4 � <br /> TO: Mike Morrison <br /> FROM: Kathy Knapp ("The General ') <br /> DATE: April 8, 1997 <br /> RE: Your request for comments of preliminary plans for the foyer. <br /> Mike, I discussed the proposed foyer plans with staff and they expressed the following <br /> issues. <br /> 1. Concerns about the flags used as weapons. <br /> 2. Concerns about the flags being free standing and the potential <br /> for vandalism. <br /> 3. Concerns that children will hang off the proposed wall hanging <br /> planned for the right of the fountain. <br /> 4. Concerns regarding the numbers, sizes, and combinations of benches <br /> and chairs that may crowd the lobby and interfere with current senior <br /> citizen activities. (Some of the Seniors prefer their activities in <br /> • the foyer because of its location relative to the bathrooms, the <br /> added light, and pleasant atmosphere. They do not want to be moved <br /> into an inside room at this time.) <br /> 5. Concerns that if the plants on the top of the wall aren't permanently <br /> attached, that children will pull them down. (Currently we have <br /> noticed that kids have been playing in the fountain, removing the <br /> brass splash guards and dropping them in the basin below. These <br /> are not children enrolled in child care but have been children who <br /> have come into the building with their parents.) Anything decorative <br /> that is free standing or in reach of young children and teens appears to <br /> be fair game. I would suggest this be a consideration in the design. <br /> 6. A pay phone or two need to be installed in the area designated for <br /> them. (You may already be doing this, but I am unaware what is <br /> happening.) <br /> Thanks Mike for including us. I think I can speak for all the staff that we look forward to <br /> upgrades and improvements that the City has planned. We are only concerned that good <br /> money not be spent on items that can be vandalized. <br /> • <br />
