3. WATER TOWER FUNDRAISING PLAN
Please see the attached memo regarding the work that has been done for the Jackson
Street Water Tower Restoration Project. The HPC needs to determine a
comprehensive plan for fundraising for the restoration. The Water Tower is
deteriorating and the costs to restore it will only get more expensive. Please bring your
thoughts and ideas. Please keep in mind that the fundraising may be better done
through another agency or a 501 c3 be created for this purpose since the City has
regulations on certain fundraising options.
