Spring Green board approves temporary sign and bronze dog sculpture honoring Joel Marcus
Summary
Trustees approved a temporary memorial sign for Joel Marcus (to be reviewed in six months) and approved placement of a life‑size bronze German Shepherd sculpture and plaque; River Valley Commons will oversee fundraising and Public Works assistance was requested.
The Village of Spring Green Board of Trustees approved two requests to memorialize Joel Marcus at its May 13 meeting.
Trustee Damian Barta presented a visual for a temporary memorial sign; the board agreed to review the sign in six months or sooner if it became worn. Trustee Deb Miller moved to approve the temporary sign; Barta recused himself from that vote and the motion carried by voice vote.
Separately, resident Jane Hauser requested placement of a life‑size bronze German Shepherd sculpture with a plaque at the seating area between Baron Brooks and Jefferson Plaza. Hauser asked for assistance from Public Works for placement and noted potential need for temporary storage. She said River Valley Commons would oversee fundraising. Trustee Damian Barta moved to approve the request as presented; the motion was seconded and carried.
The minutes do not record fundraising amounts or installation dates; the board authorized placement at the indicated location and set a six‑month review for the temporary sign.
