Subject: PROGRESS REPORT FOR HARVEY'S GARDEN FOR DEC. 2014
Hi Petey, David, Mary, Peggy & Juli
PROGRESS REPORT FOR HARVEY'S GARDEN DECEMBER 2014
In December we removed dead plants
Installed some new plants & added irrigation where needed.
Weeded
Had one tour
Planned ahead forJanuary 2015 —our biggest project yet.
Planning including getting Tiburon Public Works to remove
about 7 old non performing Manzanita which they will do for us/
In order to get to those Manzanita we need to remove 16 good size salvia.
We will dig them up, put each one in a 5 gallon pot & transfer them to
Harvey's home where he will keep them watered —then re plant them
after this project is complete. We also need that space for Martin Bros
to deliver about 16 cubic yards of new top soil which must be spread
by shovel & then raked. Those Manzanita bloomed only 3 weeks.
With research Harvey has a list of replacement plants that will bloom
for many months greatly enhancing our garden.

I wanted to voice my opinion against the proposed sculpture offered for quasi-permenant placement within our
town of Tiburon. I have observed this massive piece of bent rusty construction girders sitting at Crissy Field for
what seemed forever. To even consider such a piece of junk as "art" boggles the mind. To think that certain
members of the town can influence the council to re-evaluate the placement of such a nuisance seems suspect at
best.
I would ask the town council to stick with it's original decision and not accept this sculpture for placement in
Tiburon.
Thank you,
Kurt Benner

PS: I am hearing that you may also be considering the circle of iron that is currently in place at the lagoon as a
permanent location. I would again urge the town council not to keep this sculpture in Tiburon.

Subject: Relocation of the library Gallows wheels
Hi Peggy,
I am asking the Town of Tiburon to reconsider the relocation of the Gallows Wheels from the library to shoreline
park.
Unlike my neighbors who view the wheels as an ugly stacking of garbage interfering with their view of the Bay, I am
very concerned over the liability issues of stacking dangerous and rusty wheels in a public park where children will
be climbing over them.
The risk of injury is too large to ignore. Children will be drawn to climb on the structure and put themselves at risk
of falling. The very teal possibility of broken bones, infections, serious illness, or worse as a result of cuts on rusty
equipment puts the Town at such a large liability to lawsuits that I can't imagine the Council even considering such
a relocation.
I would ask that the Town Council reconsider it's decision to move the Gallows Wheels from the library.
Thank you,
Kurt Benner
