The council voted unanimously to accept a donation of Jambo, a new stainless-steel sculpture by artist David Strohmeyer, offered by Todd Lockwood. Amanda Holland, chair of the public art committee, said the committee endorses the donation and that the piece would be sited at the Veterans Memorial Park entrance where it will be visible to park users and passing traffic.
Todd Lockwood described the piece and donor intent: "Jambo is the word hello in Swahili," he said, and the committee proposed an interpretive sign to include the artist and donor information. Staff said final placement and installation details will be coordinated with Parks and Recreation and scheduled for installation in spring.
