Mr. Mayhew moved for adoption of the Resolution and Ms. Tatum seconded the motion. Mr. Burkett reviewed the terms of the agreement with the Council. Ms. Hughson asked if the items in 6 (benches) were made of recycled materials, and Mr. Burkett stated yes. Mr. Mihalkanin stated he wants the placement of the benches to be well planned, and Mr. Burkett stated they have planned locations as shown on the map provided. Mr. Gilley stated the old benches would be removed. Mr. Mihalkanin asked how deep the shelters are because when it rains, there needs to be some protection provided. Mr. Burkett stated the shelters are 5 feet deep and 13 feet from side to side and can be enclosed. Mr. Burkett requested an amendment to the agreement. Ms. Hughson moved to amend Section 9 from 50 to 25 benches and Mr. Mihalkanin seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mr. Burkett stated he would try to get 50 benches placed by June 1st.
