At the start of the meeting a resident urged the council to recognize Casey Kinamura, a North Ogden resident and veteran who will turn 100 this month and who served with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team during World War II.
Resident Philip Swanson asked the council to prepare a proclamation or a similar recognition. Council members asked for additional biographical background and asked staff to return with a proposed form of recognition.
