APPROVAL OF AGENDA No agenda used one item for discussion 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES of August 26, 1986 Minutes were approved as submitted 4. OLD BUSINESS A. Discussion: Recommendations for Memorial Park Projects The Committee had requested the architect return to this meeting with a revised design which would include those comments from the last meeting. Mr. Gintoli presented that revised drawing and further explained the revisions. The Committee had requested concrete walkways and asked Mr. Gintoli to design as much walkway as possible given the amount of money set aside for walkways. Mr. Gintoli presented sketch #1 which depicted a much smaller area, however, still kept the theme of a meandering path and would still be in the same amount of money. In Sketch #1, the gazebo and fountain are separated but connected by the walkway. The flagpole is at the western end of the park. Sketch #2 placed the gazebo closer to the Spur Hwy. The Committee eliminated Sketch #1. The Committee asked about the design for the gazebo. While the gazebo design was not completed, Mr. Gintoli was able to do a rough sketch, the Committee approved of the sketch and asked Mr. Gintoli to continue along those lines. Mr. Gintoli informed the Committee that Dr. Mrs. Hansen had picked a design for the fountain, it will be in the $3,000 range and will have a plume which will reach approximately 18' high and will include a wide spray as well. The $3,000 will cover the mechanics of the fountain. Dr. Mrs. Hansen and Suzanne Little are awaiting a letter from the manufacturer before proceeding. MEMORIAL PARK COMMITTEE BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE September 2, 1986 Page 2 The Committee inquired about the planting plan, Mr. Gintoli assured the Committee that the planting plan will be forthcoming after the Council has approved the design sketch. The Council will be meeting Wednesday evening, September 3rd. Mr. Gintoli will be at that meeting to present the sketches and this Committee's recomendations at that meeting. Chairman Wisniewski asked if Mr. Gintoli if he would be designing the sign also, answer yes. It will be similar to those already used by the City, example: the Library sign. The Committee next discussed the plaques, again suggesting that a common, hopefully, non destructible material could be used. It was further suggested that a cement type material be used and placed according to the planting plan and at the time of donation, the material can then be engraved or sandblasted. The Committee unanimously agreed with this suggestion. b. Airport Triangle Park Project The Committee has been concerned in that no word has come from Mr. Boysen concerning the ordering of the railroad ties or the project. Mr. Boysen has been sent agendas and has had contact with Planning Specialist Loper, however, has not responded by coming to the meetings or by letter or phone to the Committee. Chairman Wisniewski and Councilwoman Bailie as well as Planning Specialist Loper will attempt to contact Mr. Boysen or Mr. Knight prior to the next meeting. 5. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. The Committee will meet Next Tuesday, September 9th, noon, in the City Hall Conference Room. Janet A. Loper, Planning Specialist Secretary to the Committee
