Mayor Harris added that she takes offense about the use of the word “decorate” because they are talking about an artifact that is meaningful as it relates to the community, and it is their job to look out for that artifact wherever it is placed. The Task Force recommended placing it as an educational display at the Center of Clayton, which is a great idea to include a narrative to be created. Afterward it will come down to the Board as to where it will be placed next. It is not a matter of “decorating,” it is a matter of safe-guarding and putting an artifact of the community that so much of Clayton’s history is embedded, good or bad, in a place that we think is appropriate as a Board. She is okay with the words “should or could,” and in the end this Board will decide on how to portray the painting. Alderman McAndrew commented that a decision has been made to take the portrait down from the council chambers and she would be okay with the words “could” or should” which leaves it open for the Task Force to look at what is created at the Center with the display. Once it has been there for a while then the Task Force could evaluate and possibly decide/recommend on where it should or could go. Motion made by Alderman Lintz to accept the recommendation by the Commemorative Landscape Task Force as presented to the Board. Alderman Berkowitz seconded.
