Elk Point VFW asks Union County commissioners to allow veterans memorial on courthouse grounds
Summary
Representatives of the Elk Point VFW, VFW Auxiliary and American Legion requested permission to place a veterans memorial on the Union County courthouse property; the Board heard the presentation but no vote or formal directive is recorded.
Representatives from the Elk Point VFW, VFW Auxiliary and American Legion appeared before the Union County Board of Commissioners on July 22, 2025, to request permission to place a veterans memorial on courthouse grounds. Star Welch, Toni Van Cleave and Jim Prouty spoke to the Board about the proposed memorial; the minutes record their presentation but show no motion or vote on the request.
Why it matters: courthouse property is public land and placement of a memorial requires Board approval and potentially follow-up steps such as site review, design approval, and a formal agreement. The July 22 minutes record the request but do not show any decision, timeline, or staff assignment to follow up.
The transcript lists the presenters and records that they "talked to the Board" about the memorial; it does not include direct quotes, a staff recommendation, or a recorded vote. No additional action was entered into the minutes during that meeting.
