Council agrees to memorial plaque honoring former mayor Russell Jones
Summary
Council approved a motion to commission a plaque dedicated to Russell A. Jones for placement at the harbor-master facility and discussed reading a proclamation at a memorial service.
Councilors agreed to commission a memorial plaque honoring Russell A. Jones and to arrange a proclamation in connection with a future memorial service.
T. Lee Bird, speaking as a resident, asked council to recognize Jones's "many contributions by fixing a plaque, dedicated to his memory at our marina," noting Jones's role in marina revitalization. A councilor moved to commission the plaque; the motion was seconded and council voted in favor. Members discussed wording and agreed the final text could be refined before fabrication; the harbor-master facility was the planned site.
Next steps: staff and volunteers will finalize wording and coordinate installation and a proclamation; council asked that the plaque and any proclamation be placed in connection with a memorial service and that the town proceed with a fabrication and installation timeline.
