the existing fountain, but improved the action of water and was safer for guests to use. The
design showed an upper pool which cascaded to the lower pool and stone edges were flushed

surface is ruff making it not slippery when walked on. Foley confirmed everything would be
replaced on the new fountain since the old fountain us leaking. Moffet confirmed the contract
amount. Mason requested the contractor to be aware of the special events that would be
occurring during construction. There was no public input.

There was no public input. Langmaid asked about STEM lab funding requested from Red
Sandstone. Bruno stated Council denied the funding in the 2019 budget because the Town had

$5000 request from the hockey club. Bruno pointed out the lack of Vail kids on the list traveling
to China. Mason stated she would not support the $5k request after receiving several calls from
