Prior to voting, the Council consensus was that some of the documents found in the capsule, or at least copies of some of them, should be displayed in Bowers Museum; that those that could be restored should be restored; and that the Cultural Heritage Committee should consider all of the comments made by members of the audience and Council, and add some original ideas of their own before making their final recommendations to Council. Councilman Markel stated that he had made an original sketch showing where the time capsule was located and had given that sketch to the City Manager; he inquired of the City Manager as to the whereabouts of the original sketch, stating that it was his and that it should be returned to him. The City Manager responded that unfortunately, the original sketch could not be located; that it had been turned over to the Director of Public Works, but that they now had only a copy of the sketch; that they could not have found the time capsule without Councilman Markel's instructions. Councilman Markel stated that he had contacted the Director of Public Works after the box had been removed to ask him for the sketch; that Mr. Wolford had told him that he had given it to the Clerk of the Council, Mrs. Malone, to make as many copies as she wanted. Councilman Markel further stated that he had materials in his possession to dwarf anything that had been removed from the capsule that evening; that he had done a service to the City and to the people of the community by revealing where the time capsule was located, and that every effort should be made to return the original sketch to him; that the copy of the sketch would not give him the satisfaction that the original sketch would give him. Council asked staff to see if they could locate the original sketch for Councilman Markel by informal unanimous consent.
