Council discusses Rainbow Bridge pet memorial and pet banners for downtown
Summary
Council members supported exploring a community pet memorial (Rainbow Bridge) and selling pet banners downtown, and asked staff to coordinate with local animal‑shelter fundraisers and the Community Development Committee.
During announcements a council member proposed creating a Rainbow Bridge pet memorial and installing pet banners downtown. The member said the memorial would draw the community together and suggested partnering with local fundraising organizations for the animal shelter; other council members and staff reacted positively and encouraged follow‑up with the Community Development Committee.
Ideas included painting an existing bridge in rainbow colors, placing a plaque with the poem that inspired the "Rainbow Bridge" concept, and selling pet banners for seasonal displays downtown. Council asked staff to discuss the idea with community fundraisers and bring implementation suggestions back to a committee meeting. No funding decisions or formal approvals were made during the session.
