Commissioners approve memorial designation for First Avenue to honor veterans
Summary
Taylor County commissioners approved a resolution to memorialize First Avenue in partnership with American Legion Post 291; staff said the designation will be a memorial sign only and will not change 911 addresses.
Taylor County commissioners voted Jan. 5 to move forward with a memorial designation for First Avenue at the request of American Legion Post 291. Commissioner Newman said the American Legion places crosses and flags on the roadway during Memorial Day and Veterans Day and asked the board to adopt a resolution to memorialize the route with signage.
Staff told commissioners the designation would be a memorial sign only and would not change 911 addresses or create confusion; staff will circulate a conceptual sign design and provide cost estimates. Commissioner Newman and other board members expressed support for recognizing veterans and requested that the resolution and sign plan move forward.
A motion to direct staff to prepare a resolution to memorialize First Avenue was made and seconded, and the board approved the motion (mover and seconder recorded in the transcript; vote tally not specified). Staff said they will work with the American Legion and return with a resolution and cost estimates for signage.
