He also noted that the project leader, Ms. Moorehead, was present. Ms. Moorehead stated that during the initial investigation of the project it was discovered that the fountain and park were actually located on a different piece of property than the firehouse. The firehouse is located in the Sorin Addition and the park is located in the Hudson Addition, which has caused the city to require the Northeast Neighborhood Center to obtain a separate lease for the park. Ms. Moorehead also noted that because of city concerns the council has decided to rehabilitate the fountain, without making it operational. She further noted that the Northeast Center wants only to rehabilitate the fountain and add the benches to the park at this particular time and will possibly add the proposed foliage at a later date. Mr. Oxian asked if the proposed fence would be erected now. Ms. Moorehead stated that the fence would not be put up now, the only thing being proposed for immediate work is the fountain and the benches. Mrs. DeRose asked who the actual owner of the property is. Ms. Moorehead stated that the City holds the title to the land. Mrs. DeRose asked if the City had approved the proposed work. Ms. Moorehead stated that Pam Meyer was okay with proposed project, however, she has referred the project to their legal department. Mrs. DeRose stated that the Commission could not vote on the application without written approval from the owner.
