Agenda Title:
Authorize Mayor and Finance Officer to Sign Memorandum of Agreement Between City of Rapid City and First Nations Sculpture Garden Inc. for Sculpture Garden in Halley Park
Summary:
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee considered the MOA at its meeting on July 11, 2013 and voted not to recommend that Council approve of the MOA.  Since that time, the MOA has been revised to include a provision that First Nations’ failure to begin construction of the sculpture garden within three years of the date of the MOA means that the rights and obligations under the Agreement will expire and the Agreement will terminate.
Funding Source & Fiscal Impact (if applicable):
If the sculpture Garden is constructed, the City will provide general maintenance of the garden of the same sort it currently provides for Halley Park, during the term of the Agreement.
Recommendation:
Action: Choose an item.  The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board voted 4-3 to recommend denial of the proposed Memorandum of Agreement at the Halley Park location and strongly recommend that First Nations work with Parks and Recreation staff to find a better location for this project.
