Council considers courtyard fountain using old well, and sign-work for Rosewood Center
Summary
Councilors discussed using an active old well to power a recirculating fountain at Charlotte Park Courtyard, and considered vendor options for Rosewood Center sign updates including sole-source concerns and sponsorship possibilities.
Councilors revisited a water issue at Charlotte Park Courtyard and heard a proposal to turn an active old well into the water source for a recirculating waterfall fountain.
One councilor described the idea as a low-cost, historically minded feature: "I would really like to see the history of Liberty still be used instead of forgotten and hidden under a plate," and proposed a pump and sensors to recycle well water so the fountain would not use the city's potable supply. The council discussed safety measures such as gated access with keys for public works or the property owner, the possibility of involving the career center for student projects, and outreach to potential sponsors to underwrite construction and signage costs.
Separately, councilors briefly addressed Rosewood Center sign updates and noted the current procurement appears to be a sole-source situation; they encouraged staff to consider more competitive options and to review costs before proceeding.
No funding decisions were made during the meeting.
