Collier Pool Public Art Project
At the March 7th Special Called meeting it was decided that recommendation for the City to enter into an
agreement with Monument Fine Art & Sculpture Conservation was tentative upon Monument's
agreement to add 20% more birds/shade to their revised proposal. Monument agreed, adding 27% more
birds to their structure. They also agreed to exchange some of the smaller birds originally proposed to
the larger birds which will also provide more shade. Therefore, City Council will be considering the ACC's
recommendation to enter into an agreement with Monument for the fabrication and installation of a Public
work of art at Collier Pool at their meeting today.
