Broadnax's memo also contained another surprise: while the plinth itself has not yet been opened, "a metal object was found in one of the pillars on a side stairway."
"This may or may not be the time capsule but appears to be a metal box that has collapsed," Broadnax wrote.
The city manager said the item was dispatched to city archivist John Slate for further investigation and preservation.
Whether that's the time capsule or it's located elsewhere, once the work is completed at Oak Lawn Park, the Office of Cultural Affairs will "prepare for a public opening of any time capsule found at the site," Broadnax wrote.
As for the memorial itself, Broadnax said a certificate for demolition or removal has been filed with Landmark, which will debate next month whether the Confederate War Memorial is part of the graveyard's historic designation given in 2002, or an outlier because it was moved from elsewhere and does not honor one of Dallas' founders.
This process could take several months -- especially if Landmark decides not to abide the council's Feb. 13 vote to remove the memorial.
The monument, located next to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, was recently defaced after the vote. Broadnax wrote that city officials are "exploring additional temporary measures to protect or cover the monument" during the lull.
