First Floor Corridor /West
April 14, 2015
August 2014 BoCC motion:
“Direct staff to prepare a blue sheet for
the placement of one of the lions at the
higher location at the proposed site
(County Administration Building Corridor)
and including restoration and have the
second lion remain at Hague until further
notice. Staff has discretion to restore both
lions if it is cost effective.”

included one lion near floor level. Proposal now will display one lion at CAB)
