Monument Update

From an email sent last week:

"Dear Entrance Project Supporters,

We are excited to announce that the re-design for the City Entrance Project has been completed and new bids have been published, with a bid deadline ofNovember 28. This initial bid package includes the specs for 3 entrances; Eastside by City Hall, Forest, and Hillside.

Following the deadline, our Infrastructure Committee will meet to review the bids and decide on the next steps. If we receive bids that our Committee believes are feasible, an EAG meeting will be scheduled to discuss the results and decide on a recommendation to take to the Board of Aldermen for City Council approval.

It has been our plan to reserve pledge requests until after Council approval. However, we do not know if we can reach that goal before the end of 2011. Should any donors feel confident enough in our progress prior to year end, or have any tax considerations that might be of benefit in 2011, we would welcome pledge donations at any time. Otherwise, following Council approval, we will begin pledge fulfillment and commence with construction in 2012.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to sharing with you a new image for Weatherby Lake."
