5. OLDIBUSINESS (Continued) <br />b. Mall drinking faucets replacement. C. Wayne Brownell suggested <br />that the Commission might be interested in hearing about this <br />since summer is coming up. Mr. Ward came to South Bend and met <br />with Jim Zakrocki of the Hickey Company, and they have taken the <br />drinking fountain off the Mall in front of what was the LaSalle <br />Hotel. They are going to furnish to us new parts for all five <br />drinking fountains. They found the difficulty to be with the <br />design of those parts, plus the fact that the bolts, or screws, <br />holding the casing to the concrete were not holding. As they <br />came loose, it was "like the motor mount on your car coming <br />loose." Nothing else fit, so they are going to replace all <br />the parts on all five drinking fountains, per a report from Mr. <br />Zakrocki. <br />r. Cira: What is the future then, if they have any more problems? <br />s it going to be easy to get parts so we don't have any more <br />roblems? <br />. Brownell: We don't know what the future is. We have been <br />ree years now fighting about this -- to get these fixed. <br />, I think we will get them fixed and, hopefully, they will <br />rk. <br />Ms. Derbeck: You say you are going to remove the fountain in <br />front of the LaSalle Hotel? Mr. Brownell replied that it has <br />already been removed, whereupon Ms. Derbeck asked "Will it be <br />replaced ?" <br />The Chair: They have taken it apart to see what the difficulty <br />is. . . <br />Mr. Brownell: I am reporting it because I didn't want anyone <br />to think it had been stolen. <br />The Chair: Robert, actually this is a board of public works <br />responsibility and jurisdiction, but we have found out what the <br />difficulty is and the contractor is willing to go ahead and do <br />this, and we said, "go ahead and do it." <br />. Derbeck: Would it be under warranty? <br />Mr. Brownell: Yes, it is under warranty. We don't have to pay <br />for it. <br />Chair: Ok, that's good news. Proceed. <br />6.
