City Manager Szerlag asked if he was referring to Bollards, and he said the poles <br />and the bollards, and City Manager Szerlag suggested talking about this tomorrow at the <br />workshop when we are a little fresher, when they go over the Capital Projects, there is the <br />issue of scrapping what is already up there at a cost. Mayor Edelcup said what they are <br />trying to decide is to leave the ones that are currently there that we don't want to scrap those <br />and to go forward. <br /> <br />Assistant City Manager Vera asked for a consensus from the Commission noting that the <br />sculpture for the Town Center Park is ready, and asked for guidance as to when to put it up. <br />Mayor Edelcup suggested mid August or to wait until more residents are back. Assistant <br />City Manager Vera said the sculpture is in a warehouse and the artist wants to get it over here <br />and get paid. Mayor Edelcup suggested getting it over here and schedule it sometime in <br />August. He asked when the next Sunny Serenade is, and Cultural and Human Services <br />Director Susan Simpson said September 20, 2006, and Mayor Edelcup suggested scheduling <br />it in the Town Center Park and we can do it all at the same time. <br /> <br />12C.

Mayor Edelcup said that since the report was just presented to them, they <br />have not had an opportunity to look at it in detail. He said in looking at it briefly it looks all <br />inclusive, it shows that we have options that gives us a cost range of about $200,000 to <br />$300,000, and he asked the Commission to look at it carefully so that we can discuss it at <br />perhaps the Budget Workshop tomorrow morning, we can either add it on then or hear it in <br />September. He said his feeling is to try to hold it as close to the $200,000 number as <br />possible. Commissioner Iglesias said to try to get people to sponsor, and Mayor Ede1cup <br />agreed, we can look for people to underwrite part of the cost. <br /> <br />Public Speakers: Janet Cini <br /> <br />Mayor Edelcup thanked the Committee members for putting this document together as it is <br />very comprehensive and he appreciates all their time and effort.
