The Centralia City Council will consider the approval of the Pearl Street memorial plaza and fountain agreement with the Recreation and Conservation Office at its Tuesday night meeting.
According to the council agenda report, the city, with the assistance of the Save The Outdoor Pool organization, has received a Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office grant. The money is to be used to construct a public plaza and dry deck foundation adjacent to the Pearl Street Veterans Memorial Pool.
The 50/50 matching grant is in the amount to $240,000. It is one of two grants the city has received to construct the plaza and fountain area.
Other elements of the area will include the construction of a restroom and mechanical building, benches, a pergola, flag pole, pathways, landscaping and chain-link fencing.
The RCO Project Agreement states the primary recreational opportunity provided by the project is “passive outdoor recreation and active water play.”
The council will vote to approve the agreement. Upon approval the city manager will be authorized to sign the agreement with the Recreation and Conservation Office.
