Director of Public Works Olson stated that the City could flatten out the area a little at no <br />cost. <br />Councilmember Dehen asked if we couldn't have something with a water feature. <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood stated that we talked about adding a pump to re-circulate <br />water in the pond and that would work pretty well. He described how that would tie in. <br />He added that he liked the public art idea. <br />Councilmember Jeffrey inquired, if the Rotary is given the "green light", how much <br />money do you need and how much have you raised thus far. <br />Mr. Fischer stated that they would need to get approval from the City and then get final <br />approval from the Rotary and then it would take about three weeks to build a website. <br />They have raised about. $25,000 to $30,000 and the budget they came up with is a need <br />for about $200,000. <br />Councilmember McGlone, to Mr. Fischer and Ivls. Thompson, stated that in a two-year <br />period of time -how do you propose to do that -getting one brick at a time so to speak. <br />It doesn't sound like you are prepared enough to work within our timelines. With <br />ongoing construction and the "what ifs" -what if the Rotary can't complete this project - <br />then who completes the construction. <br />Mr. Fischer stated that they have two concepts and time lines. They will not plan to start <br />this immediately. We are thinking it would be about 12 months before we can start. All <br />pavers would be put in at the start -orders for verbiage would be batched and put in. <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that he thought there was a process for engraving the <br />pavers once they are in place. He expressed a bit of concern for long-term maintenance. <br />We should meet with the artist at some point and talk about this. <br />Mr. Fischer stated they have had many questions about which artisan materials were <br />chosen based on some of these concerns. We can have him write up a report about the <br />materials. <br />Mr. Ulrich mentioned liability issues and the policy for the engraving language on the <br />pavers -staff will research that and bring back to Council what we learn. <br />Mayor Ramsey stated he likes the project but suggested that it may need to be pushed <br />further west. We are not doing that part right now but it's closer to trails so we would not <br />have to create a trail to get to the memorial. <br />Councilmember McGlone expressed concern about people being in there rollerblading on <br />the bricks. <br />City Council Work Session -March 30, 2010 <br />Page 4 of 7 <br />
