Read at Sept. 10 council meeting

Town Council of La Conner:

Regarding my 18’ artisan fence donation, accepted by the Town Arts Commission Sept. 3, 2022 for installation in the Butterfly Garden adjoining the Civic Garden Club, South Second Street:

1. After thirteen contractors quickly or lengthily turned down the project, many no with reason given.

2. Note: I am paying for the total installation which Public Works Director Brian Lease advised, “would be not more than $15,000.” (I’ll pay more if needed).

3. Director Lease said his crew is capable of doing the work only if time is available.

4. March, 2025, would be ideal timing...
