Council approved a family-funded memorial bench for the Willard Historic Cemetery at the family's request; the family will coordinate location with public works and the council approved the project with one abstention.
Council approved the dedication and placement of a bench at the Willard Historic Cemetery in memory of Marlene Braggart Jones. A family member explained she had researched options and that family donations would cover the cost of the bench, concrete base and labor, and said she would coordinate placement with public works.
Council moved and seconded the project. On the record the mayor said the proposal fit the cemetery area and that no city funds would be required; the council approved the dedication and Mike registered an abstention on the vote.
