Summary

The committee approved a draft press release to publicize temporary veteran markers and agreed to publish a QR code linking to a document listing gravesite locations; the press release will be routed to the city manager for review.

Members reviewed a draft press release and a proposed QR‑linked document that would allow members of the public to access a detailed gravesite list and maps for self‑guided tours. Stephanie Secord (identified in the transcript as the committee scribe) said she would provide a digital copy for preview and that Monty Bohannon, the city’s director of communications, would refine the draft before it is submitted to the city manager for review.

After discussion about listing Revolutionary War veterans and linking to a full document via QR code, a committee member moved to accept the draft press release for submission and the motion passed with an 'Aye' vote. As recorded in the meeting, the committee directed staff to route the draft to Monty Bohannon and the city manager for final review and distribution.
