SUMMARY:
The Monument to Women Veterans, Inc. (MWV) is the lessee of the city-owned property commonly known as the Amtrak Train Station and parking lot located at 930 East Heinberg Street. The group proposes to erect a memorial monument to women veterans at this site.
In 2020, The CRA allocated $100,000 to the group for landscaping and related site improvements at this property. A miscellaneous appropriations agreement must be executed to make the awarded funds available to the MWV group. The distribution of funds will be based on the project budget and can be reimbursed to MWV or paid directly to the vendor at the request of MWV for documented allowable expenses as detailed in the appropriations agreement.
A detailed budget of eligible expenditures has been prepared as a part of the funding agreement. One budget item that remains to be clarified in the agreement is the use of the final $15,000. The CRA is asked to determine whether this amount may be used toward an artist’s design miniature of the monument or limited to landscape related improvements, such as a concrete pedestal or pad for the monument and/or concrete walking path to/around the monument.
Once this budget item is approved by the CRA, the funding agreement can be executed and MWV can submit for reimbursement through the City Finance Department, following the standard procedures for reimbursement.
