Committee declines to offer smaller, lower-cost engravings for existing wall
Summary
After reviewing cost estimates and compatibility concerns, the committee decided not to offer smaller (15–25 character) engravings on the existing memorial wall and closed the item.
The committee discussed a proposal to offer smaller engravings (15–25 characters, birth/death year only) and reviewed estimated pricing. Jonah said the small-format option could range roughly "around, say, a $195, and $420 for custom." Members noted that the visual integration and legibility on the existing wall would be awkward with mixed sizes, and the committee voted to close the item and not offer smaller engravings on the current memorial panels.
Committee members asked staff to keep the idea on file for future projects but concluded the current memorial wall is not a good fit for smaller plaques because of spacing, legibility and design consistency concerns.
