Abstract

Relating to a memorial for Buffalo Soldiers.

Provisions

1.      Authorizes ADOA to provide for the placement of a memorial commemorating the Buffalo Soldiers in Wesley Bolin Plaza. (Sec. 1)

2.      Specifies that all fundraising and contracts for design and construction of the memorial are the sole responsibility of the proponents. (Sec. 1)

3.      Contains a delayed repeal date of October 1, 2021. (Sec. 1)

Current Law

All monuments and memorials in the governmental mall must be authorized by legislation. In order for a monument or memorial to be placed in the government mall, the proponents must first submit a concept to ADOA for the design and location for the memorial.  ADOA must then review the concept and determine the most appropriate location and dimensions for placement on the governmental mall. After the review, ADOA must submit its recommendations to GLMC. Once the review and recommendation process is completed, ADOA and GLMC must finalize the plans for the monument and the proponents of the bill must enter into a contract with ADOA specifying the conditions of the design, dimensions and location of the monument or memorial, a list of the artists, contractors and subcontractors that will be employed, the minimum dollar requirement for deposit in the monument and the memorial repair fund and a verification that all employees for the project are insured before construction. The approved monument must be built within two years of the effective authorization date (A.R.S § 41-1363).
