VI. Fossil Creek Community Park
Jeff Lakey, from the City of Fort Collins' Park Planning and Development Department along with Ethan
Andrews and Christian Muller from Artscapes, presented to the board possible changes to the Fossil Creek
Community- Park Project due to budget constraints to the Park Planning & Development budget. The art
element designated for the entryway of the "Time Walk" was going to be eliminated as a result of the cutbacks.
It was decided that other changes should be made in order to maintain the entryway artwork. Changes
proposed include the `Ripple Cove" being redesigned to minimize the depth and use of concrete and replace it
with earth berms.
Ms. Hixon-Cunningham moved to add an addendum to the Fossil Creek Community Park contract to
transfer some of the funds from the `Ripple Cove" to the "Time Walk" entry.
Ms. Liska-Smith seconded.
Mr. Sherman abstained.
Approved.

waves with colorful tile "towels" Reflective, fisheye and colored lenses are imbedded in the forms allowing the
viewer to look through and even see images of the pool as it was in the past. The title references the length of
the pool season. Events of the summer will be illustrated in some of the 100 aluminum disks spread
throughout the plaza. The team sought to create a welcoming entryway with a beach feel out in front of the
