The Capitol Building Advisory Committee on May (meeting date not specified in the record) approved an ongoing inventory and the decommissioning of some objects from the Colorado State Capitol as identified at a February review, a committee member said.

Jeanette Chapman, legislative council staff, told the committee the inventory had been developed with help from History Colorado and several state offices and that staff needed a motion to meet statutory obligations. "For purposes of meeting our statutory obligations, I would like for the committee to actually have a motion and approve it in real time," Chapman said.

Committee members discussed three broad categories used in the inventory: objects to retain for future use in the building, pieces designated as historic that will remain in place, and items in disrepair that are candidates for decommissioning. Committee members emphasized reuse where possible — donating materials to nonprofits or making components available for craft reuse — and treating landfill as a last resort. "This may include in some cases permanent removal," Representative Linstadt said as she moved the committee to approve the ongoing inventory and decommissioning work.

Chair resolved the motion without recorded opposition: "Any objection to that? Seeing none, the motion passes," she said. The committee did not record a roll-call tally in the meeting transcript; the chair described the vote as unopposed.

Committee discussion and Chapman’s presentation noted prior work done on the Third Floor inventory and that a lengthy, multi-year review had informed the current list of items recommended for decommissioning. Committee members asked no additional procedural questions at the time of the vote, and staff were thanked for their multi-year effort to identify what should remain in the building.

Next steps described in the meeting include moving forward with the approved inventory process and the decommissioning steps already explained to the committee; staff emphasized prioritizing reuse and continuing coordination with History Colorado and other offices on historic determinations. No further formal actions were taken during that agenda item.
