Council hears updates on fountain installation; contractors reported damaged electrical components
Summary
Council was told the fountain delivery included damaged electrical components and installers were reluctant to proceed; the town said it had deposited funds for vault/electrical work and awaits the contractor's fix or further guidance.
Staff member (S5) told the council that the fountain delivery included vault and electrical parts that were damaged and that the installing contractor had expressed concern about bringing the parts to the site until repairs or replacements are made.
S5 said the town had deposited money for the vault and electrical work but that some components were damaged in shipment and appeared to have been unloaded without attention; the installer reported broken electrical parts and expressed unwillingness to complete installation until the issues are addressed. Chair (S4) asked whether the contractor had indicated next steps; S5 said he had not received a firm plan from the vendor and that the town needed a resolution.
Council members discussed following up with the contractor group (the fountain design group and the installer were described as separate) and asked staff to press for a timeline and to report back when there is a plan to complete the installation.
