5:35pm
Members in attendance: William Hubbell, Maria Enriquez,
Bonnie Bennett, Michael Mcadden
Applicants: Judy Smith
Other Guests:
• Chad Gamble ( Public Service Director),
• Robert Bennett
Motion was made to defer minutes to next meeting (passed)
Chad Gamble was moved to the Top of the agenda as he had
other time constraints. 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.

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
