Committee approves sending letter to mayor Cicchetti on donated art lights and DPW installation
Summary
The committee voted to send a letter to Mayor Cicchetti about donated illuminated public art for Von Moll, discussing fabrication timing, voltage specs and DPW's installation plan; members asked staff to confirm technical details.
The Portsmouth Sister City Committee moved to send a letter to Mayor Cicchetti confirming acceptance of donated illuminated art for Von Moll and requesting city coordination on installation.
Members discussed details including fabrication lead time (the pieces will be made by a vendor in Naples), the need for electrical and voltage specifications compatible with city systems, and DPW's planned poles and substructure incorporated into the Von Moll reconstruction. One member asked whether the lights are intended to be year-round; speakers confirmed the intent is for a permanent installation.
After discussion the committee voted to forward the proposed letter to the mayor. Committee members asked staff to confirm technical specifications, logistics for shipping and handling, and how DPW will integrate the lights into the reconstruction schedule.
No specific installation dates or funding commitments beyond the inclusion in DPW plans were finalized at the meeting.
