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.

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.

Jackie McKinney, Mayor ATTEST: Alfred Abeita II, City Clerk DiscussionlAction Topic I Greater Gallup Economic Development Corporation Annual Report Patty Lundstrom, Executive Director, Greater Gallup Economic Development Corporation (Information will be provided at the meeting) DiscussionlAction Topic 2 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.
