I noticed at the Adam Klipple quintet concert on April 18 that someone put a green metal table, with six seats, in the middle of the plaza, where we normally site our bands. We had to move the stage 50 feet to the south then tilt it towards the fountain, where people sit watch and listen. We had produced 40 previous events with the previous park configuration. I spoke to this point at tonite’s Parks commission meeting. Chair Amanda Brown in her questions to staff seemed to imply that the bench was installed by a “Friends of” group without commission or council inmout.

Here is a picture of Stephan Crump from 2022 that shows the normal position, relative to the power outlet/plow and fountain.
