Committee and Ms. Klein discussed repairs and determined repairs can be easily made
and parts should be readily available.
Ms. Klein and Committee reviewed the engineering drawings for the light sculptures and
Committee is in supports the overall design and materials.
Ms. Klein also discussed the materials that will be used; the pole will be aluminum with
an aluminum lampshade for the top piece. The base and finial will be stainless steel.
Ms. Klein provided a sample of the fiber optic lighting and Committee was in support of
both the materials and lighting choice.
The fiber optic lighting will only emit light but will not provide directional lighting. The
functional lighting will direct light. The lighting can be dimmed or used with a timing
mechanism.
Ms. Klein stated she is currently on schedule and will be coordinating with the contractor;
she is ordering the pole from Valmont and will hope they can provide the pieces
consistent with the schedule.
Committee is concerned about potential injuries with the finial design but Ms. Klien
assured Committee she does not believe there are safety issues. Committee stated they
approve of the concept and the over all design and materials.

Planning Manager Elizabeth Chamberlain provided staff with examples of proposed site
furnishings for the South Division Street Promenade project and the City Hall Plaza
Improvement project.
Mr. Chamberlain stated they are at 60% for the promenade design. Committee and Ms.
Chamberlain reviewed the proposed site furnishings and Committee proposed the
following:
• Committee prefers the taller bike rack in black, the first of the two on page
three of the agenda modification, for both the South Divison Street Promenade
and the City Hall Plaza.
• Committee selected the black, backless benches with no arms, the first of two
choices on page 4, for both the City Hall Plaza and the South Divison Street
Promenade.
• Committee selected the upper trash/recycle can from page 5 for both the City
Hall Plaza and the South Divison Street Promenade.
Committee asked staff provide some markings along the sidewalk where the Marvel

boundaries will be.
