He informed us that whereas he was aware of the Walk of fame he had seen no specific timeline for placement or locations. Jane Dykema was handling this. He said Kevin !reen would have to speak for himself on his involvement but Mr. Gamble would work with us on any future developments. In the Matter of Justin Smith his mother spoke briefly and then we brainstormed on ways to help her. It was the consensus that this was not ready to go to council. Bob Bennett said that if all else fails there is space on the wall of City Hall next to the other veteran plaques. Maria said a fundraiser for the statue would draw attention and that would help the cause. Bonnie said Mrs. Smith needed to research the projected cost of the statue. Two or three places were suggested. • Page 2 September 12, 2006 We gave her a written list of what she can do next and suggested that when she has those in hand that she approach the mayor's office. The items on the list were more signatures and a projected cost. In the matter of Leepers field it was moved that We recommend that "due to lack of supporting documentation on community value council deny this request for a naming" On the Walk of fame we felt that a common citizen or a council -member should have some say in what narnes go to a vote. Also that the awards ceremony should be public and not limited to the elite. It was agreed that barring unexpected emergency we would cancel the August Meeting. There being no other business the meeting was adjourned at 6:42PM
