Capitol Fencing Update - Committee Discussion Only
01:36:39 PM  
The committee was
called to order.

The committee took
a brief recess to see a mock-up of the fencing that was approved at the
August 20, 2021 committee meeting.
01:37:36 PM  
The committee came
back to order.
01:53:57 PM  
The committee talked
about next steps for the approval process for the fencing.  The committee
discussed adjustments to the fence design.
01:56:06 PM  
The committee discussed
the finial design, including a preference for a traditional triangular
design, rather than inclusion of the letter "C".
01:57:07 PM  
There was some agreement
on a more delicate finial.  If the letter "C" is used it
should be more stylistic, rather than modern, as in the mock-up fence.
01:57:59 PM  
There may be other
option to discuss, as funding is no longer available.  The committee
will need to make a new funding request, perhaps through the Joint Budget
Committee.
01:58:50 PM

a paper mock up on and slide show, as requested by Rick Lee.  Mr.
Lee will facilitate the process.  Cindi Markewell requested a rendering
to see how the fence would look around the Capitol building.

There was a discussion
about proposals and costs for re-locating the statue.  The Department
of Veterans and Military Affairs (DMVA) has offered to pay for the cost
of moving the statue to their site.  The letter solicits input.  There
may be be other parties interested in hosting the statue.  However,
parties must be able to move and place the statute appropriately.

There was a discussion
about varied and sufficient input.  Visitors to the Colorado History
Museum provided input about the soldier and location of the soldier.
