Resident proposes 3D-printed monarch totem pole for park; asks committee to place item on future agenda
Summary
A public commenter described a monarch butterfly totem pole and said she will 3D-scan and print a version to donate to a South Padre park; she asked the committee to place the item on a future agenda for formal consideration.
A resident urged the South Padre Island Parks Committee to consider a 3D-printed version of a monarch butterfly life-cycle totem pole for placement in a city park and asked that the item be placed on a future committee agenda.
The commenter, who identified herself as a former teacher and a Master Gardener, described the origin and design of the original totem pole, said the city of Granbury had designated October as “Monarch Month,” and said she planned to 3D-scan the original and donate a printed replica to the park. She said the replica would make it easier to reproduce the artwork and could be used as an educational piece in parks and at children’s events.
Committee members responded during the public-comment period that the suggestion could be brought forward as a formal agenda item. A committee member noted the meeting’s public-comment rules and said staff would take note of the request for follow-up.
The commenter said the work could include a curriculum component and that she would like to pursue the project formally if the committee agreed to place it on a future agenda. The committee did not take any formal action on the suggestion during the meeting.
The request originated in public comment and will require a formal agenda entry for committee discussion and any possible approval or acceptance of donated artwork.
