Councils for the eligible region. The Commission is also encouraged to share information in their circles.

landscaping around the piece. Parks would contract for install and then provide maintenance on landscaping.

are available on the website and will be helpful. Dusty will continue to work with design team. Next steps: Visit with
Bonnie to get on City Council agenda to get approval for approximate dollar figure. Then open call can be established.
