Iconic Zoo Building to Spark Debate on Monday

The much awaited meeting between the Zoo and City Hall is Monday evening and once Council decides on the fountain art work, the discussion turns to the Aviary on the Zoo Grounds.
After renovations were made after a 2006 fund drive, the Zoo Board suddenly this year asked the building be demolished. A surprised Council toured the structure in the spring and informally concluded the structure would stay.
There seemed a willingness on Council's part to perform maintenance and repairs on the structure.
The first question is will the structure be an aviary (bird house) or will it perform some other function, whether it be display, educational or just a recreational spot on the grounds.
I suspect there are a lot of good ideas out there and am anxious to hear the discussion.

it's great that there "seems to be a willingness on the council's part to perform maintenance and repairs" on the building since that is the city's responsibility.
