Subject: Jon Hunt Plaza 2009 Repairs
Date: February 19, 2010
Reflecting on last summer and planning for this summer's Hunt Plaza events, I realized
that I had not thanked the Redevelopment Commission for its support. So, may I say
"Thank You" for approving funding for repairs and upgrades to the Jon Hunt Plaza /Park
and Fountain this past summer. Following the repairs/upgrades we have reduced, as
desired, the operating costs of approximately $10,000.00 to the actual summer '09 cost of
$3,260.00. An annual summer expense of approximately $3,500.00, for labor and
chemicals to maintain the fountain, is manageable for this summer.
Clearly the South Bend community appreciates the Jon Hunt Plaza and the various events
that occur there. So upkeep is a necessity. When in season, those casual lunches or
"Fridays by The Fountain" events mean much more when the fountain is in good working
order for all to enjoy. Again, thank you for your support.
