SUMMARY STATEMENT:
As presented at the September 13, 2012 City Council Meeting, the Centennial Committee has been actively raising funds for the completion of Centennial Plaza. One component of the Plaza
is the “art wall”- a serpentine rock wall that will include approximately 22 dates of local and national historic significance. Artists will interpret the historic events through the
use of mosaic tiles and glass. The events will also be listed at various locations along the 100 foot wall.
A list of historic events was suggested to the Centennial Committee by David Armstrong in June, 2012. The events were gleaned from records compiled by the McCall Historic Preservation
Commission and from events listed on the interpretive panels at Legacy Park. Events of national significance were added to the list. The list was then presented to a number of local
long-time residents to obtain input for dates and events of local interest.
The Council reviewed the list of suggested dates and events for the art wall and requested some changes. The Centennial Committee has revised the list of historic events and dates
suggested for inclusion on the
Art wall in Centennial Plaza and will present the revised list to the City Council for review and approval.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the recommended list of historic events for the Centennial Plaza art wall.
