Re: Authorization to Fund Legion Memorial Relocation
As part of the Downtown watermain and street improvement project, the concrete
pad and block pedestal in front of the Legion memorial wall in Levee Park will need to
be removed. The plans for the project included replacement of the concrete pad. The
pedestal was not included in the project as this is a specialty item not typically
constructed by a street and utility contractor, and it is located within the public right of
way. The American Legion was asked to dismantle the pedestal and move it out of the
construction limits, and replace it once construction has been completed.
The American Legion has asked the City to temporarily remove the pedestal and
return it once construction is completed. As this item was not included in the
construction contract and could result in a costly change order, Council is requested to
authorize the City to reimburse the American Legion for its cost to temporarily remove
and return the pedestal.
