Resident proposes 25‑foot pole for 'America's 6' memorial at riverfront
Summary
A resident proposed enlarging the veterans' memorial by adding a 25‑foot center pole and replacing the POW/MIA flag with a space‑flight flag; the speaker said contractor quotes are ready and was advised to submit materials to City Hall for the next agenda.
A resident who described a plan to expand the existing veterans’ memorial said the project would add a 25‑foot pole centered between the current six poles, move the POW/MIA flag, and display a space‑flight flag. The speaker said they had collected contractor quotes and sponsorships and asked the council for direction on how to proceed with a formal request.
Council members encouraged the speaker to bring printed materials and a rendering to City Hall so the item can be placed on a future council agenda. The council offered to prepare a resolution if the required materials and quotes are submitted; no formal council action or funding commitment occurred at the Aug. 4 meeting.
