Committee votes to investigate donation of decorative Lindell Bank clock
Summary
Staff recounted the clock's history and asked permission to investigate a possible donation from Lindell Bank; the committee voted to look into repair, maintenance costs, and relocation options before any commitment.
Planning staff asked the committee whether the city should investigate accepting a decorative post clock that originally accompanied a bank branch. The clock was installed years ago by Rockwood Bank and later maintained by Lindell Bank; staff said Lindell Bank owner Leon Hall offered the city the clock and staff requested direction to examine the clock's condition, maintenance needs and any transfer details.
The department said the clock had not been well maintained in recent months and that staff would confirm the cost to operate, maintenance schedule and whether the original documentation would be available before taking custody. A council member suggested the city could find a more visible location, such as near Village Green, if the owner were willing to donate and allow relocation.
A motion to investigate the donation and report back to the committee passed on voice vote.
