Kraft, Sara Katz, Wayne Gross -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sandy, Bill here. Our understanding of the City Council's action is that this was symbolic. We do not expect that there will be a formal renaming of the boathouse. We do expect that there will be a sculpture commemorating
Big Joe, one which will be commissioned and dedicated on the Church Street
Marketplace. This won't happen by February. However, the public art process
has been underway, and a committee is working with Burlington City Arts to
select the appropriate artist for this project. Bill Mitchell Assistant to the Mayor >>> "Sandy Combs" wrote 11/03/05 10:52

(Burlington City Council's Resolution RE: Big Joe Burrell) Any chance of renaming the Boathouse on either of these
dates: 1] Thursday, Feb 2, 2006 (1-year anniversary of Joe's passing) 2] Thursday, Feb 9, 2006 (Anniversary of Joe's 82nd Birthday) I'd like to be able to make some definite plans concerning
Joe's Remembrance. Kindly advise as soon as possible. Thanks. Respectfully, Sandy Combs |
