Chair Barten referenced the fireplace design and asked if reflector shields should be added to allow more use during the shoulder seasons. Parks & Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood agreed that would be included in the design, with workspace on the sides. Consensus of the Commission was to direct staff to move forward with the RFP for the project.
