Work session: Farley property water tank design
Discussed
A Bowen Collins & Associates engineer presented design concepts for a water tank on the Farley property that would also serve as a passive park. Council Members Spencer and Peterson asked for the tank to be low or buried, Macdonald wanted no paths on top, Council Member Debby Lauret asked for a perimeter fence like the one at the Sego Lily tank, and Mayor Brunst asked to see updated designs before any neighborhood meeting.
