Commission hears report that Flatlander sculpture fell; staff says freeze likely and repairs planned
Summary
Commission staff reported the Flatlander sculpture was found on the ground; staff described water likely got into a hollow area, froze, and burst two welds; Phil Proctor will inspect and attempt repairs next week and police camera review showed no suspicious activity.
A commission member reported that the Flatlander sculpture was found on the ground last week and described visible structural damage. "We got a call saying, hey, Flatlander's ... it was on the ground," the liaison said, adding that staff found water inside a hollow portion and "a chunk of ice fell out," suggesting freezing likely caused the damage and two welds "were basically busted."
Staff said Phil Proctor will inspect the sculpture next week to assess repairs. The liaison also said police checked video cameras and "didn't see anything," and staff will move the sculpture to storage and coordinate repairs. No criminal activity was reported in the meeting; the commission did not take a formal vote but recorded the incident and planned follow-up.
