Summary

A citizen letter read at the meeting requested permission to add a second small bronze plaque to a newly installed donated drinking fountain; staff said the previously approved small plaque likely suffices and the donation was well received.

Tony read a letter from Joan Beacons thanking the committee for approving a drinking fountain she donated and requesting permission to attach a second small bronze plaque beside the fountain's tower.

The letter explains the plaque would express gratitude to Hadley Construction, Belvedere Public Works and the Belvedere Community Foundation. Tony said the commission had already approved a small plaque and that, in his view, additional approval for a second small plaque was likely unnecessary under the city's policy for commemorative donations.

The committee received the letter positively; the chair and staff said the fountain looks good and that they will work through placement logistics for benches and other furniture at the site.
