Imm COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT M9
FROM: Dave Romero, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Reconsideration of Turning Off Water in Three City Decorative Fountains
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, direct staff in desired action
BACKGROUND:
At its May 2, 1989 meeting, the. City Council considered the issue of decorative fountains,
worded in the agenda report as follows:
34. The three City fountains are on recirculating systems and use a negligible amount
of water. However there maybe a perception on the part of the public that these are
water users, and the Council may wish to make a symbolic statement by having them
turned off.
During the Council presentation, staff outlined three alternatives: 1) turn off all
fountains, 2) leave all fountains on, or 3) leave Mission Plaza fountain on, turn off the
other two. After considerable discussion, the City Council determined that it wished to
turn off all three fountains and place appropriate signs at each location giving the
reason.
The fountainl[s have now been turned off, although signs are not yet installed.
On May 12, the City received a letter from Martha Schwartz giving background history and
stating various reasons as to why she felt the fountain should be turned back on. The City
Council asked that the matter be brought before it at the next regular meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is Public Works Department staff recommendation that the fountains be left on and that
appropriate signing be placed to indicate that the water in the fountains is recirculated.
Attachment: Schwartz letter of 5/10/89
