the challenges added by a portion of the recommendation and the physical size and weight of the
monument. There was an inquiry about the cost and the timeline of removal, but staff did not
have estimates. If the monument is removed, Mayor Fox recommended assigning the task of
finding a new site to City staff. Council Member Robbie Guard said the decision before Council
now, is whether the monument stays or goes. It was noted that the recommendation states the
monument is to be removed immediately and stored until a site could be found. Mayor Fox stated
that the Council could make their own Resolution or amend the Resolution accepting the Historic
Preservation Commission's recommendation.
