Council OKs fountain purchase for Lion's Lake to aid water clarity

Council approved acceptance of a bid from Site One Landscape Supply to purchase a new fountain for Lion's Lake. Staff and council members said the fountain uses a different pump design (a well pump) with a four-year warranty and that redirecting previously allocated aeration funds to the fountain would help water clarity and public perception.

Presenters said the previous fountain had recurring pump failures and the new design has proven durability in other installations. Council voted to accept the bid and authorize the purchase (Ordinance 7B).
