For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on proceeding with the design and construction of the fountain at Catvada Eye.-Cont’d. instead of a waterfall there would be much less splash over and it was a better way of conserving the water.
Commissioner Cox
stated her objections to this item. She said this was one of the few landmarks and no disrespect to Valley Electric but the design looked like it belonged in a city hail. She knew there was insurance money to take care of the repairs needed from the car hitting the fountain and felt from the people she spoke to that it needed to be repaired and it needed to look like it did. She pointed out most of the water was recycled so there was not enough water evaporating, but if money was being lost then the duck pond with sprinklers running needed to be looked at. Commissioner Cox said she would vote against the item.
Commissioner Borasky
suggested continuing this item as he did not think it was going to go anywhere today.
Commissioner Koenig
asked Ms. Lee to speak to the necessary repairs.
Ms. Lee
said right now it cost a little over $7,400.00 a year to operate the fountain in its current condition with evaporation and wind blow off averaging about 12,300 gallons a month. The current cost to repair was $16,245.00
Commissioner Cox
said she believed that the insurance company was going to cover $15,000.00 of that.
Commissioner Schinhofen
asked who was paying for this, to which Ms. Lee responded VEA was.
Commissioner Cox
stated it was not the expense she had an issue with. It was the history of the fountain itself and everything else she stated.
