Council adds discussion of rail‑trail plaque; members debate dedication wording
Summary
Council voted to add agenda item to discuss installing a plaque on the rail trail recognizing those in office when the trail was built; members discussed whether to single out individuals or recognize administrations jointly and asked staff to research dates and existing plaques before moving forward.
A council member moved to amend the work session agenda to add a discussion about placing a plaque on the rail trail recognizing the mayor and council members who served when the trail was constructed; the motion was seconded and received a verbal 'aye.' At a later point in the meeting councilors revisited the idea and discussed whether the plaque should honor an individual or an administration and noted an existing plaque for the Oyster Cultivation Society.
Multiple councilors expressed personal interest in finishing and extending the rail trail. Staff was asked to gather historical photos and documentation about when the rail trail sections were completed and to return to the council with suggested wording and placement details so a formal action could be taken at a future meeting.
