Residents press for updates on Veterans Memorial and park maintenance
Summary
A resident urged the council to help communicate with donors and the separate parks district about a long-delayed Veterans Memorial; speakers noted the memorial committee and park district handle the project and suggested attending their meetings for answers.
A resident (S5) used the public-comment period to press the council for information about the town's Veterans Memorial and the condition of the rodeo grounds'flag, saying the flag at the entrance was "undersized" and "torn and tattered." S5 said families who donated years ago have not seen ground broken and asked who oversees progress on the memorial.
Council members and staff clarified that the Veterans Memorial and rodeo-grounds park are managed by a separate parks tax district, not the town itself, and identified local contacts (Norma Eamon, John, Bonnie, Justin Lassen) who sit on or work with the memorial committee. S5 urged staff to relay a picture or update back to donors and suggested community members attend the parks-district meeting to press for progress.
