<div dir="ltr">Sorry, Annie, but we, the Green Sanctuary Committee, not the City of Marietta, picked the location for the bench after much discussion and debate. It was we, not the city, who should have known not to put it in the floodplain to begin with!! We bought the bench with money we were awarded from DuPont's Clear Into the Future Grant, and worked with the city to locate it on city property. The city paid for the slab it is affixed to. They were supportive and helpful. When we move it, we will be removing something from city property. I really don't know about its ownership. I don't think we put it in writing (Rebecca?) that we donated it to the city, but they agreed that we could install it on their property. Certainly we remain responsible for its upkeep, but I don't think that's in writing, either. We have had a great working relationship with the city on this project and on the riverbank pollinator plot, and I think we want to maintain that. So, I DO think we have to work with the city on moving it. Repairing it? No. Yes, we agree 100% that Jay can handle that? Moving it will almost certainly require disassembling it, and a big truck. I think the city assembled it originally (Rebecca?). <div><br></div><div>If it is going to go onto public property elsewhere, we will need permission and possibly assistance (a concrete slab) from the owner of that property--presumably city or county.

<p>Thanks for the update. The bench has to be taken apart and
removed for repair. Are we agreed that Jay and I can handle
that? The bench isn't really owned by anybody so it feels silly
to be asking permission. The city should have known not to put it
in the flood plain to begin with. Annie Warmke</p>

The city might need to give permission for moving it off city
property, since it provided the concrete and labor for the
original placement. That said, a partnership with the library
could be a good thing. In that location, though, we will need to
check the updated flood maps. Parts of Front Street have been
underwater before, though perhaps not since the dams went in.
FEMA does list that address as Zone AE. (I do suspect that the
architects are working with the flood maps.)</div>

<p>Please don't move forward on this idea. Roger Kalter, Jay
and I are working on this. The library has been approached
about placing the solar bench at the geological society
building and there is a plan for a garden there. This places
the bench in a location where we can more easily monitor it.Â
Jay is planning to repair it once it is moved. We will keep
you posted. Annie</p>
