streets
identified in District 1 for the project includes Lincoln Avenue and Strong Avenue from
North First Street to East Adams Avenue. This segment will complement the planned
reconstruction of the Sky City Park retaining wall and provide a pedestrian friendly path
up Lincoln Avenue hill to the park. The streets identified in District 3 include Country
Club Drive from Philipina to Logan Avenue. This will complete the curb and gutter
project started on the south end of the Country Club Drive last year. The Street
Department will follow up with an asphalt mill and overlay project after completion of the
concrete work. The streets identified in District 4 include Saguaro Drive from Day Street
to Red Bluff Court. This segment addresses sidewalks that are essentially set at street
level and should be raised. The streets identified in District 2 include Churchrock Street
from Toltec Drive to Vandenbosch. This segment addresses pedestrian safety
concerns that will only be heightened by the pending completion of the Churchrock
Extension paving project by the Street Department. The streets identified in District 3
include Red Rock Drive from Country Club Drive to Edith Avenue. This segment
addresses a safe route to school issue for Red Rock Elementary School walkers.
Based on the bid results, Mr. Henderson recommended award of the bid to H.O.
Construction in the amount of $1,465,236.34 including NMGRT. He recommended
approval of $78334.56 including NMGRT to DePauli Engineering & Surveying for
construction administration and quality assurance services for the project. The Finance
Department also requested approval of the consolidation of the revenue streams for the
project into two streams in Funds 311 and 202.
Discussion followed concerning letters sent by the City to all of the affected property
owners on County Club, the lack of participation by a property owner in District 1 which
creates a problem with granting a right-of-way for the project and the current problem
with students having to walk out into the street on their way to school at Red Rock
Elementary.
Following discussion, Councilor Garcia made the motion to approve the construction
contract award for the 2016-2017 Neighborhood Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk

14. Resolution No. R2016-39; 2018-2022 City of Gallup Infrastructure Capital
Improvement Plan (ICIP) Submission Stan Henderson, Public Works
—
Director
Mr. Henderson presented the proposed Resolution, the 2018-2022 City of Gallup lClP
and a spreadsheet consisting of the City’s 2016 Draft Legislative lClP Priority
Addendum. A copy of the 2016 Draft Legislative ICIP Priority Addendum is attached
hereto, marked as Exhibit B and made a part of these official Minutes. The New Mexico
Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) requires local governments to
systematically develop and annually submit a 5-year ICIP as a means of defining
development needs and identifying funding sources. The ICIP is then used by all State
agencies involved in funding local government projects as a means of analyzing
proposed capital outlay bills during the State legislative sessions. Mr. Henderson asked
the Mayor and Councilors for their final input and direction for prioritization of the
projects, tentative identification of the 2017 top five legislative priorities, and approval of
the projects listed in the form of a resolution. Based on public input at a meeting on July
27, 2016, interest was expressed for the reconstruction of the TDFL running track. In
addition, the Northwest New Mexico Council of Governments submitted the Coal
Avenue Event Street Reconstruction Project to the ICIP. Mr. Henderson reminded the
Mayor and Councilors that the ICIP is aligned with the City’s fiscally constrained
Community Improvement Plan (CIP) and is no longer in a wish list format.
Discussion followed concerning the projects and the conceptual project estimates listed
in the 2016 Draft Legislative ICIP Priority Addendum, the potential lack of capital outlay
funding from the State due to their current budget crisis, funding for the Downtown Coal
Avenue Alley Reconstruction Project Phase 2 and the possibility of issuing bonds in the
future to finance some of the projects.
Mr. Henderson proposed listing the 8 projects included under “other project
considerations” on the Addendum as project numbers 6-13. There was no objection
from the Mayor and Councilors.

Rudy Radosevich Memorial Sculpture
Bill Siebersma
Rudy Rodosevith Memorial
Kinetic Scuptute
The Memorial Committee decided
that a Icinetic bicycle sculpture
would effectively represent the
Rudy that we know and love. After
much searching and consideration,
we decided that Amos Robinson would
be a great artist for the project,
based on his years of experience
in producing durable stainless steel
kinetic bicycle sculptures.
In addition, Amos had a heart for
this project after doing his own
research on Rudy, and offered to
give a sustantial discount and work The Rudy Memorial Sculpture
with us to deliver and install the
piece in the downtown area.
After talking to many of Rudy’s /
bicycling friends, it was the
opinion of all that a road rider
would best represent Rudy on the
bike.
When I asked, Amos happily agreed
to use a rider position,appropriate
to the kind of riding Rudy loved.
The color blue was chosen because
it suits Rudy’s calm and gentle
manner on the bike and in life.
See amosrobinson.com for more
details about the artist.
Site Alternate A
I
The committee has decided that
Site A is the best alternative
as it has no ground level or
height obstacles.
The installation Site B at the
downtown walkway was chosen in
cooperation with the BID. The low
masonary wall is a problem as it
makes the sculpture vulnerable to
being touched while spinning, thus
causing a safety issue.
Installation engineering and
permitting is being provided by

Summary:
The proposed Resolution would declare the second Monday in October as “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” in
Gallup. The City has no control to replace or eliminate a federal holiday, such as Columbus Day; however, I
believe we should support, honor and respect all Native Americans by instituting an Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE SECOND MONDAY IN OCTOBER AS “INDIGENOUS
PEOPLES’ DAY” IN THE CITY OF GALLUP, NEW MEXICO
WHEREAS, Indigenous Peoples’ Day (also known as Native American Day) is a holiday celebrated
in various areas of the United States; and
WHEREAS, Indigenous Peoples’ Day began as a counter-celebration to Columbus Day, promoting
Native American culture and commemorating the history of Native American peoples; and
WHEREAS, the Gallup City Council recognizes the occupation of lands in the western hemisphere
by Indigenous People since time immemorial; and
WHEREAS, Gallup is rich in Native American culture, art, history and tradition and is widely known
as the “Indian Capital of the World,” for its location in the heart of Native American lands; and
WHEREAS, the City of Gallup values the many contributions to our community through Indigenous
Peoples’ knowledge, labor, philosophy, arts and deep culture that have substantially shaped the
character of Gallup; and
WHEREAS, the people of Gallup promote Native Americans practicing their talents in creating
handmade jewelry, arts and crafts as well as expressing their traditional customs through song and
dance; and
WHEREAS, the Gallup City Council expresses its support, respect and honor to all Native
Americans by establishing a day to celebrate the cultures and thriving spirit of all Native Americans
rather than focusing on an era that lead to countless years of enormous efforts and resistance
against Indigenous People.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Governing Body of the City of Gallup, New Mexico,
that the second Monday in October be declared as
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ DAY
in the City of Gallup and call upon all citizens, businesses, organizations and public entities to
celebrate and commemorate the culture and history of all Native Americans.
