The City Council’s Ad Hoc Veterans Memorial Park Veterans Recognition Subcommittee will hold its second of three meetings on Wednesday, July 29, at 5 p.m. in the City Council Chamber.

The City Council formed this subcommittee to gather input from veterans, nonprofit veteran organizations and community members on ways to recognize veterans at the park. 

During the first meeting on June 30, staff presented updated renderings of the Veterans Memorial Plaza, along with the preliminary renderings of the separate elliptical area that will surround the public art piece at the upper plateau, which presents another opportunity to incorporate features that honor veterans.

The subcommittee and staff are now exploring additional recognition elements that could be incorporated into the park through a potential donation-based program or other approach, such as adding commemorative pavers, tiles or plaques that people could purchase to honor specific veterans at the park.

At the next meeting, staff will present some conceptual images of how some of the ideas shared by the subcommittee and community members at the first meeting could be incorporated into the park.
