As you have read in the paper there has been a “plan” to install statues
at the intersection of US2/93. One statue, a deer, is complete and one
statue, a bear is on hold. Up to now the plan has been on hold because
the city does not have the funds to complete the installation or finish
the bear.
Enter Mr. Gary Collier. Mr. Collier has come to me and offered to do the
installation work as a gift to the city.
I am not sure how to proceed on this because I don’t know if, for
example, there is a design for the install pads or if the proper
permissions from MDT have been obtained.
I think what we need to do is form a committee consisting of: public
works, parks, and airport to work with Mr. Collier and see if we can
make this improvement to the city at little or no cost.
If some other dept or person would like to be involved in this let me
know by tomorrow.
