6. OLD BUSINESS (Cont'd) <br />Mr. Butler answered in the affirmative, and the Chair said that <br />this is not new news. Mr. Butler added, "Right. I think Mr. <br />Miller does go beyond that though, that the planning- -the <br />development plan itself - -is not appropriate for that block, and, <br />of course, that is the item and matter we will discuss with Mr. <br />Jannotta." <br />Commissioner Wiggins said, "We appreciate Harrison's interest. <br />He formerly was employed here, you know, and it's nice that he <br />has a continuing interest in what we are doing. I am a little <br />surprised though that he hasn't retained his feeling that this <br />Commission has some expertise- in this matter and is able to <br />meet its responsibilities." <br />The Chair requested a motion be made that this letter be re- <br />ceived and placed on file. The motion was so made by Mr. <br />Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Cira and carried. <br />c. Reoort on Drinkinq Fountains discussed in Commission Meeting of <br />August 1, 1975: Mr. Brownell read this letter in its entirety, <br />dated August 5, 1975, from Mr. Patrick M. McMahon, Manager, <br />Bureau of Public Construction, and Mr.'Bill Slabaugh, Project <br />Engineer, to The Hickey Company, as Mr. Butler, Commission Legal <br />Counsel, had requested an update and status of the invoice for <br />the replacement parts in connection with the drinking fountains, <br />in Site Plan Blocks 5 and 6 on the River Bend Plaza. <br />Ideal Consolidated took the parts out of one of the fountains <br />that was not working and sent them to HAWS. The River Bend Plaza <br />Maintenance Crew activated the drinking fountain at Dainty Maid <br />Bakery by by- passing the damaged or faulty parts. <br />Mr. Slabaugh advised both of the drinking fountains previously <br />discussed in August 1st Commission meeting are now working, <br />along with the other drinking fountains on the Plaza. Mr. <br />Butler said the only action needed on this letter is to re- <br />ceive it and place on file, and to have Mr. Slabaugh stay on <br />top of this. The motion was so made by Mr. Wiggins, seconded <br />by Mr. Chenney and carried. <br />Mr. Larry Ford, Reporter for WSJV -TV, inquired if this was all <br />done within the past two weeks, why couldn'.t it have been done <br />earlier and not have had the outburst that occurred a couple of <br />weeks ago? They are not fixed the way they should be, but at <br />least the drinking fountains are working now. The Chair re- <br />ferred to the legal connotations and responsibility -in mainte- <br />nance as he and Mr. Butler had expressed in the last meeting. <br />Mr. Butler added that we made a determination, and since things <br />had continued for such a long period of time.and no repairs had <br />been made, it was within our province to go ahead, and through <br />the bypass process, have the fountains in working conditions, <br />pending the repair or installation of new parts. <br />REPORT ON <br />DRINKING <br />FOUNTAINS, <br />RIVER BEND <br />PLAZA, R -66 <br />
