Hilde Performance Center Improvements and Veterans Memorial
George Watson, from WSB and Associates, consultant for the Phase 2 Hilde Performance Center
improvements and incorporation of a veterans memorial, illustrated preliminary designs and
requested feedback from the Council. The Council made the comments/suggestions:
Consider the inclusion of a water feature — as much for the sound as sight of water.
Try to integrate any text or graphics a the service branch flagging rather than the larger
monuments at the bases of the flags.
The low fencing at the memorial should be reviewed as to its need and appropriateness.
Perhaps it should be changed to a low wall that could double for additional seating. It
was made clear that if this adds significant cost to the project that it was not a mandatory
change.
Paving within the memorial should be something other than pavers. A durable slip
resistance surfacing should be installed. The detail in the pavement should not compete
with the memorial or sculpture for interest.
Park and Recreation Director Evans stated based on the comments/suggestions received this
evening, staff and the consultant will come back with other design elements and options for the
Council to review.
Future Study Sessions
No future study sessions were scheduled. However, by request of Councilmember Wosje, a
Suburban Transit Authority update was added to the March 11 Study Session agenda, and the
