• Council Liaison, Mayor Eric Jablin discussed the proposed sculpture garden for the
vacant property fronting Military Trail, directly North of City Hall and directly West of
the Police Department.
- Military Trail will be widened in front of City Hall, causing the loss of 12 feet of
property fronting the area.
- Within the next few months the City Council will consider a category 5 hurricane
hardened emergency operations center (EOC) being proposed for the site.

- A fagade is planned for the back of the building that would become theater space
converting the plaza into a gathering place where people could watch an event on
a real stage.

Oak Park near St. Mark's school for a sculpture garden.
- Discussion of ideas from other parks and areas ensued.
- Bringing art to the Veterans Memorial Plaza was discussed.
