Resolution R-17-159 given its second reading;
MOTION BY ALDERMAN WILSHIRE FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-17-159
Alderman Schoneman
Just a question: What is it a sculpture of and do we know where it’s going to go?
Mayor Donchess
Rather than really a representational sculpture it’s kind of a more abstract one of a roundish shape. And it’s
going to go in Rotary Park, just south of the Adult Learning Center. And | should have mentioned at the
beginning of the meeting that the dedication is Sunday at 1:00 p.m. If anybody would like to come, | would
certainly encourage your doing so.
Alderman Lopez
| would like to thank the Goyette’s for offering this and comment that Rotary Commons is getting quite a
collection. It’s turning into a little touring area for different sculptures.
Alderman Cookson
Has this been reviewed by the Board of Public Works?
Mayor Donchess
| believe it has, yes. | was not at the last meeting but | believe at that meeting they reviewed this and said yes.
Alderman Cookson
Tell me how that happens — that we get this for our first reading but the Board of Public Works has already
addressed it?
Mayor Donchess
| said “I think.”
