Council chooses canopy with masonry, rejects fountain for new City Hall
Summary
Council approved reinstating a masonry canopy (quote ~ $75,901) for the new City Hall and voted to drop a proposed water fountain (quoted at $148,764), citing ongoing maintenance concerns for the fountain and a preference to protect equipment/staff from weather.
Council considered change orders for the City Hall project that would reinstate previously removed amenities: a fountain quoted at $148,764 and a canopy option with masonry quoted at $75,901 (or a lower‑cost canopy without masonry at $68,590). Council members voiced concerns about long‑term fountain maintenance and favored the masonry canopy because it provides weather protection for equipment and staff.
One councilmember moved to approve the canopy with masonry and eliminate the fountain; the motion was seconded and the mayor announced the motion carries. Staff will proceed with the canopy option and remove the fountain from the City Hall change orders list.
