Council discusses forming Clifton Heights memorial wall committee to recognize longtime contributors
Summary
Council members proposed forming a small volunteer committee to install lettering and manage an honor wall recognizing community members, fire and police history and sports contributors; volunteers will be solicited and appointments made to avoid quorums.
Council members discussed creating a memorial wall at a public intersection to recognize local contributors dating back to the borough's founding. Speaker 3 described plans for lettering to read "Clifton Heights Borough 1885" with panels recognizing community members, the fire company, police and sports organizations, and asked for volunteer council members to serve on a small committee to vet honorees.
"The purpose was there's a lot of people that did a lot of good things over [the years] since 1885," Speaker 3 said, and urged organizations to submit names so families can be recognized at a later civic event. Speaker 3 and Speaker 1 discussed keeping the committee under quorum size and allowing organizations to propose nominees, with the borough ensuring nominees are credible from a public standpoint.
No official appointments were made at the caucus; Speaker 1 invited council members who wish to volunteer to contact council member Braun (reference in transcript) to participate when the committee is formed.
