1. “Marco Man” Sculpture – Update
The Chairwoman will work with Dana Souza, City Landscape Architect, Mike McGee and Martin Pinckney from American Engineering to determine a suitable base for the sculpture. The Chair will convey the Committee’s recommendation to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee.
The Committee members expressed concern about the interim location of the Marco Man if the permanent site at the City Campus is not available when the sculpture needs to be moved from its present location. Concern was also expressed that the City Campus location is not the location the Committee determined when they toured the potential areas.
