Council signals fresh look at Madeira veterans memorial; Parks & Rec to review options
Summary
Councilmember Chad Shaffer asked Council to revisit the city's veterans memorial after previously returned memorial bricks; Parks & Recreation Committee will examine options including an electronic-screen memorial, with further discussion forthcoming.
Councilmember Chad Shaffer raised the topic of a revised veteran's memorial, noting that earlier memorial bricks had been returned to veterans and that "now is the time to acknowledge all vets in the future." He urged the Council to "take a fresh look" and begin a process to determine a fitting tribute.
Kaity Rowe said the item is already on the next Parks & Recreation Committee agenda and noted the Parks & Rec Board has discussed the matter previously; Rowe suggested an electronic screen memorial as one possible solution. The matter will move to committee for detailed review and recommendations to Council.
