Council approves streetscape tiles honoring local leaders as part of consent calendar
Summary
The Auburn City Council approved a consent-item streetscape tile program that includes tiles recognizing Charlie Yu, Harriet Crandall, Key Chin, Leadership Auburn and David Albright; the item passed as part of the consent calendar on March 23.
The Auburn City Council approved a recommendation from the History and Art Advisory Committee to install streetscape tiles honoring local community members and groups as part of the consent calendar at its March 23 meeting.
A council member introduced the item and said the tile program will recognize individuals and groups including Charlie Yu, Harriet Crandall, Key Chin, Leadership Auburn and David Albright. The councilmember said, "I knew his dad... I'm excited to have this tile here," and moved to approve the streetscape-history and art-advisory-committee recommendations. The motion was seconded and passed in the consent roll-call vote.
Why it matters: The tiles are intended to recognize community contributions and are part of broader efforts to enliven downtown spaces; staff will oversee placement consistent with the advisory committee's recommendations and applicable permits.
Next steps: Item 2 and item 3 (two lease items) were pulled for later consideration; staff will return those items at a future meeting.
