Summary

Staff presented a redesigned Veterans flag‑retirement memorial (custom fire pit) funded by roughly $22,000 raised for the original memorial project; staff aims to complete the feature by Veterans Day and will secure additional engineering quotes and work with the American Legion and VFW.

Jane Robertson, management services manager, provided an update on a Veterans flag‑retirement area to be located in Stevenson Park that will use roughly $22,000 previously raised for a larger memorial.

Robertson said staff redesigned the concept after consulting with the American Legion and VFW because a custom fire pit will better meet the organizations’ needs; that design requires additional engineering. The new plan moves the fire pit slightly away from the building and includes a locking grate to prevent unintended uses.

Staff aims to complete the feature by Veterans Day (Nov. 11) and said the Legion and VFW have offered to help with funding if additional dollars are needed. Council recognized the community importance of proper flag retirement ceremonies and asked staff to continue coordination.
