A resident told the meeting that a work that has been in place since 1979 has deteriorated but continues to be respected, and said the matter is not simply repair but amplification. "There's been lots of different iterations. Of course, this has been here since 1979. So that's a long time for me to sit on a ball without much defacing being done to it. So that speaks volumes to me. That despite the fact that it's, you know, deteriorated somewhat, people still respect value," the resident said.
The resident characterized the work as "kind of heartbroken" and said the intention is not "fixing a broken window" but "making its voice a little louder." No formal motions or votes were recorded in the provided transcript regarding the item.
