Sculpture Placement - River Bend Plaza: Ed Bauer gave a <br />led report concerning placement of the Mooney piece which, in <br />ice, recommended a change in placement site as originally planned <br />the 16' sculpture would have to "fight with" 20' high trees which. <br />I no doubt grow taller and since the artist considers his piece <br />,teway" or "theme" piece, he felt there was better opportunity <br />ew this sculpture in the area opposite the LaSalle Hotel- in <br />sland. This particular site would be far more impressive and <br />fewer installation problems than the original site, since <br />possible removal of trees in order to properly place the piece <br />I cost $500 per tree, per Dave Burroff. Mr. Bauer indicated <br />!rsonally approved the location change..with supportive arguments. <br />Mr. elmen asked "you plan on moving only one piece, everything else <br />will remain the same, do we agree on this "? <br />SCULPTURE <br />PLACEMENT CHA <br />MOONEY -R -66 <br />Mr. Chenney objected to the move and said he did not believe the artist <br />should have the say of where the sculpture should be placed. <br />Mr. Wiggins moved to approve the change, Mr. Chenney seconded and motion <br />was carried. <br />d. Authority to close out rehab parcel #13 -8, R -57, George <br />H. and Ella Pope: Mr. & Ms. Pope were in attendance at the meeting <br />and here was alengthy discussion during Executive Session - which <br />was nterrupted by the necessity for calling the Regular Meeting to <br />order - discussion resumed following other business. Mr. Timothy <br />Walsh, Attorney for the Popes, made the following comments: "I would <br />like to sum up briefly, there were a number of unfortunate circum- <br />stances here - between the contractor and the owners - the type of <br />workmanship that was done, whether or not the contract terms have been <br />complied with, and that the Popes are now, and have been, living in a <br />home that has not been redeveloped to specifications and there is now <br />a limited amount of funds to cover any additional work because of the <br />cost of construction work today as opposed to when it began. We would <br />recommend to the Department that this matter be submitted to the con- <br />tractor and the inspector and they go over the work with the Popes <br />and see what has to be done, the work that has been done and see if <br />some amicable solution to the problem can be found—this would be <br />our ecommendation to this staff ". <br />Mr. <br />as f <br />time <br />betw <br />If w <br />Dixi <br />Mr. I <br />on tl <br />time <br />elmen asked who we would appoint and Mr. Lennon observed that <br />r as staff time goes, we frankly could not afford to spend more <br />- involving Kevin, Alford.... without a spirit of cooperation <br />en the two parties. There appears to be no way to reconcile this. <br />can serve as a mediating force, fine, otherwise we are "whistling <br />" again. <br />sutler reminded the Commission that basically, the contract period <br />iese rehab projects is sixty days and this should be adequate <br />...this one has gone on almost three years.
