Commission seeks town approval path for proposed swimmer sculpture at Aquatic Center
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a proposal for a swimmer sculpture by local artist Gail Falwell and agreed to wait for Parks & Recreation director Eric Bredlinger to consult department heads and determine whether formal town approval is required before pursuing donors.
Commissioners discussed installing a swimmer sculpture by local artist Gail Falwell at the Aquatic Center and agreed to delay fundraising or donor outreach until town staff confirm whether the design change requires formal approval.
Speaker 2 said she contacted Eric Bredlinger, the town’s parks and recreation director, who plans to discuss the design change with department heads and present it to the town as needed to determine next steps. “Do we have the permission to move forward with the sculpture? … He’s meeting with department heads. He wanted to take it in front of the town and see if we needed official approval or not,” Speaker 2 said.
Commission members emphasized they will not pursue donors or finalize installation plans until they have confirmation of approval from Bredlinger’s review. Speaker 2 said she will follow up when Bredlinger returns to provide the commission with the town’s determination.
No formal vote or approval was recorded in the transcript. The item will be revisited once town staff report back.
