The City hosted a dedication ceremony for the new Winnequah Park Shelter yesterday afternoon. A very nice-sized crowd turned out on a crisp November afternoon. Among the honored guests were the Mayor, the members of the fundraising committee (Jennifer Kahl, Margaret Metcalfe, Bill Bathke, Elaine Axtell Thomas, and Tori Hull and members of the Parks Board (Pat Howell, Karen Turino, Pam Kitslaar, Lisa jo VonAllmen, and yours truly) .

Monona children's librarian Karen Wendt was on hand doing face-painting - Karen does great work for the library; check out out her wonderful children's programming on the library's Events Calendar.
Numerous other local worthies were on hand, including our new administrator Pat Marsh, former Mayor Dean Bowles and Ann Bowles, Parks Director Heidi Kruger, Alder Bob Miller, Richard and Judy Fritz, Greg Meyers (from Buffalo Wild Wings), former administrator Dave Berner and wife Bonnie, Jerry Nelson, Jeff Wiswell, Sr. and wife Tammy, city planner Paul Kachelmeier, Kevin Metcalfe, and the man who brought the Wife Carry to Monona, Tim Turino. Wife Carrying - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I know I am forgetting or didn't see a bunch of other equally worthy worthies.
Let the fun (and the litigation) begin!
The city council recently authorized the city attorney to take legal action against the shelter architect who did not design the building we told him to design (resulting in the water pipes not being winterized). And we have the video to prove it.

Were there written requirements given to the architect, or does the video just show a verbal discussion. If there was not a written list of requirements that the city then used as a check-off when the plans were submitted for approval then the city is purely at fault on this one. Suing the architect is an inappropriate shift of blame.
ReplyDeleteThe video shows the architect at the fundraising kickoff describing the building that they city wanted and it is consistent with what we told them we wanted.
