7. PROGRESS REPORTS (Cont'd <br />on whether it may be feasible to place a brick wall <br />around those fountains for protection. Mr. Zackrocki <br />said it is feasible but that aesthetically our de- <br />signers may have felt it was not necessary. On <br />further discussion pertaining to the "ice fountains," <br />and the water cascading down the side of the granite <br />pedestals, Mr. Zackrocki said his experience has been <br />that the water would adhere to the ice that is forming. <br />Initially the granite pedestals and the ice it forms <br />would not cause any oversplash and he didn't feel we <br />would have any problems with that. <br />Mr. Dan Akin, our site project engineer, with Clyde <br />E. Williams & Associates, advised this should be <br />checked, as he is not sure those particular fountains <br />were intended to be ice- scoped. He believed the only <br />fountain the designers had in mind to be "ice - scoped" <br />was the fountain that consists of three pyramids south <br />of Western Avenue, as ice fountains and for winter use. <br />Mr. Akin said he believes the fountains at the garage <br />and at the old post office building are not "ice foun- <br />tains" and this should be checked out. <br />Mr. Lennon recommended to have our staff architect, <br />Tony Germano, draw a rendering as per discussion, <br />take a look at it, and perhaps after the first couple <br />of months of the cold spell see what actually needs <br />to be done. Commissioners and legal counsel agreed <br />to this. <br />In reference to Mr. Kagel's concern, Mr. Kevin J. <br />Butler, Commission Legal Counsel, advised we wouldn't <br />want to have an accumulation of ice. The basic deter- <br />mination is whether or not these fountains are going <br />to create a hazardous condition during the winter <br />months, and with respect to the grates now, whether <br />or not the grates are dangerous and a determination <br />on this is going. to have to be made. <br />President Nimtz requested to have the staff architect <br />look at these fountains with the open grates and whether <br />a wall around it would be aesthetically correct, etc. <br />In regards to the Baer's vault that has been leaking, <br />Mr. Zackrocki said that is being corrected this after- <br />noon, or Monday morning at the very latest. The re- <br />presentative is in town today. The mastic has been <br />delivered and he is personally supervising the install- <br />ation. <br />Mr. Akin advised he will have some of the electrical <br />work inspected on Monday. In electrical testing, they <br />have found some of the problems. <br />=[10 <br />
