Council adds flagpole and memorial boulder to Veterans Park plan, approves layout
Summary
Lafayette councilors approved the presented layout for Veterans Park, added a flagpole and memorial boulder to the project, selected tree types, and heard a city engineer estimate that the base project (excluding those items and lighting) would cost about $150,000.
The Lafayette City Council reached consensus to include a flagpole and a memorial boulder in a planned redesign of Veterans Park and approved the park layout presented by the city engineer.
City Engineer Munro reviewed the draft design and estimated that the project, without the flagpole, memorial boulder and lighting, would cost roughly $150,000. Councilors discussed the timeline for a flagpole dedication; Councilor Russell Burrows noted a change to that schedule. The council settled on planting one maple and one evergreen tree, favoring low‑maintenance species, and approved the layout as presented.
City staff will proceed with final design steps and associated procurement planning; the engineer provided an update on the timeline for upcoming city projects.
