Committee confirms cenotaph engraving for Lance Corporal Stevenson
Summary
Members discussed a previously approved $250 engraving for a memorial cenotaph for Lance Corporal Stevenson and confirmed logistical details for placement on Memorial Island.
Committee members reviewed a previously authorized $250 engraving for a cenotaph honoring Lance Corporal Stevenson and confirmed the wording and timing for installation.
Chair said the council had approved purchase of the cenotaph marker and asked Public Works to confirm whether the inscription should show Stevenson's birth date or date of death; staff indicated the date of death is typically used for cenotaphs and the $250 engraving fee will cover the marker.
Joe Bernardo, Public Works, said the engraving and stone are in hand and that staff will confirm the permit details and exact wording before installation. Chair asked staff to ensure spelling and dates are correct prior to engraving.
The committee discussed timing and coordination with memorial services; no formal vote was recorded on the floor at this meeting because the council had approved the purchase at an earlier meeting, but the committee confirmed administrative steps for completing the cenotaph placement.
