The initial vision calls for removal of the amphitheater, the addition of a BeerGarden and Caf, a Pavilion, Playground and Carousel. The schematic designalso calls for the continuance of the Hallway along the northern edge of MarketStreet, special lighting, and an event lawn.

This presentation is the initial step in the Project Approval Process for privatelyfunded projects within the Gateway Mall. On a motion by Byron Marshall andseconded by Jack Reis, the Board approved the preliminary prospectus.

Lynnea Magnuson then briefly provided an overview of a proposed newmemorial in the Civic Room. The Missouri Military Foundation, a not-for-profitcorporation, along with the Gold Star Mothers, has proposed the addition of amemorial honoring those killed in the current conflict. The site in discussionwould be directly across Chestnut from the Soldiers Memorial. The Foundationwould be responsible for all fundraising associated with both the construction and

maintenance of the memorial. They are aware that proper approvals, includingthat of the Advisory Board, will be necessary before proceeding beyond thevision stage.
