Bank balks at fire station financing
In a move that took Morgan Hill officials by surprise, Bank of the West denied the city’s request for a loan to buy back two fire stations - an integral part of the new contract with CalFire to provide fire and emergency medical services inside the city limits.
City to sponsor artists to help decorate new downtown parks
The City of Morgan Hill, with support from the Library, Culture and Arts Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission, is sponsoring a call for artists to submit proposals for the design, fabrication and installation of public art at three planned new downtown parks.This effort seeks to add new elements of distinctive public art to the new Downtown Park Space and provide an opportunity for the community to think creatively and imaginatively about public park spaces, according to an email from city staff.Construction began last week on three new downtown parks: Depot Park on Depot Street; Creek Park on West Second Street and Hilltop Park/Trail at the top of the hill where West Third Street and Del Monte Avenue intersect.Submissions are due June 30. For details about the process, qualifications, criteria and submission, visit morganhill.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/21178.For questions about this project, contact Chris Ghione at (408) 782-9154 or [email protected].
