Analysis

This resolution authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to issue a permit, which will allow IN:SITE to install, maintain and remove a temporary art project in the Knapp Street Bridge House and in its adjacent public right-of-way.

Body

Whereas, The Milwaukee Arts Board has offered to fund art to be created by artists of IN:SITE on the subject two sites as well as other sites throughout the Park East Redevelopment Corridor; and

Whereas, A general liability policy from Cincinnati Insurance will be in place by late June 2009; and

Whereas, The art will be installed in July 2009 and will be removed by November 30, 2009; and

Whereas, The Commissioner of Public Works cannot issue a permit allowing installation of a temporary art project without authorization from the Common Council; and

Whereas, The Park East Redevelopment Plan and the Downtown Comprehensive Plan support public art and open spaces; and

Whereas, IN:SITE shall install and maintain the temporary art at its own expense; IN:SITE shall hold the City of Milwaukee and its agents harmless and shall accept all responsibility for any and all liability that may arise through the implementation of the rights granted through the permit; IN:SITE shall remove, at its own expense, the temporary art project when so ordered for reasons of public necessity and shall restore the sites to their former condition in conformity with the standards established by the Commissioner of Public Works; and IN:SITE shall reimburse all Department of Public Works costs incurred as part of this installation; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works is authorized to issue a permit to IN:SITE allowing the artists to install and maintain a temporary art project in the Knapp Street Bridge House and in its adjacent public right-of-way; and, be it

Further Resolved, That before issuing the permit, the Commissioner of Public Works shall review the specific proposed locations for the temporary art to ensure there are no impacts upon public safety and convenience; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the permit allowing installation of the temporary art shall be premised upon the following: IN:SITE shall install and maintain the temporary art at its own expense; IN:SITE shall hold the City of Milwaukee and its agents harmless and shall accept all responsibility for any and all liability that may arise through the implementation of the rights granted through the permit; IN:SITE shall remove, at its own expense, the temporary art project when so ordered for reasons of public necessity and shall restore the sites to their former condition in conformity with the standards established by the Commissioner of Public Works; and IN:SITE shall reimburse all Department of Public Works costs incurred as part of this installation.
