Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.
The granite fallen officer memorial was commissioned by the Police Athletic League in conjunction with the development of the PAL building located at 1240 Bayaud Avenue Denver Colorado in 2006. Funds to construct the memorial came from money that the late Bill Daniels left for the Police Athletic League in his final arrangements.
In October of 2020 the Police Athletic League sold the property at 1240 Bayaud to the City of Denver (FINAN-202055776/20-1041). In the contract under Recitals of the sale agreement, PAL was to maintain ownership of the gym equipment some refrigerators and the granite memorial. The sales agreement also stipulates that all property not removed from the facility by the closing date will be conveyed to the city.
Unfortunately, due to the COVID pandemic the granite memorial was not removed by PAL prior to the closing and was therefore conveyed to the city.
Since the memorial is important to honoring, remembering, and preserving the history of Denver Law Enforcement, the Denver Police Museum, a non profit organization would like to acquire the memorial. The memorial is now located at District 1.
