Council asked to support restoration of Black Lives Matter mural; resolution included on agenda
Summary
Council members discussed a resolution supporting restoration of the downtown Black Lives Matter roadway mural; the resolution was listed on the agenda and the council approved the consent agenda that included items on tonight's docket.
Council members asked their colleagues to support a resolution backing restoration of the Black Lives Matter roadway mural in front of Borough Hall.
Council member George said the mural had been painted originally using DPW paint and volunteer effort and noted the design has faded over five years; Jason Prasselnik and others identified a resolution of support for restoring the mural as an item on the council agenda and encouraged approval.
The resolution was placed on the meeting’s consent agenda. The council later moved to adopt the consent agenda; a roll-call vote recorded affirmative votes. The council did not discuss design details, contract costs, funding sources, or a restoration schedule on the record.
Council members and the Human Relations Commission are listed as organizers of related flag-raising and community events that the speakers said will continue.
