The forms for both the basin and fountain were built at Harmon Construction. As reported last month, the fountain has been successfully poured. This week, Monday, August 1 1, Harmon removed the old fountain from the park (from Railway Avenue.) Congratulations and thanks to Harmon for their meticulous care and concern for the rest of the park and the poplar tree's root zone. We challenge anyone to find a construction site so very well contained and maintained. Harmon moved the basin/pool form from their shop to the fountain site in the park on Tuesday. This morning Harmon successfully poured the basin at the park site. Again, the surrounding site is amazingly undisturbed. Clean up will occur over the next several days. The fountain piece may be placed as early as next week, Monday, August 18, depending on weather. We have sent a request to SHPO to authorize placing the interpretive panel just off the bike path headed into the park, between the fountain and bikepath. "X" marks the spot on the attached rough sketch. Staff requests that the Commission during the Approval of the Agenda and Consent Agenda add Item F. "Set a Work Session to make a site visit and inspection of Hoben Park on Thursday, September 4, 2008 at 12 noon" to the agenda.

The Pioneers are planning on doing a small project but would like to see a citywide event tied in with this State holiday. The Pioneers sent a letter to the City of Seward and carbon copied the information to the Historic Preservation Commission {see attached letter). The Commission may be interested in hosting a Seward's Day Fireside Chat or a speaker to coincide with the Celebration. Staff recommends the Commission participate in the Celebration and discuss this further at a future work session. 5 Pioneers of Alaska Men's and Women's Igloos #9 PO Box 571 Seward, AK 9964 July 1 S, 2008 City of Seward Mayor, City Manager and City Council Members PO Box 67 Seward, AK 99664 Dear City Leaders: Re: Celebrating Seward's Day in Seward The Seward Pioneers of Alaska are interested in seeing some kind of celebration for Seward's Day in March every year. We plan to do some small project, but we would really like to see a citywide event tied in with this State holiday. This idea seems even more important as Alaskans celebrate 50 years of Statehood. The City of Sitka celebrates Seward's Day in March as well as Alaska Day in October. It is only fitting that the City of Seward would do something to honor its namesake, William H. Seward, with some kind of celebration. We encourage you, the City leaders, to give this idea serious consideration and support. Initiating a Seward's Day Celebration would be beneficial to the entire community.
