Council agrees to bring back resolution for honorary sign recognizing longtime community volunteer Cleopatra Steele
Summary
Council members supported an honorary street sign recognizing Cleopatra Steele’s community work, including holiday meal distributions and a soup kitchen, and directed staff to prepare a resolution for a future meeting.
Lake City — Council members on Jan. 6 discussed a request to place an honorary sign on a city street to recognize long-time volunteer and community service organizer Cleopatra Steele.
Councilwoman Tammy Harris outlined Steele’s service, including annual community meals and operation of a local soup kitchen. Members generally indicated support for an honorary sign rather than a formal street-name change, which staff said is a lengthier process involving the state Department of Transportation. City Attorney Martin recommended presenting a written resolution at a future meeting so the council could memorialize the recognition in the minutes.
Ending: Council directed staff to prepare a resolution for formal consideration at the next meeting to create an honorary sign recognizing Cleopatra Steele. No street-name change was initiated at this meeting.
