At the May 7 meeting the Historical Markers committee reported six recent applications (one rejected) and several markers in various stages of approval and dedication.

The committee noted a revision to a marker for a train depot and hotel, a pending application for Immanuel Lutheran Church in Taylor, an American Legion Post submission in Taylor, and concerns about the Fore Cemetery lacking a cemetery marker needed to establish title. Kevin also described discussions with Leander city officials about requests from business owners to move three markers (including a marker for Leander Chiro on State Highway 183); possible relocation sites discussed included the new city hall or the original event locations.
