[Green] solar bench update

[Annie Warmke]

I understand the politics.  There's a meeting today with the library 
staff to discuss the creation of a garden at the library that will 
include some wooden sculptures.  We'll be able to gauge the interest in 
the solar bench being kept there.  I understand the politics.  It's my 
goal to push this along unless someone objects beause it's part of our 
neighborhood planning.  Another idea was to bring it to Oak Grove 
Cemetery since we are eager to see how that property could be utilized 
in a more useful way. Either way I will wait to hear back what's next.
