153 working drawings and specifications for the project would be included as part of the current year ' s stage of development for the park . In response to question by Councilman Weymouth , City Manamr indicated that a very preliminary estimate of costs for the memorial might amount to between $ 5 , 000 and $7 , 000 . Councilman Williams directed a question to Mr . James Knecht , member of the Park and Recreation Commission , express - ing concern as to whether the memorial would be so large as to dominate the park . Mr . Knecht responded that this would not be the case at all , that it was designed so as not to detract from the park in any way and was not proposed to be a huge structure . He noted this was a primary concern of the architect , and that it was designed to be a peaceful memorial , without overwhelming the park . City Manager added that the drawings projected for viewing by Council did not show the shrubbery and trees that would be placed within and around the area , which would give a better perspective . Also , that the structure would be simple , open framework , in the style of a pergola , and not a closed building . Following brief additional discussion , Counci lmal Weymouth moved to approve the design and location of the proposed Red Morton Memorial , seconded by Councilman Rhodes . Vice -Mayor Henderson questioned whether there might be a problem or conflict foreseen with regard to proceeding with the development of the park , pending the fund - raising drive for thi s particular project . City Manager noted that there is always chance involved when depending upon private donation , but it was not antici - pated the fund drive would fall short . He added that the memorial could be built last , if necessary , in the current phase of development of the park . Motion carried .
