HCAC landmark workgroup memo 
 
The Town of Fountain Hills History and Culture Advisory Commission workgroup including 
Bob Burns, Chandler Harper and Tim Yoder met to discuss further action regarding 
application for historic landmark designation for the Fountain. 
 
After the state evaluation committee rejected the initial submittal that included Fountain 
Park the workgroup is proposing to refocus the application on the Fountain only 
highlighting the technical and design features of the attraction along with water 
conservation elements through its recycling qualities. 
 
The group is also proposing that contacts be made to consider the feasibility of retaining 
assistance from a consultant in preparing a new application. /Chandler Harper 
 
Chandler Harper is also preparing research based on other similar applications 
nationwide. 
 
Bob Burns will reach out to MCO Realty officials locally to inquire about access to potential 
records that might be available from the descendant corporate entity of McCulloch Corp. 
now based in Texas. 
 
These are the workgroup recommendations for consideration by the commission.
