09:47 AM -- Capitol Building Advisory Committee Recommendation

Ms. Georgianna Contiguglia, Chair, Capitol Building Advisory Committee (CBAC), presented two advisory recommendations for the committee's consideration, including: (1) the indefinite extension of the Creative Capitol art exhibit in the basement rotunda of the State Capitol building; and (2) a fund-raising proposal from Colorado Preservation, Inc. (CPI) for repairs to the State Capitol dome. Committee members received a letter from CBAC concerning these recommendations, prepared by Legislative Council Staff (Attachment E). Ms. Contiguglia explained that the Creative Capitol exhibit was originally approved for a period of one year. She added that the cost of the exhibit is entirely borne by the Colorado Council on the Arts (council) and that the council oversees the installation of the exhibits. She described the discussion the CBAC had regarding the decision to recommend that the exhibit be extended indefinitely and explained that the memorandum of understanding between the CBAC and the council allows for either party to terminate the agreement for due cause. Representative Vigil disclosed his membership on the council board. Discussion commenced about the selection of artwork for past and future exhibits.

Mr. James Hare, Executive Director, CPI, joined Ms. Contiguglia at the table to discuss the fund-raising proposal for repairs to the State Capitol dome. Committee members received a copy of the fund-raising proposal dated August 2, 2010 (Attachment F). Ms. Contiguglia described the review of the fund-raising proposal undertaken by CBAC. She next outlined the revisions to the proposal suggested by CBAC (see page 2 of Attachment E) and explained that the suggested revisions were incorporated into the August 2, 2010, draft of the fund-raising proposal. Discussion turned to how moneys raised by CPI will be transferred to the state. Ms. Contiguglia next explained that the CBAC approved the creation of a sub-committee to consider whether the use of the fund-raising logo by project sponsors is tasteful and appropriate. Discussion ensued. She added that Mr. Hare has agreed to regularly attend CBAC meetings to update the committee about fund-raising efforts. Discussion ensued about the various reporting requirements included in House Bill 10-1402.

10:04 AM

Discussion continued on the topic of the creation of a sub-committee. Mr. Hare clarified the objective of the sub-committee and explained that a smaller committee could be available to meet more frequently to answer questions as they arise. He explained that there could be as many as 150 advertisements carrying the fund-raising logo and that corporate sponsors may need a more rapid response to advertising questions than is possible with the regular committee meeting schedule. Discussion continued on this topic. Ms. Contiguglia commended CPI for the good working relationship they have established with CBAC. Discussion turned to the rights and benefits for various levels of sponsorship and recognition of the efforts of CPI thus far in the process of establishing a fund-raising campaign.
