FOUNTAIN FOR
Ur. Glaves showed the councilmen the location for
CIVIC CENTER
the proposed fountain which had been staked out in
b3ALL
the Civic Center Mall area. He said that Mr. Varner,
r.rchitect for the Public Safety Building, in dis-
cussing the proposed fountain, had recommended that
the sidewalk not be changed as it would ruin the
depth of the mall. Councilman Brown said that after
talking to Mr. Varner, he had come to the conclusion
that the sidewalk should not be changed. Councilman
Hunnell felt the present design of the fountain was
too high. City Manager Glaves explained that at the
previous Council -meeting Councilman Culbertson had
suggested that the sidewalk curve around the fountain
rather than be immediately adjacent thereto as shown
on the plans, or the fountain should be scaled down
in order to have some distance between it and the
sidewalk.
ADJOURNMUT
Mr. Putnam suggested several alternates such as a
weir type with water falling from one level to another,
or a rectangular shape without trays, but using
bubblers. He then recommended that the fountain be
12 feet wide, so as to leave some room between it
and the sidewalk, and that it be designed with three
square pools of different heights from 4 feet in
height down to 2 feet. He suggested using red and
amber lights. Public Works Director Jones felt that
4 feet was too high, also, it would look better to
have the highest pool in the center.
F_fter further discussion, it was moved by Councilman
Brown that the City accept a fountain consisting of
three tanks each 12 feet square and each with a
bubbler, the center tank to be 30 inches high and
the other tanks 18 inches. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Hunnell and carried. qtr. Putnam is
to make a rendering of the fountain and have it
ready by July 17.
On motion of Councilman Brown, the Council adjourned
to yianday, July 17, 1967, at 5 p.m.
